• 3 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the projects are identified through what we call district steering committees at the district level together with the communities.

We have a monitoring and evaluation team at the project headquarters which goes to supervise the programmes. view
