| Alignment/Composition of Finance |
Evaluation |
For the "Urgent Rehabilitation Project," the planned cost was 5,050 million yen, and the actual cost was 4,739 million yen, which was within the plan. It is mainly because of the contingency budget which was not needed. As for the "Urgent Expansion Project," the planned cost was 5,489 million yen, and the actual cost was 4,919 million yen, which was within the plan (90% of the plan). It is because of the saving on the consulting services.
The project completion was delayed because it was the first JICA loan for the Executing Agency and that it took long for the selection and recruitment of the consultants and the detail design. The delay was also caused by the internal procedures of the government of Cambodia such as the budget allocations for the local currency portion. |
