Continuous community consultation, benefit sharing, and interagency coordination are vital to create social acceptance for SLS construction. The Nepalgunj SLS construction was successful due to continuous community engagement, cooperation among political leaders, and early implementation of a community development program targeted to community living near the SLS. The SLSs in Janakpur and Siddharthanagar had to be dropped, however, as nearby communities did not allow their construction.

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.

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.

Establishing a system for project performance and benefit monitoring, and ensuring its operation after post-project completion helps facilitate the systematic tracking of project results. Weak monitoring and reporting of implementation issues and the insufficient collection and analyses of project benefits and socioeconomic data would hamper project evaluation and lead to noncompliance with loan covenants. The project planned for a PPMS, and DMF indicators were to be collected at baseline and monitored annually. But in this project, the PPMS submitted only one annual report.

Establishing the critical requirements for project readiness creates an enabling environment in facilitating the implementation of project activities. Without these requisites, project risks (e.g., institutional factors, procurement risk and delays, among other things) can be greater which could lead to cost and time overruns. A well-defined implementation arrangement at the onset between executing and contracting agencies would convey clear guidance on the respective functions and scope of operations required during various stages of implementation.
