Agriculture Sector Program Phase 3 Program-for-Results are
as follows: Outcome was moderately satisfactory, Bank
performance was moderately satisfactory, and Quality of
monitoring and evaluation was modest. This assessment offers
the following lessons: (i) PforRs should start with
relatively mature and ready-to-implement activities, in this
case including soil erosion control and enhanced
technological innovation, which led to early results in land
husbandry and increased agricultural productivity. (ii)
Incentivizing institutional reforms is an added value of the
PforR instrument that needs to be internalized by all
stakeholders across sectors and at both national and
subnational levels. (iii) Any gaps in capacity and
eligibility to request and execute budgets need to be
addressed first to ensure the effective functioning of the
fund disbursement mechanism—based on DLI achievements—from
the central treasury to the line ministry and affiliated institutions.
