Measures have been successfully implemented over the last 15 months to accommodate the expansion of the geographic scope from 25 districts to national coverage as per the provisions of the Additional Financing. This has allowed the project to now move to full implementation. Significant measures adopted include the introduction of the project implementation support teams (PRIST) in all 5 regions, the complete overhaul of matching grant guidelines and procedures, and the development of additional windows under the PACT matching grant program to respond to the needs of different stakeholders (including micro grants for smallholders and micro entrepreneurs). To date, the PACT matching grant program (Call 1 and 2) has supported over 232 cooperatives, 151 farmer groups, 150 small & medium entrepreneurs and 9 producer associations. Project activities (matching grant Call 1 and 2 only) reach out to over 40,000 beneficiaries, of which over 40% are women. A total of over 2,500 sub projects (Call 1 to 5) are expected to be implemented by the closing date of the PACT. The disbursements of the project have considerably improved and the PACT expects to absorb around USD20 million in FY15 and FY16 each, compared to USD5 million in FY13. At this rate, project funds could be depleted a couple of years before closing date and the GoN will need to engage the Bank in early discussions on the medium term outlook of the PACT. To that effect, the PACT and the Bank team agreed to carry out a second mid- term review in early 2015.
