Background
Projects are the set of activities to be completed within time, cost and quality specification. Completing projects successfully require good planning and continuous monitoring during implementation. Planning and monitoring are the basic skills required for personnel working in project for proper implementation. If projects are properly implemented, they will deliver expected results and help to achieve the goals of development plans.

That is why, the Nepal Country Partnership Strategy has emphasized the need for improvement of portfolio performance of projects funded by Asian Development Bank. There is an urgent need of developing capacity in key agencies and to meet an immediate requirement for better investment planning and project preparation, implementation, and monitoring.
