Lesson
Careful selection and timely update of DMF indicators are crucial, along with a better understanding of the clients and their likely needs. The TA was designed to improve the institutional framework of water supply services through improving business practices of selected WSCs. The critical challenge was that the TA aimed to support the sector reform process in the middle of its transition. Considering the uncertainties of the reform, the TA outcome of supporting the country’s water sector through directly improving WSCs’ business practices was a logical and reasonable approach.

The DOE’s TA proposal for strengthening monitoring and enforcement in the Meghna River was consistent with Country Partnership Strategy 2011–2015 for urban sector program on expanding access to clean water supply in Dhaka.

Lesson
Although the rights and obligations of the building owners and residents are governed by the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, the Civil Code and other legal acts, the management of commonly shared property in multi-apartment buildings in Yerevan is not effective, since there is a mismatch between the ownership title of the assets and the owner’s perception regarding the maintenance obligations. Nevertheless, the local government is still willing to improve the commonly owned private property through public borrowing.
