Given the frequency and severity of natural calamities, the government needs to have in place a fully functioning national disaster management system, including monitoring of hydrological and geological conditions, to identify vulnerable locations with a high probability of possible disasters, so that appropriate mitigation can be planned. This should have been one focus of project identification activities to prioritize projects mitigating or preventing the occurrence of natural disasters.

There were some difficulties in contract administration between the DOC and UNCTAD. Although the contract for the ASYCUDA was signed between DOR and UNCTAD, DOC was the main agency to supervise UNCTAD’s work. DOC felt that it was less effective in the UNCTAD contract implementation because it was not a party to the contract. Contract provisions should have clearly stated the role, responsibilities, and implementation arrangements of DOC.

The practice of international joint venture partners not actively participating in the implementation of the contracts awarded was observed during project implementation. To ensure involvement of all joint venture partners in contract administration, it would be necessary for each partner to issue a guarantee against the collateral for their individual and joint liability. Issuance of individual and joint liability along with a performance bond would ensure liability for the work among all joint venture partners.

Poor countries are rightly skeptical of borrowing only for consulting services because in the absence of the requisite infrastructure they fail to internalize outputs and derive gains from the institutional reforms in full. This affects the extent to which government ownership materializes through the course of implementation. The RRP summarized the lessons identified from prior financial sector reform projects (RRP, page 11, para. 35) on government ownership in terms of the reform agenda.
