Lesson
For a sector such as ICT, with limited skills, expertise, and private sector involvement especially in a small country, project financing provides an opportunity for development banks, such as ADB, to leverage its development objectives. These include promoting private sector participation, improving public service delivery, and strengthening institutions. Infrastructure projects are only a means to achieve development outcomes and impacts. This is a principle that most infrastructure project designs could be based on.

Close coordination with other development banks, such as the World Bank, the government’s clear infrastructure priorities and plan, and its good relationship with a neighboring country is crucial to ensure project readiness, availability of funds, and timely implementation of the project.

Project Name: Lower Secondary Education for the Most Disadvantaged Regions Project
Report Date:
Lesson
Participatory approach to project design and implementation. Extensive consultation with and participation by key stakeholders from project formulation through implementation resulted in higher ownership of the project among stakeholders. It also led to realistic and implementable project design, and allowed for an effective response to challenges encountered by the LSE subsector. It also promoted good coordination and communication, which was necessary for a timely resolution of issues.

Lesson
The design monitoring framework would have better tracked improvements in the quality of LSE in the target regions if it had measured the impact of the inputs, rather than only the inputs. For example, instead of counting the number of ethnic minority upper secondary education (USE) graduates who received a scholarship, the indicator could have measured the number who received scholarships and who returned to their own communities to work, which was the project's original intention.

Lesson
Relevant project design. The project's target identification methodology was relevant and sophisticated. Prior to this project, ADB support to disadvantaged provinces covered all parts of 22 provinces (determined by the government), which was nearly a third of the country. In contrast, the targeted support of the project resulted in focused investment on the poorest groups.
