57186 STATUS OF PROJECTS IN EXECUTION FY10 SOPE AFRICA REGION Gambia, The Operations Policy and Country Services OCTOBER 03, 2010 Introduction The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY10 provides information on all IBRD, IDA, and trust funded projects that were active as of June 30, 2010. The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank's revised disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public. The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes. In addition to the project progress description, the FY10 SOPE report1 contains project level comparisons of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and disbursements to date. 1 Notes: Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project. Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Operations, which provide quick-disbursing financing to support policy and institutional reforms. For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions. Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus will not include a graph.

The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 This project was restructured (Level 1) to include the revision of the project development objective and six performance indicators. The implementation period was also extended until December 31, 2012. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): Progress toward the original development objective was slow. Findings revealed that teacher content knowledge was low and this had a detrimental impact on the quality of learning. A restructuring of the project was recommended with a focus on supporting new methods of delivering in- service training to ensure the availability of good quality teachers. Secondly, the success at the primary level has increased pressures to expand opportunities at secondary and tertiary levels. To meet this demand, there is an urgent need to expand the training of secondary school teachers, especially in science and mathematics, to meet this increased demand.
