Lesson
It is important to tailor impact indicators to what the project can realistically achieve in relation to wider development goals. Two project impacts selected at inception—(i) an increase in per capita electricity consumption from 2,000 kWh (2013) to 3,000 (2023), and (ii) an increase in annual electricity supply from 6,300 GWh (2013) to 15,000 (2023) cannot be linked directly to an increase in substation capacity and SCADA expansion. As such, no reliable assessment can be made on the project's accomplishment relative to these indicators.

Lesson
The formulation of performance indicators in the context of regional dimension helps better assessment of the shared economic benefits among participating countries. Consequently, these performance indicators could provide insights into the magnitude and significance of these spill-over effects or shared economic benefits. In particular, these could provide insights into whether these regional economic benefits were well-dispersed or if a specific project entailed an asymmetrical distribution of benefits and costs across the countries.

Lesson
When designing results frameworks, the use of policy actions as results indicators should be minimized. If the indicator measures the reform success by the completion of the policy actions, it provides little information on the success of that policy action and undermines the relevance of the policy action for no result is achieved other than itself.

Lesson
Two of the outcome performance indicators could not be measured directly using available data. This not only affects assessment of final outcome achievements but can also affect implementation. If indicators cannot be tracked accurately, project managers cannot receive regular implementation progress data indicating whether the project is on track or requires modification—or whether the targets themselves need to be revised. Flawed performance indicators need to be addressed as early as possible during implementation.

Better data and information. A better use of more accurate data for planning and budgeting by newly trained personnel at the central, provincial, and district levels could have significantly improved allocative efficiency in the health sector, enabling better targeted policies and activities in operational and development plans.

Lesson
Impact indicators in the results framework need to have casual connection to the program’s outputs and outcomes. The civil service and budgetary reforms supported by the program will contribute to more efficient public administration and budget expenditures over time. However, they can only contribute at the margin to poverty and maternal mortality reduction, which were the impact indicators for the program. These indicators were not aligned with the impact statement, which aimed for improved service delivery.
