Dhaka Water Supply Sector

Improved readiness assessment is essential to avoiding implementation issues arising from inexperienced project technical and administrative staff and project managers. Under the project, the lack of experienced staff required capacity building during implementation that divided staff’s focus and resulted in problems in document processing until the project staff were able to fully understand work procedures and requirements. Mobilizing part-time staff or staff on secondment from other agencies without the requisite project implementation experience or tenure throughout implementation does not encourage full commitment to the project.
