FOREWORD
This Report is a restricted document prepared for the TanzanianGovernment, under the Cooperative Programme between Unesco and the WorldBank.
At the invitation of the Government, a mission composed ofMessrs. J. Bolibaugh, General Educator (leader), H. Baritsch, TechnicalEducator, T. Worku, Agricultural Educator, all Unesco staff members,and M. Priestman, Consultant Architect, visited the country in April/May 1981.
The assignment of the mission was to review in detail the history ofthe formulation and implementation of the project in order to identifypositive achievements and shortcomings of pre-appraisal activities; des-cribe and explain differences between appraisal forecasts and credit con-ditions with actual results concerning the implementation of hard andsoftware components; and to assess the appropriateness of appraisal/credit conditions and the assumptions about the Borrower's implementationcapacity.
Subsequently, in June 1981 a first draft of the Completion Report wassent to the relevant national authorities and to the World Bank, and in thelight of the comments received this final version has been prepared.
It should be noted that the opinions and conclusions expressed in thisReport are based solely on the considered judgement of the mission.

CHAPTER I
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Socio-Economic Characteristics
1.1 Tanzania has a land area of 886,000 sq.km., some 17 million people (1978)and a population of about 20 inhabitants per sq.km. (Kenya t 19, Uganda * 51).Most Tanzanians live on family smallholdings in Ujamaa villages in rural areaswith only 13 per cent living in urban areas. The recorded population growthrate is 3.3% per annum and the per capita GNP was estimated as US.$ 244 in 1978.Life expectancy averages 50 years and about 46% of the population is less than
15 years of age. Kiswahili is the national language and the medium of instruc-
tion in the primary schools. English is the medium in the secondary schools.
1.2 Some 90% of the total labour force works in agriculture, most in sub-sistence farming. About 10% of the total labour force are in the slowly growingwage employment sector; over two-thirds of the primary school leavers every
year must seek a livelihood in the rural sector. On the other hand, there isa shortage of local skilled manpower. In 1969 when a comprehensive survey was
carried out, Tanzanian citizens occupied only 34% of the posts requiring
university or equivalent education and 85% of those requiring secondary edu-
cation.
1.3 Agriculture, the main source of income and foreign exchange earnings, con-tributes 54% of Tanzania's GDP and 69% of its commodity exports. Manufacturing,mining, construction, transport and conmmunications together account for 19%of GDP while public utilities, commerce, finance, government and other servicesaccount for 27%. Efforts to promote manufacturing have not as yet yieldedsignificant results; growth of the economy depends heavily upon agriculture.
Development Strateg
1.4 The Arusha Declaration of 1967 defines the broad aims of Tanzanian devel-opment: to create a socialist economy and society devoid of tribal privilegeand economic exploitation and to achieve rapid economic growth in order toimprove the material and social well-being of the mass of the population.Foundations for socialism and for economic growth are to be established inthe rural sector and strict priority is to be given to rural development.The strategy for achieving these aims calls for: (a) reduction of inequalitiesin the distribution of income; (b) public ownership and control of all majorcompanies and firms; (c) modernization of agriculture and reduction in thesize of the subsistence sector; and (d) growth of manufacturing mainly tosupport rural development.
1.5 In conjunction with other measures, a more equitable distribution ofincome is being sought through wage and price controls and by heavy taxes onhigher income groups. The Government now owns or controls nearly all impor-tant enterprises. Private investment has declined sharply and many for-eigners, a substantial number of whom were managers, have left the country.As a result, the shortage of managerial personnel for the public and parastatalsectors has been aggravated.

a certain vagueness is involved. According to the information obtained by
the Mission, there is only one mobile unit which moves from site to site on a
prolonged schedule basis, reportedly due to the short supply of skilled workers.
This, along with other reasons, has resulted in serious delays in project
implementation and led to cost overruns (paras. 4.35 and 4.36). In one of
the latest Supervision Reports, it was reported that three CECs were still
under construction but shou be completed early enough to submit final
accounts by March 31, 1981.- In fact, there are four CECs still under
construction and the Mission estimates that final accounts may be submitted
by June 31, 1982.

CHAPTER III
PROJECT COST AND FINANCING
Capital Cost
3.1 Annex 13 shows that the final cost is expected to total T. Shs.
117,273,000 compared with the appraisal total of T. Shs. 104,110,000
which is about 13 per cent above appraisal. In US dollars however the
deflation of the Tanzanian currency during the period reverses the
picture. The final cost in dollars is expected to be US$ 14,249,000
whereas the appraisal anticipated US$ 14,581,000. This is a saving of
US$ 332,000 which is 2 per cent of appraisal. This could appear as an
academic point to the Tanzanians; they still have to contribute more
shillings to the project than was anticipated, but no additional funds
have been requested from the Bank. In this connection, the appraisal figure
included three secondary schools and considerable technical assistance which
were eliminated from the project due to cost overruns.
3.2 Annex 14 gives the detailed breakdown of Annex 13. As noted above,
a much larger o verrun was avoided by omitting altogether three new secondary
schools and by reducing the expenditure on medical specialists and fellowships.
This was agreed upon with the Bank early in 1975. The fact that costs have
been controlled since that date and that no further omissions were needed is
evidence of the care and restraint of the PPS. Annex 11 shows that there was
another important wave of inflation in 1980.
3 Annex 15 presrts the actual disbursements compared to the appraisal3.forecast year-by- year-. This is shown in graphic form in Annex 8. Actual
disbursements followed a very similar pattern, to the appraisal forecast,
although/they were delayed for the reasons detailed in various supervision
reports-
Space Allocations
3.4 Space allocations per student shown in Annex 10 are commendably close
to appraisal expectations . The exceptions are pointed out and explained by
the footnotes. Calculations of gross areas per student place are not applicable
for the medical facilities and have therefore been omitted from the annex.
Annex 16 shows again how floor areas and student capacities as built3.5
close to appraisal estimates. Increased costs are largely the resultwere
of inflation.
1/ A cable from EAPED of 22 June 1981 states that the Government has been
informed that final disbursements were made on 27 April 1981 and that
the remaining balance of US$ 107,611.62 under the credit is cancelled as of
16 June 1981. Thus there is a discrepancy of about US$ 60,000 with
the expectations of final total disbursements and remaining balance
given in Annex 15, footnote 4.

CHAPTER IV
1/PROJECT OPERATING OUTCOMES
Attainment of Project Objectives
4.1 In terms of the broad objectives of the project (para. 1.33) and the
project components designed to further them (para. 1.34), the project cannot
be described as an unqualified success. In some cases as noted below, the
initial objectives have not been achieved and, in others, there were deviations
from the original intentions. Further, as of the closing date of April 1981,
almost eight years after the signing of the credit agreement, certain institu-
tions were still not in operation (Annex 8). On the other hand, given the
complexity of the project, the geographical dispersion of the components, and
certain unforeseen and unavoidable constraints, some of the failures and
delays in implementati are understandable. In addition, measures taken
in subsequent projects-, notably equipment, library b3 2 ks and vehicles for

overcome some of the operational problems of these institutions.
4.2 In the mission's judgement, part of the deficiencies of the project
might have been avoided if the identification, preparation and appraisal
activities had been more t rough, interrelated, and extended in time as
in the developing practic e- within the Bank. Thus, thg/vari ety and dispersion
of the project components made implementation difficult- and 09

l/ In order to provide a comprehensive review of objectives versus outcomes,
in this chapter, considerable detail has been added concerning deficiencies
such as concerning construction and equipment. These are summarized in
Chapter II and cross-referenced to this chapter.
2/ The Sixth Project provides additional furniture, equipment and vehicles,
as well as student boarding and staff housing for the Mwanza and Tanga
VTCs. The mission questions the provision of student boarding and staff
houses since students and teachers live in the towns. The development(of the VTCs has demonstrated that they function to full capacity and
more) without these additions. In the light of this experience, it would
appear that the decision for subsequent Bank financing may have been
taken prematurely, and will have the consequence of making the VTCs more
expensive and more school-like. In other words, the subsequent Bank
financing could be considered as detracting from the very objectives of
the VTCs (i.e. training under conditions which approximate conditions in
industry), and appears detrimental to objectives normally associated
with Bank education projects (i.e. achievement of economy of operation).
