B. PROJECT CONTEXT

Summarize the rationale for Bank assistance. State: -what development challenge the project addresses, -the Borrower's overall strategy for addressing it, -Bank activities in this country (ies) and sector over the past year and how they performed, and -ongoing Bank and other externally financed activities that complement, overlap with or relate to this project. Please cite relevant sources. Comment on the strength and coherence of the rationale. [250 words maximum. Any additional narrative about the project's origins and history, if needed, must be placed in Annex 6: Project Narrative]

The Project Appraisal Report noted that T&T is a serious obstacle to poverty reduction and food security, so its removal is ideal. Once the tsetse has been removed and land management systems have been put in place, follow up investments in agriculture production and agro-processing would be sought. The projects aimed at creating sustainable tsetse-free areas in six countries in support of the eradication of tsetse and trypanosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa. The borrower's overall strategy for addressing it is by integrating suppression, control and eradication approaches while ensuring the reclaimed areas are sustainably, equitably and economically exploited. The project components were: (A)Tsetse Suppression and Eradication Component, comprising four subcomponents of (i) community involvement, (ii) Baseline data collection and

3

processing, (iii) Mass-rearing of tsetse flies, and (iv) Serial release of gamma-radiated sterile males aimed at suppressing approximately 20,000 km2 and eradicating about 20,000 km2 in the North West Region of Ghana. (B) Capacity Building Component, involving three subcomponents, namely, (i) An integrated data information system, (ii) Rehabilitation of sub-regional training facilities, and (iii) Strengthening of national and regional capacities. (C) Sustainable Land Management Component, comprising (i) Land use planning, and (ii) institutional strengthening.(D) Project Coordination and Management Component which involved setting up of a Project Coordination and Management Unit (PCMU) in Ghana; and establishment systems for information exchange and coordination between the national PCMUs, PATTEC “Focal Points” in Ghana and the AU/PATTEC Office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.The Onchocercosis and Rinderpest Programmes have succeeded as Pan-African efforts to control onchocercosis and rinderpest from the continent. The success of Africa’s major social and economic development initiatives currently underway, such as NEPAD, could be compromised in the absence of a lasting solution to the T&T problem. The design of the project has drawn on the lessons learned from implementing similar projects in Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Zanzibar as well as the intervention efforts of the affected countries and the donor community to control T&T in Africa over the past decades. Other AfDB financed project with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture in Ghana include: 1. Export Marketing and Quality Awareness Project started January, 2006. Will last 5 years 2. Afram Agricultural Development Project started November, 2006. Will last 5years 3. Cashew Development Project started October, 2006. Will last 5years 4. Northern Rural Growth Programme started June, 2008, Will last 6years. The Portfolio performance of project in Ghana is satisfactory and making significant impact to the development of the country.

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

10

In line with Paris Declaration, staff to implement the project were drawn from the ministry, trained and provided with necessary IT equipment and information system to ensure sustainability. The government provided its contribution by annual budget allocations. The design of the project drew on the lessons learned from implementing similar projects in Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Zanzibar as well as the intervention efforts of the affected countries and the donor community to control T&T in Africa over the past decades. The project drew from experiences and lessons of community involvement in the RTTCP, FITCA and several individual country tsetse control programmes.The communities were trained to carry out ground spraying; deployment of targets; administration of “pour-ons”; treatment of livestock and report any invasion to the paravet trained for the purpose. The insectary laboratory at Ghana Atomic Energy Commission was rehabilitated and equipped for the production and dissemination of sterile tsetse males to check reinvasion of the flies and ensure the sustainability of the success attained by the project.National capacities of both men and women for co-ordinated eradication of tsetse flies and trypanosomiasis will be strengthened through focused training of key staff, workshops and above all by “learning by doing”: A number of institutions with the required capability were used and contacted during the implementation to ensure available, current technologies to ensure success (ILRI, KETRI, ICIPE, Universities, CIRDES, ELAT). Representatives of the donor community contacted (American State department, European Union, World Bank, DFID, FAO, IAEA, KFW, German development agency) during project implementation which supported the achievement of project objectives.

Assess how well the Bank and the Borrower ensured compliance with safeguards. [200 words maximum. [Any additional narrative about implementation should be included at Annex 6: Project Narrative.]

All activities scheduled in the appraisal document were carried out. Resource mobilization was on schedule: all the project key personnel were timely appointed; and orientation workshops and staff capacity building were adequately implemented. Contractors and consultants delivered effectively and timely. The Bank (AfDB) undertook 7 supervisory missions, whilst PATTEC embarked on 3 review mission. Other missions included, 4 internal audit mission, 1 portfolio enhancement mission, 1 mid-term review mission and 1 monitoring mission during the 6 years. The recommendations of the aide-memoires were adequately implemented. The frequent missions and skill mix ensured proper guidance for effective project implementation. Most of the critical project outputs were delivered in satisfactory conditions. All planned equipments were purchased and confirmed adequate and arrived on time. The expenditures were adequately justified. Relevant supporting documents (invoices, expenditure request memos, receipts etc.) were properly recorded and filed. Adequate prudence, transparency and accountability were exercised in all purchases made and the annual audited accounts of the project were duly transmitted on schedule to relevant stakeholders. Project implementation followed the best practice approach within the reach of the implementing agency. Project outputs were delivered at competitive prices. The PMCU proposed and modified some aspects of the project strategies: the purchase and introduction of sterile male flies Sterile Insect Technonolgy (SIT) approach was not practicable consequently, with due approval from the Bank, the PMCU adopted the practicable, time saving and more cost effective Sequential Aerosol Technique (SAT) strategy. Implementation records included mandatory quarterly, annual and mission reports as well as copious data collection and record keeping to track key project indicators (KPI) during the implementation. There were annual work and monitoring plans; and periodic progress reports. The Bank and borrower to a large extent ensured compliance with the safeguards especially environmental and human health during the project implementation. Consultants (8 person/month) were recruited to prepare indicators and protocol and to monitor regularly the activities of the project.

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.

The only co-finacer is the GoG. No other NGOs or donors contributed funds. However, Ghana Health Service, Disease Control Division supported by WHO provided technical support to the health team to carry out the Sleeping Sickness Surveys. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Ghana provided guidelines on pesticide use. FAO, Animal Health Division, Rome, provided 10 man-days technical support to develop the database design.

The borrower prepared an Internal PCR and submitted it to the Bank. An African Development Bank Group PCR team, led by a Development Economist (Team Leader) visited Accra, Tamale and Wa in the Upper West Region of Ghana from 21st November to 5th December, 2011. The Mission visited the project headquarters at Pong Tamale and held several meetings with Dr.Charles Mahama, (Project Coordinator) and his team. The mission visited the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Accra, Ghana and had discussions with the Director of Veterinary Services Directorate Dr. Mark-Hansen; the Ghana Field Office of the African Development Bank; the insectary at Ghana Atomic Energy Commission and met Dr. A Yawson and his technical team; the Disease Control and Prevention Department of the Ministry of health, Ghana and had discussion with the Director Dr. KyeiFaried; met with other development partners including: Mrs. Azara Ali Mamshie, the National Coordinator of West Africa Agricultural Productivity Programme (WAAPP)-Ghana; The mission visited Jamboso community in the Wa West District and held meeting with Chief, Dare Soyare, and members of the village community of which in attendance was 23 men, 4 women and 2 children. The mission visited the 2.5Ha fodder bank of “cajanus cajan” which was one of the outputs of the Sustainable land Management component. The community reported that the eradication has made it possible for them to sit under the shade of trees and carry out off-farm activities; that it had positive effect on the health of livestock and humans; that they have not observed any adverse side effect; that with the assistance of the local Paravets, they are fully mobilized to combat the tsetse flies. The project is contributory unit to the Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy (FASDEPII) which feeds into the Ghana Medium Term Agriculture Sector Investment Plan (METASIP 2011-2015). The production and dissemination of sterile tsetse males from the insectary at Ghana Atomic Energy Commission laboratory will ensure the sustainability of the success attained by the project. The Disease Control and Prevention Department of the Ministry of health, informed the mission that it fully participated in the Tsetse Control and Eradication Project. At the end of CATT screening exercise Zero burden of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) in Ghana was established with certainty. There was no record of any person that was adversely affected due to the spraying activities. The Human Health Department received excellent support from the tsetse project; He emphatically indicated that the project was a clear demonstration that good working relationship could exist between Human and Animal Health in Ghana which was achieved through advocacy and collaborative arrangements of the tsetse project coordinator.

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]

1) There was only one logical framework (design) for the 7 countries involved in the project. In a multi-national project; it would have been proper to articulate the Logframe for individual countries thereafter consolidate them into the whole project Logframe. 2) There was no inbuilt counterpart contribution in kind for the communities in the project areas to buy into the project subsequently sustain the project benefits even after the funding life of the project. 3) Members of the communities should have been organized into Economic Interest Groups that would be locally registered as cooperating unit; conduct regular meetings; share ideas and information on the project; and make some regular contributions to enable them operate group fodder bank farms; buy insecticides; “pour on”; targets or seek paravet assistance (if the need arose); systematically contribute labour when necessary (counterpart funding in kind) to ensure project sustainability even after the funding period. 4) Appropriate and capable leadership for the project: the project was a clear demonstration that good working relationship could exist between Human and Animal Health in Ghana which was achieved through advocacy and collaborative arrangements of the project coordinator. 5) Timely recognition that reliance on the application of SIT in Ghana would not lead to the achievement of the project objectives, consequently, the timely switch over to integrated strategy including the adoption of SAT which was more cost effective, timely and efficient in delivering the project objectives. 6) The flexible and result oriented management of the Bank: the Bank demonstrated its emphasis on results in timely approval of moving funds from the purchase of sterile insects to aerial spray. 7) At the End of CATT screening exercise, Zero burden in Ghana was established with certainty and there was no record of any person that was adversely affected due to the spraying activities.
