CONCLUSION Positives National governments rate is improving on most indicators. WB has highest rating on responsiveness to queries and overall facilitation and support. AAU has highest rating on facilitation and role in workshops and meetings. Areas of improvements AAU could improve on timeliness and adequacy of technical support and timelines of responsiveness to queries WB improved on procurement but this is still lowest WB rating
CONCLUSION Project implementation summary Project implementation risk is lowest. Most ACEs are satisfied with implementation progress. Slow and cumbersome approval process still a risk
