D. Issues and Challenges
- Series of festivals Provincial and Federal level election had short term delay in programme implementation.
- The contract management for task oriented activities are to significantly improved with duly follow up of contract administration
- To proceed time taking consulting tasks, for example, preparation of DPRs for bankable projects is still not expedited.
- Some major process oriented activities are substantially pending due to the absence of Experts, who were supposed to be hired.
- The contract periods of some experts have expired on 31st January, however the new contracting process is still not expedited. This could hamper the programme implementation.
