VII. ADB’s Operational Program

In view of the country's limited absorptive capacity and the major effort that will be required to implement SAPHE successfully, the proposed loan program for the next three years is only about US$8 million, for one loan in 2002. The timing of this loan, however, may vary depending on progress achieved under SAPHE. Total amount of proposed technical assistance is $500,000 per year. This program may be slightly expanded as the operational cycle unfolds. The proposed lending program for the period 2001-2003 is summarized in Table 1. A detailed listing of proposed projects in the pipeline is found in Appendix 4, and a breakdown by poverty classification, cross cutting operational priority and sector in Appendix 5.
