The Comoros Social Fund's Project
objective is to support demand driven initiatives developed
by communities and in so doing create employment and improve
access to basic services. The project became effective on
August 5, 1998. Barely ten days later, the deteriorating
country situation led to a suspension of disbursements. The
Government basically disengaged from any development related
activities and the constant reshuffling of Ministers in
Comoros permitted very little dialogue on education, health
or social protection issues. The project was designed to
have Comorian rural communities as its key interlocutor.
Communities in Comoros are strong, dynamic, and their
cohesiveness results in a short and medium-term vision as to
what type of development activities are priorities for their
respective communities (school rehabilitation, water, feeder
road rehabilitation, etc.) and a willingness to invest time
and money (mainly from remittances from family members
abroad) to achieve their development goals. The project was
supervised in 3 phases: (i) suspension of disbursements
(August 1998 March 2000); (ii) project start-up after the
suspension was lifted (March 200-March 2001); and (iii)
"normalization" (April 2001-present). A quality of
supervision of risk projects was conducted by the
Bank's Quality Assurance Group ( QAG ) in October 2001.
The overall assessment was that this was an exemplary
supervision effort, adapting to difficult and changing conditions. |
