Lesson
Projects designed as emergency assistance loan (EAL) require stronger project performance monitoring system (PPMS) to closely monitor progress and achievements. Since EAL is usually designed fast, there is greater chance that project scope, design, and targets are fluid and call for a very robust monitoring system to ensure that baselines and targets are developed and monitored during implementation and at completion. These include a strong support to measure project benefits that are crucial for EIRR calculations.
