Lesson
The approach to risk assessment and risk management should be consistent across programs. Risk assessments should include the individual risk and its risk level before mitigation, the mitigation strategies and resultant risk to each risk and to the overall risk after mitigation. The PCR template should also allow for discussion on risk to explicitly consider whether the risk mitigation strategies had been successful.

Project Name: Governance in Justice Sector Reform Program

Lesson
Recommendations need to be clear on what should be done, by which agency and if possible in what time frame, and should show whether the program managers agree or disagree. This allows for any follow-up to be well-targeted on where improvements should have been made. It also allows the public to determine the quality of the recommendation when the report is published on the ADB website. (iii) Where it is available, the use of country information such as audit reports (both internal audit and external audit) can provide an alternative perspective on the success of the program.

Lesson
Private health providers can play an important role when developing a network of quality health services in rural and other underserved areas. The needs of private sector entities and small-scale health providers, however, are different. Easy access to credit by small-scale providers, in itself, is insufficient. Needs and constraints also should be addressed. This covers (i) technical support—referral networks, continuous training, and colleagues’ advice; and (ii) family support—access to schools for children, work opportunities for the spouse, safety, and other needs and constraints.

Lesson
The project was complex and involved many stakeholders (DBP, DOH and PHIC, LGUs, private sector venture, small-scale private providers, and local beneficiaries). A careful stakeholder analysis involving consultations with all participants to identify needs, constraints, and potential benefits could have improved the project design, its assumptions, and risk mitigation strategies.

Project ownership is important. With DBP, a financial institution as executing agency, DOH did not have primary responsibility for this health project. Inter-sector collaboration can bring significant benefits but is not easy: it requires significant efforts and a clear governance structure with specific reporting and coordination mechanisms. Leadership is essential and needs to be carefully established to ensure effectiveness and efficiency. The HSIAC should have been more actively involved and better coordinated the project.

Lesson
Risk management framework is vital in mitigating the high-risk aspects of the project. These could be avoided by specifically monitoring those risks that remain high. This need to be articulated in the RRP so that the borrower reports back on these high-risk areas, and to satisfy the ADB concern that appropriate monitoring is occurring.
