| Project Detail |
The objective of the University of Guyana (UG) Science and Technology Support Project for Guyana is to strengthen the four science and technology faculties at UG through infrastructure, research and curricular improvements while building the basis for improved facilities management and future growth. The main changes to the project and rationale are: 1) revisions to the results matrix to complete data that was not available at Appraisal, to align it with more realistic targets, and to better reflect project activities. Specifically, the changes are: (i) introduction of baseline and targets for two PDO-level indicators; (ii) revision of targets for one PDO-level indicator; (iii) update targets for six intermediate results indicators; (iv) substitution of one intermediate results indicator with a new one that better reflects Project activities; and (v) deletion of two intermediate indicators; 2) revisions to the disbursement estimates to reflect the delays in Project effectiveness; and 3) removal of section five from the Financing Agreement to remove redundancy and increase clarity regarding the use of funds. |
