Furthermore, a new alternative design and supervision arrangement (ADSA) has been put in place to replace the underperforming Design and
Supervision firm. Despite the progress, there are some issues causing delays in project implementation including: (i) poor performance of some
contractors which has resulted in the need to terminate several contracts; (ii) need for variations in sites due to various construction and site
challenges; (iii) continues increases in construction costs, which may require an increase to the grant ceiling; and (iv) inability of some beneficiaries
to provide sufficient proof of land tenure documentation.
