“The thing that we need to continue to attach importance to is that the relevant sectors have to play a greater role in implementing programmes and projects funded by development partners to ensure they are completed as planned and in a prompt manner, make sure coordination is done in a prompt and comprehensive manner, facilitate their management and make sure their implementation is in line with plans and effective,” Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Kikeo Chanthaboury told the review meeting.
He asked the relevant authorities to attach importance to ensuring experts working for each programme and project transfer knowhow and skills to local staff with respect to their implementation to ensure their sustainability.
The minister also noted that the ODAs provided by development partners met the current needs and in line with the objective of the socio-economic development of the government.
