ADB has helped improve infrastructure and promote reforms in a comprehensive manner. This was seen as a key positive feature of the project. Informants thought that by combining better planning and infrastructure and higher quality human resources, access to health services and their quality had improved.

Lesson
Proper problem analysis is needed based on risk and mitigation analysis before rolling out a program under decentralization. Problem analysis was undertaken to some degree during project preparations. Risks were outlined in the project framework (under Assumptions and Risks) but little detail was given in the main text of the report and recommendation of the President, or in the project design.

Lesson
A comprehensive approach is needed for a well-functioning health system. Well-functioning provincial and district systems have proven to contribute to overall coordination and control of local health service delivery. During evaluation, health facility staff frequently cited the development of human resource capacity through longer-term fellowships as a key benefit of the project. Many of the project-supported fellows are now in key positions within the district and provincial health services. Many fellows thought that their careers would not have progressed so well without the project.

Greater synergy is required between family planning and health-care services. Inclusion of family planning advocacy in future programs could help reduce maternal mortality, as high fertility and maternal mortality are correlated. During key informant interviews, many expressed an opinion that more support for family planning is needed. It will require a coordinated and balanced joint approach from MOH and BKKBN, supported by appropriate resources.

Lesson
A project performance monitoring system (PPMS) was not required, since an existing system was already in place at Directorate General of Highways. However, ADB did require the conduct of surveys and collection of data for specific performance indicators identified at appraisal, which should have been finalized during the early stage of project implementation.

Lesson
The procurement process for consultancy services and civil works was too long in spite of approval by ADB to advance corresponding action. ADB and the executing agency should have agreed on the length of the procurement process, which was already set in the ADB procurement guidelines. The delay in core team consultant procurement led to national consultants being tapped to proceed with the project and avoid delays.

More in-depth involvement by the borrower, executing agency, and implementing agencies in the preparation of the project design is important. The cancellation during the implementation of two subcomponents, which were essential to project sustainability, seemed too late since resources have already been committed. Agreeing to the changes should have triggered the revision of the design and monitoring framework.

The project’s main objective is to improve the quality, relevance, and equitable access to basic education in Uzbekistan by using ICT. However, the RRP and the PCR had limited discussions on this main objective, presumably because the project was being implemented alongside other projects in the education sector. Notwithstanding, achieving an enhanced access and higher quality of basic education was an essential accomplishment of the project that should have been highlighted.
