Lesson
Lack of capacity and experience in executing/implementing agencies as well as lack of reference projects can negatively impact project implementation. This project encountered delays because the executing agency and project management unit (PMU) lacked capacity and prior experience with international financial institution–financed procurement and management of large projects. Moreover, there were no reference projects with similar legal and regional setups to provide lessons and guidance to the executing agency and PMU.

Lesson
Deficiencies in structure and lack of authority can hamper the work of the PMU and create implementation difficulties. Although the PMU was established to coordinate the work of various departments of the executing agency, the PMU structure could have been more effective. The PMU’s role was limited to liaising with ADB and coordinating the inputs of the executing agency’s planning, design, procurement, and construction departments.

Lesson
Although it did not negatively impact the program, submission of the monthly and quarterly progress reports was irregular throughout the MFF implementation. This cannot go unattended under the second MFF, as without timely reporting, program management will not be in a good position to address the implementation challenges, especially those unforeseen at MFF and individual tranche approval. The program management unit should establish a mechanism to regularly monitor physical and financial progress per contract.
