Sector Assistance Program Evaluation on Education in Uzbekistan

 
6. 
Overall Bottom–Up Assessment 
96. 
Ratings of the individual projects were pooled to obtain an overall bottom–up rating for 
education projects in Uzbekistan (Appendix 7, Table A7.4). The resulting data is summarized in 
Appendix 7, Tables A7.2 and A7.3. Examining the completed projects, it is noted that BETDP, 
ADB’s first project, has been the top scorer with an overall assessment rating of 21, out of a 
possible score of 24. It is followed by STDP (20) and the investment loan of ESDP
49
(16). The 
SSEP loan is at the bottom (12). ADB’s overall performance has been good except for SSEP. 
The combined overall rating of all these projects is 16.8, which denotes successful.  
97. 
An attempt has been made to assess the likely outcome of the two ongoing loans 
(ICTBEP and RBEP) in the same manner. The likely overall assessment in their case improves 
marginally to 19.
98. 
As for the TAs, the ratings range from 10 on the low side (TA for Effective Management 
of Investments and Reforms in Basic Education) to 18 on the high (TA for Capacity Building in 
Education Finance). The overall rating of all advisory TAs combined is 13.8, which is partly 
successful 
(Appendix 7, Table A7.4).

The project has been physically completed but the PCR has still to be done. In this sense, this assessment is 
tentative as details about the outcomes are not known fully.
