Meanwhile, as large procurement processes for works and goods are progressively being completed, physical implementation of approved sub-projects and related disbursement is also starting to pick up pace, and current disbursement stands at 26%. The supervision strategy will thereafter shift from a focus on the preparation of a solid pipeline of subprojects to ensuring the quality and timeliness of implementation of the Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Report No: ISR6660 infrastructure and technical assistance activities, coupled with strong monitoring and evaluation systems to quantify outputs and impacts at the level of subprojects and the program as a whole. The project mid term review is planned for November 2012 and will be an opportunity to take stock of progress and outcomes, look at broader support of the program to the Govts agriculture sector strategy 2010-2016 and to align future implementation with lessons learned thus far.
