[300 words maximum. Any additional narrative about the project's origins and history, if needed, must be placed in Annex 6: Project Narrative]

The development challenge of this project is the implementation of the Ten-year Basic Education Development Programme (PDDE) for 2003-2013. With the support of technical and financial partners (TFP), the PDDE aims to: (i) accelerate school enrolment and adapt supply to demand so as to reducing disparities (region, area and gender); (ii) promote non-formal education; (iii) strengthen and develop the institutional capacities of Ministries; and (iv) strengthen and develop vocational and technical training. To that end, the Government adopted a strategy with the priority to improve access and quality in formal and non-formal basic education. The Basic Education Enhancement Project is in line with the first three objectives of the PDDE.

The Bank is financing four operations in the agricultural sector: Invasive Aquatic Weeds – Niger, Kandadji Programme, Water Development Project, Diffa Agro-Pastoral Development Project; one in the multi-sector (Decentralization Support Project); two in the transport sector (Tibiri-Dakoro and Madaoua-B Road Project, Dori-Téra Road Project); and one in the water sector (Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Project in three regions).

In December 2010, the Bank approved a budget support and an education and vocational and technical training development project. According to the September 2010 portfolio review report, the overall performance is improving steadily and stands at 2.3.

Operations by other multilateral (IDA, EDF, IDB, UNESCO) and bilateral partners in the education sector complement those of the Bank.

C. PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND LOGICAL FRAMEWORK

1. State the Project Development Objective(s) (as set out in the appraisal report) 1. Overall Goal: Contribute to PDDE implementation 2. Specific Objectives:

2. Additional outcomes . Comment on the project's additional outcomes not captured in the log. frame, including cross-cutting issues (e.g. gender). The project improved the school environment and put in place better learning conditions. Indeed, the grass-hut classrooms in which pupils sat on the bare floor, and without latrines on the school campus, were replaced by spacious and equipped classrooms, with latrines for pupils (having separate sections for girls and boys) and teachers. An office/store for head-teachers helps them to perform their duties under better conditions. With their infrastructure and equipment, the schools and GECs constructed by the project generated enthusiasm for parents who all want to enroll their children there, as well as teachers who want to work there. This enthusiasm has led to increased demand such that grass-hut classrooms have been constructed to receive the additional influx. Management of schools with greater involvement of parents through SMCs has improved: visibility, increased confidence, availability, quick problem-solving, etc.). Improvement of gender equity, particularly for basic cycle 1. At the environmental level, the stakeholders were sensitized on tree planting on the school campus to improve the living environment and contribute to the fight against desertification. 3. Risks to sustained achievement of outcomes. State the factors that affect, or could affect, the long-run or sustained achievement of project outcomes. Indicate if any new activity or institutional change is recommended to help sustain outcomes. The analysis could draw upon the sensitivity analysis in Annex 3. Inadequate budget resources for infrastructure maintenance and replacement of laboratory products taking into account the other needs of the sector, and the intense demand pressure, could lead to their rapid deterioration. Sensitization of beneficiaries (pupils, teachers, administration) and effective involvement of parents in proper infrastructure and equipment use and routine maintenance are necessary. The Ministry should also provide the laboratory products needed for continuous operation and continuing training of teachers. A public infrastructure maintenance strategy, including that of education, should be developed.

E. PROJECT DESIGN AND READINESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION

1. State the extent to which the Bank and the Borrower ensured the project was commensurate with the Borrower’s capacity to implement by designing the project appropriately and by putting in place the necessary implementation arrangements. Consider all major design aspects, such as extent to which project design took into account lessons learned from previous PCRs in the sector or the country (please cite key PCRs); whether the project was informed by robust analytical work (please cite key documents); how well Bank and Borrower assessed the capacity of the implementing agencies and/or Project Implementation Unit; scope of consultations and partnerships; economic rationale of project; and provisions made for technical assistance.

[250 words maximum. Any additional narrative about implementation should be included at Annex 6: Project Narrative]

The project was formulated following discussions that involved the various stakeholders of Niger’s education sector (public authorities, direct beneficiaries, parents, civil society and NGOs), as well as the TFPs organized within the Partnership Framework. Exchanges within this partnership framework helped to coordinate the proposed support so as to avoid duplication and maximize the chances of achieving the objectives pursued. The project is the continuation of Education Project I, with which it shares components and a similar objective, and which was implemented satisfactorily.

Lessons have been learnt from this project, especially as concerns effectiveness conditions and those preceding the first disbursement that were reduced to the essential, so as to guarantee project performance. The project is implemented by the Education Projects Implementation Office (BEPE), which took part in its design and which has acquired experience from previous project management. Indeed, after the sanction period which retarded project implementation, BEPE was able to take appropriate measures for project implementation, and prepared and transmitted activity reports regularly, and has a good knowledge of the Bank’s rules of procedure.

At the economic level, no specific profitability study has been conducted. However, the substantial financial resources injected into the economic fabric through investments in the project activities, as a whole, and payments resulting from them, gave impetus to the commercial activities of small and medium-sized enterprises, hence job creation and the consumption of goods and services. The long- term effect of the various training sessions that were provided and the equipment will improve teaching in terms of quantity and quality, which is an indispensable factor for quality human resource development that the economy needs. In addition, STI/HIV/AIDS sensitization activities seek to reduce their negative impacts on the working population.

F. IMPLEMENTATION

1. State the major characteristics of project implementation with reference to: adherence to schedules, quality of construction or other work, performance of consultants, effectiveness of Bank supervision, and effectiveness of Borrower oversight. Assess how well the Bank and the Borrower ensured compliance with safeguards.

[300 words maximum. [Any additional narrative about implementation should be included at Annex 6: Project Narrative.]

The project was implemented behind schedule by 15 months. The delay was due to: i) difficulties faced in recruiting the consulting and control firm; ii) procurement methods not appropriate for certain training and technical assistance activities; and iii) non-compliance with contractual deadlines by certain works contractors. Most of the construction works were executed by the rules of the trade. Globally, the quality of facilities is good and they are in a satisfactory state. The consultants accomplished all the tasks assigned to them in their mission’s Terms of Reference. Their performance is satisfactory. The supervision missions helped to resolve certain problems relating to the procurement of goods, works and services. These missions helped in strengthening project implementation capacity. The government complied with the loan’s effectiveness conditions and other conditions. The counterpart contribution was available during implementation, despite some difficulties; the activity reports were also transmitted to the Bank; the audit of the various financial years was conducted in accordance with the agreements. The project’s planned mid-term review was not conducted; however, that did not affect project implementation activities, insofar as supervision missions and permanent exchanges between the borrower and the Bank helped to sort out the problems faced. 2. Comment on the role of other partners (e.g. donors, NGOs, contractors, etc.). Assess the effectiveness of co-financing arrangements and of donor coordination, if applicable. Niger’s education system is supported by the technical and financial partners involved in the sector, as a supplement to Government efforts. In the PDDE implementation, the various proposed operations are better coordinated than in the past, thus avoiding duplication and promoting synergies. The objective sought by all donors, be they bilateral or multilateral, is education development. However, each partner, while being in line with the programme in general, gives preference to the aspects that fit with its strategic priorities. MEF coordinates all donor operations. As concerns the education sector, there is a partnership framework aimed at bringing together and defining the terms and conditions of work between the TFPs and MEB/A, with a view to achieving the objectives set by the basic education promotion strategy within the PDDE framework. 3. Harmonization. State whether the Bank made explicit efforts to harmonize instruments, systems and/or approaches with other partners. As indicated above, the project was formulated following discussions that involved the various stakeholders in Niger’s education sector (public authorities, direct beneficiaries, civil society and NGOs) as well as TFPs organized within the Partnership Framework. During supervision missions, the Bank maintained dialogue and consultation with the other partners. This consultation, which had to ensure the setting up of a common mechanism for the teaching development programme and vocational and technical training, did not succeed, because of other partners’ deadline constraints.

H. LESSONS LEARNED

Summarize key lessons for the Bank and the Borrower suggested by the project’s outcomes

[250 words maximum. Any additional narrative about lessons learned, if needed, must be placed in Annex 6: Project Narrative] The main lessons learned from project implementation are as follows:

The involvement of the project execution structure in the various phases of its design ensured better control and implementation of activities;

 As concerns procurement, the inappropriate procurement methods for certain training and technical assistance activities, particularly as regards school health resulted in delays in providing the training;  The continuous drop in the rate of the Unit of Account (UA) created problems of availability of resources for the implementation of all projected activities; certain activities were reduced (7 GECs instead of 8) and others cancelled (organization of medical examinations, development of a national school health policy and equipment for the glassmaking workshop of the National Maintenance Centre (CNM));  The slow disbursement of counterpart contribution resources led to delays especially in the execution of construction works;  The government’s political commitment to the basic education sector and the implementation of Bank monitoring action and recommendations contributed to proper project implementation.

Recommendations : - For the Bank:  Restructure the project, in accordance with the rules, if the borrower cannot cover the financing deficit noted during implementation;  Ensure adoption of procurement methods that are more adapted to the nature of activities, with a view to guaranteeing effective project implementation. - For the government:  Ensure the presence and effective involvement of future project officials in the various phases of its design;  Ensure, as from project preparation, that procurement methods are adapted to the activities so as to ensure rapid and adequate implementation;  Take appropriate measures to disburse needed counterpart contribution resources on time for project activity financing, to avoid implementation delays. Minimize the counterpart contribution, in future, and even finance project activities fully from ADF resources;  Take measures to finance the deficit linked to fluctuations in the UA’s exchange rate or propose the project’s restructuring.

PROJECT NARRATIVE

The project’s sector goal is to contribute to PDDE implementation. The specific objectives are as follows: i) increase access and strengthen equity and quality in basic cycles 1 and 2 education; ii) improve school health and intensify STI/HIV/AIDS control; and iii) strengthen the institutional capacities of basic education. Project activities concern mainly Maradi, Tahoua, Tillabéry and Zinder regions. However, certain activities such as sensitization campaigns through radio and TV programmes concerned the entire country. The project has four (4) components.

Component 1: Access and quality improvement of basic cycles 1 and 2 education

This component covers: i) increase in formal education reception capacities in the above four project intervention regions, and ii) development of human potential by organizing training sessions. Activities planned under this component concern the construction of classrooms, pedagogical sectors, school canteens, laboratories and colleges; the extension of the National Maintenance Centre (CNM) premises; and the procurement of goods for infrastructure to be constructed for the Regional Departments of Secondary and Higher Education (DRESS). Support to school canteens is also planned by the WFP under this institution’s programme in Niger. Activities also concern various training sessions for teachers, COGES members, laboratory technicians and inspectors, with a view to developing human potential.

Component 2: Support for girls’ education and female literacy

This component seeks to contribute to the development of non-formal education, especially increasing the women’s adult literacy rate and promoting girls’ education. Activities planned under this component concern the construction of 60 PECs and 60 latrines; the procurement of various goods; the organization of literacy campaigns and public sensitization campaigns and training of gender teachers.

Component 3: School health improvement and STI/HIV/AIDS control

This component seeks to help the government in developing a school health strategy so as to improve its policy in the area. It also aims to intensify STI/HIV/AIDS control. To achieve these objectives, the project will carry out the following activities: procurement of goods (essential generic drugs for HIV-positive teachers), conduct of studies, organization of training sessions, and STI/HIV/AIDS sensitization. Component 4: Project management

Activities under this component concern the procurement of various goods and services and the operation of the Education Projects Implementation Office (BEPE).

PHYSICAL IMPLEMENTATION

PROJECT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION CONTEXT

Project context

The project was designed and developed in 2003 within the context of PDDE implementation. This programme is the single reference framework for the education policy, which gives priority to basic education in its implementation. The project is limited mainly to this sub-sector of the system. It intends, by taking into account the educational system’s constraints, to provide solutions to the problems of access, quality, relevance and equity of basic education, as well as health and STI/HIV/AIDS in schools. According to the Government and the Bank, these issues emerged as the main challenges to be faced by basic education in Niger over the next decade. The PDDE objectives constitute the essential elements of Niger’s poverty reduction strategy, whose major orientations are consistent with the Bank’s CSP for Niger.

Through this strategy, the Bank intends to contribute to 50% reduction in the number of poor people in the country by 2015, mainly by broadening access by poor people to quality social services, in which basic education occupies a prominent place. The discussions which led to project definition also concerned other stakeholders in the education sector, organized within a Partnership Framework. Indeed, support was discussed and validated with the other members of this structure, namely the WFP, the UNDP, the World Bank, the IDB, the EU and bilateral cooperation agencies active in Niger (especially Canada, France, Germany and Switzerland). Exchanges within the Partnership Framework also helped to coordinate the envisaged support so as to avoid duplication and maximize the chances of achieving the objectives pursued. Just like the other TFPs, the Bank’s intervention is based on a programme approach, but with its own procedures. Consultations between the Bank and the WFP within the Partnership Framework made it possible for the WFP to orientate its basic education support programme, as much as possible, within a parallel action framework in favour of schools retained by the project.

ACTIVITIES TO BE FINALIZED

These mainly are: (i) the completion of construction works of eleven (11) PECs executed up to 90% and whose contract was terminated; and (ii) the construction of Sakoira GEC, the rehabilitation of Téra SEC, Tillabery GEC 1, Filingué GEC and Ouallam GEC laboratories, the contractor not having completed works by 31 March 2011.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT

 Achievement of Development Objectives

- Economic impact: Substantial resources were injected into Niger’s economic fabric through the investments made. The private sector benefitted very much from it, particularly through conduct of architectural and technical studies, execution of construction works, and procurement of goods. Jobs were created, and goods and services consumed, without mentioning the long-term effect of the human investment made through education and training of beneficiaries. Small and medium- sized enterprises created jobs subsequent to the contracts that they obtained from the project.

- Social impact: Through the various activities, the project has contributed significantly to poverty reduction. It has therefore contributed to the achievement of the PRSP objectives, especially increasing access to social services and improving their quality. With the construction of 300 new classrooms, 7 GECs and 49 PECs, the project has extended intake capacities with about 12 000 additional places in basic cycle 1 education, 1 680 in basic cycle 2 and about 4 410 women for literacy campaigns. The project has improved the gross enrolment rate in basic cycle 1 as follows between 2002 and 2010: in Maradi from 40.8% to 75.3%; in Tahoua from 36% to 70.7%; in Zinder from 28.9% to 64.9%; and in Tillabéry from 39% to 68.9 %.

By extending the intake capacity of basic education through the construction of hundreds of new classrooms and school canteens mainly for girls, the project has made a positive contribution to girls’ school attendance and helped to increase their gross enrolment rates (basic cycle 1) in the regions retained.

 Prospects

The good performances obtained in the implementation of the Basic Education Enhancement Project (Education II/ADF Project) open new prospects for continued cooperation between the Government and the African Development Bank Group, especially in the area of National Education where considerable needs remain to be met in terms of improving the access and quality of education and strengthening human and institutional capacities.
