5.3 COMPONENT III: Project Management and Coordination<br />
No experiential learning and sharing between and among the SROs<br />
The long standing issue of project supported staff at CORAF/WECARD and focal institutions<br />
(NARI) still remains<br />
The unavailability of technical backstopping institution(s) constraints the full understanding of<br />
the IPTA tool and hence, smooth implementation of the project<br />
5.3.1 Achievements<br />
The NARI focal institutions and their IPTA actors continue to demonstrate in general, good<br />
results despite the serious challenges.<br />

6. STATUS OF PHYSICAL IMPLEMENTATION<br />
(a) SUMMARIZE THE PROGRESS OF EXECUTION OF THE PROJECT COMPONENT BY COMPONENT FOLLOW-<br />
ING THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY ARE PRESENTED IN THE APPRAISAL REPORT. HIGHLIGHT ANY ACHIEVE-<br />
MENTS MADE AND PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED.<br />
See previous sections and see brief on problems encountered under 8.<br />
(b) INFORMATION ON IMPLEMENTATION WHICH DOES NOT FIT IN ANY PARTICULAR CATEGORY OF PROJECT<br />
COMPONENTS OR DATA ON EXTERNAL FACTORS AFFECTING PROJECT PERFORMANCE (MILITARY COUP,<br />
EXTREME CLIMATIC CONDITIONS SUCH AS DROUGHTS OR FLOODS, EXTREME MARKET CONDITIONS<br />
SUCH AS RECORD HIGH OR LOW PRICES FOR PROJECT AREA PRODUCTS, ETC.) SHOULD BE NOTED.<br />
7. FINANCIAL STATUS<br />
DISBURSEMENT PERFORMANCE IS A KEY ELEMENT TO BE HIGHLIGHTED IN EVERY PQR. DISBURSEMENT APPLICATIONS MADE<br />
DURING THE QUARTER AND THEIR STATUS (PAID, STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION, QUERIED, REJECTED, ETC.) NEED TO BE NOTED.<br />
THE TOTAL DISBURSEMENT MADE DURING THE QUARTER SHOULD BE RECORDED; THE CUMULATIVE AMOUNT AND TOTAL<br />
UNDISBURSED BALANCE ALSO NEEDS TO BE NOTED. ANY PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED SHOULD BE UNDERSCORED. THE OVERALL<br />
FINANCIAL STATUS OF THE PROJECT NEEDS TO BE NOTED; THE QUARTERLY REPORT SHOULD NOTE AS SOON AS THE POSSIBILITY<br />
(HOWEVER REMOTE) ARISES THAT COST OVERRUNS MAY OCCUR AND ATTEMPT TO QUANTIFY THEIR POSSIBLE AMOUNTS.<br />

8. GENERAL COMMENTS/CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
Cameroun: a six week long unusual drought seriously disturbed the planting in all the platforms of the<br />
project. Most of the maize producers have to wait until the end of the month of September to start<br />
seeding their farms. The focal point in Cameroon participated in the agriculture science technology<br />
innovations (ASTI) training of trainers. It had been a good learning experience on innovation systems.<br />
Mali: <strong>DONATA</strong> focal person in Mali has signed a contract of understanding between IER and Input<br />
supplier and farmers’ groups. A copy of this agreement is joined to this <strong>report</strong>.<br />
Burkina Faso: According to the focal person, the establishment of additional IPTAs based on the entry<br />
point to more than 2 in the country is not realistic with the level of funding.<br />
Delays in justifying disbursed funds by the focal institutions (NARI) are a serious problem to the<br />
replenishment of funds. Timely fund disbursement and replenishment is the only way to resolve<br />
challenges related to cash-flow, and that requires innovations in financial management at all levels of<br />
the <strong>DONATA</strong> institutional arrangements.<br />
