Subject: Letter of Exchange as First
Amendment to the Project Agreement between the Government of Switzerland and the
Government of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam on Project "Monitoring
and Evaluation for Management of the Agriculture and Rural Development Sector”(MESMARD-2),
phase 2 (01 March 2010 - 28 February 2015) signed on 29 March 2010
Deaf Minister Cao Duc Phat,
The project “Monitoring and Evaluation
for Management of the Agriculture and Rural Development Sector, phase 2“
(MESMARD-2) initiated in 2010 has so far made significant achievements in improving
the results-based planning process and monitoring and evaluation system for the
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) as confirmed by the
Mid-term Review of the Project in 2012.
We refer to the Letter dated 27
November 2014 and Project Document MESMARD-2 Extended developed and submitted
to the Swiss Cooperation Office for Viet Nam by MARD (as enclosed) asking for
the ten-month cost extension of MESMARD-2 based on the Project Agreement
between the Government of Switzerland and the Government of the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam on the MESMARD-2 signed on 29 March 2010 (hereinafter:
Project Agreement). We are pleased to confirm our approval for the additional
budget of USD 440’122 by the Government of Switzerland for the extended period
from 01 March 2015 to 31 December 2015, which makes the total Swiss contribution
of USD 3’115'357 to MESMARD-2. The cost extension will enable the achievements
of MESMARD-2 to be fully mainstreamed and leave a sustainable impact in the
next five-year plans 2016-2020 as well as to consolidate and sustainably
entrench result-based planning, monitoring and evaluation capacity in MARD and
in the two pilot provines.
