Many of the recommendations from the second Supervision Mission in April 2011 have been acted upon. The project has been moving towards its stated objective. The two key indicators (of improved productive infrastructure and strengthened capacity) are well on track whilst the third one (market linkages and business innovations) is progressing slower due to the longer required time for the new areas of activity to be prepared and rolled out. The project will need more technical assistance, which has recently Public Disclosure Copy come on board, to give it more support to accelerate the pace of implementing market linkages and business innovations. Project investment and disbursement have slightly lagged behind schedule but remain strong and the trend suggests that disbursements will catch up with original plans. As of March 13, 2012, the project has disbursed US$18.9 million (12.7%), following quite closely to the projected pattern. So far, 4200 staff at central, provincial and district levels have been trained on project management. At the same time, 12.400 people at communes and village level have been trained on project implementation and supervision. This is a good achievement to ensure quality capacity for project management and implementation. In terms of investments, there have been 1.174 sub-projects completed or in the process of implementation, across all project components.
