The executing agency and the national project implementation team need to have adequate capacity to undertake the varied roles required in a broad project like this. Such roles as procurement, management of civil works contracts, record keeping, monitoring, and evaluation are just some of the necessary attributes required of a project management team. If the capacity is not present at inception, then part of the initial implementation process should include provision for on-the-job training and capacity building.

In this project, MoEYS could have more effectively utilized the project management and implementation support consultants to assist it in recruiting individual procurement consultants and in contract management.
