Cote D'ivoire REPUBLIC OF COTE D'IVOIRE EDUCATION IV PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT INTER-DEPARTMENTAL WORKING GROUP MEETING REPORT I. INTRODUCTION The interdepartmental working group meeting on the Education IV Project was held on Monday 23 April 2007 in Room 323 of the Bank’s ATR Building. Present at this meeting were the following: Messrs J. E. PORGO, Acting Division Manager, OSHD.1, Chairperson R. KANE, Country Economist for RCI, ORWA S. AMADOU, GECL.1 C. DIGUIMBAYE, FFCO.3 ORPU and EDRE.1 sent their comments in writing. After a brief presentation of the report by the authors, the Chairperson asked the members of the working group to review the report, starting with the general comments before moving on to the specific ones. This report gives a summary of all the discussions, comments, conclusions and recommendations made by the working group members. II. SUMMARY OF COMMENTS A. General Comments With regard to general comments, the members of the working group asked that the report provide further detailed explanations of observations made. They asked for an explanation as to why there was no project preparation and why there was a delay in project implementation. They suggested that further details be provided of the negotiations, the risk analysis planned at the inception of the project be undertaken, and the lessons and recommendations be reviewed. To this end, lessons must be learnt from the splitting up of contracts and the relevant recommendation made. The participants were also of the view that the performance appraisal needed to be revised, and that the report needed to specify the project’s link with the Bank’s CSP for that period as well as address the issue of the conflict in the RCI and link it to that of the sustainability of the project outcomes. B. Specific Comments Specific comments from the participants related to the clarification of points made in the observations contained in the document, and the need to add more details, with explanation. III. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS In conclusion, the members of the working group asked the authors to incorporate the points raised to improve the document.

The project, which cost a total of UA 59 million, was financed with an ADB loan of UA 53 million that was signed on 16 October 1992 and became effective on 11 February 1993, i.e. 4 months later, as well as with a Government contribution of UA 6 million. Its objectives were to (i) restore the functionality of the existing primary and secondary school facilities; (ii) provide primary schools in regions where they are seriously lacking; (iii) reduce student migration to and from secondary schools by building new schools in areas where they are lacking; (iv) introduce environmental awareness among the general public and design instructional packages for primary schools; (v) set up a programming tool for the streamlining and coordination of actions geared towards staff and facility planning; (vi) increase the enrolment rate, especially that of girls in the remote areas of the country’s north; (vii) support the primary objectives of the Structural Adjustment Programme-Human Resources, namely to improve access to primary education, upgrade the quality of the educational system and adapt school curricula to realities. The project had six components including (i) strengthening of primary education; (ii) strengthening of secondary education; (iii) increased enrolment in rural areas; (iv) introduction of environmental studies; (v) school map support; and (vi) project implementation. 2 The project as designed met the needs identified at the time of its appraisal. The implementation schedule was not adhered to due to the lengthy delays in the processing of documents by the Bank and the Borrower and the suspension of disbursements for non- payment of arrears, among others. Upon completion, the project cost, net of all taxes, was estimated at UA 54.65 million, representing 92.62% of the total project cost. The Bank financed UA 49.53 million or 93.46% of the loan amount estimated at appraisal. The actual government counterpart funding was UA 5.11 million, or 85.23% of the expected national contribution. 3 At the institutional level, the project provided support to the Department of Information Technology, Planning, Evaluation and Statistics, which it equipped with IT equipment that enabled it to produce better designed and more precise school maps. Environmental studies was introduced into the educational system. The Project Implementation Unit and its regional offices were established and have acquired a solid experience in project implementation. Improved accessibility and better teaching and learning conditions have been achieved in the project areas through the building and rehabilitation of facilities and provision of the educational institutions with furniture, equipment as well as learning and teaching materials. A significant rise of 17.56% was observed in pupil numbers in the target regions, where those numbers increased from 1 735 814 in 1996-1997 to 2 113 836 in 2001-2002. The number of girls in the deprived Centre, North and West (CNO) regions went up from 91 925 in 1991-1992 to 132 812 between 1995 and 1997, representing an increase of about 31%. However, despite the increased intake capacity of primary and secondary education, with the current socio-political crisis the teacher/pupil ratio remains high in the southern parts of the country, where the schools operate double shifts. This adversely affects the

Elle participe à la planification des besoins recensés au niveau du Ministère de l’Education Nationale, de l’Enseignement Technique et de la Formation Professionnelle sur l’ensemble du territoire National. A cet effet, la Direction des Stratégies, de la Planification et des Statistiques (DSPS) publie, tous les ans, les statistiques scolaires par degré d’enseignement (Préscolaire, Primaire, Secondaire général et technique). Compte tenu de l’importance des données statistiques scolaires, la DSPS, après la publication du document « Statistiques Scolaires de Poche » publié au niveau national, a jugé nécessaire de proposer aux usagers, le même type de document au niveau de chaque région administrative. Ce document comportant les informations sur l’éducation est le miroir expressif de la réalité du système éducatif régional. La possibilité pour tous les acteurs et partenaires de l’école ivoirienne de pouvoir disposer, en tout temps et en tout lieu, des chiffres et indicateurs présentant une vision d’ensemble du système éducatif d’une région donnée, constitue en soi une valeur ajoutée. La DSPS est résolue à poursuivre la production des statistiques scolaires de poche nationales et régionales de façon régulière pour aider les acteurs et partenaires du système éducatif dans les prises de décisions adéquates et surtout dans ce contexte de crise sanitaire liée à la COVID-19.

Attiéké Garba is a derivative of the traditional attiéké resulting from intended manufacturing defects. A consumption survey was therefore conducted in Abidjan (big city) and two departments, Dabou and Jacqueville, major production areas of attiéké and Garba, to assess the importance and determinants of consumption of 4 types of attiéké (Adjoukrou, Ebrié, Alladjan and Garba), consumer preferences and to identify the descriptors of quality that motivate the consumption of these food products. Surveys showed that 99% of respondents consume regularly 1 to 2 times attiéké (traditional or commercial) per day.

HOUVENEL Laboratoire dP Virolope Vegetale. Institut1 Francars de Recherche Scientifique pour le Developpement en Cooperation P. (ORSTOM) B. V51. Abidjan, Ivory Coast Abstract. Re-infection of healthy cassava plants by African cassava epidemiological features and the overall ecology of ACMV in mosaic virus (ACMV) was followed in different varieties and tor different situations: several years at various locations in two regions of Ivory Coast. Whitefly populations on cassava and virus incidence varied widely between sites. even amongst those close to one another. However, for each location and in every year. the spread of ACMV showed the same general trend Little spread occurred at Toumodi ín the Savannah region which IS outside the main cassava production area. Much greater spread occurred at a nearby site and at all sites in the forest region except one alongside the Ocean where there were no cassava plantings upwind. Among sites there was no direct relation between virus incidence and the total number of adult whitefly, whereas there was a relationship between spread and the occuir- ence of .nfected cassava upwind although not necessarily close by. Introduction African cassava mosaic disease is one of the most important factors limiting the production of cassava (Manihot esculenla Crantz) in Africa. The disease is caused by a gentnivirus (ACMV), which aflects nearly all the cassava plants grown.

The type of starter added into cassava dough is one main determinant of attiéké quality therefore the physicochemical and microbial profiles of 30 cassava starters from the main production zones in Côte d’Ivoire were determined in this study. Starters produced in Dabou, Jacqueville and Grand-Lahou were more acidic. Their total acidities were respectively 9.25 ± 2.46 g l-1, 6.75 ± 2.11 g l-1 and 6.89 ± 1.99 g l-1 with low pH (4.53 ± 1.18, 4.42 ± 0.35 and 4.68 ± 0.26). Those from Abidjan and Yamoussoukro were less acidic with lower total acidities (5.52 ± 1.97 g l-1 and 4.82 ± 1.37 g l-1) and higher pH (4.95 ± 0.33 and 5.45 ± 0.49). Moisture levels of samples from Dabou, Jacqueville and Grand-Lahou were lower, while their reducing sugar and starch content were higher compared with those from Abidjan and Yamoussoukro.
