Lesson
ADB’s having frequent review missions at the initial stage, active participation in technical discussions, and prompt action on project requests, were critical factors in ensuring that the project remained responsive to recurrent and emerging needs and that implementation was on track with the project timelines.

Project Number: 33036-013
Project Name: Health Sector Reform Project

Lesson
Installation of project management at a very high level with the President’s office as executing agency and the deputy prime minister as project coordinator facilitated the success of the project. With such high level management support, the adoption of key policy recommendations and implementation of essential reform packages had a much better chance of being acted upon more quickly than if it were anchored on a weak ministry that still needed reform and strengthening.

Lesson

Lesson
Improving on-farm agricultural productivity is important for project efficiency and sustainability. Access to irrigation water is not the only constraint on improving crop yields. Higher farm incomes from yield improvements due to productivity gains make it easier to pay water use fees and sustain operation and mainetnance (O&M) of irrigation infrastructure.
