The project outcome is satisfactory, and sustainability is likely, based on a substantial professional, and political support, and on adequate budgets for teacher training, and supplementary reading materials. Several lessons emerge from the project. Consultation with stakeholders should be extensive during project design, for had the Department of Education participated in the design of training needs, its success would have been even greater. The contents of a project should be fully integrated into the government's strategic plan for the sector, to avoid, as in this project, the lack of understanding by stakeholders, particularly at the district level, on the linkages between the project and the Social Action Program - specifically, a program adopted as policy umbrella for elementary education. Institutional capacities should be assessed, and their responsibilities clearly defined at preparation, to avoid inadequacies which will delay implementation, such as the case of the Civil Engineering Cell, who was ill prepared to meet the Bank's reporting requirements. Likewise, the role and responsibilities of both implementing agencies, and key staff should be clearly defined prior to implementation, to avoid accountability misunderstandings.
