The Project is implemented by the Uganda Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Sports (MoESTS), with the World Bank acting as Supervision Entity on behalf of the GPE. The grant was approved by the GPE Board in August 2013 and the project declared effective on March 24, 2015. At the time of compiling this report, 31 percent of grant proceeds have been disbursed (documented spending represents 8 percent only). Implementation continues to lag on key activities due to delayed project effectiveness and slow implementation progress. The task team in collaboration with development partners continues to provide the necessary technical support to various implementing departments so that the project catches up with the planned activities for the realization of its development objectives.
