Evaluation |
The project period was shorter than planned (92% of the planned period). According to the Japanese consultant and MINE, during the project period there were some delays in negotiating the price of the site on which the water treatment plant was to be built and in selecting the water intake site that would serve as the water souce, but the contruction overall was completed ahead of schedule. Sustainability of the project was high since no major problems have been observed n the operation and maintenance system. |
