Dushanbe-Kyrgyz Border Road Rehabilitation Project (Phase 1)

The project was the second ADB-financed road project in Tajikistan. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC) and project implementation unit (PIU) need to be familiarized with ADB's policies and procedures. However, the familiarization effort was inadequate. ADB should continue to train MOTC on its policies and procedures and PIU staff for existing and future projects. In addition, frequent changes in ADB project officers caused discontinuity in project administration. The transfer of project administration from ADB headquarters to the Tajikistan Resident Mission occurred almost at the end of the project (2008), and this made it difficult for the resident mission to take over. Transfer of the project at a late stage of implementation should be carefully considered. Frequent replacement of ADB project officers should be avoided.
