allowances for veterinary assistance in the project area. The supply of drugs was expected to operate on a revolving fund basis with the regional veterinarian advising on drugs to be purchased. At appraisal, it was proposed that the funds allocated for this purpose would be held by SRAB with the National Bank of Ethiopia. The sale and purchase of drugs was to be performed through the Zonal and Woreda veterinary clinics. All drugs were to be sold to stockowners on a cash basis with a 25 per cent mark-up. Funds collected from the sales were expected to be reconverted into foreign currency and deposited in the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) account and used for future drug purchase. 52. Achievements. The operational modalities for the revolving fund were put in place in 1999. The Regional BOARD received 6 vehicles and motorcycles to support the WIGA livestock fattening activities and the administration of the fund. At Zonal and Woreda levels 140 veterinarians and assistant veterinarians, and 300 veterinary technicians received training on the operation of the revolving fund. Appropriate receipt and ordering forms for drugs were designed, printed and distributed at field level. After drug purchase and distribution, follow up field visits were conducted to check the sales and reporting system. According to the veterinary reports 313,140 animals have been treated for trypanosomiasis; more than 20,000 animals were treated for various infectious diseases; 450,000 sheep and goats have been treated for internal parasites; about 500,000 animals have been treated for external parasites; and more than 10,000 animals have been treated for other diseases. 26 53. Disbursement. A total of EB 10.7m (US$1.89m) was budgeted for the component. Actual utilization was only EB 2.1m (19 per cent of allocated fund). Rural Roads Construction 54. Rural roads construction. A total of 6 roads were constructed through SOCODEP, to a higher standard than originally assumed (RR 50 rather than RR 30), and at a consequently much higher unit cost. This meant that the Appraisal targets had to be revised downwards at MTR. However, despite the relatively small amount of construction and its scattered nature, the quality of at least the four roads traveled in this evaluation is good 27 , and the impact on those now able to use them 28 is significant. Furthermore, the equipment provided to the Roads Authority has allowed it to continue construction elsewhere, and this is expected to continue for some time to come. 55. A total of 122km of rural road construction was carried out. Table 5 shows the achievements of this component. Unit costs varied widely, from approximately EB 36,000 (US$4,200) to EB 170,000 (US$20,000) per km. 56. Overall, the roads component, like many of the other components described so far, resulted in useful achievements, but which fell far short of those anticipated at Appraisal. The main reason for this was the raising of the design standards and hence unit costs of the roads constructed. Furthermore, while it is acknowledged that SOCODEP had little influence on roads policy, a greater effort should have been made in pursuing a labour-based maintenance strategy which would have been more appropriate for the benefiting communities. 26 SOCODEP, undated, Veterinary Component Project Activity report. 27 As good, that is, as other non-SOCODEP roads travelled. However, gullying and erosion problems are evident, and maintenance is needed. 28 Mostly on foot. 16
