Lesson
The PPMS should be developed and established prior to the start of project implementation. This would ensure that all implementation activities are effectively monitored and causes of delays and mitigating actions described clearly. Benefit monitoring and evaluation is essential to measuring project impact and outcome indicators so as to measure achievement. This should not be left to the executing or implementing agency and should be undertaken by qualified monitoring and evaluation specialists, including the collection of primary and secondary data.

Lesson
ADB resident mission should be more proactive in monitoring project implementation. It is contingent on the resident mission to assist the executing agency in identifying corrective measures and even use its technical resources to assist in resolving issues. The delay due to unresolved resettlement issues took too long to solve resulting in increased project cost. With local knowledge and experience, the resident mission would be in a good position to identify options in resolving such issues.

Lesson
The project encountered considerable delays and significant cost escalations in the design and tendering of the remote water transport infrastructure restoration component as a consequence of the switch from restoring existing structures to building new structures and introducing equitable distribution of project structures among maritime provinces. Future projects should examine the relevance, design, and cost implications and determine the project scope and design resource needs, avoiding the need for scope changes.

Lesson
While the issue of delays to project mobilization were recognized in the lessons learned at appraisal, the project failed to ensure such delays did not occur. Future projects need to plan for timely advance procurement of consultants and ensure advance commitment to institutional and financing arrangements prior to loan approval. Where trust funds are part of project design, institutional and operating rules need to be agreed and trust deeds formulated and agreed, if not formally signed prior to loan approval. Advance appointment of fund managers should be considered.
