Ensuring sufficient capacity of executing and implementing agencies facilitates a smooth procurement process. Developing back-up subprojects is also beneficial especially for implementation under the MFF in anticipation of cancellation of some subprojects.

In-depth financial planning and cost projections, coupled with risk mitigation measures (e.g., developing back-up subprojects in an advanced state of readiness) allows for better utilization of loan savings.
