Lesson
Providing a degree of flexibility in the scope and output targets during the preparation of emergency assistance projects could help in the attainment of project results. Often, greater emphasis is made to facilitate project formulation and get activities going on the ground as expeditiously as possible, usually within three months from the occurrence of a disaster. Under such circumstances, however, it is difficult to be precise as to what actually needs to be done.

Appropriate scoping of DNA is a critical element in planning a rehabilitation project. This could be enhanced through collaborative engagement of all key stakeholders during the conduct of reconnaissance and rapid assessment. For example, appropriate technical guidance in the preparation and conduct of DNA, taking into account the managerial and operational skills and institutional capacities of the concerned agencies, could promote a more streamlined implementation of project activities.

Utilizing executing and implementing agencies with prior experience of ADB-assisted projects, helps strengthen the support for an emergency assistance project. Their experience with the established procedures could facilitate preparatory activities for an emergency assistance. For instance, competent technical staff from these agencies could be readily mobilized and rapidly deployed during the conduct of disaster project reconnaissance and preparation missions.

There is a need for a better computation of costs at appraisal along with the inclusion of realistic contingencies, especially in areas with high security risks. Accurate cost estimates, particularly at appraisal, help minimize adjustments and revisions during implementation. ADB needs to undertake better duediligence of the project cost estimates at appraisal and a more realistic assessment of existing public procurement regulations. The possible inclusion of add-on security risk costs helps minimize cost overruns and poor project results.

Lesson
A better understanding of the institutional capacity and security risks in fragile and conflict-affected countries is essential to ensure project preparedness. Major changes in scope and implementation delays, including possible cancellations, are expected. Project processing can take more time as a result of unanticipated security concerns in post-conflict situations, frequent changes of government counterparts, and a lack of response from executing agencies. Building capacities and strengthening institutions is essential.
