Agri sector unlikely to reach ADP implementation goal
The ADP projects in agriculture sector for the current fiscal year will not yield the desired result because of Improper identification. Inadequate preparation and poor project appraisal.
Official sources told UNB the progress of implementation of 57 agri projects under the Annual Development Programme (ADP) for fiscal 1994-95 is very slow." These projects involve a total cost of Tk 463.47 crore.
The implementation rate in 'he agriculture sector fell from 90 per cent in 1992 to 76 per cent in 1993. implying a 12 per cent fall in public investment in that sector.
Of the 57 projects, 40 are investment projects and 17 technical assistance projects. Fourteen different departments and agencies are implementing these projects.
The agri-projects will not be completed within stipulated time-frame if 10 per cent work Is not done every month.
said A K M Giasuddin Milky, a planning expert at the Department of Agriculture Extension.
Major shortfalls in the implementation of the 1993 ADP occurred in the self-financed portion, and in agriculture, rural development and transport. The realization rate of the selffinanced programme fell from 144 per cent in 1991 and 129 per cent in 1992 to 74 "per cent in 1993.
The lackluster ADP performance over the past three years, and commensurately, a ratio of public investment to GDP that has not yet reached six per cent, is a matter of considerable and continuing concern, according to experts.
It represents a major failure of the jiolitical leadership and the civil service to take advantage of the current window of opportunity to promote growth and the resulting poverty alleviation. said the World Bank country report.
The Bank remarked that a
more rapid implementation of the ADP is the most effective direct instrument at the government's disposal for stimulating investment, employment and economic growth.
To improve the capacity of mid-level agricultural officials for project implementation, a 12-day training course on "Identification. Preparation and Appraisal of Agricultural Projects" will begin in the city on October 17.
The course, intended to train participants on the technique and skill of managing and supervising agricultural projects, is being jointly organised by Islamic Development Bank (1DB) and Department of Agricultural Extension.
Twelve participants from Bangladesh and 10 from 1DB member countries — Albenia. Azerbaijan. Brunei. Gambia. Indonesia. Iran. Malaysia. Maldives, Uganda, Pakistan, Sierra Leon, Turkey and Kerges Republic will attend the training course.
