Due diligence is critical to infrastructure quality. The Energy Project followed a different path compared with the other MCC projects. MCC joined other donors in rehabilitating the Mount Coffee Hydropower Plant. MCC bought into a design that was specified by another donor. After construction, it was found that the design was not to MCC standards. The evaluation highlighted that one of the turbines of the power plant is still not functioning as a result of the catastrophic failure. The turbine was not designed at the level expected and was not designed to meet a high industry standard.
