ADB has awarded three of its best performing project teams for the year 2015 in Bangladesh to promote efficient project implementation, a press release said.
Oleg Tonkonojenkov, Deputy Country Director of the ADB’s Bangladesh Resident Mission presented the awards to the winning teams at a ceremony in Dhaka on Wednesday.
Senior government officials, project directors of ADB-assisted projects, members of the winning project teams, and ADB staff attended the ceremony.
The winning project teams are Secondary Education Sector Investment Program (SESIP) (Tranches 1 and 2), executed by Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education; Second and Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Projects, executed by the Local Government Engineering Department; and Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program (Tranche 1), executed by the North West Power Generation Company Ltd.
The Second Crop Diversification Project, executed by the Department of Agricultural Extension; and City Region Development Project, and Sustainable Rural Infrastructure Improvement Project executed by the Local Government Engineering Department won special recognition for continued excellence in performance.
“The project/program teams were selected for results delivery, effective project implementation, efficiency, efforts to empower women, transparency, and other criteria”, said Deputy Country Director Oleg Tonkonojenkov.
The best project team recognition program was initiated in 2001, and has been a regular annual exercise by ADB to promote development effectiveness of ADB-assisted projects in Bangladesh.
Secondary Education Sector Investment Program (first and second tranches with $90 million and $185 million ADB loans respectively) is supporting government’s reform of secondary education (grades 6-12) into a system that builds the foundation for a skilled labor force and prepares youths to meet the requirements of a rapidly developing economy. Infrastructure, teaching materials, teacher training, and stipend, among others, are being provided to promote education quality, equity and efficiency.
The Second and Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement Projects (with $87 million and $125 million ADB loans respectively) have been helping selected municipalities to improve infrastructure, other services, governance and inclusive participation making them more livable and attractive, and helping to ease population pressures in major cities.
