Need to understand the limitation of project modalities. The complexity of the PDP’s design was a weakness. As a general principle, projects should aim for simple, straightforward outputs and outcomes and involve uncomplicated implementation arrangements and a small number of implementing agencies if they hope to be successful. Projects must be designed in a way that makes it feasible for national staff (generally government officers) who often have limited resources and capabilities to manage and implement them. They must also be workable within the established national practices and procedures. The PDP confirmed that preparing a project that has dozens of diverse activities to be implemented by a variety of agencies and seeks to set up new agencies with little stakeholder support, can lead to limited project success.
