  • Nicaragua Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese Grant Aid Project

    Nicaragua Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese Grant Aid Project “The Project for Improvement of Basic Education Facilities in the Department of Rivas, Boaco y Chontales” External Evaluator: Junko Noguchi, FASID 0. Summary In Nicaragua, deficient and decrepit school and classroom conditions have hindered children’s enrollment, and the Ministry of Education (MOE) has implemented a program for improving school facilities. This Project’s relevancy is high since it aims to improve the learning environment in target areas by constructing facilities for basic education in Rivas, Boaco and Chontales. Although the Project was completed within the planned costs and timeframe, delays in the preparatory work (such as land registration), lead to slightly fewer classrooms being built than planned. Therefore the efficiency is fair. The learning environment is considered to have been improved based on the high appreciation expressed by school principals, teachers and students for improvements in the size of the classrooms, the use of daylight in the classrooms and the usage of desks and chairs. The effectiveness is high. Operation and management (O&M) of the facility largely depend on the success of a new needs prioritization system and on the financial capacity of the schools and parents. Therefore the sustainability is fair. In light of the above, this Project is evaluated to be satisfactory. 1.

April 21: Sandinista Popular Army (EPS) spokespersons reported that 20 recontras ambushed and killed five peasants in La Patriota, 240 km. east of Managua. April 22: Customs inspector David Rivera told reporters that revueltos forced personnel at the El Espino border crossing to leave their posts. El Espino, Madriz department, is Nicaragua's principal overland crossing with Honduras. Rivera said the blockade prevented passage of about 40 trucks carrying cargo from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, en route to Costa Rica and Panama. The recompa and recontra high commands issued a communique asserting that transportation blockades in Jinotega, Esteli and Matagalpa departments were a response to the government's failure to follow through on commitments made to demobilized combatants.
