Implementation completion and results report

I. Disbursement Profile

• 
  The overall rating for project relevance is Substantial. In particular: (i) the project objectives were substantial and remain relevant to the Bank and Borrower at the time of the ICR; (ii) relevance of design was modest given the overly ambitious nature of the PDO and poor links to results indicators; and (iii) relevance of implementation was substantial due to adaptive changes to activities that occurred.
  

• 
  The overall project efficacy rating is Substantial. Both of the PDO indicators were met and three out of five intermediate indicators were fully met. The project only suffered moderate shortcomings with respect to the first objective (credibility), which were largely offset by the strong performance of the second objective (internal control).
  

• 
  The project efficiency rating is Modest. While no data currently exists to measure the project’s benefits in economic or financial terms, in years to come the new customs administration software is likely to improve inspection and oversight, resulting in greater collections of customs revenues and less leakages.
