1.1 ECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1.1 OBJECTIVE The objective of the project is to contribute to poverty reduction, to improve food security and living conditions of the population in the project area. The specific objectives are to:

(i) Increase crop, livestock and fisheries production.

(ii) Diversify income generating activities.

(iii) Increase number of classrooms, health centers and potable water points.

(iv) Strengthen self-management and production capacities of the beneficiary

population.

(v) Protect river banks and degraded areas as well as identifying measures to

preserve biodiversity through the natural reserve parks of Waza and

Kalamaloue.

1.1.2 PROJECT OUTCOMES To achieve these objectives, the main outcomes are:

1. Crop, livestock and fishing production increased. 2. Income generating activities diversified. 3. Number of classrooms, health centres and potable water points increased. 4. Self-management and production capacities of the beneficiary population

strengthened. 5. River banks and degraded areas protected as well as measures to preserve

biodiversity through the natural reserve parks of Waza and Kalamaloue identified.

1.1.3 SCOPE (PLANNED VS. ACTUAL) The scope of the project is sub-divided into components based on the sub-sectors concerned and the consequences action to be conducted to achieve objectives and reach the main outcomes and impacts of the project. So the planned scope includes: (I) civil work, (ii) community development, (iii) sustainable crop production, (iv) sustainable animal and fish production and (v) natural resource management and biodiversity conservation. The scope of the project is maintained its main orientations. Nevertheless, within the components some changes were made to take into consideration the needs expressed by producers in their production systems. So the civil work component and the number of infrastructures were highly increased and some of them like water points for animals use are modified by innovative approach of using solar energy to pump water on a permanent basis for animals and even for the villagers. One animal water point is used by more than 10,000 cattle and about 15,000 small ruminants per year. Additional water points were constructed for irrigation purpose of vegetables, and other crops with high added value in the area particularly for women and youth. The actual challenge of the Cameroonian economy and specifically for the northern part is the poverty alleviation of this particular group of people. 1.3.4. Cost (planned vs. actual) The cost of the project at the appraisal stage has been overestimated for some components of the Project. In the implementation, internal adjustments within the components have been made to allow perform actions, not programmed or strengthen those programmed in term of quantities and scale. However, the overall cost of the project implementation was established with a remaining balance of nearly more than CFA + 1, 3 billion. This is mainly due to a reduction in the cost of some important infrastructures


7

programmed, fair mobilization of contingencies and the exchange rate of US dollar. More than 95% of programmed infrastructures are carried out but some disbursements are still awaited. 1.3.5. Implementation schedule (planned vs. actual) The implementation schedule at the beginning of the project was organized in a way that the civil work, community development and sustainable production, will be engaged in January 2012 and be accomplished in December 2014. As regards to the PMU, it will start in January 2010 and will end in December 2014; the services of a consultant would begin in January 2012 up to December 2014 (thus 36 months). The auditor should be mobilized in December 2011 and would wrap-up a month before the end of each year and it services are spread for 5 years. In the actual implementation of the project, taking into account the contingencies surrounding the operation of the project and part of the work, that is once concerning the socioeconomic infrastructures for small scale, a tiny part of the action of community development and sustainable production had been initiated in 2011 but all of those action have been suspended for managerial problems. It was only from July 2013 that all of the shares and infrastructures have resumed and finalized in 22 months. The PMU stated in February 2010, the services of the consultant in December 2012 (for 36 months) and the auditor have operated in accordance with the original schedule. 1.3.6. Outputs (planned vs. actual) The activities undertaken in the framework of this project are within the components identified at appraisal. That is civil works (infrastructures) to increase production and ameliorate productivity in agriculture, livestock and fish production, strengthening capacities of producers', building capacity to ensure the sustainable use of infrastructures and common used natural resources The implementation of the programme in term of civil works had resulted with the rehabilitation of more than 1,300 hectares of irrigated perimeters, the construction of two sluice dams, construction of 68 water points for human use (55 boreholes and 13 well rehabilitated at the beginning of the project), 32 classrooms constructed/rehabilitated and equipped, 07 open air slaughterhouses constructed in each head quarter of councils (two head quarters are not concerned because the characteristics of the localities), 02 cattle markets constructed instead of one, a fish market with a cold room and a landing stage constructed, 13 vaccination parks, 19 boreholes for agricultural use, 08 boreholes equipped with solar energy pumping system for both livestock and human use, 04 health centres constructed/rehabilitated and equipped with basic materials avec modern water distribution system. A modern slaughterhouse constructed in Kousseri. The civil works done are more important than planned (in number and quality). With regard to the community development, an important number of producers' organizations are putted in place to manage the entire infrastructures in a sustainable way as well as to handle the input acquisitions and products sell for a better price. The CVCA in six sub-divisions have been rehabilitated or created, micro-projects are elaborated with producers for credit through loan line. A specific monitoring system has been organized to be sure that the money borrowed was used for the production purpose. The project area, a total amount of CFA 880 million was distributed with an adequate follow-up by the Project. Nevertheless, the Credit de Sahel is not well organized to tackle the issue due to lack of human resource and adequate procedure according the agreement signed between the Bank, the Governor and the microfinance structure. In the area of agriculture, livestock and fishering, the main actions were base on the improvement of production techniques, amelioration of productivity and diversification of the income sources with a sustainably way. As estimation of the gross income indicated


8

that more than CFA 16 billion (around US$ 32 million) has been created in less than three years (mostly in é years). The sustainable natural resource management was focused on the restoration of nearly 1,000 hectares of degraded land, the establishment of 40,000 seedlings (forestry plants) in the public places and some private areas, the implementation of a "platform" of dialog and conflict management was organized in the Logone floodplain where transhumance is developed. The action relating to the conservation of biodiversity was focused on the definition of new boundaries of the Kalamaloue National Park. A map of the park has been established through the geographical information system (GIS). The surroundings population has been sensitized. As regards to the Waza National Park, the biodiversity conservation actions have been determined for the second phase as planned on appraisal stage. The sustainability of all the actions was be taken into consideration for any specific activity (or infrastructure), that is a participatory approach and the management committees. 1.3.7. Impacts, sustainability (prospects), and project ratings The delay in the implementation of the various actions of the project and the report period (just at the end of the project) don't allow indentifying clearly the real impacts of the project. However the results obtained and preliminary impacts on gross revenue estimated augur of significant impacts for the coming years. The estimation made on the agricultural production (cereals, vegetable and cowpea), the meat equivalent of cattle and small ruminant product, the additional quantity of milk induced, the revenue from fish farming are the real indication of the future impacts of the Project. In various discussions within different forums on development issues in the Farnorth region. 1.3.8. Other significant issues, recommendations and follow-up action In the framework of the implementation of this project, in accordance with the needs clearly indicated by the producers, the aspects to be strengthened are those related to the availability of inputs in relevant timescale and quantities. The pane strengthening technical capacities of producers seem to be fundamental because it had never been taken into account by the various projects and programs and even by the local representatives of ministries in charge of training farmers. This capacity building is the key action for the rural development that has to be considered by existing projects or future programs/projects. Producers in the project area are poorly trained. Char-Logone project has organized a large number of training sessions (innovative production techniques, using of new varieties and materials, etc...). The new important challenge for the area is the practicability of roads in rising season. The second phase most has as part of objective to tackle this issue. The other crucial issue is the employment of youth and the marginal people.

Sluice dams in the Lake Chad area At appraisal stage one dam was programmed for Chouara's distributaries in Blangpua subdivision. Socioeconomic infrastructures The infrastructures concerned are those to support agriculture and livestock production, others to ameliorate livelihood conditions in the rural area (water points, health centres, classrooms and slaughterhouses.) In total, the civil work programme at appraisal is:

Rehabilitation and /construction of classroom; Construction of health centres; 25 waters points for human use (16 boreholes with hand pumps and 9 wells

covered with large diameter); 01 modern slaughterhouse. 07 slaughter areas with water sources, drying and possibility of hides and skins. 20 Vaccination Park; Rehabilitation of 3 pools and 1 artesian well for livestock water supply. 1 fish market stalls with the wind. 1 landing site at Blangoua. 1 cattle market. 10 community grain store. 1 water storage dam and sluice protection distributaries at Chouara. Rehabilitation of perimeters at Zimado (400 ha) and Ndou (170 ha). Construction/rehabilitation of 21 offices for support services.

SUPPORT TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT At appraisal, the action related to community development that has highlighted concerns with the:

Support for basic economic organizations (micro finance institutions, cooperative

associations of producers, women, youths, artisans etc.),

Development and updating of local plans of development,

Strengthening of producer organizations, their professionalism and their self-

management capabilities,

Creating and strengthening of Village Savings and Credit Self-managed (CVECA)

Financing awareness raising, information, communication with communities,

leadership development groups, seminars and exchange of experience,

Due to the institutional changes and the decentralization process, the Government with World Bank support have developed a national program, "Programme National de Développement Participatif (PNDP)" to prepare the local development plans for all the councils and financed the priorities through subsidies.

SUSTAINABLE CROP, LIVESTOCK AND FISHING PRODUCTION Crop production

Introduces techniques to improve crop productivity; Diversification of income generating activities (market gardening, Marketing,

packaging and processing of products); Access to microcredit by the establishment of a credit line.


15

Livestock and Fishing Production Diversified of income generating activities (fish farming, intensification of

livestock production in the short cycle (poultry, small livestock); Rational Management pasture; Animal health care; Support, consulting and training for the fishermen toward using of proper

equipment, i.e. fishing equipment. Strengthening of fish harvesting control; Acquisition of 15 motorized canoes and 15 life-jackets. Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, Extension developed by FAO.

NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT The activities planned are:

Concerted delimitation growing areas, paths and community forests. Management of concerted cross-border transhumance (vaccination and

determination of transhumance animals, spatial occupation, date of departure and return).

Realization of forest and fruit tree nurseries. Setting defense mechanisms and land restoration (DRS) such as erosion control

bounds filter.

Civil work The main changes are: the number of infrastructures programmed and executed. At the appraisal most of the component is overestimated for most of the important infrastructure. So for some of them, the executed number is doubled (thus, the infrastructures such as: dams, rehabilitation of irrigated perimeters or livestock markets). On the other hand, the construction of offices and buying cars for civil servants was left to ministries responsibilities (especially for the ministry in charge of livestock. In total, the major changes were positive and are in the interest of rural people (producers) for whom action and activities have been oriented. The rural electrification was introduced to ameliorate the living

Sustainable Crop There are no major changes for sustainable crop production apart the lack of pertinent human resources in this domain at the beginning of the project. Things are changed with modification on PMU staff members. The estimation of the gross added revenue for crop production for the last years of implementation was about CFA 10 527,200,000 (around US$ 20 million). Livestock and Fishing Production As indicated for the crop productions there are no major changes even if the implication of the state civil servant was fair according to the fishing control. The global results obtained are relevant, the gross revenue created in the animal and fish productions is estimated at CFA 5 331 782 600 (around US$ 10 million).

IX. MAJOR CHANGES EXPERIENCED DURING IMPLEMENTATION

SUMMARY OF THE MAJOR CHANGES EXPERIENCED DURING PROJECT

IMPLEMENTATION COVERING KEY AREAS

Item Major Changes Experienced During Implementation

Key Comments, Observations, Conclusions

1. Economy The economy of the project area is closely tied to the national economy. In this way, Cameroon, like most of the developing countries, which began its evolution toward and industrialized country, presents up to now an economic situation characterized by a strong dominance of the rural sector, a low industrialization, an inflationary trend, which gives a rate of economic growth relatively low to ensure a genuine growth leading the country to the emergence within the timescale. The main criteria for convergence, despite a clear improvement still remain weak. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is fairly low in view of the real potential and its rate of growth, does not allow an increase of the economy in real term. In addition, the inflationary pressures were important up to 2013. The main solution is the diversification of the products that have to be exported that means most of the raw products have to be transformed.

The Project action is focused on revenue increase and diversification is covering the main constraints of national and local economy. The conducted actions need to be consolidated to fully permit the rural people in the area prior to the welfare amelioration and to contribute to the national economy in the other hand. Efforts have to be made to transform most of the products.

2. Main Sector

As for the national economy, the rural sector remained the best one for the intended economy growth. The substantial changes are due to the market prices in the last 2 - 3 years of project implementation.

Global economical context is slowly changing and by the end of this year the price situation will be better and the producers who are ready to produce more will surely increase their production (and income.

3. Sub- Main sub-sectors concerned are agriculture, The coming months and years are


27

sector husbandry and fish production. The above situation is seemly transferred to these sub-sectors.

promising; a second phase will be highly recommended and waited by all the rural populations for whom the action and infrastructures are realized. They are fully ready through capacity building and with the new techniques of production at their disposal.

4. Project

Objectives

The objective of the project is to contribute to poverty reduction, to improve food security and living conditions of the population in the project area. The specific objective is to: (i) increase, crop, livestock and fisheries production; (ii) diversify income generating activities; (iii) increase number of classrooms, health centres and potable water points; (iv) strengthen self-management and production capacities of the beneficiary population; and (v) protection of river banks and degraded areas as well as identifying measures to preserve biodiversity through the natural reserve parks of Waza and Kalamaloue. These objectives are remained unchanged.

All the planned objectives are achieved.

Scope/

Components To achieve these objectives, there are 5 main components that are developed: Civil work, community development, sustainable production and environmental protection.

Some components are readjusted to take into consideration the real needs of producers. All project actions are oriented to rural populations; the participatory approach is best way to ameliorate their welfare, acting on their real preoccupation and the main production constraints.

Civil Work The socioeconomic and the hydro-agricultural infrastructure development have contributed to reinforce the action of the Project. The land, availability of rice production is highly ameliorated for producers. It is the same for the level of production. The major changes concerned the number of infrastructures which are multiplied even by 2 for big part due to financial availability.

Civil Work The infrastructures constructed for rural people are relevant, technically of best quality and easy for maintenance by rural people. Community based small management organizations are the best way to assure sustainability

Support for community development The producers of the project area are well organized to be aware of the sustainability of the production actions and infrastructures. The way that those infrastructures are managed by the producers now is a good indicator to the future sustainability. So the main changes in this area this strategically approach of implication of the main actors to take over the management of the infrastructures and common use spaces. The support on community development is very important tool of project success.

Support for community development It is very important in a Project like PDRI to ensure the sustainability of the infrastructures by organizing producers to take care of them. The local authorities are part of the organization


28

Sustainable Crop Production of improved and certified seeds; Rehabilitation of areas to produce rice and vegetables on more than 1,300 hectares; Introduction of new high-yield varieties of rice, vegetables, cowpea and soya bean; Protection from flood of more than 10,000 hectares of maize and cowpea around Lake Chad area for the production of at least 25,000 tons of maize per year.

Sustainable Crop Organizations of producers are able to respect the raining season or irrigated crop calendars; Capacities are building to take over the management of heavy investment (sluice dams, large scale irrigation land, etc.) Elaboration of projects and raising funds (though loan line mainly).

Livestock and Fisheries During the implementation of the project, the main changes for these issues concerned the:

Improvement and the living conditions of the population.

Securing food of the populace and the surplus sell of fish, poultry, beef, sheep and goats,

The increase of producers income;

The substantial reduction in mortality of small ruminants, cattle and poultry.

Fish production is important following the creation of nursery centre.

The implementation of new innovations and techniques to enable increase in quantity and quality of products;

The increase in production of forages crops (brachiaria and stylosanthes), which had positive effect in animals.

Livestock and Fisheries The implementation of project activities went well despite the difficulties encountered: The inaccessibility of most areas during the raining season is a big constraint of selling fresh fish; Inappropriate techniques of production for the important products have to be tackle all over the project zone.

Location(s) The project location is not changed. Furthermore, as indicated on the appraisal, the Mayo Danay division will be concerned with the second phase, But with the news actions and projects in this area, the second phase has to be concentrated on the same area facing numbers of constraints.

The news actions are concentrating to SEMRY structure for rice production on more than 8,000 ha. The new project is this one supported by World Bank for a total amount of CFA 54 billion (around US$ 108 million) for regional management as a whole.

Cost The Total cost of the project is remained unchanged, but the contribution of OFID is modified (from US$ 7 million to 6 million) and the contribution of government was consequently modified to take into account the gap of CFA 500 million.

All the three financing agencies have respected the planned amount. The disbursements were not relevant and the OFID-IDB couple was not well operational for disbursements procedures.

Financing

Plan

The financing plan had not been changed completely. It is just the amount planned for the OFID funds that was being reduced and consequently the counterpart contribution was increased.

An efficient financing plan will be rigorously applied for a better implementation of any other Project. And a delay in mobilizing funds planned has an important impact on project outputs because the contractors are not totally engaged if the payments are not going on just after accomplishing of contracts.

Implementa

tion

Schedule

The implementation schedule is linked to the financing plan and the capacity of the PMU staff to manage the difficulties by anticipating problems and solutions. Most of the delay is the result of lack of disbursements in time scale and the fair management capacity of the PMU at the beginning (particularly the

All the actors have to sure that financing plan will be respected according to the implementation schedule and the PMU staff are totally has the relevant management capacity.


29

coordinator). Procurement

Procedures There are no changes on procurement procedures, there were only but the procurement and the financing plan and the action programmed are not fully respected.

All the procurement procedures and the possible modifications have to be known at the appraisal level. The changing in internal procedures has to be in conformity with the international standards. The agreement signed must be the reference instead of internal procedures.

Executing

Agency

Any changes are noted according to executing agency apart from the acceleration of the disbursement of the counterpart funds (more than CFA 1 billion in less than two years)

The executing agency and the PMU staff have to work in a regulator base to ovoid misunderstandings and CAA will be informed by the Governor if the is some change.

PMU Due to mismanagement of the project at the beginning for more than 3 years, adjustments have been done to boost the implementation. After the first period the level of the physical and financial realizations as so limited.

The main problem of the PMU at this moment is the disbursements problems for those contractors waiting for long time. Some of them are gone to court of for judiciary procedures.

Partners All the partners have been mobilized after the change made in the PMU staff and the positive attitude of all of them was a key element for the relevant results of the Project.

The PMU have to be closer to the executing agency and it has to be fully aware of management problems by anticipating actions, proposing relevant solutions and has to be in contact with the Bank in permanent base. Project implementation needs a strong PMU particularly a good coordinator and other partners. That is the main weakness of the PMU at the beginning of the Project.

Crédit du

Sahel (a

Particulaire

Partner)

At the project appraisal only one Micro finance agency is retained to manage the loan line of CFA 1 billion; the agreement and the procedures' manual are not respected by the structure. That is in term of procedure and scope of the financing activities (and the amount also). Monitoring in field reveals that producers are not satisfied at all. Many problems are raised during the credit distribution. PDRI has mobilized three structures to monitor all the process on the field

Action has to be taken to solve this crucial problem of the loan line by clarifying the responsibilities of the different actors and the role of the project. The activities to be financed and the amount that can be submitted is another problem presented by producers among others. The use of the revolving funds has to be discussed deeply.

Consultants For the main consultant, who is in-charge of all technical studies, preparation of procurement documents and monitoring of the execution of infrastructures, the programmed human resources is not fully mobilized and those who are available are relatively fair in experience and capacity for technical studies and elaboration of documents of tender. The other expertise has been mobilized to achieve the documents.

The process of recruitment of this consultant has to be very rigours with a relevant shortlist coming from bother the Bank and the Cameroonian Government. In the other hand the amount paid has to be consequently important to mobilize all the needed expertise.

Contractors/

Suppliers

There are no major changes with contractors, service suppliers; the main problem remained the non-payment of most of the OFID financing action and delay of IDB payments. Two contractors had abandoned the work for non-payment of their first 'bill" all of them financed by OFID funds, some of them went to

When the contracts are signed and the work done, the delays of payment have to be known by all the actors. According to the procedure (Bank's internal procedure), the approximately date of payment has to be communicated to the project or to the CAA in order to inform


30

the justice for the same reasons. other actors (contactors and Ministry of publics contracts)

Local

Beneficiaries

The beneficiaries change the attitude to project when the real action was conducted, from July 2013 up to the end of the project. They have very positive appreciation of the project actions.

Any project must have a well developed strategy towards the beneficiaries according to the action that have to be conducted by integrating them at the beginning stage and have to be informed if any problem arises during the implementation period.

Other - Local authorities

The implication of the local authorities (traditional, administrative, councillors) is a key to project success, they are playing an important role on the village level for conflict resolution (for example). Those actors have been integrated as part of the Project implementation.

At appraisal stage, traditional rulers and local authorities have to be considered as actor's foot the implementation of the Project. However their role has to clearly define.

PART-2: PROJECT IN CONTEXT

A. PROJECT CONTEXT AND RATIONALE

SUMMARY OF THE CONTEXT AND RATIONAL FOR THE BANK

ASSISTANCE.

SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES IN THE ABOVE DURING IMPLEMENTATION

Cameroon Government is committed to the improvement of the growth of its economy based on the rural sector for almost four years. The rural sector is one of the key relevant sectors to be activated for boosting the country’s economy for the purpose of poverty alleviation and creating jobs for the youth. In addition, the areas subject to the problems of insecurity are those who come in priority. In doing so, the action of the Bank in the Logone and Chari division is an anticipation of the current strategy of the Cameroonian Government in the development in those particular areas. On the overall plan, the Bank is one of the partners whose support in constantly increasing. In this perspective, the Bank led a mission in February 2015 for a triennial programming of its support in Cameroon. It is important to note that the financial requirements of the country are concentrated in seven main areas among others. That is (i) road infrastructure, (ii) port infrastructure, airports and railway; (iii) the energy infrastructure and hydraulic, (iv) adjustments stalled, (v) industrial infrastructure and mining, (vi) urban development and social and (vii) information technology and tourism. The bank, to support the development of Cameroon, envisaged for the coming three years in seven specific areas, (1) agriculture and rural development, (2) infrastructure, (3) human development, (4) livestock, fisheries and animal industries, (5) water and sanitation, (6) scientific research and (7) energy and transport. The total number of projects to be funded during the next three years is 14 for a total amount of around CFA 349.11 billion and the contribution of the IDB could be CFA 279.29 billion including US$ 30 billion for phase II of the Chari-Logone Project and the components will be within the framework of the programme.

B. PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND COMPONENTS THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

The objective of the project is to contribute to poverty reduction, to improve food security and living conditions of the population in the project area. The specific objective is to: (i) increase, crop, livestock and fisheries production, (ii) diversify income generating activities, (iii) increase number of classrooms, health centres and potable water points, (iv) strengthen self-management and production capacities of the beneficiary population, (v) and protection of river banks and degraded areas as well as identifying measures to preserve biodiversity through Waza national park.

3. HOW EACH PROJECT COMPONENT CONTRIBUTES TO ACHIEVING THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

Civil work Support for community development

Sustainable crop, livestock and fish production Natural resource management

Civil work: The implementation of civil work facilitated access to water, to health centres for the population. The Project constructed open air slaughterhouses, storage structure, and vaccination parks for animals. These infrastructures will help significantly the population to improve their production and their welfare. The water management to secure more than 1,300 ha for rice production and vegetables. Sluice dams to secure more than 10,000 ha were maize for at least a total production of 25,000 tons per year. Support for community development The Project supports the community development (training, sensitization, diagnostic…). Building capacity for innovative techniques for crop production and productivity, the sustainability of infrastructures was totally integrated. Sustainable crop, livestock and fish production: This component contributes to achieve the objectives by innovative action, such as fish and poultry breeding. The target group increased the quantity of fish and poultry, and also their income. Action on crop production is very relevant because the amelioration of yield and productivity have impacted significantly the total production in the area. That is an important mean of improving income for rural population. Natural resource management: This component contributes to reforestation by planting trees in the area of the Project. The Kalamaloue and waza National Parks are the main protected areas in the Far north Region. And the biodiversity is concentrated is those two parks. Do to so, limits of kalamaloue national park was identified and secured. The surroundings populations are fully sensitized on the importance to preserve the natural resources around the zone. Studies have been conducted in Waa National Park to clarify the actions that can be done there to reinforce the protection of the wildlife in this National Park in the second phase.

MAJOR CHANGES EXPERIENCED DURING IMPLEMENTATION:

1. CIVIL WORK

The main changes are first of all in the number of infrastructures programmed and executed. The executed numbers are more than planned (rehabilitation of irrigated perimeters, sluice dams, livestock markets, water points). On the other hand, the construction of offices and buying cars for civil servants had been considered as the responsibilities of the government through the traditional state budget, all those offices are build by the Government nowadays. In total the major changes are positive and are in interest of rural people (producers) for whom action and activities have been oriented. Last, the rural electrification was introduced to ameliorate the living conditions of rural populations. In the project area there is no electrified village or town except Kousseri.

2. SUPPORT ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

It is very important for Projects to ensure the sustainability of the infrastructures implemented by organizing producer to take care of them. In this perspective for all the infrastructures, management committees are in place. It is the same for common use resource.

3. SUSTAINABLE CROP, FISH AND LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

Respect of cultural calendar (timescale).

Building of sluice dams permits water control and allows crops to complete the vegetative cycle

(maize).

Introduction of principles of depreciation process for infrastructures in producer's capacity

building.

Training of produces remained the key factor for sustainability of projects' actions.

Implementation of project activities was well conducted despite some difficulties.

Inaccessibility of markets because of the lack of roads in the raining season is the most important

constraint in the area at this moment.

The second phase of the project has to tackle this issue.

4. BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ACTION THROUGH WAZA AND KALAMALOUÉ NATIONAL PARKS

No major changes are observed and the actions implemented are: Determination of the new limits for Kalamaloue national park.

Elaboration of a map indicating the level of degradation of natural resource through GIS process.

Identification of all the surrounding villages and people for the real implication in natural resource

protection within the park.

Organization of information campaigns for the biodiversity conservation.

Organization of seminars for Capacity building for the staff of the park ;

Ecological monitoring System and inventory's techniques are made available.

Identification of main actions for the conservation of biodiversity within the Waza National Park.

5. PMU

Member's staff totally aware with rules, regulations and procedures.

Creation of core experts according to the Loan Agreement procedures and Cameroonian Rules and

Regulations.

Development of working capacity towards achievement of the Project objectives, outputs and

outcomes

Develop a capacity to be closer to the main actors or partners of the project to facilitate the

procedures and integrated the changing in Cameroonian institutional environment.

Finalization of log frame and all relevant documents according to the Agreement and needs of the

execution agency.

Development of Participatory Approach to closer with producers and to be able to introduce

innovation.

6. ADMINISTRATIVE AND TRADITIONAL AUTHORITIES

The implication of the local authorities (traditional, administrative, councilors) is a key element of project success, they are playing an important role on the village level for conflict regulations for example. Those actors have been integrated since 2013 as part of the major actors in the field, so they are fully mobilized for the success odd the Project.

D. PROJECT DESIGN AND READINESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION

1. The Chari-Logone Integrated Rural Development Project which the evaluation is based on the feasibility study conducted by the LCBC in early 2000 to engage a cross-border project between Chad and Cameroon, has been influenced in the action chosen for this specific project. In addition, the team of the evaluation has seemed to be not equilibrated in term of subsectors concerned for their constraints in the process of production. Most of action is oriented to animal production, fish harvesting control and the buildings of animal and fishing for civil servants. For these reasons, producers are not fully aware of what exactly the project has to do for them. At the launching of seminar, questions were raised from all the representatives of producers, village leaders, traditional rulers and the mayors to be fully informed for the project actions presented their main constraints for the area in term of rural integrated development. Indeed, the aspects of preparation of instruments for implementation have not fully integrated the populations as main actors by whom and for whom the relevance of outputs is oriented. As well the initial action undertaken by the project was different from those adopted in the assessment document and non-logged in a work plan duly validated by the relevant structures (Comité de pilotage, Minister of Economy and the Bank). It is sure that, the experts of the Bank have made important efforts to straighten the project in its starting phase with several supervision missions falling within the relevant conclusions and recommendations often neglected in their execution by lack of a strategic framework and an operational planning. It is same for the implementing agency that has led several missions to control and supervision with specific recommendations. In addition, the fitting to the evaluation has differentiated as much as possible, the implementation of actions and activities are organized though components "clearly defined" but the lack of vision and clear understanding by the PMU member's staff bad led to a blocking of the project for more than three (3) years. The government and the Bank in their engagement to contribute to the development of the region concerned (among the poorest country) where food insecurity and poverty particularly of young people and women are really present. In this context, measures have been taken both for the management


46

purpose of the project and the mobilization of the necessary resources. Thus, the PMU has been reorganized by change some key members staff (including the coordinator) It is important to note that in less than two years, the Government has mobilized more than CFA 1, 3 billion as counterpart finances. The project has thus taken a new flight path with the accompaniment of the different partners and especially the effective involvement of local populations engaged by the new team. The project has taken a normal direction to the implementation of the action programmed with a tightening of the real needs of the farmers in the area; whether they are farmers, animal producers, fishermen or actors of the different value chains. It is therefore from May 2013 that the different working tools have been developed (strategic framework, operational planning, annual Work Plan consistent with the objectives of the project). The change in the institutional framework of public procurement was be tackle by the coordinator, he had requested to the Minster in charge of Publics Contract to allow the project to go faster by creating a special commission and the Minister accepted, and this procedure was ended in November 05, 2013 with the designation of all the members and the appointment of the chair person. It is within those time constraints that the implementation of project had begun (in November 2013). This project was supposed to implement within 5 years but the national context imposed only 2 year and 6 months in total. Whatever, all the planned actions are conducted and infrastructures are constructed, well appreciated by actors.

2 DESIGN AND READINESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION FOR EACH DIMENSION OF PROJECT Project Design and Readiness for Implementation Dimensions

Assessment Rating Score (0-4)

Realism Project complexity was matched with country capacity and political commitment.

The Chari-Logone Project as well in its fitting that in its implementation addressed the main issues of the rural sector to allow a reduction of poverty and the creation of jobs. These essential guidelines of public authorities are reflected in the strategic documents (DSCE, Vision 2035, strategy the rural sector development, the Government Priority Investment Program and the Three Years Emergency Plan).

3.5

Risk Assessment and Mitigation

Project design included adequate risk analysis.

In the fitting of the project, part of the risks has been taken into account. However, the internal procedures of the Bank have not been considered as risk. The important issue is the role of administrator of OFID funds with the clearances system. When the clearances are not delivered at time it is a bug risk in term of respecting delays. That is one of the major problems projects facing in this crucial period of closing process; that is why the mitigation measures become difficult to identify and apply. The natural resource scarcity mainly the fish was be mitigated by the introduction of fish farming. In the other hand the resilience of lake Chad basin was be considered by reinforcing actions and activities on producers around this area with innovated production techniques to permit them to integrate the change in climate and modification of the production timescale (new crops or varieties are introduced).

3

Compliance with agreed procurement procedures

Project procurement procedures were based on those indicated on Loan agreement and the new rules and regulations in publics contracts introduced later.

All the procedures laid down in the Loan Agreement including the sections 7.02 and 7.03 of Article VII have been respected. At the national level, the procedures for contracting and payments of invoices are in conformity with those of the project. But the procedures are very long for a project with tied period and particularly for Chari-Logone project

E. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION 1. Major characteristics of project implementation

Based on above mentioned elements, the Chari-Logone Rural integrated Development Project is one of the flagship projects of the government in the Far North Region. The outputs and outcomes of the project are beyond than expected. The fitting of the project in its costs and its programming are substantial in their entirety. However, at appraisal most of the costs were not clearly defined according the actions to be conducted, probably by lack of repository of costs of some infrastructures at the feasibility period (around 1999). The planned actions were not able be respected, because among others, of the delay in producing basic documents, some mismanagement problems by the first PMU staff, fair definition of responsibilities of different actors at beginning, fair disbursements of funds. Then the delay of the initial the implementation period was so important (after 52 months the level of physical realization is around 3.8% for financial disbursement of 4.5%). So the implementation period as planned at the appraisal is totally out of the main expectations. Nevertheless, most of the actors and porters were not totally aware of this crucial problem of the delay of beginning that to be taking in to consideration at the closing time of the project. All the efforts and work done were mostly in two years and the outcomes were well appreciated by the main actor in the field (even though the infrastructures and all the planned actions are undertook in less than 24 months instead of 60 months). However, the Bank which is at the same time administrator of the OFID funds was fairly managed this aspect and has caused great delays in the payments the contractors. It should be noted that up to the end of December, nearly 60% of the OFID funds are not disbursed for lack of Clearances from IDB. But the last measures took will give expected results by clearing all the pending payments and OFID could be able to close the first phase of the project and can be engage don the second phase. Have not done the necessary work and either at the level of the services of the debt in Cameroon or at the level of the OFID, the decisions have to taking quickly. All the funds, for different partners, are mobilized in these few months and due to numbers of payments and the tied period, the total amount was not paid completely probably the project has be closed without paying part of the contractors. This issue has been presented to the Government for a clear closure of the Project. Part of the payments was due to actions conducted at the beginning but justifications were not clear even if the woks were done by enterprises At this closing period, the major changes, as indicated above, cover the adjustments within components to take into account the real needs of the populations on production with the climate change consequences which are the main challenges at the moment. In doing so, the actions of restoration of degraded lands have been strengthened, the introduction of varieties adapted to the water conditions has been committed, the diversification of sources of income has been oriented on the market gardening and the vegetables in the areas closed to the consumers particularly in the urban surroundings areas and in the vicinity of Lake Chad. The access to markets is also has to be taken as one of the important constraints in the area. Lastly, with the new challenge of unemployment, the issue of youth and vulnerable people has to be considered.

Performance of Partners Assessment Rating Score (0-4)

Performance of Beneficiaries This partner have been fully implicated and his implication was one of the important keys of the project success

3.5

Performance of Contractors Part of the contractors which are professionals had done a good job without been paid for their services which cost more than CFA 2 billion from OFID and with some outstanding with IDB.

3

Performance of representatives of main ministries concerned (agriculture, husbandry and fishing, forestry and wildlife, public work, environment, publics contracts)

All the action oriented to the innovations and towards producers is made mainly by those representatives through protocols signed with the project. Some of them are fair in the experience and even trained by the project to do the job they are supposed to do on the field. The project was also an opportunity for them for building their capacities on some relevant.

Bank provided quality management oversight; feedback to the beneficiary.

By the Bank: The management provided oversight was not well organized, probably because the number of project managed by one project officer within the bank. The system has to change as projects were increasing in number. The Feedback was also fair for more long time. The disbursements problems were those of the core ones for the project implementation. Without the clear feedback of what happens up there, it is difficult to proposed a adequate solution

Changes in contract's amounts

Difference in Original and Final Contract Amount The modification of amounts was only for the landing (related to the fish market): Original contract amount: CFA 128,161,004 Final contract amount: CFA 153,111,540

Reasons: The main reason is the appreciation of the distance between the Chari river (the lowest level) and the fish market. The first estimation done by the consultant (the permanent one) is 24 meters and the real distance was 32 meters, so the amount was be adjusted to have a landing site of 32 meters instead of 24 for an optimal use of the infrastructure at any moment of the year.

(II). Additional Outputs Due to the main constraints on the field, some outputs are not captured in log frame. Those outcomes concerned the aquaculture that with high level added value, the amelioration of living conditions trough the rural electrification using solar energy. The production of forage is another innovation highly appreciated by farmers. The actions on vegetables are the main source of revenue for the producers. Support on seeds and small materials produced important effects on production and productivity.

ACHIEVEMENT OF OUTCOMES

Expected Outcomes Actual Outcomes Rating Score (0-4)

1. Food production substantially increased.

The population's cereal needs of the project intervention area are estimated at 118,000 tons per year, according to the FAO norms. From 590 000 inhabitants and Logone and Chari Division, more than 170,000 people are not satisfying their cereals consumption needs. Indeed the gap or deficit in cereal is about 34,000 tons per year. The project's actions focused on the increase of the sustainable crop production allow an extra producing of 54,444 for the last two years that means an annual supplementary production of 27,222 tons per year. So the remaining gap is less than 7,000 tons per year and the impacts are yet increasing. In the other hand, the cash crop generated total revenue of CFA 4 billion which can partly be used to realize food self-sufficiency.

3.75

2. Livestock production substantially increased

For the livestock and fishing productions, the project implementation created a total cash revenue of CFA 5, 3 billion (Cattle meat; Milk production; Small ruminant and poultry). In the other hand the increase in their income enables them to satisfy all their basic needs. The actions of the project are succeeded to reduce small ruminant, cattle and poultry mortality in a sustainable way. Some innovative techniques of forage production were introduced to ameliorate the availability of pasture in the area (Bracharia and Stylosanthes), which had a positive effect in animal production have to be reinforced.

3.5

3. Fishing production substantially increased

The fish production is mainly ameliorated trough the introduction of aquaculture, knowing that the resource in rivers and Lake Chad are strongly diminishing due to the irrational management by the civil servants and fishermen. The project had created a nursery centre for this purpose. The direct revenue from the aquaculture conducted by 12 producers is about CFA 35,000,000 just for a first experience. The demands and people interested by the actions were around 900 groups and individuals. The way to sustainable increase of fish production has to combine aquaculture and better management of natural resources in the rivers and Lake. The control and the application of rules and regulations are the main problems. The Ministry in charge of fishing has to develop strategies to increase the number of patrols and change the mentality of the civil servant in charge of control, their capacity was reinforced for this perspective.

2.5

4. Number of classrooms, health centre and water points increased.

The number of classrooms has little bit increased; the actions of the project in this sub-sector are not very substantial, only 32 classrooms are constructed/rehabilitated within the amount allocated for the action. But the remaining needs or the project area is low, it is around 75 classrooms. A special action is ongoing for the construction of the classrooms by the Government so the gap will be covered at the end. The important needs are concentrated on the construction and equipments of health centres. The four (04) health centres

62

constructed and equipped by the project are increasing significantly the carrying capacity of the sanitary structures. Most of the equipments are highly appreciated by the actors because it seems to be the best ones in the project area. For the Water points, the number was significant (62) and increases the potential of the area. Nevertheless, the needs, according to the norms are still important, it is 1,637 water points.

5. Protection of river banks and erosion threatened area as well as measures for the biodiversity preservation through the natural park reserves of Waza and Kalamaloue.

This component contributes to reforestation by planting trees in the area of the Project. The Kalamaloue National Park has delimited by the Project, nameplates have put in place to explain the different information of this protected area. Studies have been conducted in Waza National Park to clarify the actions that can be done there to reinforce the protection of the wildlife in this National Park. The river band protection was taken over by the Government for CFA 1 billion for the first phase, action will be continuing

PRELIMINARY IMPACTS

EXPECTED IMPACTS ACTUAL IMPACTS DURING IMPLEMENTATION (OR INDICATIONS OF LIKELY IMPACTS)

RATING SCORE (0-4)

1. FOOD PRODUCTION

- At least 30% of farmers sell 1/3 of their production without lack of food.

Based on the data recorded in the field, more than 1/3 population of the project area sells at least 170 kg of cereals without lacking food and the other crops are the source of cash revenue. Cowpea procures the most important part of the total revenue (around CFA 3.7 billion all over the project area and for one year)

3.75

Livestock Production - Sold quantity of meat: - Bovines from 750 to 1700

tons. - Small ruminant from 135 to

345 tons.

Total quantity of cattle meat sold per year for the two last years of the implementation of the project is about 82 tons essentially due to the decrease in demand. The past two years, cattle are not sold to Nigeria (the most important market). And actions on cattle take more time to have a relevant impact. But the small ruminants were increased in number and the quantity of meat sold is estimated at 1,232 tons. It’s easy for producers to sell one goat or sheep. Therefore the revenue generated by the sold of meat as an all is about CFA 954 million.

3.20

Fish production - Quantity of fish sold from 3500 to 5000 tons.

The scarcity of fish in the rivers and lake reduce the quantity captured and sold in the project area. Due to this situation, actions on aquaculture were the best opportunity to solve scarcity problem. The quantity sold at this early stage is around 90 tons of beat quality fish for an amount of CFA 35 million for 12 individuals, the revenue per individual is about CFA 2,900,000 just for 4-5 months. This amount is relevant revenue for rural area.

3.25

2. DIVERSIFICATION OF SOURCES OF REVENUE - At least 40% of farmers

have diversified their farm activities

- Production of fruits and vegetables in project area increased at least 20%.

More than 50% of the farmers diversify their activities trough new crops, integration of agriculture and animal production. The vegetables are the main diversification possibilities for farmers. For the last two years, they sold for about CFA 2,73 billion

3.75

3. WATER POINTS, HEALTH CENTERS, CLASSROOM - Water supply coverage

increased.

The actions of the project increase the total water supply even if the remaining needs are higher (about 1,600) The four (04) centres constructed and equipped by the project have increased the number of patients treated up

- Ratio pupils/ classrooms increased

- By project end 20% more patients treated in the health centres covered by the project

to 120,000 people that is more than 40% of the total number of patients.

Community development - Volume of inputs purchased

and marketed commodity increased by 20%

- Community saving and credit facilities functional and amount of agricultural lending increased by 30%.

- 30ha community forestry developed and number ha of wood supply.

- Agricultural input supply system in the project area consolidated and timely delivery.

- Food marketing information operational and farmers sell their produce at the best prices

Inputs purchased through the producer organizations are increased by more than 75%. Producers are well organized to buy inputs and sell their products in the markets; Trough the CVCA and loan line of the project, saving and credit systems are strongly developed throughout the project area the amount of the transactions is more than CFA 1 billion (about US$ 2 million). These transactions continuously developed. The Farmers are better organized and are managing all the rehabilitated perimeters (buying fertilizers, gasoil, using tractors, selling rice and even transforming their products).

3.5

4. Natural resource managements and biodiversity conservation Protection of river banks and erosion threatened area as well as measures for the biodiversity preservation through the natural park reserves of Waza and Kalamaloue.

As mentioned above, the protection of Logone and Chari rivers' band was taken over by the Government for about CFA 1 billion (as hard urgent first phase actions). In this case the actions of protection programmed by the project are oriented towards the sustainable natural resource management within and around the National Parks. A common used forest in Dougoumsilio, Makary sub-division, was supported by putting in place a local management committee; building capacity was initiated on inventory of flora and fauna. For the Kalamaloue national park, actions are oriented to identifying the new limits and developing a map of the park. All surroundings' villages are identified and populations informed on the illegal activities in the park. In Waza park, as mentioned in the appraisal document, all the actions for biodiversity conservation are identified and proposed in the second phase document.

3.5

The preliminary impacts based on the above mentioned elements and on direct revenue generated by the project actions and activities are very relevant and highly appreciated by the populations. The grow revenue estimated for the last three years of intensive works on the project activities is CFA 16,431,235,933 (around US$ 33 million), this revenue is provided by vegetables CFA 2,072,253,333; Soya bean CFA 3,700,000,000; Rice production CFA

There are some sources of revenue related to the main value added chains which can be estimated later. The user's actions based on the welfare of the populations and building capacities through several techniques are very relevant on management common infrastructures and poverty alleviation. With the implementation of this project, the target populations are received essentials kills and capacities to conduct production activities in the best way by creating more revenue. The standard of living in the area is significantly ameliorated and the populations are better organized to tackle important production constraints. To fully achieve the poverty alleviation process and amelioration of living conditions of youth and vulnerable people as a result of the recent situation in this part of the country, it is necessary to implement a second phase oriented to the main constraints

The series of building capacity sessions organized for the populations and all the support for their production systems and organizations putted in place are the key elements for the beneficiaries to maintain the actions of the project in a sustainable way.

3.50

2. Technical sustainability.

The quality of infrastructures and the skills at the disposal of the populations are the best guarantee of sustainability for the technical aspect.

3.75

3. Financial/economic sustainability.

The innovative techniques of production and the diversification of activities in the project area are the main possibilities of financial and economic sustainability. Nevertheless the consolidation of the different actions by a second phase will definitely engage this particular zone in the financial and economic sustainability.

2.75

4. Institutional sustainability.

The implication of representatives of all the ministries concerned and the administrative/traditional authorities is the key of institutional sustainability.

3.00

5. Social Sustainability. The favourable environment for the actions of the project is in the favour of the social sustainability. Nevertheless the actual situation in the area can be a problem for some sub-sectors.

3.20

6. Environmental sustainability.

All technical studies of infrastructures/actions of the project are taking into consideration the environmental aspects. In all these actions, there are Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the mitigation negative impacts or reinforce the positive impacts. So the environmental sustainability is assured by these skills. In the other hand, the specific actions were engaged in the biodiversity conservation.

H. LESSONS LEARNED AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1. LESSONS LEARNED

The feasibility study has to closely tied to the main constraints of production and be updated

At appraisal stage the target groups have to be fully implicated for a sustainability of actions.

The cost of the project realistic as possible (knowing that a provision of contingencies is

proposed).

The FIRR and the EIRR have to be known at the appraisal stage (the feasibility study is the best

stage to calculate them) in order to compare with those of the end of the project.

All the instruments and arrangements have to be in place before launching the project.

The financing plan and the disbursements have to be very clear for different actors involved in the

project implementation.

The PMU must have the possibility to manage most of the payments to avoid delays.

The role of local traditional and administrative authorities has to be clarified at the appraisal level.

The tackling of the real needs of populations will produce unexpected outputs, outcomes and

impacts (even a small part of the main constraints); the appraisal stage most deeply appreciates

the real constraints for the actions to be taken.

2. INNOVATIONS, REPLICATION, UP-SCALING

The organization of the baseline database collection was the key skill to appreciate the

contribution of the project at all. So even if the project is ongoing the availability of those data is

essential, so the baseline data were collected in 2013 for 2012 situation. Nevertheless, the data

are a good reference for any rural development actions to be taken in the area.

The most important strategy is to be closer to producers by using the participatory approach

(introduction of this approach gives important results and tackles the sustainability problem).

The Added value chain approach is the adequate possibility to work closely with all the actors

implicated in the revenue generating process for the rural populations. This approach can be

associated with others in the domain of rural development.

Availability of funds in level of the project at any time permit a continuous implementation of the

planned actions over the period, and the main tool is the monitoring of all project's accounts (in

the weekly base) to be sure that the financial aspects will not be part of the constraints. The

project's financial responsible have to be proactive to avoid some disagreements.

Proactively of the PMU is one of the important aspect in project implementation, the coordinator

must be very strong because of the challengers and changing in working environment

3. RECOMMENDATIONS

Summarize project related and general recommendations.Project Related Recommendations (i) For the Bank

1. The appraisal process will integrate all the main actors according to the subsectors take into


67

account 2. All the arrangements have to be ready before the implementation (launching of the project)

process to avoid the prolongation of periods; 3. Inform the executing agency and the PMU on the internal procedures and delays of demand

payments sent trough CAA; 4. Give a possibility to someone in CAA to be informed in a regular base for the disbursement level of

loan for monitoring purpose; 5. Be sure that the recommendations of the Cameroonian's to the Bank are implemented; 6. Indicate the appropriate way for reclamation from PMU or other actors; 7. Engage procedures to have a representative in Cameroon to facilitate the implementation of

projects and the impacts on the populations; 8. Be aware of the poor part of the country for the purpose of poverty alleviation; 9. In total the intervention of the Bank is highly appreciated in the project area because that is the

only project which has worked on different subsets in the rural area with important impacts on revenue procurement, food availability, poverty alleviation and building production capacities on a large scale.

(ii) For the Beneficiary

1. Be part of the main actors of project implementation, beginning the formulation stage up to the

end; 2. Being the target actor, the beneficiaries have to be present for the capacity building training

session; 3. Put in place a system for sustainability of the infrastructures and actions by using part of their

revenue every year, 4. Cooperatives created or reinforced are so many and diverse in the ongoing activities, there is

a need of reorganizing these cooperatives according to the 4-5 main added value chains and at subdivision level; the large scale structure representing all the 10 sub-divisions can be put in place at the divisional level. This structure can be the main representative of all the producers of the Logone and Chari Division;

5. Efficient use of skills related to bargaining power in the process of price negotiation; 6. The resolving funds of the loan line has o be managed for the interest of the producer of the

area, Government has the bigger responsibility to do that

(iii) For any Future Projects or programmes

1. Base the actions and activities on clearly expressed needs of producers; 2. Log framework has to be as completed as possible with all activities, outputs, outcomes, impacts,

indicators and good appreciation of risks and assumptions; 3. The problem of youth and vulnerable people has to be the core aspect to be tackled by adequate

means; 4. The best approach to develop rural area is the identification and tackling of the main constraints

of added value chains (from farm to the tale) and be aware of the revenue gained by the producers;

5. The Natural resource management, particularly the firewood and charcoal problem has to integrated into all projects and programs which have to be developed in this area;

6. The sustainability of actions partly depends on extend to which the local representatives as concerned;

7. The best approach is to sign protocols clarifying responsibilities all each party and some building capacity sessions are necessary for the success;

8. A well organized system of communication is the key success elements I. OVERALL ASSESSMENT.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC ANALYSES

The most important item in the economic and financial analysis is the calculation of the rate of

profitability. And the rate which sits in the rural development project is the economic rate of

return.

Calculation of the economic rate of return of the project

As, it has been indicated in the text, the project has experienced some difficulties in stating which

have delayed the effective implementation of its actions during several years and almost all of the

actions have been undertaken in the last years of the project. The estimates that have been made

are based on the period whose consistency has been established and the data contained.

For all of the productions in the intervention area of the project, for the past two years, the

estimates of the gross operating surplus give a total amount of 16,431,235,933 FCFA

The calculation of the profitability ratio for the project (mainly in the last two years with relevant

results), "Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), is based on the capital employed and the amount of

input requirements.

In total, the calculation of the ROCE is based on the gross revenues of production without taking

into account the taxes on the benefit and the total amount of capital used for the implementation

(different funds used). It is important to point out that the economic asset is composed of net

capital assets adjusted (increased) by the working capital needs (running funds).

For the calculation of the current profitability ration, a number of assumptions and realistic data

are taken into account and could be summarized as follows:

The overall tax rate is around 31%, which is a rate very close to the overall tax level in

Cameroon and in most countries of the CEMAC zone (in Cameroon the exact rate in the

secondary and tertiary sector of the economy is 33 %);

The gross income generated by producers is estimated at CFA 16,431,235,933

The total amount of expenses (cost of total inputs used) incurred by the

producers/populations to generate the total gross revenues is estimated at CFA

8,118,102,500 distributed through:

- Vegetable production; CFA 1,198,502,500

- Cowpea production; CFA 1, 822, 500,000

- Rice production; CFA 1, 450, 000,000

- Maize production; CFA 1,988, 900, 000

- Sorghum production; CFA 1, 200, 000, 000

- Cattle meat production; CFA 18, 200, 000

- Milk production; CFA 2, 125, 480, 250

- Small ruminant meat production; CFA 425, 000, 000 and

- Fish production (mostly in aquaculture); CFA 15, 000, 000

The Capital is represented by the amount of funds effectively mobilized trough the three main actors (ODB, OFID and Counterpart fund) for the implementation of the project actions and activities, that is CFA 8,920,866,470. Based on these elements, the calculation of the economic profitability or the ROCE gives us a rate of return or a return to the capital of 60.97 %. The income generated by the economic asset after taxes is of CFA 5,439,129,978. As a result of the calculation, we observe that the economic and financial profitability of the project is very relevant according to most of projects in the area (with a profitability rate of 60.9%). The difficulties in the beginning, which delay the implementation of the project was the main constraint for producing important revenue for the populations in the way of poverty alleviation in this part of the country. These results argue for the consolidation of actions through a second phase of this important and very profitable project (producing more food for consumption, creating revenue for the other needs and ameliorating the welfare of the people).

It is clear that they are two types of profitability which are represented by the economic profitability and the financial viability. The Return on Capital employed or ROCE is a profitability ratio that measures how efficiently a project can generate profits from the funds employed that is by comparing the net operating profit to capital (funds) employed. In other words, return on capital employed shown to funders that how their intervention can generate money for populations engaged in the production. The ROCE is a long term profitable ratio showing how effectively inputs are performed to produce outputs and outcomes. That is why ROCE is a more useful ratio than return on equity to evaluate the longevity of projects intervention. The ratio is based on two important calculations: operating revenues considered as profit and funds (capital) employed. The formula of the Return on capital employed is calculated by dividing net operating profit or EBIT or earnings by funds employed. In the framework of the rural development project, the economic rate of return is the most appropriate one.

PLANNED VS. ACTUAL PROCUREMENT PLAN

At the appraisal stage any procurement plan was prepared. The first one was prepared in 2010 and submitted to the "Comité de Pilotage" for approval and validated by the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Regional Development. So we are presenting all the procurement plans prepared for the project had been launched. That is, the first one of 2010, and the last two prepared after solving the mismanagement problems.

OTHER DETAILS

Due the relevant results and the specificity of the area, a second phase of the Project has been prepared and submitted.

CHARI/LOGONE RURAL INTEGRATED PROGRAMME II (PDRI-CL II)

OBJECTIVES

The main objective of Chari/Logan II is, the sustainable alleviation of poverty and creation of an important number of jobs for youth in particular through an integrated approach based on the value added chain method and taking into account the of consolidating the achievements of the first phase.

Specific Objectives

The specific objectives of the program in accordance with the strategic axes of intervention include:

1. Making accessible most of important basins of production by linking production areas to different relay or final (consumer) markets (rehabilitation/creation of rural roads);

2. Rehabilitating of remaining irrigated perimeters and creation of others for cereals and vegetable crops produced in the context of sustainable production and productivity (creation/ rehabilitation of irrigation perimeters);

3. Strengthening of production systems and reinforcing aquaculture to ameliorate the production and productivity;

4. Reinforcing value chain efficiency and strengthening of population welfare through socioeconomic infrastructures

5. Strengthening of community development support in term of professionalization of the producers' organizations;

6. Creating of a local development fund to initiate a real action of entrepreneurship.

RESULTS On the basis of the program objectives, the results to be achieved are:

1. All major basins of productions are linked to the main markets by 450 km of dirt road that can be

used in any season;

2. At least 1500 hectares of irrigated perimeters rehabilitated/created;

3. All the production systems of the area are effectively accompanied to ensure production and

productivity, allowing an increase of at least 30% of the income of the producers;

4. The main value added chains are discounted to level for a better distribution of productivity

gained throughout the value chain;


101

To achieve these results, actions have to be organized within different components

SCOPE OF COMPONENTS

Chari/Logone II, will be implemented through five (05) main component

1. CREATION/REHABILITATION OF ROADS

This component is to link all the major producing basins to different markets to allow the

producers to sell their products at any time with acceptable prices to ameliorate their revenues.

This possibility which will be offered to producers is one of the main current constraints in

obtaining the best price for the products by the peasants. The traders buying the different

products are the main beneficiaries of the production activities of peasants who are maintained in

a cycle of dependency. The main roads that connect production areas to markets are not

accessible in the raining seasons. Even with 4WD vehicles in the rainy season, it is almost

impossible to get out of produce in most of production areas. This situation raising not only the

prices of the products on the markets for the consumers, but also and especially the quasi-totality

of the fresh products are inaccessible and destroyed for most of the peasants.

2. HYDRO-AGRICULTURAL LAND PLANNING

In view of the paucity of rain or of their irregularity, the speculation of the rainy season generally

does not manage to complete their cycle of maturity causing IMPORTANT food deficits in the area.

This situation is becoming more frequent and tends to a constant. In so doing, all of the producers

dependent on these crops are still exposed to food insecurity and living below the threshold of

poverty, the Irrigated production systems are the best solution in the area. So creating or

rehabilitating the irrigated perimeters remains the crucial opportunities for producers.

Innovations have to be introduced in the reduction of quantity of water used by ameliorating the

irrigation system.

3. STRENGTHENING OF PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

This component will be the key element of the creation of revenues with the emphasis on the integrated approach to value chain, including the delivery to level requires the actions of related order and those related directly to the production systems. It will be to make the various systems more productive and efficient through the actions of strengthening capacity of producers in the domain of innovative techniques of production and support for production materials taking into account the level of poverty of most of the farmers in the area. The Chari/Logan I had developed the important domain and the preliminary impacts indicate that the alleviation of poverty is growing and these further actions will complete the process engaged and this part of the country will be one of the producers. 4. REINFORCEMENT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURES OF ACCOMPANIMENT Despite the presence of a few infrastructures put in place in phase I of the program, and by the other actors having intervened, the upgrading of value chains requires additional structures for storage, those accompanying the activities of livestock particularly vaccination parks, cattle and small ruminant markets and the boreholes for livestock use, amount others. The Total amount of the program is CFA twenty-one Billion seventeen million six hundred twenty two thousand three hundred and seventy-six (CFA 21,017,622 376).

APPENDIX -2

PERFORMANCE RATING SCALE

General (applicable to most indicators) Rating Score

If performance is highly satisfactory 4

If performance is satisfactory 3

If performance is partially satisfactory 2 If performance is unsatisfactory 1

If performance is highly unsatisfactory 0

Rating for Cost Variation

If cost variation is within +/- 10 percent of the appraisal cost estimate 4




If cost variation is more than +/- 50 percent of the appraisal cost estimate 0 Rating for Adherence to Time schedule Delay is defined as difference in months between the original closing date and actual closing date

If the delay is less than 12 months 4

If the delay is between 12 to 24 months 3



If the delay is over 48 months 0

Overall Assessment The overall assessment would be the simple un-weighted average of scores for all indicators, under each criteria/sub-criteria. This will be determined by adding all rating scores and dividing the total by the number of the component indicators. The numerical average will then be converted into descriptive ratings as follows:

Highly Satisfactory (HS) 3< R≤ 4

Satisfactory (S) 2<R≤ 3

Partially Satisfactory (PS) 1<R≤ 2

Unsatisfactory (US) 0.5<R≤1

Highly Unsatisfactory (HUS) 0<R≤0. 5
