Project Purpose

The purpose of the Regional Development Support Project (RDS) wasto assist the Regional Office for Central America Programs(ROCAP) and the Central American private sector design alternativeprivate sector-led development strategies and programs in energyhousing health education the promotion of democratic values and women in development The RDS Project was written very broadlycovering several program areas to allow maximum flexibility in itsimplementation in order for ROCAP to respond to both the rapidlychanging political and economic conditions in Central America and to changing budget realities in ROCAPo

Purpose of Evaluation and Methodology Used

RDS began in September 1990 as a 5 year $25 million Project underthe Central American ROCAP Mission The Project was amended inAugust 1992 to support ROCAPs Program Objectives (1992-1998) andAction Plan (1992-1994) As a result RDS is now a more tightlyfocused project than the original project

The purpose of this evaluation is to review the activitiesimplemented under the Project pre-amendment The evaluation wasconducted during October 1992 by a consultant through a reviewof project documents files and reports and through personalinterviews with pertinent ROCAP Regional Housing and UrbanDevelopment Office (RHUDO) and AID personnel

Findings

The Project was designed to achieve its purpose through activitiesin six component areas Energy and Environment Health andNutrition Education and Training Shelter and Urban DevelopmentWomen in Development (WID) and Project Design and Support (thelatter serving in a supportive role to the other five) It isassumed that efforts in the promotion of democratic values were tobe inherent in the process of conducting activities in each of theabove components although this was not clearly outlined in theproject documents The activities conducted included those related to Policy Development and InformationReform GatheringDissemination Skills Development and Management

The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars conducted RegionalSeminars conducted Persons with Improved Skills and PolicyReforms Initiated The other 2 categories Policy Option Studiesand Publications had minimal output This may have been the resultof a cutback of planned personnel in two component areas (WID andEducation and Training) theand resultant limits on activitiesconducted within these components It must also be noted that thisevaluation occurs not at the 5 year point but 23 months into theproject work thus ahead of schedule for expecting full completionof outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following

RHUDO laid the groundwork for a major program effort in theregion in municipal development Municipal assessmentsstudies development of municipal indicators especially asrelated to gender issues policy fora and seminars and thedesign of a new project Local Government Regional OutreachStrategy (LOGROS) were conducted

-Technical assistance was provided for 5 ROCAP ProjectsEnergy and 3 in HealthNutrition 2 in The RDS funded both theEnergy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to manage

these projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three private regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted These activities have included privateinstitutions of higher education women business leaders aregional nutrition institute and representatives from privateand public energy sectors

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems were initiated but not completed underthis Project (Women Business Leaders and PrivateUniversities) They should be given consideration indesign and development of the

the Regional InformationClearinghouse (a major component of the Amendment) or haveunprogrammed RDS funds directed towards their completion

2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed

3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessary the remainingunprogrammed funds could be reprogrammed for the new purposes of the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than the Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants project status andaccomplishments within component areas for this evaluationperiod The files should be updated with pertinent reports Animproved system of reporting should be considered for theAmendment if this has not already been done

Lessons Learned

1 The Project Paper for the RDS Project contained manyinconsistencies and lacked clarity A careful review ofProject Papers should be made before they are put into finalform to insure that goals purposes implementation plans andactivities budgets etc are consistent throughout thedocument and accurately reflect appropriate authorizations

2 Broadly written goals and purpose statements are verydifficult to measure results against and may water down trueaccomplishments towards reaching goals

3 RDS and the amended RDS both fund advisors to manage otherROCAP Projects The accomplishments and outputs of theprojects which these advisors manage should somehow bereported as indirect accomplishments of RDS Some type ofsystem of reporting the status and outputs of these projectsshould be considered

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

Design and coordinate a more thorough and systematicapproach to the process of surveying education and trainingneeds shy both in the formal academic system through graduate

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

Project Purpose

The purpose of the Regional Development Support Project (RDS) wasto assist the Regional Office for Central America Programs(ROCAP) and the Central American private sector design alternativeprivate sector-led development strategies and programs in energyhousing health education the promotion of democratic values and women in development The RDS Project was written very broadlycovering several program areas to allow maximum flexibility in itsimplementation in order for ROCAP to respond to both the rapidlychanging political and economic conditions in Central America and to changing budget realities in ROCAPo

Purpose of Evaluation and Methodology Used

RDS began in September 1990 as a 5 year $25 million Project underthe Central American ROCAP Mission The Project was amended inAugust 1992 to support ROCAPs Program Objectives (1992-1998) andAction Plan (1992-1994) As a result RDS is now a more tightlyfocused project than the original project

The purpose of this evaluation is to review the activitiesimplemented under the Project pre-amendment The evaluation wasconducted during October 1992 by a consultant through a reviewof project documents files and reports and through personalinterviews with pertinent ROCAP Regional Housing and UrbanDevelopment Office (RHUDO) and AID personnel

Findings

The Project was designed to achieve its purpose through activitiesin six component areas Energy and Environment Health andNutrition Education and Training Shelter and Urban DevelopmentWomen in Development (WID) and Project Design and Support (thelatter serving in a supportive role to the other five) It isassumed that efforts in the promotion of democratic values were tobe inherent in the process of conducting activities in each of theabove components although this was not clearly outlined in theproject documents The activities conducted included those related to Policy Development and InformationReform GatheringDissemination Skills Development and Management

and Training and

Technical Assistance

The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars conducted RegionalSeminars conducted Persons with Improved Skills and PolicyReforms Initiated The other 2 categories Policy Option Studiesand Publications had minimal output This may have been the resultof a cutback of planned personnel in two component areas (WID andEducation and Training) theand resultant limits on activitiesconducted within these components It must also be noted that thisevaluation occurs not at the 5 year point but 23 months into theproject work thus ahead of schedule for expecting full completionof outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following

RHUDO laid the groundwork for a major program effort in theregion in municipal development Municipal assessmentsstudies development of municipal indicators especially asrelated to gender issues policy fora and seminars and thedesign of a new project Local Government Regional OutreachStrategy (LOGROS) were conducted

-Technical assistance was provided for 5 ROCAP ProjectsEnergy and 3 in HealthNutrition 2 in The RDS funded both theEnergy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to manage

these projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three private regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted These activities have included privateinstitutions of higher education women business leaders aregional nutrition institute and representatives from privateand public energy sectors

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems were initiated but not completed underthis Project (Women Business Leaders and PrivateUniversities) They should be given consideration indesign and development of the

the Regional InformationClearinghouse (a major component of the Amendment) or haveunprogrammed RDS funds directed towards their completion

2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed

3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessary the remainingunprogrammed funds could be reprogrammed for the new purposes of the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than the Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants project status andaccomplishments within component areas for this evaluationperiod The files should be updated with pertinent reports Animproved system of reporting should be considered for theAmendment if this has not already been done

Lessons Learned

1 The Project Paper for the RDS Project contained manyinconsistencies and lacked clarity A careful review ofProject Papers should be made before they are put into finalform to insure that goals purposes implementation plans andactivities budgets etc are consistent throughout thedocument and accurately reflect appropriate authorizations

2 Broadly written goals and purpose statements are verydifficult to measure results against and may water down trueaccomplishments towards reaching goals

3 RDS and the amended RDS both fund advisors to manage otherROCAP Projects The accomplishments and outputs of theprojects which these advisors manage should somehow bereported as indirect accomplishments of RDS Some type ofsystem of reporting the status and outputs of these projectsshould be considered

This may have been the result of a cutback ofin two component areas (WID and Education andTraining) and the resultant limits on activities within thesecomponents It must also be noted that this evaluation occurs notat the 5 year point but 23 months into the project work thusahead of schedule for expecting full completion of outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following ORHUDO had the opportunity to pursue laying the groundworkfor a major program effort in the region in municipaldevelopment as a result of funding through RDS Assessmentsstudies development of indicators policy fora and seminarsand design of a new project (LOGROS) were conducted

eROCAP Projects in Energy and HealthNutrition for whichtechnical assistance is being provided under the RDS Projecthave moved torward Two Projects the Los Alamos Project and-the Oral Rehydration Project reached their PACD Two otherProjects the Central American Rural Electrification SupportProject (CARES) and the Technical Support for Food AssistanceProject are still being implemented One Project theInstitutional Strengthening Project - INCAP has beendesigned and is in the implementation phase RDS funded boththe Energy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to managethese projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted

The RDS Project was written very broadly covering several programareas to allow maximum flexibility in its implementation to enableROCAP to respond to both the rapidly changing political andeconomic conditions in Central America and to changing budgetrealities in ROCAP It did have the ability to respond to changesand has been significantly amended to reflect those changes Inspite of its broadly defined focus and ambitious goals the Projecttook some critical steps in laying the groundwork for the futurework of ROCAP

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

1 Hire a Regional Health and Nutrition (HN) Advisor asPASA from USDA a

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

Reporting Status

RHUDOCA was responsible for its own reporting on this componentRHUDO has submitted reports to ROCAP for the SARs Outstanding Items

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

The purpose of the Regional Development Support Project (RDS) wasto assist the Regional Office for Central America Programs(ROCAP) and the Central American private sector design alternativeprivate sector-led development strategies and programs in energyhousing health education the promotion of democratic values and women in development The RDS Project was written very broadlycovering several program areas to allow maximum flexibility in itsimplementation in order for ROCAP to respond to both the rapidlychanging political and economic conditions in Central America and to changing budget realities in ROCAPo

Purpose of Evaluation and Methodology Used

RDS began in September 1990 as a 5 year $25 million Project underthe Central American ROCAP Mission The Project was amended inAugust 1992 to support ROCAPs Program Objectives (1992-1998) andAction Plan (1992-1994) As a result RDS is now a more tightlyfocused project than the original project

The purpose of this evaluation is to review the activitiesimplemented under the Project pre-amendment The evaluation wasconducted during October 1992 by a consultant through a reviewof project documents files and reports and through personalinterviews with pertinent ROCAP Regional Housing and UrbanDevelopment Office (RHUDO) and AID personnel

Findings

The Project was designed to achieve its purpose through activitiesin six component areas Energy and Environment Health andNutrition Education and Training Shelter and Urban DevelopmentWomen in Development (WID) and Project Design and Support (thelatter serving in a supportive role to the other five) It isassumed that efforts in the promotion of democratic values were tobe inherent in the process of conducting activities in each of theabove components although this was not clearly outlined in theproject documents The activities conducted included those related to Policy Development and InformationReform GatheringDissemination Skills Development and Management

The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars conducted RegionalSeminars conducted Persons with Improved Skills and PolicyReforms Initiated The other 2 categories Policy Option Studiesand Publications had minimal output This may have been the resultof a cutback of planned personnel in two component areas (WID andEducation and Training) theand resultant limits on activitiesconducted within these components It must also be noted that thisevaluation occurs not at the 5 year point but 23 months into theproject work thus ahead of schedule for expecting full completionof outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following

RHUDO laid the groundwork for a major program effort in theregion in municipal development Municipal assessmentsstudies development of municipal indicators especially asrelated to gender issues policy fora and seminars and thedesign of a new project Local Government Regional OutreachStrategy (LOGROS) were conducted

-Technical assistance was provided for 5 ROCAP ProjectsEnergy and 3 in HealthNutrition 2 in The RDS funded both theEnergy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to manage

these projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three private regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted These activities have included privateinstitutions of higher education women business leaders aregional nutrition institute and representatives from privateand public energy sectors

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems were initiated but not completed underthis Project (Women Business Leaders and PrivateUniversities) They should be given consideration indesign and development of the

the Regional InformationClearinghouse (a major component of the Amendment) or haveunprogrammed RDS funds directed towards their completion

2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed

3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessary the remainingunprogrammed funds could be reprogrammed for the new purposes of the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than the Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants project status andaccomplishments within component areas for this evaluationperiod The files should be updated with pertinent reports Animproved system of reporting should be considered for theAmendment if this has not already been done

Lessons Learned

1 The Project Paper for the RDS Project contained manyinconsistencies and lacked clarity A careful review ofProject Papers should be made before they are put into finalform to insure that goals purposes implementation plans andactivities budgets etc are consistent throughout thedocument and accurately reflect appropriate authorizations

2 Broadly written goals and purpose statements are verydifficult to measure results against and may water down trueaccomplishments towards reaching goals

3 RDS and the amended RDS both fund advisors to manage otherROCAP Projects The accomplishments and outputs of theprojects which these advisors manage should somehow bereported as indirect accomplishments of RDS Some type ofsystem of reporting the status and outputs of these projectsshould be considered

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

Feeding Programs held in Costa Rica

o Regional Conference held as preparatory meeting for theInternational Nutrition Conference to be held in Rome in December 1992

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars conducted RegionalSeminars conducted Persons with Improved Skills and PolicyReforms Initiated The other 2 categories Policy Option Studiesand Publications had minimal output This may have been the resultof a cutback of planned personnel in two component areas (WID andEducation and Training) theand resultant limits on activitiesconducted within these components It must also be noted that thisevaluation occurs not at the 5 year point but 23 months into theproject work thus ahead of schedule for expecting full completionof outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following

RHUDO laid the groundwork for a major program effort in theregion in municipal development Municipal assessmentsstudies development of municipal indicators especially asrelated to gender issues policy fora and seminars and thedesign of a new project Local Government Regional OutreachStrategy (LOGROS) were conducted

-Technical assistance was provided for 5 ROCAP ProjectsEnergy and 3 in HealthNutrition 2 in The RDS funded both theEnergy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to manage

these projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three private regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted These activities have included privateinstitutions of higher education women business leaders aregional nutrition institute and representatives from privateand public energy sectors

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems were initiated but not completed underthis Project (Women Business Leaders and PrivateUniversities) They should be given consideration indesign and development of the

the Regional InformationClearinghouse (a major component of the Amendment) or haveunprogrammed RDS funds directed towards their completion

2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed

3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessary the remainingunprogrammed funds could be reprogrammed for the new purposes of the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than the Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants project status andaccomplishments within component areas for this evaluationperiod The files should be updated with pertinent reports Animproved system of reporting should be considered for theAmendment if this has not already been done

Lessons Learned

1 The Project Paper for the RDS Project contained manyinconsistencies and lacked clarity A careful review ofProject Papers should be made before they are put into finalform to insure that goals purposes implementation plans andactivities budgets etc are consistent throughout thedocument and accurately reflect appropriate authorizations

2 Broadly written goals and purpose statements are verydifficult to measure results against and may water down trueaccomplishments towards reaching goals

3 RDS and the amended RDS both fund advisors to manage otherROCAP Projects The accomplishments and outputs of theprojects which these advisors manage should somehow bereported as indirect accomplishments of RDS Some type ofsystem of reporting the status and outputs of these projectsshould be considered

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

Outstanding Items

None

7

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

2 A Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with INCAP for$57695 The PACD is December 31 1992

HN Advisor Under the supervision and management of the HNAdvisor the following activities occurred

The ORT Project reached its PACD in May 1992 Althoughthere are still outstanding items to bring to closure onthis project some of the accomplishments include

o Various documentspolicy studies were completed relatedto legislation of fortification of sugar with Vitamin A in several CA countries

O National Seminar held in Belize on Employment Wageand Basic Food Basket

Food Assistance Project will reach its PACD in November1992Some of the accomplishments to date have included o National Seminar on the Management of National School

Feeding Programs held in Costa Rica

o Regional Conference held as preparatory meeting for theInternational Nutrition Conference to be held in Rome in December 1992

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

Design and coordinate a more thorough and systematicapproach to the process of surveying education and trainingneeds shy both in the formal academic system through graduate

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

Reporting Status

RHUDOCA was responsible for its own reporting on this componentRHUDO has submitted reports to ROCAP for the SARs Outstanding Items

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars conducted RegionalSeminars conducted Persons with Improved Skills and PolicyReforms Initiated The other 2 categories Policy Option Studiesand Publications had minimal output This may have been the resultof a cutback of planned personnel in two component areas (WID andEducation and Training) theand resultant limits on activitiesconducted within these components It must also be noted that thisevaluation occurs not at the 5 year point but 23 months into theproject work thus ahead of schedule for expecting full completionof outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following

RHUDO laid the groundwork for a major program effort in theregion in municipal development Municipal assessmentsstudies development of municipal indicators especially asrelated to gender issues policy fora and seminars and thedesign of a new project Local Government Regional OutreachStrategy (LOGROS) were conducted

-Technical assistance was provided for 5 ROCAP ProjectsEnergy and 3 in HealthNutrition 2 in The RDS funded both theEnergy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to manage

these projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three private regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted These activities have included privateinstitutions of higher education women business leaders aregional nutrition institute and representatives from privateand public energy sectors

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems were initiated but not completed underthis Project (Women Business Leaders and PrivateUniversities) They should be given consideration indesign and development of the

the Regional InformationClearinghouse (a major component of the Amendment) or haveunprogrammed RDS funds directed towards their completion

2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed

3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessary the remainingunprogrammed funds could be reprogrammed for the new purposes of the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than the Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants project status andaccomplishments within component areas for this evaluationperiod The files should be updated with pertinent reports Animproved system of reporting should be considered for theAmendment if this has not already been done

Lessons Learned

1 The Project Paper for the RDS Project contained manyinconsistencies and lacked clarity A careful review ofProject Papers should be made before they are put into finalform to insure that goals purposes implementation plans andactivities budgets etc are consistent throughout thedocument and accurately reflect appropriate authorizations

2 Broadly written goals and purpose statements are verydifficult to measure results against and may water down trueaccomplishments towards reaching goals

3 RDS and the amended RDS both fund advisors to manage otherROCAP Projects The accomplishments and outputs of theprojects which these advisors manage should somehow bereported as indirect accomplishments of RDS Some type ofsystem of reporting the status and outputs of these projectsshould be considered

Project Purpose

The purpose of the Regional Development Support Project (RDS) wasto assist ROCAP and the Central American private sector designalternative private sector-led development strategies and programsin energy housing health education the promotion of democraticvalues and women in development

Purpose of Evaluation

RDS began in September 1990 as a 5 year $25 million projectunder the Central American ROCAP Mission The Project was amendedin August 1992 The purpose of this evaluation is to serve as areview of the activities implementedamendment under the Project pre-The evaluation was conducted during Octobertnrough 1992a review of project documents files and reports aadthrough personal interviews with pertinent ROCAP RHUDO and AIDpersonnel

Findings

The Project was designed to achieve its purpose through activitiesin six component areas Energy and Environment Health andNutrition Education and Training Shelter and Urban DevelopmentWomen in Development and Project Design and Support (the latterserving in a supportive role to the other five) The activitieswere to include those appropriate to advance the following PolicyDevelopment and Reform Information Gathering and DisseminationSkills Development and Management Training and TechnicalAssistance Activities were conducted in support of each of thesecategories as evidenced by project outputs The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars Regional SeminarsPersons with Improved Skills and Policy Reforms Initiatedother 2 categories Policy Option The

Studies and Publications hadminimal outputplanned personnel

This may have been the result of a cutback ofin two component areas (WID and Education andTraining) and the resultant limits on activities within thesecomponents It must also be noted that this evaluation occurs notat the 5 year point but 23 months into the project work thusahead of schedule for expecting full completion of outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following ORHUDO had the opportunity to pursue laying the groundworkfor a major program effort in the region in municipaldevelopment as a result of funding through RDS Assessmentsstudies development of indicators policy fora and seminarsand design of a new project (LOGROS) were conducted

eROCAP Projects in Energy and HealthNutrition for whichtechnical assistance is being provided under the RDS Projecthave moved torward Two Projects the Los Alamos Project and-the Oral Rehydration Project reached their PACD Two otherProjects the Central American Rural Electrification SupportProject (CARES) and the Technical Support for Food AssistanceProject are still being implemented One Project theInstitutional Strengthening Project - INCAP has beendesigned and is in the implementation phase RDS funded boththe Energy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to managethese projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted

The RDS Project was written very broadly covering several programareas to allow maximum flexibility in its implementation to enableROCAP to respond to both the rapidly changing political andeconomic conditions in Central America and to changing budgetrealities in ROCAP It did have the ability to respond to changesand has been significantly amended to reflect those changes Inspite of its broadly defined focus and ambitious goals the Projecttook some critical steps in laying the groundwork for the futurework of ROCAP

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems which were initiated but not completedunder this Project (Women Business LeadersUniversity) should be considered and Private

in the development of theRegional Information Clearinghouse under the Amendment or haveunprogrammed money directed towards their completion 2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed 3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessaryunprogrammed the remainingfunds could be reprogrammed for the new purposesof the RDS Project as amended

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

1 Hire a Regional Health and Nutrition (HN) Advisor asPASA from USDA a

Feeding Programs held in Costa Rica

o Regional Conference held as preparatory meeting for theInternational Nutrition Conference to be held in Rome in December 1992

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

4 Other than the Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants project status andaccomplishments within component areas for this evaluationperiod The files should be updated with pertinent reports Animproved system of reporting should be considered for theAmendment if this has not already been done

Lessons Learned

1 The Project Paper for the RDS Project contained manyinconsistencies and lacked clarity A careful review ofProject Papers should be made before they are put into finalform to insure that goals purposes implementation plans andactivities budgets etc are consistent throughout thedocument and accurately reflect appropriate authorizations

2 Broadly written goals and purpose statements are verydifficult to measure results against and may water down trueaccomplishments towards reaching goals

3 RDS and the amended RDS both fund advisors to manage otherROCAP Projects The accomplishments and outputs of theprojects which these advisors manage should somehow bereported as indirect accomplishments of RDS Some type ofsystem of reporting the status and outputs of these projectsshould be considered

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Interim Evaluation Regional Development Support Project

(596-0162)

CAROCAP

Project Purpose

The purpose of the Regional Development Support Project (RDS) wasto assist ROCAP and the Central American private sector designalternative private sector-led development strategies and programsin energy housing health education the promotion of democraticvalues and women in development

Purpose of Evaluation

RDS began in September 1990 as a 5 year $25 million projectunder the Central American ROCAP Mission The Project was amendedin August 1992 The purpose of this evaluation is to serve as areview of the activities implementedamendment under the Project pre-The evaluation was conducted during Octobertnrough 1992a review of project documents files and reports aadthrough personal interviews with pertinent ROCAP RHUDO and AIDpersonnel

Findings

The Project was designed to achieve its purpose through activitiesin six component areas Energy and Environment Health andNutrition Education and Training Shelter and Urban DevelopmentWomen in Development and Project Design and Support (the latterserving in a supportive role to the other five) The activitieswere to include those appropriate to advance the following PolicyDevelopment and Reform Information Gathering and DisseminationSkills Development and Management Training and TechnicalAssistance Activities were conducted in support of each of thesecategories as evidenced by project outputs The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars Regional SeminarsPersons with Improved Skills and Policy Reforms Initiatedother 2 categories Policy Option The

Studies and Publications hadminimal outputplanned personnel

This may have been the result of a cutback ofin two component areas (WID and Education andTraining) and the resultant limits on activities within thesecomponents It must also be noted that this evaluation occurs notat the 5 year point but 23 months into the project work thusahead of schedule for expecting full completion of outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following ORHUDO had the opportunity to pursue laying the groundworkfor a major program effort in the region in municipaldevelopment as a result of funding through RDS Assessmentsstudies development of indicators policy fora and seminarsand design of a new project (LOGROS) were conducted

eROCAP Projects in Energy and HealthNutrition for whichtechnical assistance is being provided under the RDS Projecthave moved torward Two Projects the Los Alamos Project and-the Oral Rehydration Project reached their PACD Two otherProjects the Central American Rural Electrification SupportProject (CARES) and the Technical Support for Food AssistanceProject are still being implemented One Project theInstitutional Strengthening Project - INCAP has beendesigned and is in the implementation phase RDS funded boththe Energy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to managethese projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted

The RDS Project was written very broadly covering several programareas to allow maximum flexibility in its implementation to enableROCAP to respond to both the rapidly changing political andeconomic conditions in Central America and to changing budgetrealities in ROCAP It did have the ability to respond to changesand has been significantly amended to reflect those changes Inspite of its broadly defined focus and ambitious goals the Projecttook some critical steps in laying the groundwork for the futurework of ROCAP

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems which were initiated but not completedunder this Project (Women Business LeadersUniversity) should be considered and Private

in the development of theRegional Information Clearinghouse under the Amendment or haveunprogrammed money directed towards their completion 2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed 3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessaryunprogrammed the remainingfunds could be reprogrammed for the new purposesof the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants projectaccomplishments within component areas status and

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

Reporting Status

RHUDOCA was responsible for its own reporting on this componentRHUDO has submitted reports to ROCAP for the SARs Outstanding Items

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

RDS began in September 1990 as a 5 year $25 million projectunder the Central American ROCAP Mission The Project was amendedin August 1992 The purpose of this evaluation is to serve as areview of the activities implementedamendment under the Project pre-The evaluation was conducted during Octobertnrough 1992a review of project documents files and reports aadthrough personal interviews with pertinent ROCAP RHUDO and AIDpersonnel

Findings

The Project was designed to achieve its purpose through activitiesin six component areas Energy and Environment Health andNutrition Education and Training Shelter and Urban DevelopmentWomen in Development and Project Design and Support (the latterserving in a supportive role to the other five) The activitieswere to include those appropriate to advance the following PolicyDevelopment and Reform Information Gathering and DisseminationSkills Development and Management Training and TechnicalAssistance Activities were conducted in support of each of thesecategories as evidenced by project outputs The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars Regional SeminarsPersons with Improved Skills and Policy Reforms Initiatedother 2 categories Policy Option The

Studies and Publications hadminimal outputplanned personnel

This may have been the result of a cutback ofin two component areas (WID and Education andTraining) and the resultant limits on activities within thesecomponents It must also be noted that this evaluation occurs notat the 5 year point but 23 months into the project work thusahead of schedule for expecting full completion of outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following ORHUDO had the opportunity to pursue laying the groundworkfor a major program effort in the region in municipaldevelopment as a result of funding through RDS Assessmentsstudies development of indicators policy fora and seminarsand design of a new project (LOGROS) were conducted

eROCAP Projects in Energy and HealthNutrition for whichtechnical assistance is being provided under the RDS Projecthave moved torward Two Projects the Los Alamos Project and-the Oral Rehydration Project reached their PACD Two otherProjects the Central American Rural Electrification SupportProject (CARES) and the Technical Support for Food AssistanceProject are still being implemented One Project theInstitutional Strengthening Project - INCAP has beendesigned and is in the implementation phase RDS funded boththe Energy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to managethese projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted

The RDS Project was written very broadly covering several programareas to allow maximum flexibility in its implementation to enableROCAP to respond to both the rapidly changing political andeconomic conditions in Central America and to changing budgetrealities in ROCAP It did have the ability to respond to changesand has been significantly amended to reflect those changes Inspite of its broadly defined focus and ambitious goals the Projecttook some critical steps in laying the groundwork for the futurework of ROCAP

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems which were initiated but not completedunder this Project (Women Business LeadersUniversity) should be considered and Private

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

1 Hire a Regional Health and Nutrition (HN) Advisor asPASA from USDA a

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

Design and coordinate a more thorough and systematicapproach to the process of surveying education and trainingneeds shy both in the formal academic system through graduate

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Reporting Status

RHUDOCA was responsible for its own reporting on this componentRHUDO has submitted reports to ROCAP for the SARs Outstanding Items

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

CAROCAP

Project Purpose

The purpose of the Regional Development Support Project (RDS) wasto assist ROCAP and the Central American private sector designalternative private sector-led development strategies and programsin energy housing health education the promotion of democraticvalues and women in development

Purpose of Evaluation

RDS began in September 1990 as a 5 year $25 million projectunder the Central American ROCAP Mission The Project was amendedin August 1992 The purpose of this evaluation is to serve as areview of the activities implementedamendment under the Project pre-The evaluation was conducted during Octobertnrough 1992a review of project documents files and reports aadthrough personal interviews with pertinent ROCAP RHUDO and AIDpersonnel

Findings

The Project was designed to achieve its purpose through activitiesin six component areas Energy and Environment Health andNutrition Education and Training Shelter and Urban DevelopmentWomen in Development and Project Design and Support (the latterserving in a supportive role to the other five) The activitieswere to include those appropriate to advance the following PolicyDevelopment and Reform Information Gathering and DisseminationSkills Development and Management Training and TechnicalAssistance Activities were conducted in support of each of thesecategories as evidenced by project outputs The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars Regional SeminarsPersons with Improved Skills and Policy Reforms Initiatedother 2 categories Policy Option The

Studies and Publications hadminimal outputplanned personnel

This may have been the result of a cutback ofin two component areas (WID and Education andTraining) and the resultant limits on activities within thesecomponents It must also be noted that this evaluation occurs notat the 5 year point but 23 months into the project work thusahead of schedule for expecting full completion of outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following ORHUDO had the opportunity to pursue laying the groundworkfor a major program effort in the region in municipaldevelopment as a result of funding through RDS Assessmentsstudies development of indicators policy fora and seminarsand design of a new project (LOGROS) were conducted

eROCAP Projects in Energy and HealthNutrition for whichtechnical assistance is being provided under the RDS Projecthave moved torward Two Projects the Los Alamos Project and-the Oral Rehydration Project reached their PACD Two otherProjects the Central American Rural Electrification SupportProject (CARES) and the Technical Support for Food AssistanceProject are still being implemented One Project theInstitutional Strengthening Project - INCAP has beendesigned and is in the implementation phase RDS funded boththe Energy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to managethese projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted

The RDS Project was written very broadly covering several programareas to allow maximum flexibility in its implementation to enableROCAP to respond to both the rapidly changing political andeconomic conditions in Central America and to changing budgetrealities in ROCAP It did have the ability to respond to changesand has been significantly amended to reflect those changes Inspite of its broadly defined focus and ambitious goals the Projecttook some critical steps in laying the groundwork for the futurework of ROCAP

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems which were initiated but not completedunder this Project (Women Business LeadersUniversity) should be considered and Private

in the development of theRegional Information Clearinghouse under the Amendment or haveunprogrammed money directed towards their completion 2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed 3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessaryunprogrammed the remainingfunds could be reprogrammed for the new purposesof the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants projectaccomplishments within component areas status and

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

1 Hire a Regional Health and Nutrition (HN) Advisor asPASA from USDA a

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

Design and coordinate a more thorough and systematicapproach to the process of surveying education and trainingneeds shy both in the formal academic system through graduate

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

26

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Interim Evaluation Regional Development Support Project

(596-0162)

CAROCAP

Project Purpose

The purpose of the Regional Development Support Project (RDS) wasto assist ROCAP and the Central American private sector designalternative private sector-led development strategies and programsin energy housing health education the promotion of democraticvalues and women in development

Purpose of Evaluation

RDS began in September 1990 as a 5 year $25 million projectunder the Central American ROCAP Mission The Project was amendedin August 1992 The purpose of this evaluation is to serve as areview of the activities implementedamendment under the Project pre-The evaluation was conducted during Octobertnrough 1992a review of project documents files and reports aadthrough personal interviews with pertinent ROCAP RHUDO and AIDpersonnel

Findings

The Project was designed to achieve its purpose through activitiesin six component areas Energy and Environment Health andNutrition Education and Training Shelter and Urban DevelopmentWomen in Development and Project Design and Support (the latterserving in a supportive role to the other five) The activitieswere to include those appropriate to advance the following PolicyDevelopment and Reform Information Gathering and DisseminationSkills Development and Management Training and TechnicalAssistance Activities were conducted in support of each of thesecategories as evidenced by project outputs The evaluation determined that planned outputs stated in theLogical Framework of the Project were met or exceeded in 4 of the6 output categories namely National Seminars Regional SeminarsPersons with Improved Skills and Policy Reforms Initiatedother 2 categories Policy Option The

Studies and Publications hadminimal outputplanned personnel

This may have been the result of a cutback ofin two component areas (WID and Education andTraining) and the resultant limits on activities within thesecomponents It must also be noted that this evaluation occurs notat the 5 year point but 23 months into the project work thusahead of schedule for expecting full completion of outputs

Some highlights of the project have included the following ORHUDO had the opportunity to pursue laying the groundworkfor a major program effort in the region in municipaldevelopment as a result of funding through RDS Assessmentsstudies development of indicators policy fora and seminarsand design of a new project (LOGROS) were conducted

eROCAP Projects in Energy and HealthNutrition for whichtechnical assistance is being provided under the RDS Projecthave moved torward Two Projects the Los Alamos Project and-the Oral Rehydration Project reached their PACD Two otherProjects the Central American Rural Electrification SupportProject (CARES) and the Technical Support for Food AssistanceProject are still being implemented One Project theInstitutional Strengthening Project - INCAP has beendesigned and is in the implementation phase RDS funded boththe Energy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to managethese projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted

The RDS Project was written very broadly covering several programareas to allow maximum flexibility in its implementation to enableROCAP to respond to both the rapidly changing political andeconomic conditions in Central America and to changing budgetrealities in ROCAP It did have the ability to respond to changesand has been significantly amended to reflect those changes Inspite of its broadly defined focus and ambitious goals the Projecttook some critical steps in laying the groundwork for the futurework of ROCAP

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems which were initiated but not completedunder this Project (Women Business LeadersUniversity) should be considered and Private

in the development of theRegional Information Clearinghouse under the Amendment or haveunprogrammed money directed towards their completion 2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed 3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessaryunprogrammed the remainingfunds could be reprogrammed for the new purposesof the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants projectaccomplishments within component areas status and

spread With a project asout as RDS better reporting systems could be ofbenefit

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

Regional Training Coordinator contracted through March 1993Four national and 3 regional workshops andor seminars havebeen planned and all but one conducted to date (Seedescription below under Seminars)

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

26

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

Some highlights of the project have included the following ORHUDO had the opportunity to pursue laying the groundworkfor a major program effort in the region in municipaldevelopment as a result of funding through RDS Assessmentsstudies development of indicators policy fora and seminarsand design of a new project (LOGROS) were conducted

eROCAP Projects in Energy and HealthNutrition for whichtechnical assistance is being provided under the RDS Projecthave moved torward Two Projects the Los Alamos Project and-the Oral Rehydration Project reached their PACD Two otherProjects the Central American Rural Electrification SupportProject (CARES) and the Technical Support for Food AssistanceProject are still being implemented One Project theInstitutional Strengthening Project - INCAP has beendesigned and is in the implementation phase RDS funded boththe Energy Advisor and the HealthNutrition Advisor to managethese projects

Through Limited Scope Agreements with three regionalinstitutions seminars and workshops on consensus buildingproblem identification and training have occurred the needfor information gathering and dissemination has been realizedand the formation of data-base systems initiated regionalinstitutions are being strengthened and energy audits havebeen conducted

The RDS Project was written very broadly covering several programareas to allow maximum flexibility in its implementation to enableROCAP to respond to both the rapidly changing political andeconomic conditions in Central America and to changing budgetrealities in ROCAP It did have the ability to respond to changesand has been significantly amended to reflect those changes Inspite of its broadly defined focus and ambitious goals the Projecttook some critical steps in laying the groundwork for the futurework of ROCAP

Recommendations

1 Two databank systems which were initiated but not completedunder this Project (Women Business LeadersUniversity) should be considered and Private

in the development of theRegional Information Clearinghouse under the Amendment or haveunprogrammed money directed towards their completion 2 The contractual status of the Project Design Consultants andthe HealthNutrition Advisor should be reviewed 3 After 1 and 2 above have been reviewed and project fundsreprogrammed if determined necessaryunprogrammed the remainingfunds could be reprogrammed for the new purposesof the RDS Project as amended

4 Other than Semi-Annual Reviews (SARs) for two reportingperiods there is a dearth of reports in the project filesregarding work of consultants projectaccomplishments within component areas status and

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

Regional Training Coordinator contracted through March 1993Four national and 3 regional workshops andor seminars havebeen planned and all but one conducted to date (Seedescription below under Seminars)

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

Regional Training Coordinator contracted through March 1993Four national and 3 regional workshops andor seminars havebeen planned and all but one conducted to date (Seedescription below under Seminars)

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

26

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

INTRODUCTION

The Regional Development Support Project (RDs) is a ROCAP sponsoredproject (596-0162) The purpose of the Project was to assist ROCAPand the Central American private sector design alternative privatesector-led development strategies and programs in energy housinghealth education the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment (Project Paper) The project began September 1990 asa 5 year $25 million project

The Project was amended in July 1992 to support the major programchanges in the ROCAP program since the approval of the 1992-1998ROCAP Program Objectives Document in February 1992 The amendmentnarrowed the focus of the Project Purpose and added an additionalPurpose An additional $25 million was added to the Projectthrough the amendment with a new PACD of September 30 1996 a 14month extension from the original PACD This report serves as an evaluation and review of the performanceand progress of the RDS Project and its activities from its date ofauthorization September 4 1990 through the date of its amendmentauthorization July 1992

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

Design and coordinate a more thorough and systematicapproach to the process of surveying education and trainingneeds shy both in the formal academic system through graduate

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

Regional Training Coordinator contracted through March 1993Four national and 3 regional workshops andor seminars havebeen planned and all but one conducted to date (Seedescription below under Seminars)

20 Short-term Data Management Specialist contracted who developed regional shelter and urban development indicators

Short-term Intern contracted to do the following

o Assess literature and printed works on women in local government Set up indicators for municipal development particularly arelated to gender issues and recommend how LOGROS canassist women in local governmento Develop matrixmethodology for data collection on LOGROSProject

Reporting Status

RHUDOCA was responsible for its own reporting on this componentRHUDO has submitted reports to ROCAP for the SARs Outstanding Items

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

26

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT AND FORMAT OF E SALUATIO

Overview

The goal of the RDS rroject was to promote regional consensus oneconomic and social development strategies to ensure that futuregrowth is more responsibly implemented and equitably shared Itspurpose as stated in the Project Authorization and the Summary andRecommendations section of the Project Paper was to study andprepare for fcrrmal AID approval alternative development strategiesand programsprojects in areas important todevelopment in the next decade Central Americas

A slightly different and morespecific Project Purpose was presented underDescription section the Projectof the Project Paper inand theFramework LogicalIt reads as follows to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment The presentation of two Project Purposes in theProject Documents does lend to confusion as to the focus of theProject However it is apparent from a review of the goalstatement and the two purpose statements that the RDS Project waswritten very broadly to be inclusive of addressing the many issueswhich could impact on the developmcnt of the region For the purpose of this evaluation report the Project Purpose asstated in the Logical Framework will be used as the point ofreference since it is more specific than the other and it is thestated purpose used in the Semi-Annual Review (SAR) According to this Project Purpose the aim of increasing the activeinvolvement of the private sector in the development of strategiesand programs was to be focused on specific programmatic areasenergy health education housing women in development anddemocratic values All of these programmatic areas have beenidentified throughout the project as components with the exceptionof democratic values Although it is specifically stated that theProject will assist in the development of democratic initiativesin the Project Authorization Project Paper and the LogicalFramework it is not segregated out as a distinct component norwere funds obligated In the New Project Description ApprovalCable (STATE 284217) it was recommended that ROCAP not considerexpanding its activities in the Democratic Initiatives area becauseAIDW had not yet agreed to a specific role for ROCAP It appearsthat the Project Paper including the stated Project Purpose werenever revised to reflect AIDW recommendation Perhaps theintention was that the activities conducted within the componentareas would inherently be working towards solidifying and expandingthe democratic process

2 There was a common set of activities envisioned for each componentarea as outlined in the Project Activities section of the ProjectPaper These included the following

Policy Development and Reform to include policy fora policystudies and briefings of studies through workshops andseminars

Information Gathering and Dissemination through studiessurveys publications and dissemination of these toappropriate persons and institutions

Skills Development and Management Training through fora forsector leaders to share common problems and work towardsolutions training specifically in the area of negotiationtraining of trainers and the development of more responsivepublic education

Technical Assistance provided in policy formulation andimplementation policy assessments public education andtraining and institutional development

With these activities serving as a general guideactivities were outlined within each component areamore specific

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Recommendation

None

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

Design and coordinate a more thorough and systematicapproach to the process of surveying education and trainingneeds shy both in the formal academic system through graduate

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Reporting Status

RHUDOCA was responsible for its own reporting on this componentRHUDO has submitted reports to ROCAP for the SARs Outstanding Items

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

2 A Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with INCAP for$57695 The PACD is December 31 1992

HN Advisor Under the supervision and management of the HNAdvisor the following activities occurred

The ORT Project reached its PACD in May 1992 Althoughthere are still outstanding items to bring to closure onthis project some of the accomplishments include

o Various documentspolicy studies were completed relatedto legislation of fortification of sugar with Vitamin A in several CA countries

O National Seminar held in Belize on Employment Wageand Basic Food Basket

o Regional Training Course on Human Growth land Development

Feeding Programs held in Costa Rica

o Regional Conference held as preparatory meeting for theInternational Nutrition Conference to be held in Rome in December 1992

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

Oversee follow-on activities with returned CAPSparticipants

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

1 A Travel Course on decentralization is being rescheduled forChile Visit to Columbia was postponed due to security reasons(ICMA Buy-In)

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

41

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

2 For purposes of better tracking of work performed some sort ofwritten reporting by consultants placed in project files if notalready required should be considered

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project

The main focus of the Energy and Environment component as outlinedin the RDS Project Paper was to support the goal of rationalizingenergy policies and improving efficiency of the generation anddelivery of electric power in Central America and Panama in a wayconsistent with sound environmental management Through the CARESProject the Los Alamos Project and the training and audits underthe Grant Agreement substantial efforts have been made in thisendeavor Both the private and public sectors have had significantinvolvement in policy dialogue studies and training

Because of a shift in program priorities the planned new energyproject for FY92 did not move forward So the original intentionthrough this component of RDS to oversee the implementation of thisproject never materialized

The RDS was a 5 year project with planned activities under Energyand Environment for the life of the project Yet the Project Papercalled for the funding of the Energy Advisor for only a 2 yearperiod This exhibited inconsistency in the program plans vspersonnel needs The advisor was to oversee the design andimplementation of the new project and manage two ongoing projectsCARES and Los Alamos None of these projects had project funds foran advisor or Project Officer The latter reached its PACD in June1991 clearly within the 2 year funding period ofHowever the PACD of the CARES Project is March 1994 the Advisor

- well beyondthe 2 year limit The Advisors funding has been extendedhowever to June 1994 which will provide for management of theproject through PACD

Component 2 Health and Nutrition

The Health and Nutrition component of this project was to bedirected initially toward the Institute of Nutrition of CentralAmerica and Panama (INCAP) with the objective of helping thatorganization become a financially viable contributor to CentralAmerican development A longer-term effort aimed at expanding therole of the private sector in health care especially in urban areas was also to be addressed (Project Authorization ProjectPaper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS Project was to do the following

1 Hire a Regional Health and Nutrition (HN) Advisor asPASA from USDA a

2 A Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with INCAP for$57695 The PACD is December 31 1992

HN Advisor Under the supervision and management of the HNAdvisor the following activities occurred

The ORT Project reached its PACD in May 1992 Althoughthere are still outstanding items to bring to closure onthis project some of the accomplishments include

o Various documentspolicy studies were completed relatedto legislation of fortification of sugar with Vitamin A in several CA countries

O National Seminar held in Belize on Employment Wageand Basic Food Basket

o Regional Training Course on Human Growth land Development

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

Food Assistance Project will reach its PACD in November1992Some of the accomplishments to date have included o National Seminar on the Management of National School

Feeding Programs held in Costa Rica

o Regional Conference held as preparatory meeting for theInternational Nutrition Conference to be held in Rome in December 1992

o Regional Seminar on Food Subsidies and Structural Adjustment in Central America

o Twelve Summary Documents and Component and CountryDocuments published

(Note Although the outputs of the above two projects are notdirectly related to RDS there is a definite indirect relationshipbecause the RDS funded the HealthNutrition Advisor who oversaw theactivities of these projects)

INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project (596-0169) beganJune 1991 with a PACD of June 1994 The HN Advisorcoordinated the design of the project and presentlyprovides ROCAPs project management and technicalassistance to it Additionally she has been involved inthe selection and management of the technical assistanceprovided through the Grant Agreement outlined below 0 Technical assistance has been provided to INCAP andbilateral missions as needed

Limited Scope Grant Agreement The following activities have beencompleted under the Grant Agreement

Technical Assistance to INCAP in Information ManagementSystems Development which included the initiation of a LAN(Local Area Network) at INCAP This assistance was providedby consultant from Information Resource Management (IRM)Grant paid travel and per diem costs Consultancy from Costa Rica provided technical services inthe area of information management for development of theproject paper for INCAP Institutional Strengthening

Project

Technical Assistance to INCAP and RqCAP in FinancialResource Development especially related to endowments Thisassistance was provided by Management Systems International(MSI) through an IQC Work Order and Purchase Order

ReportStatus

Health Nutrition Advisor Both the PIO-T and the Project Papercalled for specific reports The PIO-T called for Quarterly StatusReviews on active health projects and a Final Report at the end ofadvisors tour The Project Paper called for a Work Plan andQuarterly Reports

The Advisor stated that she was never instructed to provideQuarterly Reports or a Work Plan The Advisor has provided StatusReports (SARS) for the RDS Project as well as reports on thespecific projects she manages She has reported verbally as wellto her supervisor the Chief of the Program and Project DevelopmentOffice

(It should be noted that there is an error in the SAR of October1991-March 1992 Under Section C Other AccomplishmentsComponent 2 the word cancelled should read contracted) Limited Scope Grant Agreement The PACD for the Grant Agreementhas been extended to December 31 1992 so final reporting is not

12 yet due To date reports have been submitted by MSI as their firstreport of three (see Project Paper 596-0169) IRM (2 reportssubmitted shy see Project files) and consultancy report from CostaRica (see Project Paper 596-0169)

outstanding Items

The INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project Paper states thatprior to July 31 1992 a contract extension or new contract wouldbe executed to ensure continuity of in-house technical capabilitiesto manage the project through PACD of June 1994 This contractwould be funded under RDS and would be executed in time for overlapbetween incoming and outgoing HN Advisor According to the RDSAmendment the postion would be funded through June 1995

Analysis

The main focus of the Health and Nutrition component as outlined inthe RDS Project Paper was to assist INCAP in becoming a financiallyviable contributor to Central American development The inputs oftechnical assistance through the Limited Scope Grant Agreement andthe design and current implementation of the INCAP InstitutionalStrenthening Project have been and are aimed toward this goalThis component of the RDS Project contributed significantly to theachievement of this goal

The RDS was a 5 year project with stated activities in the area ofhealthnutrition (including those above) to be accomplished underthe supervision of the HealthNutrition Advisor Two of theseactivities also included managing two ongoing HealthNutritionProjects No Project Manager positions were funded specificiallyunder these projects nor was one funded under the new projectYet the RDS Project Paper planned for funding the Advisor for onlya one year period This presented a conflict in project plans andproject personnel requirements to meet those needs This situationhas been adjusted for through contract extensions for the AdvisorThe present situation based on the RDS Amendment is such that theposition will be funded to June 1995 which runs one year beyondPACD of the INCAP Institutional Strengthening Project

Recommendation

Attention should be given to the contractual status of the Healthand Nutrition Advisor which ends June 1993 to ensure an overlap ofadvisors if the present advisor does not remain through the PACD

13 Component 3 Education and Training

A myriad of activities were planned under the Education andTraining Component of the RDS Project in an effort to improve theeducation and training status in Central America Theactivities included the following major

A survey of the regions education and training status atall levels Identification of priority needs and innovative ways tomeet those needs to allow Central America to participate inthe global economy Technical staff support for design and implementation oftraining activities under a variety of ROCAP-funded projects

The Plans

In order to accomplish above the RDS project was doto thefollowing

1 Fund a PSC Training Officer for the 5 year term of theproject ($287293)

2 Provide a timited Scope Grant Agreement to Federation ofPrivate Sector Entities in Central America and Panama(FEDEPRICAP) in the amount of $35600 to expand itsassistance to the private universities in Central America

Training Officer According to the Project Paper the TrainingOfficer was to oversee the following activities as well as serve asthe CAPS (Central American Peace Scholarship) Coordinator Identify appropriate sources of trainingparticipants and selectfor major training actions planned underRENARM (Regional Environment and Natural Resources

Project)

Design and monitor training programs for other proposedROCAP-funded projects ie ongoing INCAPproposed PROEXAGLeadership Training Project and the EnergyPolicyEfficiency projects

14 and post-graduate schools on-the-job trainingand in industrial and managerial skills

Serve as resource to ROCAP staff in designing trainingprograms and carrying much of the day-to-day implementationworkload for project financed training

Additional responsibilities are outlined in Pages 4-5Annex F Project Paper

Limited Scone Grant Agreement The following activities were to befunded under the grant

Provide support to andprivate sector universities institutions

Assist newly formed Central American Federation of PrivateUniversities (AUPRICA) consisting of 11 universities andrelated institutions Funds were to support additionalorganizing and planning meetings conferences and workshopsfor further development of collaborative activitiesobservation travel to US universities informationsharing via publications and correspondence and help indeveloping a program to sustain the Federations futureefforts

FEDEPRICAP was to assist the Federation in working withRegional Technical AID Center RTAC II for development ofSpanish language civics textbooks and guides onpresentation for teachers for use by primary and secondaryschools throughout Central America (Project Paper page24)

(Note In the section of the Project Paper Coston EstimatesFinancial Plan andp 38 the $50000 WID Grant was added to theEducation and Training Grant of $35600 bringing the total proposedGrant to FEDEPRICAP to $85600)

The Reality

1 Training and Education Officer - never hired

According to the Project Paper the Officer was to have been hiredduring the first three months of the project The Officer waslisted in the Cost Estimates and Financial Plan section of theProject Paper p 37 and was budgeted One interviewee statedthat ROCAP was no longer viewing education and training as adistinct program area and thus did not move forward with hiring anEducation and Training Officer Washington did approve funding ofthe position through the New Project Description (NPD) cable (State284217 August 24 1990)

The ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the management of theremaining element of this component the Limited Scope GrantAgreement

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 (This was inclusive of grant money for WID activitiesThis total amount was $42550 less than the suggested total amountof $85600 in the Illustrative Budget of the Project Paper)stated purpose of the grant Thein the agreement with respectEducation and Training activities to was to provide funding toFEDEPRICAP to expand its assistance to the private universities inCentral America especially through AUPRICA The activities whichFEDEPRICAP was interested in collaborating with AUPRICA includedseminars and organizational planning activities observation visitsto the US and other countries establishment ofinformation exchange design of

a system for a program to take advantage ofeducational materials available through RTAC II and research

programs

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreement Regional Seminars or Workshops 2 Regional Seminars and 1Travel Workshop were held

o 1st Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in TegucigalpaHonduras April 1991 About 25 University Leaders fromthe Central American countries attended Discussionscentered around identification of areas of interest forcooperation and integration means of sharinginformation fundraising admission criteria andadministrative issues

o 2nd Regional Seminar - AUPRICA was held in San PedroSula Honduras in October 1991 with 25 Universityleaders in attendance This seminar provided a forumto address several areas of mutual interest andconcern These included discussions on establishingmechanism and procedures for cooperation formation ofa commission of representatives to work on a jointaccreditation project ideas on setting up databank ofcourses and initial discussion of possibility ofmitigating university debt with the use of debtconversion mechanisms

o An Observation Tour to US was taken in May 1991 by 3University leaders The leaders visited CatholicUniversity State Department and the Council ofIndependent Universities and Colleges to gatherinformation and gain insight into other organizationsrepresenting private universities

16 1200 Textbooks were given to AUPRICA through the RTAC IIprogram and distributed to 9 member university libraries A computer was purchased as initial support forestablishment of a thedatabank of detailed course offerings byAUPRICA member universities Bids have been received todesign and set up the system but Grant funds ran out

Report Status FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Appendix E

outstanding Items 1 The design and development of the databank is at a standstillwith no mone i to move it to fruition 2 The development of a proposal for joint accreditation criteriaamong the member universities and establishmentaccreditation links is not completed due to lack of funds

of

Analvsis

Because the Training and Education Officer was never hired many ofthe planned activities under this component were never carried outwith the exception of those outlined under the Grant Agreement Through the Grant Agreement under the management of the PrivateSector Officer assistance was provided to furthering the effortsof AUPRICA through funding of 2 seminars an observational traveltrip to the US purchase of a computer and receipt of books forUniversity libraries development of programs

One area which did fall short is help infor sustaining the future of AUPRICAAUPRICA being a young organization is still building its base Asa result of this Grant it has identified areas of mutual concernof its members which could strengthen the private universities inthe region These areas include 1) the development of a databaseof information on detailed courseun3versity and offerings by each member2) the design of aaccreditation criteria Work project to coordinatein both of these areas began butcannot proceed without additional financial assistance ThroughRDS momentum was gained in strengthening the private universitysector in the region AUPRICA needs to continue to grow andfinalize the projects it set out to do under this Grant Agroement

17 Recommendations

1 The databank of course offerings should be established andbecome operational An appropriate vehicle for this may be a tieshyin to the Regional Informational Clearinghouse (RIC)the amended as outlined inRDS Projectconsideration to

If this is not possible then ause some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be considered 2 The status of the design of the project on joint accreditationcriteria should be made by the Private Sector Officer to determinewhat type of assistance is required to complete this effort Basedon his findings a recommendation that funding or technicalassistance be provided by the amended RDS may be in order

18 Component 4 Shelter and Urban Development

The Shelter and Urban Development component of the RDS Project wasdesigned to provide bilateral and regional technical assistance toshelter and urban development programs under the technicalsupervision of the Regional Housing and Urban Development Officefor Central America (RHUDOCA) This component would address theneed to increase and improve shelter and basic infrastructureconditions in the region encourage private sector participation inshelter and urban programs and promote employment It would alsohelp improve the planning financial management and out-reach ofhousing and urban development institutions of the region Thetechnical managerial and policy skills of key individuals in theshelter sector in private and public institutions concerned withurban development could also be enhanced RHUDOCA was to developits own strategy and work plan for carrying out its objectives(Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS Project was to do thefollowing

1 Fund the costs of two years worth of services by long-termspecialistsadvisors who would serve on the staff of RHUDOCAThese advisors would provide technical assistance to the CAUSAIDmissions with shelter and urban development programs The text of the Project Paper conflicted with the IllustrativeBudgets of the Project Paper concerning the advisors who would befunded According to the budget the following positions were to befunded

Urban Development Advisor Municipal Development Advisor Shelter Development Advisor Data Management Specialist Regional Housing Training Advisor Short-Term Technical Assistance

According to text of the Project Paper however the followingpositions were cited as those to be funded

UrbanMunicipal Advisor Financial Advisor Housing Policy Advisor

Note Washington recommended the InfrastructureFinancial Advisornot be contracted per proposed project (NPD cable State 284217Aug 24 1990) It is unclear from the two lists of positionsabove which position this cable was referring to

19 2 The total amount of funds to be allocated were in the amountof $1 mi] ton These funds were scheduled to be deobligated fromthe Central America Shelter and Urban Development Project (596shy0143) and reobligated to the RDS Project 3 If deemed appropriate part of the $1 million could also beused to improveextend the management informationCentral systems ofAmerican organizations involved in shelter andinfrastructure particularly the Central American Bank of EconomicIntegration (CABEI)

The Reality

One million dollars was deobligated from Project (596-0143) andreobligated to the RDS Project With this money RHUDO was able tolay the groundwork for a decentralization and municipal developmentprogram As a regional technical office of AID RHUDO wanted toprovide both the stimulus and the support to the bilateral missionsfor strengthening local governments and privateconsensus building policy reform toward sector through

decentralization anddeveloping of skills at the community levelidentification and solution in problem money The RDS Project provided the seedto design a project to do this - the Local GovernmentRegional Outreach Strategy Project (LOGROS) Through the funds from the RDS Project RHUDO performed thefollowing activities toward achievement of their goal1 SpecialistsAdvisors The following long and short-termspecialistsadvisors were contracted

Municipal Development Advisor contracted through March 1993Work accomplished included o Monitored work of Planning and Development Collaborative(PADCO) described below in Policy Studieso Assisted in development of LOGROS ProjectO Assisted government and Congress of Honduras in design ofmunicipal development reformso Provided technical assistance to bilateral mission inEl Salvador and to the government in formulation ofmunicipal development strategy Successful completion ofstrategy should lead to a PID and PPo Worked with bilateral mission in Nicaragua on assessment ofmunicipal sector Mission and government working onstrategy with the hopes of developing a bilateral municipaldevelopment project

2 Municipal Solid Waste Seminar was rescheduled for November1992 due to contracting delays in Washington (ICMA Buy-In) 3 Finalize municipal sector strategies in El Salvador andNicaragua

4 Finalize municipal indicators

Analysis

Through the RDS Project RHUDO was given the flexibility to developits own strategy for carrying out its objectivescontext RHUDO chose Within thatto pursue its goals in shelter and urban

22 development through the municipal levels of government vs thenational level The outgrowth of this approach is the LOGROSProject The purpose of LOGROS is to contribute to the transfer ofauthority and control over financial and human resources fromcentral to local governments while helping to improve localgovernments response to citizen demands for improved services andpolitical enfranchisement

As a result of the RDS funds RHUDO was able to conduct pre-LOGROSstudies analyses assessments dialogues and bring this idea toproject status LOGROS was authorized in August 1992

Recommendation

None Amendment 1 to RDS has already addressed ways in whichmunicipal development efforts may benefit from Regional InformationClearinghouse (RIC) activities

23 Component S Women in Development

The RDS Project was to provide funds and technical expertise tocarry out ROCAPs Women in Development (WID) Plan which had beenapproved in Washington The purpose of the plan was to increase theparticipation of women in Central Americas development and in itsbenefits (Project Paper)

The Plans

In order to accomplish the above the RDS project was to do the following

1 Fund a WID Officer - salary and expenses

2 Provide a Limited Scope Grant Agreement to FEDEPRICAP in the amount of $50000

WID Officer According to the Project Paperthe Mission isrecruiting region-wide for a WID Officer to implement the WID planThis project will fund the salary and expenses of the WID officeras well as activities included in the WID plan ROCAP intended to conduct the following activities as a part of this component under the supervision of the WID Officer

Initiate a regiohal WID newsletter

Identify key Central American womens issues and conduct research on solutions

Identify individuals and groups working in areas ofimportance to women and develop networks among them

e Strengthen analysis and actions called for in active and newROCAP projects to improve womens participation in the process and benefits of development

Provide assistance and research results to the other Central American USAIDS in WID matters

e Additional responsibilities are outlined on P23 Annex FProject Paper

Limited Scope Grant Agreement FEDEPRICAP was to conduct thefollowing activities under the Grant Agreement

Help finance the design organization and start-up of aregional WID newsletter to be published on a monthly basis

Establish or support intra-regional networking amongindividuals groups and organizations involved in WID areas

Ii

24 of interest One or more regional seminars or conferencescould be held to facilitate the networking process Specialstudies would be identified through these seminars and fundedto examine cross-cutting issues which affect women throughoutthe region This information could be made available to CAMissions to strengthen WID aspects of their projects

The Reality

1 WID Advisor was never hired

Although in sections of the text of the Project Paper a WID Advisorwas clearly identified as a key element of this component(IIID5) in other sections ie Technical Assistance for theProject (IIIB4) ROCAP Inputs (VIB) and in the IllustrativeBudget a WID Advisor Is neither mentioned nor budgeted

Washington did not approve funding for this position for theinitial year of the project but recommended that it be consideredfor the FY91 Project Paper Amendment (NPD cable State 284217August 24 This1990) decision was probably made before theProject Paper was finalized since the position was not included inthe budget However the text describing this component was notcorrected to reflect the changed position of ROCAP and thuspresented confusion as theto plans and management for this componentI

In reality the ROCAP Private Sector Officer oversaw the managementof the only remaining element thisof component the GrantAgreement to FEDEPRICAP

2 The Limited Scope Grant Agreement was signed with FEDEPRICAPfor $43050 with a PACD of September 1992 (This amount wasinclusive of the Education and Training Grant as well and is$42550 less than the total amount of $85600 shown in theIllustrative Budget in the Project Paper) The purpose of thegrant agreement was to provide funding to FEDEPRICAP to assistROCAP and the region in promoting and strengthening the role ofwomen in the development of Central America FEDEPRICAPsinvolvement was to include the development of an information andcommunications system preparation of informational newsletter andseminars and training activities

The following activities were completed under this Grant Agreementto promote WID activities

Policy Option Study Study was commissioned andcompleted -The Diagnosis of the Situation of WomenBusiness Leaders within the Business Structure in Central America and Panama

25 Regional Seminars or Workshops 3 Regional Seminars were

held

O II Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was held inGuatemala February 1991 30 Female Business Leaders fromthe Central American countries participated The resultsof the above study were presented and discussedAdditionally the process of organizing national womenbusiness leaders organizations within the legal frameworkof each country and the formation of a regional informationnetwork were discussed

o Training of Trainers Seminar was held in Costa Rica May1991 The one week seminar was conducted by the CentralAmerican Institute for Business Administrators (INCAE)Seminar topics included business doctrine techniques ofnegotiation development of personal skills and leadershipand communication Four female business leaders from eachof the 6 countries participated with a total participationof 24

III Regional Encounter of Women Business Leaders was heldin El Salvador November1991 with 30 participantsDiscussions centered around the design and finalincorporation of the most comprehensive database systemextant in Central America on women business and otherwomen leaders in development The system is to includeindividual profiles descriptions of relevantorganizations regional and extra-regional projectssupportive of womens development activities scholarshipsfor women bibliographies and selected macroeconomic dataon womens income and productive activities in CentralAmerica This information is being incorporated intoFEDEPRICAPs information system National Seminars or Workshops A total of 12 seminars wereheld of 3-5 days length (2 in each of the 6 countries)These seminars were an outgrowth of the Training of TrainersRegional Seminar In some instances additional topics wereadded to the program pending expertise among presenters Anaverage of 20 participants attended each seminar for a totalof 240

Persons with improved skills Approximately 270 femalebusiness leaders have improved their skills Computers (3) were given to the national businesswomenorganizations in El Salvador Honduras and Costa RicaThese groups have been the most effective in the region instrengthening and solidifying their database andinformation systems

Report Status

FEDEPRICAP has filed a report on the use of the Grant money See Attachment E

Outstanding items

1 Information system not fully operational with all participatingcountries

2 Three countries Guatemala Nicaragua and Panama are studyingthe formation of national women business leaders organizations

Analysis

Considering that the WID Advisor was never employed this componentof RDS was quite successful towards meeting the activities outlinedin the Project Paper Women business leaders were identified meton three occasions to share ideas common concerns and toparticipate in relevant training They commissioned a study tolend greater insight into the situation of women business leadersin Central America took the results of that study and acted uponit through training networking and initiating a database systemas a means to compile and share relevant information which affectstheir profession Although the system was initiated it is not yetoperational due to lack of funds

Recommendation

The full incorporation of the database system should beaccomplished An appropriate vehicle for this may be through thework of the Regional Information Clearinghouse (RIC) as outlined inAmendment 1 to the RDS Project If this is not possible then aconsideration to use some of the unprogrammed money of the RDSprior to the Amendment should be discussed

27 Component 6 Projeot Design and Support

The purpose of the Project Design and Support component was toprovide funds for technical assistance in support of the projectand for project design

The Plans

In order to provide the technical support for design and projectactivity the RDS Project was to fund one long-term PSC Advisor inproject design and short-term technical assistance in support ofproject activities The advisor or Project Design Officer would becontracted for an initial period of two years The followingbreakdown of funding levels are stated in the Illustrative Budgetin the Project Paper $294355 -Project Design Advisor $441130- Short-term Technical Assistance

The role of the Project Design Officer is described in theStatement of Work in Annex F p 25-27 of the Project PaperThe salient responsibilities included the following

To provide technical support in project development To assist in managing the short-term technical assistancepackage in the specific technical areas identified by thetechnical advisors in the component areas To take overall responsibility in designing theimplementation strategy and developing all the documentationrelated to the Regional Energy Policy Planning and EfficiencyProject Leadership Training Project Debt Conversion forDevelopment Project and the Institutional Strengthening ofINCAP Project and any other project identified during theimplementation of RDS

To assist participating institutions in the organization ofpolicy fora workshop and seminars and in the disseminationof policy dialogue studies and policy reform initiatives

The Reality

A full time Project Design Advisor was not hireddecision to contract ROCAP made theservices from two consultants for specificconsultancies on a set number of days per contract period insteadof a full-time advisor The following activities were conducted bythe consultants

Assisted in the design of the Student Loan Fund program asamendment to the Regional Agriculture Higher EducationProject (596-0129B)

28 Worked on design of scope of work for an evaluation of the Regional Agriculture Higher Education Project (596-0129A)

0 Assisted in design of Project Paper Supplement to the WoodUtilization and Market Development Activities Project (596shy0150)

Assisted in design of Institutional Strengthening Project of INCAP (596-0169)

Assisted in the design of Export Industry Technology SupportProject (EXITOS)

e Initiated first design steps for proposed Environmental Protection and Agricultural Growth Project (SEPAG)

a Coordinated RDS Amendment

Contributed to the design of the regional information clearinghouse

e Contributed to the development of the Missions trade and investment strategy for RDSS

Note Insome sections of the Project Paper Evaluation and Auditof the Project is included as a part of Component 6- in othersections it is shown as Component 7 The funding planned for thisactivity was $50000 of which $3430 has been obligated out of preshyamendment funding This document serves as the only activity whichfalls under the category of evaluation and audit to date

Reporting Status

The Project fiJes show no reports from the consultants summarizingtheir activities Reports may have not been requested of them Outstanding Items

There are still a significant number of work days funded with theconsultants under the pre-amendment committed funds It was notdetermined through this evaluation whether or not there is relatedwork yet to be accomplished under this Project

Analysis

Although a significant portion of the work accomplished by theconsultants did not fall within support of the 5 components ofenergy health education shelter and WID they were in supportof ROCAPs efforts in development of the region The efforts indesign of the Institutional Strengthening of INCAP and thedevelopment of the Regional Information Clearinghouse were vitaldirect contributions to the ROCAP portfolio

29

Recommendations

1 A review should be made of the contractual days remaining forthe consultants and the need for their assistance within the timeframe of their contracts If ROCAP is not in need of theirtechnical assistance then a review of the funds committed vsexpended should be made and excess funds should be deobligated and reprogrammed

34 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Regional Development Support Project was originally designed asa 5 year $25 million project authorized on September 4 1990Because of changes in the political and economic situation in theregion coupled with the resultant refocusing and refining ofpriorities and strategies by AIDW ROCAP and the regionalbilateral AID missions the RDS Project was amended to reflect thechanges The original project was written in such a way as torespond to fast emerging opportunities and problems in the regionThe amendment serves as a response to the changes This amendmentwas authorized on August 3 1992 adding $25 millionProject to theROCAP decided that the pre-amendment project activitiesshould be reviewed and evaluated in order to have a snapshot ofwhat occurred in the 23 months of project life pre-amendment Thisreport serves as that evaluation

Analysis

The goals and objectives of the original project were very broadand ambitious RDS served to support a myriad of program andproject efforts of ROCAP Because of the rapid changes in theregion ROCAP needed a vehicle which could respond programmaticallyto these changes with maximum flexibility The RDS Project wasdesigned as that vehicle

The purpose of the RDS Project was to assist ROCAP and the CentralAmerican private sector design alternative private sector-leddevelopment strategies and programs in energy housing healtheducation the promotion of democratic values and women indevelopment All component areas involved the private sector intheir activities FEDEPRICAP AUPRICA FEMICA and the emergingWomen Business Leaders Group have all moved forward in terms ofconsensus building problem identification and status as viableorganizations as a result of this project Other private-sectorgroups at both the national and regional levels especially thosein the Energy Component and Shelter andComponent Urban Developmentare actively involved in looking at new developmentstrategies And INCAP through the inputs of the Health andNutrition Component is moving in the direction of becoming afinancially viable regional institution

The one area which remained as part of the Project Purpose inspite of recommendations from AIDW that ROCAP should not pursueefforts initially was the promotion of democratic values Althoughnot explicit many activities within the component areas promoteddemocratic values The project offered the opportunity for bothpublic and private sector leaders from various disciplines toconvene to discuss issues problems and strategiesdevelopment forBoth the Energy Component through the CARES projectand the Shelter and Urban Development Component through the preshy

35 LOGROS activities serve as good examples of more directed effortsThe initial steps taken in this project whether explicitly orimplicitly towards the promotion of the democratic process makea logical transition to the Amendment emphasis on democraticinitiatives

The Project Paper itself presented a comprehensive yet confusingand at times contradictory outline of the nuts and bolts of theproject activities The areas of confusion are commented on withinthe Component section of this report and do notrestated need to beRegardless the Project made significant accomplishshyments in the 23 months of its planned 60 month lifeat the Outputs planned If one looksin the Logical Framework of the Project(Attachment A) the following accomplishments were realized Policy Option Studies 3 of 15 studies completed

20 toward goal Publications 1 out of 25 completed

4 toward goal 9 National Seminars 20 out of 25 conducted

80 toward goal Regional seminars 8 out of 5 conducted

160 toward goal Improved Skills 375 out of 100 persons

375 toward goal Policy Reforms 7 out of 5 initiated

140 toward goal

This Project is being evaluated at a point 38 into its plannedlife and with approximately 85 of its fundsprogrammed obligated andorThe accomplishments cited above therefore areimpressive Those categories which are percentage-wise behind theproject time status namely policy studies and publications arelonger-term efforts The changes in personnel plans in the WID andEducation and Training Components resultedcomponent activity in more limitedThis may also have had an effect on theseoutput levels Additionally studies and publications which wereoutputs of ROCAP projects supervised by the HealthNutritionAdvisor and Energy Advisor are not included above It needs to beemphasized that these two advisor positions were fully funded byRDS and thus accomplishments under activities they supervised areindirect accomplishments of this project The decision to amend RDS was appropriate in light of the changesand refocusing of ROCAPs Strategic Objectives and Action Plan forthe next several years The RDS Amendment complements ROCAPs goals

36 for the region The activities conducted and accomplishments ofpre-amendment RDS feed well into the amendment especially into thedevelopment of a Regional Information Clearinghouse Efforts weremade in several component areas in informationdevelopment of database systems gathering and

Hopefully the Clearinghouse willsupport the full development of these efforts

Recommendations

Programmatic

1 The databank systems of private university course offerings(AUPRICA) and of women businesses and leaders (FEDEPRICAP)should be established and become operational Either a tie-into the Clearinghouse or programming of unprogrammed projectfunds should be considered to complete these efforts 2 A determination should be made of the status of the project onjoint accreditation of AUPRICA Based on findingsrecommendation that funding or technical assistance be

a

provided may be in order

Personnel

1 The contractual status of the JealthNutrition Advisor shouldbe reviewed to ensure that there is an overlap of advisors ifthe present advisor does not remain until June 1995overlap is called for in the Amendment This The present advisor isunder contract through June 1993

2 A review should be made of the contractual status of theProject Design consultants and the continued need for theirservices If ROCAP is not in need of their services then areview of the funds couitted vs expended should be made andexcess funds should be reprogrammed

Reporting

1 Consideration should be made as to requiring some type ofreporting by short-term consultants after work performed forbetter tracking of accomplishments

2 Since no specific reporting was required andor requested forcomponent areas except the SAR suggest that future reportingfor SAR be more thorough and accurate 3 Because the Amendment will continue to fund the Energy Advisorand the Health and Nutrition Advisor consideration should bemade as to how to record indirect RDS accomplishments resultingfrom their supervision of ROCAP projects

37 Use of Unprogra mmed Funds

The total amount authorized for the length of the Project was$250000 Of that amount $1932291 was obligated leaving$567709 unprogrammed Of this amount $185000 was requested forthe one year extension of the HealthNutrition Advisor from 693thru 694 The remaining unprogrammed funds are in the amount of$382709 (Attachment D) It is recommended that a review be maderegarding the completion of the databank systems cited inProgrammatic Recommendation i1 above If funding is required tocomplete these systems then funds could be programmed to do sothrough the amended RDS Project Any remaining funds should thenbe reprogrammed to the amended RDS Project
