However the appointment of the Project Director was delayed until late May 2017 and appointment of key consultants for the PMU remains delayed. Hiring of District Facilitators is delayed and have adversely affected the implementation of sub-project schemes in the Union Parishad although Basic Block Grants (BBG) have already been disbursed to the UPs. Any further slippages in meeting deadlines on key actions agreed with the PMU would affect the overall project implementation progress.
