The credit was closed on June 30, 1989, one year behind schedule. The credit was fully disbursed, and the last disbursement was on August 3, 1989. The PCR was jointly prepared by the Agricultural Operations Division of the Southern Africa Department and the FAO/World Bank Cooperative Programme (Preface, Evaluation Summary, Parts I and III), and the Borrower (Part II). Preparation of this PCR -as started during the Bank's final supervision mission of the project in January 1989, followed by a FAO/CP mission in January 1990, and is based, inter alia, on the Staff Apprais- al Report; the Loan, Guarantee, and Project Agreements; supervision reports; correspondence between the Bank and the Borrower; and internal Bank memoranda.  - iii - PROJECT COMPLETIION REPORT TANZANIA FOURTH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT (Credit 1524-TA) EVALUATION SUMMARY Background 1. In the early 1980's, the Government and the Bank initiated an assessment of the disappointing perform.ance of Bank financed agricultur- al projects in Tanzania. Both the Government and the Bank relied heavily on studies carried out by the Project Preparation and Monitoring Bureau (PPMB) and the Marketing Development Bureau (MDB). It was then felt that both agencies, as wel' as the Sectoral Planning Unit, needed additional support to strengther their capacity to desig.x and implement development policies, and produce the objective factual studies neces- sary for further dialogue. 2. In response to this need, the Fourth Technical Assistance project (TA IV) was formulated and it was appraised in October 1983. The project was expected to cost US$ 11.9 million over a three year imple- mentation period. An IDA credit of SDR 9.9 million (US$ 10.0 million) was approved in October 1984 and became effective in April 1985. The project continued previous Bank suppuLL to the same agencies under the National Maize, and Grain Storage and Milling projects, and followed the Third Technical Assistance project, which provided support for other units in the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA). (The first two Technical Assistance projects supported the industrial sector). Objectives 3. TA IV was formulated with the specific objective of strengthening MOA's capacity to provide the analytical foundations to: (i) improve agricultural pricing, (ii) monitor project and parastatal performance in the agricultural sector, and (iii) improve agricultural research. It would assist GOT to design and implement its program to review and revise policies and institutional arrangements in the agricultural sector by extending financing for MDB (the major policy analysis body), PPMB (the financial monitoring institution) and the Sectoral Planning Unit, and to begin to coordinate the fragmented agricultural research system. 4. In order to achieve its objectives, the project would provide long- and short-term technical assistance, long- and short-term fellow- ship training, equipment, and operating expenses. During a Tri-partite Review meeting in May 1987, it was decided to continue under TA IV the financing of some components of a Sectoral Planning Assistance project, which had previously been financed under TA III.  - iv - 5. The Government asked FAO to provide the projec. inputs under a Unilateral !rust Fund (UTF) financing arrangement. For this purpose four individual project documents, one for each component, were agreed upon between GOT and FAO. This followed similar, well known arrange- ments made under previous projects. Implementation Experience 6. The project did not suffer from the initial implementation difficulties that had been experienced by the TA III project, firstly because the project was a follow-up exercise using well-proven institu- tional arrangements, and secondly because the project concept was much simpler. Some delays were encountered, however, regarding the recruit- ment of some of the international consultants and the organization of the fellowships. Yet, these delays did not seriously affect project results. 7. The research component suffered from entirely different implemen- tation difficulties, emanating mainly from the organizational disarray in which agricultural research was at the time of the project (subse- quently addressed under a research rehabilitation project, currently under implementation). Results 8. With the exception of the research component, the project achieved its objectives of strengthening MOA's capacity to provide the analytical foundations to improve agricultural pricing policy and to monitor project and parastatal performance in the agricultural sector. Studies and documents produced by the supported agencies are of high quality and have proved most helpful in preparing new policy directions for Tanzania and the subsequent Agricultural Adjustment Program. Measuring the progress achieved is difficult, however, due to the very nature of the assistance provided, and to the poor definition of objectives and outputs in the project documents. 9. By agreeing to finance TA IV, the International Development Association contributed to the long-term strengthening of key institu- tions in the agricultural sector. This continuity in assistance has been one of the most important reasons for the success achieved by the Bank-assisted Technical Assistance program. 10. Although the research component failed to achieve its main objective of improving research-extension linkages, some tangible results can be reported in the preparation of crop research reviews and farming systems analysis. Sustainability 11. Most of the progress achieved may be considered sustainable as the project concentrated more on longer-term institution building goals rather than on immediate outputs from technical assistance. Long-term  v sustainability will depend, however, on whether: (1) the staff that so far has been trained will continue to work in a policy advisory role; (2) GOT will maintain an environment conducive to carrying out such a role; and (3) GOT will ensure the provision of adequate operating expenses and facilities to the institutions involved. Past performance has been encouraging. Most staff trained during the 1980s, continue w3rkiai,7 in their institutions, or were transferred or pror,oted to other pol4cy decision positions in Government. 12. The liberalization of the economy in Tanzania currently under way has demanded shifts in the types of policy advice required by Govern- ment. This development necessitated supplementary technical assistance, which is being provided under the Agricultural Adjustment Program, currently under implementation (Credit 2116-TA). Findings and Lessons Learned 13. Although not all project components were successfully implemented, overall the project results were satisfactory. The following lessons may be learned from the implementation of TA IV: (a) True institution building and manpowez development requires long-term assistance and continuity in its implementation; (b) Government's commitment, especially regarding counterpart staffing, both in terms of overall levels and continuity, is essential to institution building; (c) Overseas fellowship G ;ree training requires, in most cases, to be followed up by a substantial period of practical on- the-job training; (d) Good working conditions and overseas training made it attractive for national staff to remain in the supported agencies, and (e) Technical assistance and institution building, by their nature, do not lend themselves easily to quantification of project objectives and outputs. Yet, an effort should be made in the appraisal of such projects to ensure the setting of clear and realistic objectives that are attainable within the proposed implementation period.  PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT TANZANIA FOURTH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT (Credit 1524-TA) PART I: PROJECT REVIEW FROM BANK'S PERSPECTIVE 1. Proiect Identity Name Fourth Technical Assistance Project Credit Number 1524 - TA RVP Unit AF6AG Country : Tanzania Sector Agriculture 2. Background 2.1 In 1980, the World Bank Group (WB) virtually stopped project lending for agriculture, following the disappointing performance of WB financed projects in Tanzania. At the same time, the WB and the Government of Tanzania (GOT) initiated an assessment of the causes of the increasingly poor performance of the agricultural sector. During the early 1980s this reassessment culminated in the Bank's "Tanzania Agricultural Sector Report" and the Government's White Paper on "Agricultural Policy in Tanzania". 2.2 During the preparation of the above mentioned analyses and the subsequent intensive discussions, both the WB and GOT had relied heavily on studies carried out by two agencies within the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), the Marketing Development Bureau (MDB); and the Project Preparation and Monitoring Bureau (PPMB). Both Bureaus had previously been supported by the Bank Group and had received technical assistance from FAO. 1/ This technical assistance support had had considerable success as could be assessed by the improvement, both in quantity and quality, of work undertaken by MDB and PPMB as well as by the adoption of a number of policy initiatives stimulated by studies conducted by both institutions. Therefore, it was felt that GOT needed 1/ This assistance had been organized through three FAO-executed projects: (i) UTF/URT/057 "Strengthening of MDB"; (ii) UTF/URT/061 "Strengthening of PPMB"; and (iii) UTF/URT/064 "Strengthening of Sectoral Planning". All three projects had been financed from Technical Assistance III (Cr. 1206 TA) funds. Before that, PPMB and MDB had been supported by FAO-executed technical assistance projects financed under the National Maize -Project (Cr. 606 TA) and Grain Storage and Milling Project (Cr. 1015 TA).  - 2- continued support to sustain in depth economic and policy analytical work necessary to: (i) develop a realistic agricultural recovery strategy, and (ii) support the continued policy dialogue between the Bank and GOT, as this dialogue had led to substantial agreement between the Bank and GOT on the nature and the seriousness of the problems in the agricultural sector. The need for substantial external technical assistance in support of agricultural research in order not to lose essential research data while the sector was being reorganized, had alread- been identified in this context. 2.3 Subsequently, the Fourth Technical Assistance project (TA IV) 2/ was formulated. GOT prepared the MDB and PPMB components and, with assistance of the Bank, the research component. An appraisal missien visited Tanzania in October 1983 and a brief post-appraisal mission followed in February 1984. The project was expected to cost US$11.9 million over a three year implementation period. In support of this, en IDA credit of SDR 9.9 mi'lion (then equivalent to US$ 10.0 million) was approved in October 1984 (President's Report "o. F-3731-TA of August 16, 1984). TA IV became effective in April 1985. 3. Project Objectives and Description 3.1 Project Obiectives: TA IV was formulated with the specific objective of strengthening MOA's capacity to provide the analytical foundations (i) to improve agricultural pricing policy, (ii) to mcnitor project and parastatal performance in the agricultural sector, and (iii) to improve agricultural research. It would assist GOT to design and implement its program to review and r3vise policies and institutional arrangements in the agricultural sector by extending fina)icing for MDB (the major policy analysis body) and PPMB (the major financial monitoring institution), and to begin to coordinate the fragmented agricultural research system. 3.2 Project Description: Specific components of the project were: (i) Assistance to the MDB: (a) five advisors for long term consultancies of thirty staff months each, and short term consultancies totaling seven staff months; (b) ten staff years of overseas fellowship training; 2/ Of the previous three Bank-assisted TA projects, the first two had been implemented by the Tanzania Investment Bank and were not geared to the agricultural sector. The Third project (Cr. 1206- TA) was a line of credit to finance training and specific Technical Assistance for a whole range of institutions in the agricultural sector with the objective of eliminating specific bottlenecks arising from the shortage of specialized staff in the sector. See the PCR of TA III, dated December 2', 1989.  -3- (c) vehicles and equipment; and (d) support staff and operating assistance. (ii) Assistance to the PPMB: (a) Eleven advisors for long term consultancies totalling 252 staff months, and short term consultaticies for a total of seven staff months; (b) nine staff years of overseas training and 50 staff months of local training; (c) vehicles and equipment; (d) support staff and operating assistance; and (e) special studies on: (1) the effectiveness of Technical Assistance and the use of skilled agricultural manpower, and (2) the design of a strategy for training and for infrastructure development at the Sokoine University of Agriculture. (iii) Assistance to the Department of Research: (a) Five long term advisors for 30 staff months each; (b) vehicles and equipment; and (c) support staff and operating assistance. (iv) Under the TA III project, assistance to the Sectoral Planning Unit, in the Planning Division, had been provided. During the TA IV Tri-partite Review meeting of May 1987, the Government, FAO and IDA decided to continue under TA IV for a short, fixed term the financing of a few long term consultants which had previously been financed tinder TA III. This second, much more limited, phase started in January 1988. 3/ 3.3 The technical assistance to be provided under TA IV was executed by FAO under Unilateral 'rust Fund (UTF) financing arrangements. For this purpose, the following four FAO/GOT project documents, one for each component, were agreed upon between GOT and FAO. 3/ The previous component had also been implemented by FAO as UTF/URT/064 and was the main component of the TA III project. The follow-up phase also included a small component financing accountancy assistance to the Tanzania Sisal Authority.  -4- FAO Priect title FAO proiect code 1.

Project Design and Organization 4.1 The project objectives and procedures were clearly understood by all parties. This was mainly due to the fact that the PPMB, MDB and SP components were follow-up activities to ongoing ones, for which the institutional arrangements, as well as local and some international staff, were already in place. These institutions had furthermore been responsible for the design of the individual components. The same was true for the implementing agency, FAO, for whom the various components were part of their ongoing Technical Assistance program in the sector, and for the Bank, which had already funded similar activities under previous projects. 4.2 Perhaps as a result of this familiarity, little attempt was made to explicitly and comprehensively list the project's objectives nor to quantify the expected outputs. This is well illustrated by the statement of objectives of the FAO project documient on SP in which the objectives are vaguely formulated as: "to continue and strengthen the delivery of technical assistance to MOA in the field of agricultural and livestock sector planning". This statement obviously did not provide adequate guidance to MOA and project staff about the project's objectives or likely project activities, nor does it allow for an ex- post evaluation of the component's performance. 4.3 The origin and justificaticn of the crop research component remain unclear. Apparently, the institutional fragmentation of agricultural research 4/ did not allow for a clear identification of its main constraints. Furthermore, the project had been prepared within MOA but it was to be implemented by the Tanzania Agricultural Research 4/ At the time, agricultural research was organized in at least 4 parastatals besides MOA. These were merged into a single MOA Department under the National Agricultural and Livestock Research Rehabilitation Project, currently under implementation (Cr. 1970- TA).  Organization (TARO), which had hardly been involved in its preparation. Consequently, the objectives of the project remained poorly defined ("to strengthen linkages between research and extension") and were not considered adequate by those responsible for its implementation. As a result, the foreseen technical assistance proved to be insufficient to overcome the institutional constraints. 5. Project Implementation 5.1 The project did not suffer from the same initial implementation difficulties that had been experienced by the previous Technical Assistance III project. Firstly, because the project was similar to the previous technical assistance operations, using established and well- proven institutional arrangements. Secondly, because the project concept was simpler, concentrating technical assistance efforts on only t'%ree agencies. all based in Dar es Salaam and under the same MOA Department. 5.2 Some delays in implementation were encountered, however, with regard to the recruitment of international consultants and to the organization of fellowships. FAO found it difficult at times to identify suitably qualified professionals. In some instances, these delays were quite substantial. In other instances, delays went parallel to slower-than-expected recruitment of counterpart staff, so that these delays were actually beneficial to project implementation as they allowed Technical Assistance staff to be available when the newly trained staff returned from their fellowship training and required on- the-job training. Delays in recruitment of technical assistance staff was more serious in those cases where they had to be involved in filling expertise gaps such as in the Budget and Finance Unit of PPMB. In those cases recruitment delays resulted in under-performance of the institution during the waiting period. 5.3 The research component suffered from entirely different implementation difficulties, emanating mainly from the organizational disarray in which agricultural research found itself at the time of the start of the project. It soon became apparent that there was little research that could not already be made available in an acceptable form to the extension service, but that due to the organizational constraints these were not fully utilized. As a result, the main objective of this component was reformulated and the notion of a comprehensive program of on-farm field trials/demonstration using hitherto "unused' research was abandoned. The project objectives statements were not changed; instead, revised Terms of Reference were prepared in June 1987. 5.4 It had already been agreed during TA III to construct office space for the Planning Division of MOA (i.e. PPMB, MDB, and SP) *o overcome the poor working conditions faced by the agencies and to allow them to benefit from common facilities such as data bases and communication facilities. Funds totalling around US$ 1 million were available from UNDP sources. Although all parties agreed at the Tri-partite Review meeting in 1987 to proceed with the construction of th0 new facilities, no further actioni was ever taken by the Government.  -6- 6. Proiect Results 6.1 General. With exception of the research component, the project achieved its objectives of strengthening MOA's capacity to provide the analytical foundations to improve agricultural pricing policy and to monitor project and parastatal performance in the agricultural sector. Measuring the progress achieved is rendered difficult, however, because of the rather vague description of project objectives and output in the Presi.dent's Report (Para 4.2). 6.2 When evaluating project impact, TA IV should not be considered in isolation, but as part of the ongoing WB/FAO support program to the institutions involved. Apart from the essential recuisite of a generally positive policy and institutional environment, basically three factors can be identified as having had a major impact on achieving the overall loncer-term objectives of increasing the institutions' capacity to carry out their respective mandates: (1) the duration of the total assistance program; (2) the level of counterpart staffing; and (3) national staff working conditions. 6.3 Regarding the first point, there is a clear association between the duration of technical assistance program and the progress achieved in each of the institutions concerned. For example, MDB was established in the early 1970s and has received continuous assistance since then. Therefore, MDB had the opportunity to attract a full contingent of staff and send them on advanced fellowship training followed by up to five years on-the-job training and supervision by technical assistance staff. The result is that most tasks are presently carried out under the full responsibility of local staff 5/. The Sectoral Planning unit, in contrast, had not received assistance under the previous projects and thus was, in this respect, only in the initial phase, with few staff having received adequate overseas training. 6.4 Secondly, there also is a clear association between the level of deployment of national (counterpart) staff and progress achieved. Those inst.ftutions where GOT had difficulties in employing capable staff and retaining them have made least progress. Thirdly, the general working conditions of government staff, as reflected in salary levels, office accommodation and career development prospects, deteriorated substantially during the 1980s. These developments rendered the employment and retention of staff difficult, especially in those areas where there is competition from the private sector, such as accountants, economists and project analysts. The better working conditions for national staff in the agencies supported by externally funded projects (transport, office supplies, etc.), in addition to the overseas fellowship program, made staying in the MDB, PPMB and SP attractive to staff and contributed to the generally positive performance of counterpart staff and the low level of staff rotation. This, in turn, 5/ The number of expatriate staff has been reduced from 7 in 1984 to 2 in 1989.  -7- allowed a longer training of staff and more sustainable institution building. 6.5 Results per Institution. During the fifth phase of its Technical Assistance support, MDB continued to play an important role in supporting MOA by providing agricultural policy and pricing analyses. The Price Review Unit undertook price analyses on a regular basis with minimal technical assistance input. The Market Information Unit carried out a series of costs of production surveys based on farming systems and undertook training programs for national staff, including regional workshops on agricultural marketing. The quality of the market information has recently been improved by the introduction of a radio market information service with weekly nationwide broadcastings. The Operational Efficiency Unit has had a major input into the Government Task Force examining improvements to export marketing efficiency. The Livestock Section has carried out regular and ad hoc price reviews (monthly and weekly livestock market information) and sector reviews. MDB has also been involved in the major policy reforms implemented recently in the agricultural sector. Its participation was particularly active in the preparation of the 1987 Agricultural Sector Review prepared by FAO and the Bank, and of the WB-supported Economic Recovery Program and Agricultural Adjustment Program. MDB staff is presently participating in a task force on Food Distribution Systems which should form the basis for new policy initiatives. 6.6 The third phase of its technical assistance support enabled PPMB to continue to increase its capacity to carry out its mandate. Both in terms of output and quality, noticeable progress was made by the Project Preparation Unit (PPU) and the Project Monitoring Unit (PMU). In the Budget and Finance Unit (BFU), the most recently created unit, less progress was made, mainly due to slow recruitment of local staff. During the project implementation period, PPU prepared 44 project feasibility studies and reviewed 201 projects prepared by other institu- tions. 6/ PPMB cooperated with other institutions, such as MDB and SP, in the preparation of 10 agricultural development programs. 7/ The quality of the project preparation and review activities has improved, while the number of international staff participating in these activi- ties decreased. 6/ Major projects prepared include the 'Coconut Coir project; Cassava Meal Bug Control project; Southern Highlands Smallholder Wheat project, twe livestock projects; and the Smallholder Fire-cured Tobacco Projection Project. PPU staff participated in the prepa- ration of the IDA-financed Agricultural Extension Rehabilitation project, Cashewnut Improvement project and Coconut Development project (The latter two are presently being financed as the Tree Crops Development project). 7/ Amongst others: the Coffee Expansion Program; Sisal Industry Development program, and the Cotton Development Program. PPMB staff also participated in the preparation of the Livestock Development Program.  -8- 6.7 The progress achieved is even more impressive in the PMU. The unit presently has a full contingent of trained and experienced staff capable to carry out its mandate with minimal technical assistance. The Unit's work centers on fiscal and financial monitoring of development projects in the government budget (123 in 1989/90 with a total budget of TSh 20,822 million of which 92Z externally financed). In addition, the Unit has carried out a number of special assignments and policy reviews in which technical assistance support has been more pronounced. 6.8 Parastatal monitoring activities carried out by BFU have centered on analyzing financial returns of parastatal companies. These monitor- ing activities have greatly assisted GOT and the parastatals involved in improving their management and reducing their cost. The quality of accounting in most parastatals has improved during the period under review 8/. The Unit has also been responsible for preparing a number of important policy papers and in-depth reviews of certain industries. Most of the work was, however, carried out by technical assistance staff; due to the slow recruitment of local staff only limited progress could be made towards institution building. 6.9 The two studies were undertaken by independent locally recruited consultants under overall PPMB management - the Tanzania High Level Agricultural Manpower Study and the Study of the Sokoine Infrastructural Requirements. 9/ Both studies were undertaken with considerable delays and were still under review at the time of PCR preparation. Their quality seems appropriate, but the impact of the studies was still unclear. PPMB carried this work without expatriate technical assistance personnel. 6.10 Support to SP under the TA IV project did not benefit from the longer-running support to MDB and PPMB. The second phase of technical assistance support for SP, financed under TA IV, started only in January 1988 and was mainly limited to continuing the overseas training program 8/ Also assisted by specific accountancy assistance provided to parastatals under a number of Bank-assisted projects. 9/ The Agricultural Manpower Study assessed the historical supply and deployment of graduates employed in the agricultural sector and the utilization of technical assistance personnel since 1961. The study reviewed the manpower requirements up to the year 2000 and identified a continued shortage of graduate manpower in the sector due to limited capacity of the Agricultural University. A contin- ued use of technical assistance personnel would therefore be required. A program of in-service training was also identified. The Sokoine University Infrastructural Requirements Study recom- mends to expand the capacity of the agricultural university to fulfill the needs of the sector and proposes an investment program to undertake the expanded program. Expatriate consultants helped the local consultants in the Sokoine Study (See part II). For abstracts of the two studies see draft Terminal Report of UTF/ URT/078, Rome 1989.  and some technical assistance in the field of livestock economics. 10/ Since April 1989, only a livestock economist was employed as a long-term technical assistance staff. This econo.nist was responsible for the main output of the second phase of the project: the preparation of a medium-term Livestock Development Program. However, the essential task of providing on-the job-training for SP staff returning from overseas fellowship training could not adequately be carried out by a single technical assistance staff. Yet, as a result of the overseas training program, distinctive progress was made towards the strength- ening of the SP during the two consecutive phases of the project. 6.11 Although the agricultural research component failed to achieve its main objective (i.e. improvement of research-extension linkages), some tangible results can be observed in specific topics. Several research reviews (tobacco, coffee, maize, sorghum/millet, grain legumes) were prepared and farming system analysis undertaken. These activities contributed to the collection of data and information that had previous- ly been scattered among various institutions. Unfortunately, few practical recommendations to farmers resulted from this work, mainly because of the lack of communication between the various institutions. One major output of the research component was the contribution of one zonal agronomist to the improvement of the vegetative propagation of cashew, which was the subject of a pilot phase under the IDA-assisted cashew rehabilitation project. This work should play an important role in establishing a network of cashew propagation centers under the next phase of the project, presently under implementation. 7. Proiect Sustainability and Follow-up 7.1 A lot of the progress achieved may be considered sustainable. The project correctly concentrated more on long-term institution building than on immediate outputs. Long-term sustainability will however depend on whether (1) the staff that so far has been trained will continue to work in a policy advisory capacity; (2) GOT will maintain an environment conducive to carrying out such a role; and (3) GOT will ensure the provision of adequate operating expenses and facilities to the institu- tions involved. Regarding the first aspect, past performance has been encouraging. Most staff trained during the 1980s were retained by their institutions, and the majority of those not retained by them were transferred or promoted to policy-making positions in Government and parastatal companies. Regarding the policy environment, in recent years there has been a marked improvement over the already positive trend that could be detected from the early 1980s onwards. Given budget limita- tions, however, the provision of adequate facilities and operating expenses will continue to remain a constraint if further external assistance is not secured. 10/ In addition, short-term technical assistance was foreseen for TCMB's cotton solvent extraction plant and agricultural statis- tics.  - 10 - 7.2 Specific follow-up requirements differ per institution, depending mostly on the length of time they have benefitted from external support. MDB has had the longest assistance and follow-up would therefore be limited; yet, future assistance will depend to a large extent on the institutional changes and political reforms to be introduced by the Goverrment and the new responsibilities those would entail for MDB. I the longer term, policy decisions leading to market deregulation should reduce MDB's central role in formulating agricultural price levels for Government and change its mandate to assisting MOA in defining new policy in relation to food marketing, export marketing and market information under these new conditions. 7.3 PPMB follow-up requirement will be different for each Unit. Most staff of the Monitoring Unit have been fully trained, and would at most require additional on-the-job assistance. Due to late and more unbal- anced staff allocation, the Project Preparation Unit would require more technical assistance and some fellowship training. It may be expected that this assistance will be largely phased out over a two to three year period. Due to the difficulties in recruiting staff with satisfactory professional background, a full-scale staff training program is still required to continue to carry out the Budget and Finance Unit's mandate and to follow-up on-the-job training. The Sectoral Planning unit will continue to need technical assistance as well as formal and on-the-job training program for a period of at least five years. Agricultural Research is presently being supported by two World Bank projects 11/. 8. Bank Performance 8.1 By agreeing to finance TA IV, the Bank contributed to the long- term strengthening of key institutions in the agricultural sector. The responsibility for providing continuity in the technical assistance and fellowship assistance, essential for a long-term institution building, was fully assumed by the Bank. To cater for additional responsibilities vested by the Government on the MDB, PPMB and SP under the Economic and Social Action program, and to help all three units to consolidate their development, further assistance is being provided under the Agricultural Adjustment Program, currently under implementation. This long-term continuity in assistance has been one of the most important reasons for the quite significant results that have been achieved by the Bank- assisted Technical Assistance program. 8.2 Generally speaking, the WB has been adequately flexible in supporting the implementation of the project. For example, during implementation of TA III it had already been agreed to allow FAO accounting and purchasing procedures to be used for the project instead of the standard Bank procedures, a decision reiterated under TA IV. Another example is the changes in the terms of reference's for the research component once it became obvious that the institutional 11/ The National Agricultural and Livestock Research Rehabilitation Project, and the Tree Crops Development Project (Credits 1970-TA and 2050-TA, respectively).  constraints would not allow the original project objectives to be attained; further assistance was organized under a separate project. The flexible attitude regarding requests for extension on the Bank's side, and regarding project implementation on FAO's side, ensured good coordination between the various agencies. 8.3 Eight supervision missions were undertaken during the project implementation period. Most of the missions were carried out by a single bank staff and were usually combined with other duties. As the project was generally considered to be relatively problem free and under the direct management of FAO, supervision missions were not as frequent as otherwise would have been the case. This did not negatively affect project implementation (See also para 10.3). 8.4 The following lessons may be learned from the implementation of TA IV: (a) Institution building and manpower development requires long- term assistance and continuity in its implementation; (b) Government's commitment especially regarding counterpart staffing, both in terms of overall levels and continuity, is essential to institution building; (c) Overseas fellowship degree training requires, in most cases, to be followed up by a period of practical on-the-job train- ing; (d) Good working conditions and overseas training made attrac- tive for national staff to remain in the supported agencies; and (e) Technical assistance and institution building, by their nature, do not lead themselves easily to quantification of project objectives and outputs. Yet, an effort should be made in the appraisal of such projects to ensure the setting of clear and realistic objectives that are attainable within the proposed implementation period. 9. Borrower Performance 9.1 The project was implemented during a period of serious economic difficulties and a general searching for new economic policy directions. This placed great demands on the analytical skills of the institutions assisted by the project. The results achieved in terms of providing government with background studies and other policy support has there- fore been all the more impressive. GOT solicited the preparation of this information and background studiec, and clearly used them in the formulation of agricultural policy. 9.2 GOT has significantly contributed to the functioning of the institutions by providing staff, office space and operational expenses. The difficulties encountered in attracting qualified staff in PPMB have  - 12 - been attributable more to a general deterioration of working conditions in government service and general lack of qualified staff in the required disciplines than on a lack of GOT commitment to the project. On the other hand, GOT will have to assume a larget share of operational and replacement costs in view of the diminishing external support to the agencies. 9.3 Office space for all three supported agencies is barely adequate and of generally poor quality. The Government, however, did not follow- up on the construction of office facilities for them even though funding was available. 10. Project Relationship and Consulting Services 10.1 TA IV stood in the middle of the continuing dialogue of the WB and GOT on agricultural policy. This sometimes led to stress in Bank-GOT relations. The basic commitment of the Bank to longer-term institution building in the agricultural sector, however, remains strong. Further, the frequent contacts between GOT staff employed in the three agencies and Bank staff proved beneficial, not only to the implementation of TA IV but for the Bank program as a whole. 10.2 FAO-GOT relationship was particularly good in implementing the PPMB, MDB and SP components, mostly due to the involvement of FAO staff in previous phases of the various components. FAO technical backstopp- ing was particularly effective with regard to the MDB and the Project Preparation and Monitoring units of PPMB. Technical backstopping was less effective for the BFU of PPMB, mostly due to their highly technical accounting role. 10.3 The project design envisaged frequent dialogue on project imple- mentation in the form of annual tri-partite reviews. Such reviews were organized up to 1987, but smooth project implementation thereafter made additional reviews unnecessary. 11. Project Documentation & Data 11.1 The Development Credit Agreement and the President's Report were straightforward and focussed on the right issues, even though they did not clearly identify project goals. FAO project documents were more detailed but also often lacked clearly focussed project objectives. Dartly due to this shortcoming in the basic project documents, supervi- sion reports rarely attempted to assess project results in those terms. At the time of PCR preparation only one agency (PPMB) had prepared a Terminal Report; MDB and SP were expected to do so later on.  - 13 - PART II: PROJECT REVIEW FROM BORROWER'S PERSPECTIVE a. General The Government (except where it is indicated below) is in general agreement with the views expressed by the World Bank in Part I. B. Project Formulation As pointed out by world Bank, with the exception of the research component, the project was clearly understood by all parties as PPMB, MDB and SP components were a continuation of activities for which the institutional arrangements and staff were already in place and these institutions were responsible for the project design. The institutional building objectives are well known. The FAO/GOT Plan of Operation clearly maps out the level of inputs (personnel, equipment, consumables, training and administrative support) and outputs in terms of staff to be trained, projects/plans/programmes to be followed up/formulated etc. The Plan of Operations is continuously reviewed and revised according to prevailing conditions and six monthly reports are issued to gauge progress of project components. C. Snecial Studios by PPM1 While the Tanzania High-Level Agricultural Man-Power Study was done using only local consultants, the Study of the Sokoine Infrastructural Requirements was completed using both local and expatriate consultants (Refer to para 6.9 of Part I) D. Borrowers Performance Refer to para 9.2 Government has encountered problems in recruiting professional Accountants for PPMB, and not as generally depicted (in the para) that this was a general problem for all categories of staff.
