Lesson
The number of projects and subprojects to be implemented under any assistance package must consider the absorptive capacity of local contractors, availability of construction materials, and local labor. Close attention must be given to the quality of the facilities and infrastructures built. Utilizing local contractors and labor have their trade-offs, such as implementation delays and deficiency in financial resources, but the quality of the completed facilities is nonnegotiable. This would require closer supervision, frequent monitoring, and faster processing of payments.

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.
