The development partner assistance was ambitious. Its timeliness and the volume of ADB's Comprehensive Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic (CPRO) financial assistance were well-received by the government.

Cultural norms regarding women’s roles in the society and community should be more carefully addressed. Community involvement in implementation—especially women’s engagement—could have been further enhanced through (i) continuous engagement with the shoreline communities, (ii) targeted interventions and mobilization of specialized resources in the PMU, and (iii) consultant team guidance. In this program, the documentation of the communities’ engagement activities was weak; a better mechanism employed to report women’s participation in project activities would have been more productive.
