Philippine Energy Efficiency Project

Projects implemented in a period when a change in government is foreseeable will undergo reevaluation and review by the new administration. If the core PMU (project management unit) team has a strong foundation and capacity to implement the project, and is seen to be politically impartial, the risk of changes to leadership and possibly even decisions can be mitigated. To have an efficient PMU, project monitoring needs to be programmed and reviewed regularly during implementation to ensure that the executing agency has sufficient staff and counterpart budget.
