MEM capacity building activities – both central and local - were carried out under various components continuing to strengthen technical knowledge in sector planning and management. Institutional oversight to better govern the hydropower and mining sectors is gradually improving. Procurement of all critical TA packages (power sector reform, mining sector strategy and strategic environmental and social assessment, electricity tariff, IPP processes, geo-data infrastructure including geological survey and mapping) have been completed and work is underway to develop tools and management systems to enhance MEM oversight capacity. Coordination among implementing agencies improved substantially through regular project monitoring meetings and the establishment of technical working groups for all deliverables under the project.
