Chapter 8: Findings, Lessons, and Recommendations

  • Results measurement, monitoring, and evaluation all need to be improved.

  • The transport sector is now handling nearly twice the volume of commitments with fewer staff than it did in fiscal 2000.

  • Staff resources need to be redeployed and strengthened.

  • There appears to have been a partial avoidance of projects that require longer and more costly preparation.
