Information was obtained through (i) the 'Progress of development projects and programmes as at 31st March 2018' Report published online by the Department of Project Management and Monitoring; and (ii) the Action Plans, Financial Plan and Progress Report received from the responsible agency in response to a request under the RTI Act. However, information in response to the request was obtained after filing an appeal and required significant effort to assess, since the Action Plan and Progress Report did not employ a consistent reporting framework and could not be easily reconciled.
Some activities under the promise have been initiated. However, progress for the first six months falls short of target.
