Financial management staff’s inclusion in review missions will be key to ensuring improved financial performance of future projects. Neither the ADB project team nor PCO could decipher financial management requirements and covenant quantifications due to the absence of financial management staff in review missions. The team failed to follow up on audit opinions and recurrent issues, leading to recurrence of the same issues and delays in submitting the APFS. This improved only after inclusion of a financial management staff toward the end of the project.

In future, project design consultant’s scope of work should include assessment of background and technical information for underground existing utilities. The project had initial design delays and design modifications during implementation mainly due to unavailability of existing utilities’ underground information such as by plan profile and as-built drawing. Final DSC designs were not always comprehensive. This required variations for most contracts, resulting in both start-up delays and contract modifications.
