OVERVIEW OF TASAF Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF) is a Community-Driven Development (CDD) operation initiated by the Government of Tanzania to enhance its efforts on poverty reduction. Its Development Objective is to improve access of communities to enhanced socio-economic services and income generating opportunities. The objective is linked to Millennium Development Goals (MDG�s) indicator targets as stipulated in the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP/MKUKUTA). The project provides a mechanism that allows local governments to respond to community demands focusing on interventions that will ultimately contribute to the attainment of MKUKUTA objectives and those of the Millennium Development Goals.

The Project has been delivering critical infrastructure services and social assistance to the urban and rural poor, while at the same time addressing institutional organization and capacity-building needs at village and LGA levels. Eventually communities have been able to improve access to basic socio-economic services, increase access to income generating opportunities and improve the quality of basic services as well as enhancing livelihoods of beneficiaries for marginalized groups in the communities.

TASAF II operations are guided by the following key principles: (i) Autonomous but operating in harmony with other ongoing initiatives within the Local Government

Reform Program, in order to ensure sustainability of the Fund�s achievements. (ii) Demand-driven and follows a bottom up planning and decision-making approach. (iii) Finances community-initiated projects directly; (iv) Acts as a safety net by targeting vulnerable households and poor communities; (v) Conform to sector norms and standards. (vi) Non-partisan and apolitical. (vii) Modalities to access the Fund have to be clear; (viii) Delivery structure ensures speedy operations; (ix) Adequate and timely technical support; (x) Transparent and demonstrate full public accountability; (xi) Processing and management are cost-effective; and (xii) Strengthen community empowerment.

TASAF II MAIN COMPONENTS TASAF II is implemented under two major components, namely the National Village Fund (NVF) and Capacity Enhancement (CE). The target groups for the NVF are: the service poor communities who lack basic social and market services such as education, water and sanitation, roads, banking and markets; the able-bodied individuals in food insecure households who are provided with temporary employment opportunities so as to increase their cash income, skills, and opportunities from working in financed public works programs; and households with vulnerable individuals (orphans, disabled, elderly, widows/widowers and those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS) who are provided with assistance to manage sustainable economic activities for income generation purposes.

TASAF II also receives Ring-fenced funds from Marine and Coastal Environment Management Project (MACEMP), the Participatory Forest Management (PFM) a sub component under Tanzania Forest Conservation and Management Project (TFCMP), Community AIDS Response Fund (CARF) sub component under Tanzania Commission For Aids (TACAIDS), Community AIDS Response Fund (CARF) sub component under Zanzibar AIDS Commission (ZAC), and Tanzania Poverty Reduction Project (TPRP) under Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Following TASAF II principles and procedures these institutions have been disbursing funds to the community for the selected sub project related to their sectors. The Ring-fenced facility operates under the NVF and follows the NVF rules of access, and serves as a collaborative arrangement and broadens the use of the CDD approach. The Capacity Enhancement (CE) component provides expertise required for communities to efficiently achieve their objectives. Its major functions are to enhance capacities of communities and other stakeholders; to promote transparency and accountability in the management of TASAF supported activities at all levels and promote formation of voluntary savings and investment groups.

Moshi, Kwimba, Lushoto, Makete and Nzega still in progress. Second round of household

surveys has been completed in all districts. Follow up surveys (HH_R3) for Moshi and

Lushoto could not start as per revised study schedule due to delay in soliciting funds for

the work. It is expected to start in September2011. According to the revised work schedule,

third round surveys for Kwimba, Makete and Nzega districts is planned to start in

October, 2011.

16 The implementation of Citizen Report Card in Tanzania was completed. The survey

findings dissemination meetings with TASAF team, sector ministries, PMO-RALG and

stakeholders were conducted in July and August 2011.

and other staff matters were discussed.

26 TASAF III -Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN) preparation meetings continued, where

thematic groups continued to accomplish agreed assignments, before appraisal Mission.

27 New 11 staff joined TASAF during the quarter

Procurement

28 The Unit continued with provision of procurement support services to implementing

agencies as per approved Annual Procurement Plan to get procurement requisite capacity

to implement the community sub project cycle activities and acquiring various goods and

services and, management of contracts.

29 General Implementation Challenges i. Low number of completion certificates issued compared to completed subprojects

reported by LGAs. This is due to delay in engaging external sector experts to

evaluate completed subprojects by LGAs.

ii. Limited available sector experts at LGAs/Islands and ward level for supervision and

monitoring of the large number of subprojects pose difficulties in monitoring and

follow-up during implementation for some LGAs.

iii. Lack of funds for extending Spot Audits to other LGAs

iv. Rising operating and maintenance costs due to aged project vehicles. Frequent

breakdowns also affect provision of technical backstopping services to LGAs.

v. Lack of funds for Staff training

vi. Frequent breakdown of HP Compaq laptops and desktops which seemingly to have

exceeded recommended lifespan and inadequate financial resources for replacement

Page 12: First Quarter Implementation Progress Reportinteractions.eldis.org/sites/interactions.eldis.org/files/database_sp... · TANZANIA SECOND SOCIAL ACTION FUND First Quarter Implementation

xi

vii. Lack of close follow up of implementation of engineering verified subprojects for

completion and functionality at LGAs.

viii. Responses not timely provided on issues reported by LGAs� Internal Auditors and,

FOOs by LGA Management

30 Recommendations and Way Forward

In order to address the afore-mentioned challenges, the following measures have been

taken:

i. The LGAs have been argued to expedite the process of evaluating completed subprojects by external experts and apply for completion certificates.

ii. TMU will continue providing backstopping support services to slow performing LGAs to reverse the current trends in the areas of completion and justification

iii. TMU will dispose of aged vehicles and buy new ones for field works and other operations

iv. TMU has started recruitment process to fill some of vacant positions, v. Once funds will be available , some will be allocated for Staff training and

development vi. To remind LGA Directors to timely respond to issues reported by LGAs� Internal

Auditors and FOOs and take corrective actions for improvement..

1.0 PROGRESS OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

1.1 General Overview

To achieve the Project Development Objective (PDO), TASAF II is implemented under two major components, namely the National Village Fund (NVF) and Capacity Enhancement (CE). The target groups for the NVF are: the service poor communities who lack basic social and market services such as education, water and sanitation, roads, banking and markets; the able-bodied individuals in food insecure households who are provided with employment opportunities so as to increase their cash income, skills, and opportunities from working in NVF financed public works programs; and households with vulnerable individuals (orphans, disabled, elderly, widows/widowers and those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS) who are provided with assistance to manage sustainable economic activities for income generation purposes. TASAF II also receives funds for supporting community subprojects from other Projects through its Ring Fenced Window: Marine and Coastal Environment Management Project (MACEMP), the Participatory Forest Management (PFM) a sub component under Tanzania Forest Conservation and Management Project (TFCMP), Community AIDS Response Fund (CARF) sub component under Tanzania Commission For Aids (TACAIDS), Community AIDS Response Fund (CARF) sub component under Zanzibar AIDS Commission (ZAC), and Tanzania Poverty Reduction Project (TPRP) under Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Following TASAF II principles and procedures these institutions have been disbursing funds to the community for the selected sub project related to their sectors. The Ring-fenced facility operates under the NVF and follows the NVF rules of access and procedures. The Capacity Enhancement (CE) component provides required expertise for communities to efficiently achieve their objectives. Its major functions are to enhance capacities of communities and other stakeholders; to promote transparency and accountability in the management of TASAF funded activities at all levels, and to Promote formation of Voluntary Savings and Investment groups.

1.2 National Village Fund (NVF) Implementation Status

During the quarter, a total of 154 Subproject applications were received from Local

Government Authorities, in Tanzania Mainland and the Islands of Unguja and Pemba

in Zanzibar. An increase of about 66 percent, on 93 applications received in the last

quarter of year 2010/11, as illustrated in Figure 1 below. These were verified by Project

Officers at TMU, to confirm if they complied with NVF criteria for funding before

being forwarded to SET for further verification of Sector Norms and Standards.

Generally, the number of new applications received is not is many, because, most

Page 14: First Quarter Implementation Progress Reportinteractions.eldis.org/sites/interactions.eldis.org/files/database_sp... · TANZANIA SECOND SOCIAL ACTION FUND First Quarter Implementation

2

LGAs/VPO-2 had fully absorbed their allocated funds. The number of new

applications received during the Quarter, was largely from 63 Identified Food

Insecure LGAs/VPO-2, financed under Additional Financing I& II (AF I& II).

Implementation in other LGAs focused on other aspects, like; subprojects completion

and functionality, justification of disbursed and thereof utilised funds, and supporting

communities, which have completed their subprojects, to apply for completion

certificates from TMU.

Figure 1 : Trend of New Subprojects Applications Submitted

by LGAs/VPO-2 in the last Four consecutive Quarters

Cumulatively, 12,391 subproject applications have been received from all LGAs/VPO-2, since the Project was launched in year 2005. The number of applications has surpassed the target value of 5,950 subprojects at the design stage. Additional resources obtained in TASAF II; from Ring Fenced Projects and Additional Financing I &II, amounting to US$ 47Million and US$ 65 Million respectively, have greatly contributed to this achievement. Additional Financing I &II, resulted into extension of TASAF II implementation period, from June 2009 to June 2013.

1.3 Processing Subprojects for Funding

During the quarter under review, a total of 273 Subprojects, with a total disbursement value of TZS 5,089,640,217 were processed and endorsed by National Steering Committee (NSC) for funding. This reflects an increase of about 63 Percent over 167 Subprojects processed in the prior quarter, worth TZS 4,175,938,514. The number of

1.7 Sub projects Completion and Certification

During the reporting period, a total of 184 subprojects have been reported completed, a

decrease of about 61 Percent of 473 subprojects completed in the last quarter of previous

year. Cumulatively, 8,717 subprojects have been completed.

However, during the reporting quarter, 182 certificates were issued to completed sub projects, compared to 295 issued in the previous quarter, a decrease of about 38 percent. Therefore, a total of 5,977 certificates have been issued to completed subprojects. About 69% of completed sub projects have been issued with completion certificates. Evidently, there is a discrepancy between number of subprojects completed and completion certificates issued. TMU has set up strategies to ensure that all completed subprojects at LGAs/communities are issued with completion certificates. These include formation of task forces and appointment of focal Programme Officer for each zone to team up with respective cluster Finance and Operations Officers (FOOs).

2.0 CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT

The Capacity Enhancement (CE) component supports capacity building to communities and other stakeholders; to promote Transparency and Accountability in the management of TASAF funded activities at all levels and to promote formation of voluntary savings groups. These three main objectives are set to be achieved through the activities undertaken under Development Communication (DC), Training, Research and Participation (TR&P), Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Information Technology and Management Information Systems (IT&MIS) and Community Savings and Investment Promotion (COMSIP). Implementation status of activities for CE component is summarized under each sub-component as discussed below.

2.1 Development Communication

Publicity about TASAF II supported activities and implementation achievements attained so far, continued during the reporting period. To achieve that various means of disseminating information to the relevant stakeholders and the general public were used as follow:

2.1.4 TASAF Special Regional Supplements During this period, a total of 132,000 copies of TASAF Special Regional Supplements were compiled and published on widely circulated local Newspapers country wide, covering the following regions: Rukwa, Manyara, Pwani (Coast), Dodoma, Lindi and Arusha. For each Region, 22,000 copies of the Regional supplements were printed. The Special supplements featured successfully completed sub projects and success stories on the positive impact of sub projects into lives of the beneficiary communities. The feedback we get from the readers, show that these Regional supplements are well received and they promote TASAF work beyond the Regions in which sub projects are implemented.

2.1.5 Press Releases Press releases enforce transparency and accountability in implementation community development interventions. During the reporting period, a press release was issued in September, 2011. It mainly focused on Subprojects completion, justification of disbursed funds for all LGAs in Tanzania Mainland, as well as, Unguja and Pemba in Zanzibar. This method worked well as a tool to inform the Public on Project progress and triggered weak performing LGAs to initiate strategies for improvement. There has been an increase of sub projects completion, that call for more efforts on processing completion certificates

2.1.6 Participation in Public Exhibitions TASAF participated in Farmers� Day Exhibition (Nane-Nane), which took place in August, 2011 at Nzuguni grounds in Dodoma Region. It took this opportunity to display achievements realized in project implementation and benefits gained by beneficiaries of the project. This was a good forum for TASAF to meet members of the general public for clarifications of issues and respond to various inquiries. Beneficiaries from Rufiji, Kongwa,

Page 23: First Quarter Implementation Progress Reportinteractions.eldis.org/sites/interactions.eldis.org/files/database_sp... · TANZANIA SECOND SOCIAL ACTION FUND First Quarter Implementation

11

Dodoma and Zanzibar participated by show casing products made and processed by their respective groups.

2.1.7 Radio Programs During this quarter, 12 Radio Programs were broadcasted. Apart from the managerial aspect on the implementation of TASAF activities, the program featured interviews with beneficiaries of sub projects, who informed of achievements they have realised through TASAF support. Themes covered by the programs were; Community Savings and Investment Promotion (COMSIP), Community Based Conditional Cash Transfer (CB-CCT) and Public Works Programs (PWP).

2.2 Training, Research and Participation (TRP)

During the period under review the Training, Research and Participation (TRP) Unit continued to coordinate and oversee the training, research and participation functions at the community, Local Government Authority/VPO-2 and national levels. During the reporting period the following activities were accomplished:

2.2.1 CB-CCT Pilot Programme

The Community Based Conditional Cash Transfer (CB-CCT) Pilot Programme provides grants to targeted Poor and Vulnerable households upon complying with agreed specific household co-responsibilities like: keeping school age children enrolled in and attending schools and taking children of 0- 5 years to health facilities and elderly persons visit health facilities on a regular basis. Likely outcomes of the Program will be: increased enrollment rates, improved preventive health care, and raise household consumption and hence improve human capital indicators. In respect of implementation of CB-CCT the following activities were undertaken: Two transfers of Cash were made, as summarised in Tables 4, 5 and Figure 11. It is worth noting that, individual beneficiaries increased by 1,229, during the tenth transfer, as more households were enrolled in the process of scaling up.

2.3 Monitoring and Evaluation Unit

The overall objective of Monitoring and Evaluation in TASAF II is to ensure better planning, targeting, provide feedback to relevant stakeholders and timely decision making in order to improve service delivery. During the reporting period, the following activities were undertaken: 2.3.1 Dissemination of Information to Stakeholders It is apparent that, dissemination of information to stakeholders, regarding progress of Project activities implementation is one of the core functions of Monitoring and Evaluation process. To achieve this, several reports were prepared and distributed to relevant stakeholders to show progress of Project implementation towards achieving Project Development Objective (PDO). These included Project Quarterly Progress reports, Review of LGAs� Progress Reports, Annual Progress Report, Management Reports and Ad hoc reports, as they were demanded by Stakeholders. 2.3.2 Studies and Surveys 2.3.2. 1 TASAF II VG Impact Evaluation Study Follow up and supervision of TASAF II-VG Impact Evaluation Study in five selected survey District Councils, which started in year 2008, continued during the Quarter. The study districts include: Moshi, Lushoto, Kwimba, Nzega, and Makete. The objective of the study is to assess the impacts of supporting Income Generating interventions for the poor and Vulnerable Groups (VG) such as Orphans, Elderly, People with disability, Widows, Unemployed youths etc. The Consultants undertaking this study is Ms. Economic Development Initiatives (EDI) of Bukoba, Tanzania. The progress of the study can be summarized as follows; Second Round Survey (HH_R2) has been completed in three Districts of Kwimba, Makete, and Nzega, which had lagged behind. Funds for implementation were disbursed to LGAs for the groups in the control Villages. Therefore, all participating LGAs have completed their second round survey (HH_R2). Unfortunately, delays occurred, as the third round (HH_R3) for Moshi and Lushoto could not occur, according to revised schedule. Funds were not timely mobilized. The work is now expected to start in October 2011. TOR for third round of Household Survey (HH_R3) for Kwimba, Makete, and Nzega was prepared and the assignment is expected to start in November or December, 2011. TMU conducted field visits to Kwimba, Nzega, Moshi and Lushoto to assess the progress of implementation and provision of technical support. Some groups� plans were revised, based on discussions held with them, to address challenges encountered, so as to expedite implementation.

Justification of funds disbursed for subprojects implementation and facilitation have been submitted smoothly especially for the LGA�s/Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba) with full time Village Fund Justification Assistants and Village Fund Coordinators. In LGAs without full time VFCs and VFJAs, reminders have been made to respective LGA Directors to allocate full time qualifying officers and ensure smooth flow of justification reports. The justification status shows that as at 30/09/2011 TZS 158.6 billion were justified against TZS 208.6 billion disbursed above 1 year; reflecting 76.04% of amount disbursed. For amounts disbursed between 6 and 12 months (TZS 1.7 billion) TZS 0.4 billion have been justified reflecting 13.78% of disbursed amount, and for amounts disbursed below 6 months (TZS 2.2 billion) TZS 0.09 billion have been justified which is 04.20% of disbursed amount. In overall TZS 158.9 billion representing 74.80% of the total amount disbursed of TZS. 212.5 billion has been Justified as at 30th September, 2011. We expect joint backstopping teams from TMU to slow performing LGAs will accelerate the completion and justification status to above 90% for amounts disbursed over one year by end of 2nd Quarter of the 2011/2012 financial year.

3.1.3 Deviations and Reasons

Tables 17-22 show that cumulatively all categories are still within allocated funds. However, the main TASAF II Credit No. 4002 TA and Grant No. H 1340 TA , have been fully absorbed. Current disbursements are accessed through the two Additional Financing facilities (AF I and AF II) CB-CCT pilot preparatory operations are complete and the main preoccupation is the cash transfers to the targeted beneficiaries with corresponding impact assessment and reviews. After reviewing the Proxy Means Testing formula and agreed upon, CB-CCT beneficiaries will access the AF I funds under category 1 D.

3.1.4 External Audit for the Year 2009/2010 Accounts

The External Audit for the year 2010/2011 accounts is in progress with NAO audit teams conducting field visits to sampled 34 LGAs and in Unguja and Pemba. We expect this audit

exercise will be completed in due course and an audit report is expected to be issued on time for submission to IDA before the due date of 31/12/2011.

3.2 Procurement Issues

3.2.1 Introduction:

This status on Procurement and related activities for TASAF II aimed at providing procurement support services to implementing agencies to get procurement requisite capacity to implement the community sub project cycle activities and acquiring various goods and services. During this period, provision of usual services and assistance in matters related to procurement at TMU and LGA level continued Since each contract line involves a series of procurement actions, the status for each contract is provided in the following section below Implementation Status 3.2.2 Management of contracts for supplies and services Coordination of management of contracts for supplies and services continued including preparing call off orders as required, recommending inspection committees. All aimed at making sure that goods and services for office operation are acquired timely and in adherence to contract requirements. 3.2.3 Consultancy services to Conduct Citizen Report (CRC) design and implementation in TASAF supported LGAs/Islands During the quarter, the consultant conducted a series of� dissemination meetings to the sectors involved and stakeholders� workshop to present findings and consult on reforms. The execution of the assignment was concluded at the end of August, 2011. Final payment was done and contract closed. 3.2.4 PWP Impact Evaluation A No Objection for SSS justification is still under consideration by IDA. 3.2.5 Construction of LAN in the new rented office No Objection was granted by IDA and contract signed early Septembers 2011. LAN construction work is about to be completed. 3.2.6 Impact Assessment of SP and Capacity Enhancement (Training and COMSIP) No objection was granted by IDA early July, 2011 to issue RFP to short listed consultants and consultants were issued RFP in the mid of the same month. A pre-proposal meeting was scheduled early August, however could not be held as none of consultants attended the

Page 42: First Quarter Implementation Progress Reportinteractions.eldis.org/sites/interactions.eldis.org/files/database_sp... · TANZANIA SECOND SOCIAL ACTION FUND First Quarter Implementation

30

scheduled conference. In the course of preparing proposals, some clarifications raised by consultants were responded. Out of four shortlisted consultants sent with RFP, two submitted proposal by the submission deadline. Evaluation of technical proposal is underway and completion has been affected by ongoing TASAF III preparations, as experts responsible for evaluation are also responsible for project preparations. 3.2.7 Upgrade website to have dynamic link and Mapping No Objection for TOR was granted by IDA late August, 2011. Advertisement of request for expression of interest is pending approval of revised cost included in updated Procurement Plan. 3.2.8 Five studies for preparation of TASAF III All assignments have been concluded and contracts closed. 3.2.9 CB CCT Pilot Program Process Evaluation A contract was signed early August 2011, and execution commenced immediately and is on track, so far, two outputs have been submitted. 3.2.10 Security services The execution of contract is ongoing 3.2.11 Furniture Execution is underway; fabrication of furniture is going on. 3.2.12 Procurement of vehicles under OPEC funds Contract was signed and partial delivery done. 3.2.13 Service and Maintenance of Air Conditions and Generator The execution of contract is ongoing. 3.2.14 Disposal of Vehicles Disposal processes are going on. 3.2.15 Procurement of Photocopy Machine under OPEC funds Frequent breakdown of photocopy machine due to ageing of the equipment necessitated replacement so as to smoothen office operations, thus a Photocopy Machine was procured in this quarter. 3.2.16 Technical Audit in TASAF operating areas No Objection for TOR was granted by IDA.

3.2.17 Preparation of Annual Procurement Plan Following training on Procurement Management Information System by the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority done to TASAF procurement staff, drafting of Annual Procurement Plan for financial year 2011/12 was done in the system and draft APP has been shared with IDA. The system is easy to use and Stores database for past information and can be accessed when required, can publish tender opportunities and award directly when users are enabled, but currently tenders are submitted to PPRA. The system analyses performance indicators that facilitate detection of problems and take corrective measures easily, and has capability of producing quarterly reports.

4.0 SAFEGUARDS AND ENVERONMENTAL ASPECTS

4.1 Reporting of Environmental Issues

There has been a positive response from LGAs/VPO-2 on reporting environmental issues in their quarterly progress reports. During the reporting period, a good practice of addressing environmental issues were observed in Musoma District Council, where trees were planted around constructed secondary Schools to preserve environment and provides shades for students. Tree Nursery, where 55,000 trees have been grown, was established by PWP beneficiaries at Chimati Village. These are expected to be distributed to public institutions like Schools and offices for planting around their buildings and selected open areas. Some trees will be sold to individual people in the village and neighbouring villages.

Figure 12: The above picture shows portion of trees Nursery grown by PWP Beneficiaries at Chimati Village in Musoma DC , which was visited by External Auditors

5.0 PROJECT OUTCOMES

Assessment of Achievement of Project Development Objective

As the Project�s Development Objective is to empower communities to improve their access to basic socio-economic services, much has been done to achieve that objective. Communities through the Project support have managed to create assets that have substantially reduced the acute shortage of services in their respective communities and neighboring villages. That also has improved outcomes in respective sectors in terms of number of people with direct access to particular services. The number of people served differs widely given the fact that communities had their priorities. Education In this sector the progress on assets created so far over the baseline enabled 561,145 children to have access to education services. These include classrooms, dormitories/hostels, offices, desks, toilets and others. The prospective number of children will increase when all assets in education sub projects will be completed. Health The progress in implementation of subprojects in the health sector, has enabled 10,727,062 people have access to enhanced health facilities through the assets created by implementing sub projects in that category. This number is inclusive of the baseline in the targeted areas. However, the health services are also used by people in neighboring villages. Water The number of people with access to safe water has reached 1,512,500 for the facilities that have been created through the Project support over the baseline. As such, this has the potential of reducing water-borne diseases in respective areas and increasing productivity as people spend less time in search for water than it used to be. Sanitation The progress in implementation so far, has enabled 879,583 people to have access to sanitation services. These facilities are mainly being created in urban and semi urban areas to improve drainage systems. Economic Infrastructure This sector consists of rural roads, irrigation and markets. On this category, there are 3,235,500 people with access to services over the baseline. Yet, the roads have the highest number of beneficiaries compared to other two. Conclusion The Project is achieving the defined Development Objective by reaching many people through creating and rehabilitating assets to improve social and economic infrastructure.

Similarly, capacity enhancement provides skills to manage and sustain the services in the long run. However, communities will keep on using the services provided and the LGAs provide continuous technical support to them so that they are updated on their skills and technical knowhow. On the other hand, communities show satisfaction on services provided through this kind of support. The CSC conducted in selected communities indicates that 85% of communities that were asked indicated that they were satisfied with the delivery of social services. This goes hand in hand with the improvement of management and accountability of service providers at community level that have improved considerably. The Table 19 and the Graph below illustrate the above facts. Table 23: Basic Services Progress over Baseline

The study4 conducted recently by the consultant on outcomes of PWP and VG support gives a more positive results accruals to the beneficiaries. The report show that PWP support about 90 per cent of the beneficiaries used their income from the sub projects for purchase of food which is in line with the objective of supporting households which are food insecure. Other major expenditures for that income are clothes (73 percent) and education for the children of the beneficiary households (66 percent). The study has revealed that though a few beneficiaries spend the cash income earned from employment in public works on other items, purchase of food has been the priority of most of the PWP beneficiaries. The results from the assessment of VGs indicate that there is no big difference in expenditure pattern with the PWP beneficiaries because the accruals from the Income Generating Activities of the groups are mostly spent on food and education.

This implies that there is need to step up more support on PWP and VGs because these are instruments that directly enable poor households to address their personal needs which indirectly support the capacity of communities to their community needs. The ability to

contribute by individual beneficiary to the community sub projects becomes more enhanced when his income is boosted through cash transfers and income generation.

6.0 IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES Although the project has registered tremendous achievements and the implementation progress is on course towards achieving Project Development Objective (PDO), but it experiences some implementation challenges. These include but not limited to the following:

i. Low number of completion certificates issued compared to completed subprojects as reported by LGAs. This is due to delay in engaging external sector experts to evaluate completed subprojects by LGAs.

ii. Lack of operation funds to LGAs due to failure of Districts and Municipal Directors to contribute funds for monitoring purposes made the supervision of subprojects difficult.

iii. Lack of funds for extending Spot Audits to other LGAs

iv. Lack of funds for Staff training

v. Limited available sector experts at LGAs/Islands and ward level for supervision and monitoring of the large number of subprojects pose difficulties in monitoring and follow-up during implementation for some LGAs.

vi. Some LGAs do not conduct internal audits to TASAF supported activities, consequently, Quarterly Internal Audit reports not issued, as required by signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

vii. Frequent breakdown of HP Compaq Laptops, which seemingly have exceeded

recommended lifespan and inadequate financial resources for replacement.

viii. Non compliance with reporting requirements by Some LGAs. Quarterly

implementation progress reports are not submitted on time, format not followed and

others do not submit reports altogether.

ix. Rising operating and maintenance costs due to aged project vehicles. Frequent

breakdowns also affect provision of technical backstopping services to LGAs.

x. Shortage of staffs at TMU made execution of many activities not timely implemented.

38

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND WAY FORWARD Achievement of Project Development Objective (PDO) depends very much on the extent to which the challenges outlined above are addressed. The following are the planned activities towards addressing the challenges:

i. To remind LGAs/VPO-2 to provide co-financing for supervision and monitoring of TASAF supported activities as per Memorandum of Understanding.

ii. The LGAs should expedite the process of evaluating completed subprojects by external experts and apply for completion certificates.

iii. TMU will continue providing backstopping support services to slow LGAs to reverse the current trends in the areas of completion and justification. A strategy has been developed where TMU will use FOOs in collaborations with Project Officers at TMU to speed up implementation, justification, and completion of Subprojects.

iv. TMU has continued to remind all LGAs to comply with reporting requirement and submission of quarterly progress reports and internal audit reports on time

v. The approval was granted by NSC for disposal of 57 aged vehicles and replaces with new ones.

vi. TMU to look for other sources of funds vii. Recruitment has been done to fill vacant positions; new staff were expected to join in
