Report Date:
Lesson
A thorough funds disbursement analysis should have been conducted during project implementation to determinesufficiency or insufficiency of funds from all sources to finance all project components. While the actual cost for theproject civil works sections increased by 50%, the project still ended with unutilized loan proceeds of $9.65 million (Loan 2205) and $1.40 million (Loan 2206 [Special Funds]). These were more than sufficient to continue implementing the local roads component estimated to cost $3.8 million, of which $3.0 million was to be funded from the loan.

This relates to the baseline data that was missing in the project. The lack of basic data as the benchmark for evaluation has caused difficulties in assessing the project’s achievements; hence, the evaluation was mainly based on qualitative data.

Project Name: Rural Basic Education Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The project’s main objective is to improve the quality, relevance, and equitable access to basic education in Uzbekistan by using ICT. However, the RRP and the PCR had limited discussions on this main objective, presumably because the project was being implemented alongside other projects in the education sector. Notwithstanding, achieving an enhanced access and higher quality of basic education was an essential accomplishment of the project that should have been highlighted.

Lesson
The project design should have focused primarily on components 1 and 2, and only those parts of components 3 and 4 that were doable, by taking into account the capacity of the executing agency in implementing these components. A more accurate assessment of its capacity should have been conducted at project preparation stage.

Project Name: Western Uzbekistan Rural Water Supply Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The project experienced start-up delays, because the contractor mobilized slowly and was unable to tie up with suitable local subcontractors. The contractor was also unfamiliar with conditions in the country at the start, which caused implementation delays. The subcontractors contributed significantly, and without them it would have been difficult for the contractor to successfully complete the project.

Project Name: Road Network Development Program (Project 2)
Report Date:
Lesson
The project constructed a two-lane road. Subsequent to the start of the project, the government decided to widen the road to four lanes by constructing another two-lane road alongside the project road. The widening works are scheduled for completion by December 2013. The ADB-financed two-lane road was completed in December 2012.

Realistic estimation of project and contract duration is important. Inclement weather seriously hampered physical progress in project implementation, especially from August 2011 to February 2012. The contractor had difficulty coping with it, which significantly delayed the completion of works. A more realistic timeframe for implementing a road project should be formulated allowing for unpredictable local weather conditions and other contingencies so that resources can be deployed effectively and efficiently.

More robust due diligence is needed during project design and formulation to enable the closest possible cost estimates and to set aside enough resources to cover contingencies. This can save considerable time. The scope of the ADB-financed East-West Highway Improvement Project, approved in 2005, included two sections of the east-west highway
