Lesson
The main lesson is that better planning of consultancy needs can help in more timely recruitment of international and national consultants. In this case, delays in start-up of TASF activities, and non-extension of the Future Cities Program to which TA project was linked, impacted project disbursement. Consultancy overcommitments subsequently required reallocation of cost categories under the TA project.

A systematic and careful problem diagnosis at the project level strengthens the choice of appropriate operational option (i.e., an investment or a policy, or a combination of both) in meeting the development constraint. During a midterm review when project restructuring is required due to changes in scope, this permits necessary adjustments to project components while helping to ensure that a project remains relevant and its expected outcomes achievable.

Lesson
The review process and systematic monitoring of wetlands restoration project are imperative to deepen the benefits from environmental conservation and sustainable livelihood. A well developed monitoring and evaluation mechanism that would appropriately track the project status permits the timely implementation of project operation. Since project performance rating is one of the outputs of the monitoring and evaluation system, it periodically informs management on any potential risk in portfolio performance.

Lesson
Soliciting support and involving local stakeholders during project preparation ensures their greater ownership. It offers an opportunity to understand the local socioeconomic and ecological conditions surrounding the livelihoods and needs of the people. This creates effective solutions for biodiversity conservation and wetlands protection. Thus, the inclusion of natural resource users (e.g., farmers) is an essential step to ensuring that local knowledge is integrated into project planning and designing.
