Criterion 3 – Priority
The Government of Bangladesh has divided the
projects into two classes based upon this criterion:
Core projects
Non-core projects
Number of core projects in 1987/88 was 172 out of
850 projects. The investment size of these projects is
about 65 %. Core projects have a higher priority in the
allocation of Taka resources. These are marked with *
in the ADP.

A. Project Level
The project managements with varying degree
of penetration and accuracy carry out the
monitoring and evaluation of the projects. The
projects use CPM, bar charts, periodical budget
follow-ups with different degree of success.
Generally it seems that large contractors
perform this task in their own interest. In some
projects the consultants perform this task.
