In contrast to its relevance and role in advancing the sector development agenda, the Project's implementation has been slow and significant committment and efforts by the implementing agencies and rigorous oversight by the Steering Committee are required to accomplish what the Project has planned to do in the remaining 1.5 years of Project lifetime. The Bank team will closely monitor and support this effort.
