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.

Project Number: 42094-032
Project Name: Energy Sector Development Investment Program—Tranche 2
Report Date:
Lesson
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
Project management and monitoring during implementation, especially during the initial stages, is also important. This is because at these stages, more data and information on conditions become available and enable changes to be made to the design to mitigate unforeseen factors that may risk the outcome.

Project Number: 36673-013
Project Name: Emergency Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The primary lesson is that emergency support requires additional focus on planning and thorough preparation despite the usual time constraints. Given that conditions in such a situation are often uncertain and unreliable, project design needs to be robust to be able to deliver critical relief to the affected population.
