EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Regional Fisheries and Livestock Component was initiated in October 2006, but theDevelopment Project Proforma was not approved until October 2007. The period from October2006 to the date of DPP approval was operated through an Interim Operations and ManagementUnit (IOMU) staffed with a limited number of TA staff.

In the Noakhali TSU, a full-time Project Director was appointed in August 2007. The ProjectManagement has remained unchanged since then. Even though the Development Project Proforma

was approved in October 2007, the formal process of recruitment of GOB and Technical Assistancestaff was not completed until March 2008. Also the Project extension mode, emphasizing theFarmer Field School was rather unfamiliar to government staff. As such expenditures to the end of April 2008 were limited and began to pick-up only from May 2008.

In the Barisal Technical Support Unit, the first Project Director was appointed November 2007. Heresigned in 2009 and his replacement transferred in November 2009. A new PD has taken up hisresponsibilities. A new Senior Advisor was appointed after the former Senior Advisor completedhis tenure in November 2009.

Despite late start-up, the Component has substantially achieved its targets, In Barisal , this has beenparticularly in regards to FFS and support to the private sector. Lately it has increased its support tothe capacity developmen t of CBOs and Union Parishads Standing Committees for Fisheries andLivestock. New emphasis is being given to the development of linkages between the Private Sectorand the CBOs.

In Noakhali activities are now in full momentum after the initial delays. Since then there has been amajor acceleration of activities, especially in the implementation of Farmer Field Schools and in


11/81


Increase in the number of Farmer Field Schools to 5,800 in Noakhali and greater flexibilityin the mode of implementation;

A greater concentration on the hardcore poor in key ecologies; A wider range of channels for the disbursement of the Block Grant, including directly to the

Union and on a pilot basis - to the Upazila Parishads; Use of credit funds for Project operations; In Noakhali , a new Output 5 to allow for incorporation of the activities of the Poultry

Research and Training Centre at the Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University,but also allowing for expansion of capacity building with Upazila offices;

Expansion of the number of technical assistance staff to allow for the increased poverty

focus and intensified capacity building efforts with local institutions; Procurement of more vehicles, motorcycles and computers; An expanded adaptive research programme; An increase in the DPA budget to support these activities and in the GOB budget to cater

for increased construction costs and higher GOB salaries.

Unfortunately the approval of the Revised Development Project Proforma was delayed considerablydue to bureaucratic procedures, first in the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock and then in thePlanning Commission. This has meant that disbursement on any items requiring RDPP approvalwas held up, except where the original budget lay with the Embassy of Denmark. Thus thedisbursement of initial funds for adaptive research has been approved.

The RDPP for Noakhali was approved in March 2010 and that Component has now been able toaccelerate disbursement and activities. Unfortunately, at the end of the reporting period, the RDPPfor Barisal had still not been approved and this delay has prevented necessary formal adjustments.The Barisal TSU has thus been forced to make new appointments of District Coordinators, proposedin the RDPP, and for the time being initially employed as short term consultants.

ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT AND WORK PLAN

1. INTRODUCTIONThe Regional Fisheries and Livestock Development Projects in Barisal and Noakhali are two of originally four Components of the Regional Fisheries and Livestock Component (RFLDC). Theyare field-based components, managed through Technical Support Units, based in Barisal andNoakhali. The Barisal TSU is managed by a Project Director recruited from the Department of Fisheries, which is seen as the lead implementing agency. He is supported by a Deputy ProjectDirector, drawn from the Department of Livestock Services. By contrast, the Noakhali TSU ismanaged by a Project Director recruited from the Department of Livestock Services, which is seenas the lead implementing agency. He is supported by a Deputy Project Director, drawn from theDepartment of Fisheries, which is the supporting agency. In both sub-components, expatriate SeniorAdvisors backstop the Project Management and are currently joint signatories on Componentaccounts. Each Technical Support Unit has a staff of full-time professionals and support staff, 82 inNoakhali and, pending approval of the RDPP, 63 in Barisal. In Barisal several new staff have beenrecruited on a short term basis, in anticipation of approval of the RDPP. The ComponentOrganograms are presented in Annexes 1a and, for Barisal 1b; it may be noted that there has beensubstantial amendment of the Barisal organogram which makes it rather similar to that of Noakhali.

The Component activities started in October 2006, following the signing of the Government toGovernment Agreement. However, the Component operated through an Interim Management andOperations Unit until the end of 2007. The Inception Report for the RFLDP as a whole was drawnup during this period and submitted in May 2007. This phase was managed by the Danida SeniorAdvisors, already appointed in October 2006 (Barisal) and January 2007 (Noakhali). TheDevelopment Project Proforma (DPP) was approved in October 2007. The Project Director inNoakhali was appointed in August 2007, but he did not assume signatory powers until the approvalof the DPP. The Project Director in Barisal formally joined in December 2007. Formal staff


13/81


In the context of the Agricultural Sector Programme Support, the two DPP-based Projects, inDanida terms Technical Support Units, constitute a single Component and there should be close co-

operation between them. This was lacking up to the end of 2009, but formal inter-componentcoordination meetings have been held over the last nine months, as well as exchange visits, a jointworkshop on the FFS approach (March 31-April 1, 2010) and several meetings on the developmentof a common monitoring framework. The latter includes joint development of an FFS impactevaluation study to be implemented during the next quarter and common tools for regularinformation collection on CBO profiles, monthly service delivery activities, outcomes of the AnnualGeneral Meetings and capacity assessment. Work has also begun on the development of a commonwebpage and logo for the Component, led by the Audio-Visual Specialist of the Barisal Component.

2.2 National context

The DPP-based, RFLDP, Barisal and Noakhali Components (united in the ASPS II RFLDC), areoriented towards improving the livelihood of the rural poor. It therefore contributes to achievementof the Poverty Reduction Strategy of the Government of Bangladesh. The current PRSP recognizesthe potential contribution of both the fisheries and livestock sub-sectors to poverty alleviation.

RFLDP s highly participatory extension strategy is in line with the National Fisheries Strategy,published in 2006, and it also supports this strategy in its work to establish a fully traceable prawnindustry in the Noakhali region.

RFLDP s emphasis on the development of Community -based Organizations to provide supportservices is in line with the National Livestock Development Policy recently published, while itsattempt build the capacity of the Union Parishad in local economic development complementsseveral other donor projects supporting an increased role for Local Government Institutions indevelopment in Bangladesh.

these new areas and creating the conditions including more secure settlement and water resourcedevelopment - onto which RFLDC can piggy-back in its fisheries and livestock development

activities. RFLDC has contributed to recent feasibility studies conducted by CDSP III in theunempoldered chars south of the mainland. Some other projects such as the Market InfrastructureDevelopment Project for the Coastal Region and CARE Shouardo have a strong concentration ondevelopment of farmer organizations, which offers scope for collaboration. As the regionaluniversity in the livestock sector, there is scope for direct co-operation with the ChittagongVeterinary and Animal Sciences University, which has been regularized by the transfer of responsibility for the Poultry Research and Training Centre to RFLDC, Noakhali. There is alsodialogue with Noakhali Science and Technology University on how to involve young faculty in theProjects research activities.

3. PROGRESS

3.1 Contribution to reaching programme level indicator targets

ASPS II programme level indicators include number of households trained (largely under the

Farmer Field School approach) and achieving a 30% increase in income levels, as well asnutritional indicators (Annex 2). By the end of June 2010, a total of 4,956 Farmer Field Schools hadbeen completed (Barisal 3,317, Noakhali 1,639), involving a total of 123,900 households.

The completion of these FFS has allowed the Monitoring and Evaluation Units of the Component tobegin to make impact assessments. Results are currently available in Noakhali, where theComponents Monitoring and Evaluation Unit completed a sample impact survey in 2009 on thegroups in the first two cycles. The results of this study are highly encouraging. The FFS participants

3.2 Status of Immediate objectives and outputs

a) Immediate objective

Progress in relation to the Immediate Objective of RFLDC is summarized in Annexes B-3 and N-3.A narrative commentary for each Component is given below.

Barisal

The results of the pilot study in 2009 in Barisal were extrapolated for 1647 completed FFS,therefore covering 37842 households. This study reveals that a total of 9810 households haveincreased production from livestock and fisheries by at least 100%, 987 households by 80-99%,3166 households by 50-79% and 5186 households by 0-49% increase over the baseline recorded in2007, while 13766 households remain below the baseline. The study also reveals that average fishproduction is about 8.3 kg/decimal which is a 35.8% increase over the baseline and average number

of birds is 26 which is about 34.7% over the baseline of 19 birds.

Noakhali

From the results of the sample survey of the first two cycles of FFS conducted in Noakhali,increased production from all sectors covered were in line with the indicator: egg production fromchickens and ducks increased by 97% and meat production by 112%, production from aquacultureby 100% and from aquaculture systems with prawn by 147%. Incremental incomes from the sectors


16/81


A total of 652 trained Local Facilitators are involved in this process. Most FFS have been conductedthrough Community-based Organizations (CBOs), the rest through local facilitators supervised by

project staff where the CBOs were under the process of formation. The local facilitators join inthose CBOs when formed. A total of 172 FFS Field Days and 48 cross-visits have also taken placeacross the Barisal TSU command area.

For persons to be trained, which are not living in a close cluster and cannot afford time to normalFFS duration training within CBOs, special training types has been conducted. A total of 5198 inputproviders (5% Paravets, 34% PL/Carp fry Nurseries, 21% Dairy farmers, 7% Fry traders, 3%Harvesters and 32% others 1) have been trained (more than 50% of total target) and especially the

Paravets, have already improved their services to the farmers, not only the mortality of chicken issubstantially reduced, but also added an average amount 2 of Tk. 1,700 per month to the paravetsincomes.

Noakhali

In Noakhali, a total of 3,808 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) have now been started, 491 in the latestcycle beginning in May-June 2010. 1,639 FFS from the first four cycles have now been phased out,with an effort underway to ensure that participants remain in contact with or become members of their respective CBOs. The total number of FFS is 65.7% of the overall revised target for theComponent of 5,800 FFS. Almost all (88%) are being run through Community-based Organizations.In all cases, the FFS are being conducted by young people drawn from the local community andknown as Local Facilitators (LF). 591 LF have graduated from Season Long Learning (SLL), farabove the target figure for Local Facilitators; the higher numbers are necessary because of the delayin start-up and because each FFS runs for an extended period of 12-18 months in order to cover thedifferent livelihood options. This means that there is a limit on the number of new FFS each LF canhandle in each cycle.


17/81


In Noakhali also, there has been a steady process of orientation of the LCS members to draw theminto the FFS. In Cycle 6, 814 LCS women were enrolled in 47 FFS run specifically for the group in

Lakshmipur district, another 658 in Subornachar Upazila of Noakhali district and 312 in HatiyaUpazila. This brings the total enrollment in the FFS to 2,740 LCS members out of a total of 3,969who have been enrolled in the orientation workshops to date.

Output 2

Barisal245 Community-based Organizations (CBO) are now operational under the Barisal sub-component.

Of these 210 are Union-based CBOs and 35 are Community-based Fisheries Management CBOscentered on Jalmohals. 129 CBOs are registered with the Cooperative Department and 116 inprocess of registration). The reason for delay in registration is that most Cooperative Offices in theUpazilas are requesting the CBOs to pay for their service, which seems illegal. About 50% of FFSfarmers have joined the CBOs.RFLDC, Barisal, is conducting an extensive programme of capacity building with these youngorganizations and in the period January-June 2010 in particular a total of 1,634 CBO members, 7%of them women were trained to form procurement committees in order to carry out their activities

according to Project guidelines and in a transparent manner. Besides a total of 132 CBO executives(50% Presidents and 50% Secretaries) have been trained on the application of CBO procurementpolicy and guidelines in purchase of inputs for farmers. According to an internal assessmentconducted by the TSU, positive changes in the management and technical capacity of the CBOshave been found following these trainings.

Some of the CBOs members have been trained as Local Facilitator, Paravets etc. The CBO ismeeting every second month in the Upazilla with Upazila technical staff (Upazila Fisheries officers,Upazila Livestock officers, DTA staff and others) to discuss their problems and find solutions.

prepared. After request from the Government of Nepal (GoN), it includes recommendations mainlyto the Department of Agriculture in how to improve their extension work. A workshop on CBO

development and extension work is proposed by GoN. Noakhali

136 Community-based Organizations are now operating in the Greater Noakhali region, over half of the total targeted in the DPP. A further 20 CBOs are in the process of development, the majorityderiving from the Union Coordination Committees organized by the NGO, CODEC, in Lakshmipur,from IPM Clubs under the Agricultural Extension Component, mainly in Feni and Lakshmipur andfrom FFS groups in areas some distance away from existing CBOs

The range of activities conducted by the CBOs remains broad and some have become matureorganizations, both financially viable and able to take on responsibilities for local development.These are now termed advanced CBOs. An overview of the distribution of the different activitiescarried out by the CBOs is offered in Figure 1.

Regular visits are made to the CBO to ensure their financial management is kept up to scratch. Fiveyoung Decentralized Accounts Officers have now been recruited for this purpose. It is estimated

that 80% of the CBOs are now running their accounts adequately, but changes inn personnel of theCBO cashiers remains a problem.

The original Greater Noakhali CBO Association (GNCA) developed under the previous project hasnow been split into four district associations, including a separate association in Hatiya. These haveheld elections. All have developed business plans for 2009 and the Associations in Lakshmipur andFeni in particular are beginning to move to a sustainable basis.

Output 3:

Prawn Industry

Barisal supports currently five prawn hatcheries. In 2007-2009, these hatcheries produced about31.8 million post-larvae, 80% of which are sold in neighboring districts. The PL are well reputed inother parts of Bangladesh for their quality However, because if the difficulty in marketing in theprevious year, not all have been operational in 2010. The three hatcheries operating have so farproduced a total of 10.1 million post-larvae, again mainly for sale outside the Project area, and onlyone of them is making a profit because of competition from wild post-larvae and low-qualityimported PL from India. The linkages between the hatcheries and the CBOs are being developed bythe Private Sector Specialist, but the farmers seems to be hesitant to involve them in the Prawnindustry, due to the frequent natural calamities.

Noakhalis prawn industry also continues to experience problems. Although the Project has tried torestore the supply network between the hatcheries and the Community-based Organizations,especially through the training of CAARP (see above) and although the demand for post-larvae is


20/81


selected local hatcheries to ensure seed quality. The Contract Agreement for this study, which alsoinvolves staff of DOF and the Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, was signed in June 2010.

Linkages in Input Suppliers

Both Components continue to support existing partners in the agribusiness sector with technicalsupport. However, after the disappointment of the effort to enlist specific investors in the dairyindustry and in day-old duckling production, there has been some shift in strategy towardsfacilitating access by the CBOs to sources of quality input supply in general. The NoakhaliComponent has begun to seek a partnership with local large scale agricultural producers as sourcesof quality input supply to the Community-based Organizations. These larger farms bring in inputs,which they use themselves, for onward sale to the CBOs and also produce inputs such as fruit andvegetable seeds, fodder cuttings and stock of local naked neck chicks for sale. Memoranda are beingprepared which may involve joint research on some of these inputs. These Memoranda follow themodel of the relationship with Southern Agro Trades, which operates the goat kid multiplicationKids and lambs (from sheep reared largely in the chars during the winter months) are now beingdistributed regularly through the CBOs, but there is also co-operation between the Farm and theProject in supply of fodder cuttings and in conduct of research into the development of a feedingstrategy for goats under the ASPS II Adaptive Research Programme (see below)

The Barisal Component is working on establishing linkages between its new CBO Associations andprivate sector suppliers of fish and shrimp seed, poultry feed and vegetable seeds. TechnicalAssistance staff have held several meetings in Dhaka and Barisal with the management of theseenterprises and several have agreed to offer at least one dealership to the Districts CBOAssociations for supplying their products to the farmers. A total of 6 agreements have now beensigned.


21/81


process is a major achievement for the CBOs as they are rectifying themselves and as the membersare pressurizing the executive committee using their democratic rights to exclude those involved inirregularities and making them repay. The many of the reported CBO has now changed theirexecutive bodies democratically.

In 2009, the Block Grant was also given directly to CBOs mainly (Tk15 mln) for construction of CBO offices and for CBFM for constructing pens and cages. The design of the offices was uniform,and the DoF Divisional Engineer assisted in the design and in the technicalities of construction. 55offices have been completed. This support will be evaluated as to whether it makes a moresustainable organization compared to CBOs with only rented offices.

Since mid-2009, according to the advice of Technical Review Mission, RFLDC, Barisal has re-oriented the distribution of the Block Grants to be channelized through the Union Parishads andaway from investments in offices towards different IGAs, mainly within the fisheries and livestock sectors. Two options are being followed, to the accounts of the UP where these have adequatecapacity for onward transfer to the CBOs making proposals and the other option, directly to theaccounts of the CBOs where this is not the case. In both cases, the UPs will be involved inmonitoring and supporting the CBOs BG proposals for which they receive a 10% administrativecharge. In making this shift, RFLDC, Barisal has undertaken a significant capacity building effortwith the Union Parishads. A one-day orientation workshop on UP Block Grant Implementation andManagement was organized during the reporting period at 5 venues in three districts involving 579participants (122 UP Chairmen, 128 UP Secretaries, 166 CBO Presidents and 163 CBO Secretaries).These efforts have also included two International Study Tours for UPs Chairmen conducted in late2009 in Nepal, where participants have experienced new learning on operations of LocalGovernment bodies through exchange & sharing described above.

Output 5 (Exclusive to Noakhali):

The new Output in the RDPP for Noakhali was developed to incorporates the activities of the

Poultry Research and Training Centre (PRTC), previously managed by the Support Unit in DLS.RFLDC, Noakhali, assumed the coordinating function in July 2009 and RFLDC management hasattended several meetings with CVASU management, including two Board Meetings. Althoughrelationships are excellent, there has been some delay in implementation of further activities atPRTC, partly because the transfer of funds to PRTC was held up due to the delay in approval of theRDPP, partly because of student unrest at CVASU. Thus the Annual Scientific Conferencescheduled for March 2010 has been postponed, Masteral research scholarships are still to beawarded and the refurbishment and equipping of the PRTC laboratories is still incomplete. Several

modules of the CLW training were held up because of the strikes and the work on development of new curricula for poultry technicians and field veterinarians has been held up.

This output also includes activities oriented towards capacity building of the Upazila level officersof the Department of Livestock Services and the Department of Fisheries in Greater Noakhali. Todate, with the limited Upazila Operations Fund, the Project has been offering modest logisticalsupport to these offices to allow them to run Upazila Coordination Meetings (UCM) with the CBOsand fuel and maintenance for motorcycles provided by the Project and its predecessors. In additionsupport has been given for training workshops for Department of Livestock Services campaign topromote small-scale dairy farming (in December 2008) and for the Department of Fisheriescampaigns and rallies associated with jatka conservation (February 2009).

Sadly, activities under this Output have slowed down in the last 6 months because of the discoveryof a case of petty corruption in one Upazila Livestock Office by the EOD External Audit conductedin May 2009. This discovery led EOD to request RFLDC, Noakhali, to conduct its own InternalAudit of all UFO and ULO, which has indicated a much wider problem. At the completion of theInternal Audit process in January 2010, misuse of project funds had been identified in 26 offices,

3.3 Activities and DPP status

Barisal

The revision of the RDPP, which was initiated in the summer of 2009, was finally completed inMarch 2010. The draft was reviewed at a Pre-ECNEC meeting on May 10 th, 2010, which raised

further issues in relation to the re-allocation of Danida funds. A recast RDPP, in which the issuesmentioned have been clarified, has been handed over to DOF and MOFL. In the absence of theapproval of the RDPP, Annex 5b presents progress in relation to specific activities comparative tothe overall targets in the proposed revision of the Development Project Proforma.

Despite the delay in approval of the RDPP, in order to decentralize project implementation as wellas to maintain closer monitoring of activities, the Barisal TSU has created the positions of DistrictCoordinator. To speed up the process, by the end of June 2010, the TSU had already selected fiveDistrict Coordinators on a short-term Master Roll basis. The staff are expected to be in position in

3.4 Summary Financial status Danida and GOB contribution

Barisal

The ADP budget for the 2009-10 Financial Year (Year 3 of the DPP) for the Barisal Componentwas set at Tk339.9 million. The actual expenditure was about 62% of the total budget (Tk209.31million), although the achievement was not evenly distributed, with some budget lines has wellutilized or not be utilized at all, whereas in some areas utilization was 100%. Budget lines underspend included International and Regional Consultants, Review of CBO Experience BaselineSurvey of UPs, Disbursement of Block Grant, International Study Tours, Procurement of Vehiclesand use of CD-VAT and other minor procurements. In some cases, the decision has depended uponhigher authority specifically the approval of the RDPP.

The DPA budget for 2009-2010 was set at Tk307.7 million, of which just 59.1% was disbursed forthe reasons outlined above. A further budget of Tk32.2 million was allocated under the GOB budget,of which Tk27.5 million was disbursed (86%) thanks to the construction activities on the poultryhatchery building and the DFO office buildings in Barguna and Jhalakati.

A portion of the funds allocated in the DPP, has not been possible to use, due to changed priorities,which was funds originally allocated for Credit, Baseline Surveys and Contingencies. These lockedfunds are a major part of the reason for the statistically low financial achievements according to theDPP, and an approved RDPP will be very helpful in this regard.

Noakhali

The DPP Budget for 2009-2010 (Year 3 of the Project) was set at Tk146.53 million for the DPAbudget, including contingency of Tk13.32 million. A further budget of Tk4.92 million was set under

million or 79.41%. Having said that, most of the remaining Tk30 million held in PRTC iscommitted and will be disbursed before October 2010.

4. OUTSTANDING ISSUES & FOLLOW-UP

4.1 Outstanding issues from last CSC and PSC meetings

4.1.1 Programme Steering Committee

A Programme Steering Committee Meeting was held on May 23rd

, 2010. Relevant issues forComponent included:

(a) Minute 3.2.1: Coordination between Components. This Progress Report bearswitness to the intensified degree of co-operation between the Components andbetween the two field Components of RFLDC

(b) Minutes 3.2.2/6.6: Revision and Approval of the RDPP. The impacts of the delayfor the approval of the Barisal RDPP are highlighted in several places in this

Progress Report. The PSC decided that the Planning Commission would takenecessary measures for quick approval.(c) Minute 8.1: Handing over of Jalmahals from the Ministry of Land to the Ministry

of Fisheries and Livestock. The PSC suggested that MOFL should pursue the issue.(for details see Section 4.2)

4.1.2 Component Steering Committee

No Component Steering Committee meeting was held during the first half of 2010. The only

Barisal

Procedure for UP Block Grant Allocation:The UPs and their SCFL's in the project area are in the process of increasing their capacity, to beable to handle the Block Grants. The Project is intensifying capacity development support to the UP,but it is expected in some cases that more time is needed to enable the UP to handle the block grantproperly. The project will follow two lines of disbursement, based on the capacity of the UPs. The

project management will, as recommended by the JTRM, start to provide BG-funds to the CBOsthrough the UPs, by the recommendations from the SCFL. This strategy will be used in the UPswhich are considered to have the necessary capacity. The UPs and SCFLs that is not beingconsidered capable of handling the UP Block Grant, the project will follow a different procedure

for the allocation and management in which the BGs are provided bypassing the UPs.

Need of clear harmonization within ASPS II

The Barisal TSU is not giving remuneration, as this would be in contradiction with the bi-lateralagreements. RFLDC have been allowed to pay some allowances by the EoD, but only forexpenditures like food and hotel where there is not enough fund available from GoB. RFLDC are

facing difficulties with the GoB counterpart involvement in the component activities, who areasking for remuneration. Also differences are observed in relations to salary levels of the TA-staff in the ASPS-II components. It is proposed that TA staff salaries and remuneration and allowances

for GoB staff should be discussed in detail, to avoid different levels interpretations and for the sakeof having harmonized and uniform conditions for all components of ASPS II.

Handover of Jalmohals.The component is supposed to work with community based fisheries management in 60 jalmohals.

solve the problem, but unfortunately, there seems no significant changes. We propose that all thevacant posts are to be filled up, and future withdrawal of officers from this area will be minimized.

Contribution of DoF/DLS field staff in implementationThe contribution from DoF/DLS field staff to project implementation is often rather limited, thoughan increase in interest is being noticed. The reasons for this lacking interest, in addition to what arementioned under 3 and 5a, could be that allowances are not provided from Danida to GoB staff, asthere is no provision for this, according to the Government to Government agreements on ASPS II.

Noakhali

Insincerity in Transfer of Government Officers involved in Misuse of Funds

Following the Embassy of Denmark Independent Audit in 2009, a case of misuse of Project(Upazila Operations) funds by an Upazila Livestock Office was found. This led to the Embassy of Denmark requesting the Noakhali TSU to carry out an Internal Audit of all Upazila Offices. TheInternal Audit revealed a systemic problem involving two-thirds of all offices and misuse of a sumof over Tk1.1 million. After a review by the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, the evidence of the Internal Audit was generally accepted. At a meeting in early June, the Ministry undertook to

transfer the officers concerned (and others obstructing the work of the Project) and to launchdisciplinary procedures, but the process in the Department of Livestock Services and in the Ministryitself (for District level officers) has been delayed / obstructed.

It is accepted that the Noakhali Component cannot transfer any further funds for Upazila Operationsor conduct further Farmer Field Schools with the Upazila Offices concerned until the transfers aremade. The CSC is requested to follow-up on why the transfers have not been implemented andensure their prompt implementation.

5. WORK PLAN AND BUDGETS

5.1 Work Plan and Budget for Financial Year 2010-11

General

Towards the end of 2009, it became apparent that, as a result of the world recession, funds availablefrom the Government of Denmark for 2010 would be limited. Eventually, after discussion withother Components, it emerged that the amount allocated by the Embassy of Denmark to RFLDC as

a whole would only be DKK21 million, including funds for the adaptive research programmealready spent. A small amount would be allocated to the Support Units in DOF and DLS, leavingDKK20.6 million for the Technical Support Units. The share of the Noakhali TSU in this amountwas just DKK9.35 mill. (Tk112.2 mill.), and for the Barisal TSU DKK 11.25 mill. (Tk 135 mill.).

Barisal

The first edition of the RDPP for Barisal was submitted to the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock in August 2009, under the former Joint Management. The second and amended edition wasforwarded on March 16, 2010, and the amendments was mainly due to an increase of the GoBbudget. A pre-ECNEC meeting was conducted on 30 May 2010, resulting in a request for furtheramendments. The request for further amendments was a consent letter from ERD, explaining theextra funds from the former Support Units of ASPS II, and more specific budget. A 3 rd amendedRDPP, based on the March RDPP, has been forwarded to the MoFL, and it is expected that afinalization of the procedure could be expected within the month of November 2010.

5.1.2 Budget for 2010

BarisalThe DPA budget for the 2010-11 Financial Year in the ADP is Tk150 mill. The originalbudget for July-December 2010 of Tk 115.9 million has been increased.

Funds available from the donor in 2011 will be higher, with DKK 20 mill.(Tk 253 million)so that the DPA budget under the ADP will probably be exceeded. The DPA budget for2010-11 is set higher than according to the ADP at Tk 257.38 mill.

The total GOB ADP budget for the fiscal year 2010-2011 is Tk. 35 million, with Tk.5.8million under revenue and Tk. 29.2 million under capital head (including 10 millionCDVAT). This total GOB budget provision will cover all the expenses proposed forimplementation of land acquisition, purchase poultry incubator set, furniture, equipments,staff salaries and allowances, purchase of fuel, maintenance and other contingencies.

The current ADP budget Tk. 10 million has included as CDVAT. This fund is not sufficientfor payment of CDVAT for purchases of vehicles under DPA budget. However, it will notbe a problem because there is a provision to increase of CDVAT fund in the RADP budget.

NoakhaliThe DPA budget for the 2010-11 Financial Year in the ADP has been set at Tk160 million.This reflects the situation in relation to donor funding described above. The original budgetfor July-December 2010 of Tk77.6 million reflected the situation and has been increasedonly slightly to reflect the balance from the first part of the year.
