Lesson
Program design and implementation in least developed (and fragile) countries need to take account of the limited administrative capacity of the government.

These deficiencies contributed to the underperformance in program outcomes.

The civil service and budgetary reforms supported by the program will contribute to more efficient public administration and budget expenditures over time.

These indicators were not aligned with the impact statement, which aimed for improved service delivery.
