Lesson
A strong design and monitoring framework, with better defined outcomes and outputs and measurable indicators, and the setting up of a project performance and monitoring system during project preparation or at project startup could help track implementation challenges. These may have helped mitigate the risk of scope changes, loan cancellations, and early implementation delays due mainly to delays in startup activities, such as signing of subsidiary loan agreements, detailed engineering design, bidding document preparation, and delays in land acquisition and resettlement.

Project Name: Water Sector Investment Program - Tranche 3

Lesson
The program correctly sought to balance power load between the three regions (outcome) to remove transmission bottleneck that would promote proper siting and least-cost power generation planning, whic is particularly important for transitioning from fuel-based to renewable energy-based power generation. To highlight this importance, the design and monitoring framework needed a target for annual energy flows across regions that is contingent on a sound medium- to long-term energy investment program.

The assessment of benefits from new or renovated irrigation systems cannot be meaningfully compiled without detailed farm budgets (cropping patterns, yields, production costs, farm-gate prices).

Project Name: Building Climate Resilience in the Pyanj River Basin

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
Inadequate data collection can obstruct the documentation of project impact. The project implementation unit focused exclusively on disbursements to the detriment of other metrics in the design and monitoring framework. Government ministries do not collect data regarding TVET graduates, such as whether they are employed, in what capacity they are employed (i.e., whether they are employed in their field of study or not), and how much is their income. Information on historic and forecast budgets for TVET were not provided, nor were data on tuition collected from fee-paying students.

Project Name: Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training

Lesson
The main driver of the project was improving the quality of USE to enhance productivity and employability in Viet Nam’s growing economy. However, the revision of curriculum and instructional material preparation was not within the sphere of the project. Instead, the project assumed that curriculum revision and new instructional material will be introduced within the project time frame, but outside the project scope. ADB should have properly identified such a project risk and adequately reflected it in project risk

Lesson
The DMF missed some essential data that were important in measuring project effectiveness. As this was a follow-up project, both executing agency and ADB should have had up-to-date data and information. To avoid such issues, ADB needs to make a rigorous assessment of the institutional arrangements, and database benchmarks in the case of long-term commitments and preparation of additional follow-on projects.

Lesson
Weak indicators for outcomes and outputs hamper the tracking of project successes. If the project’s indicators had been more specific, measurable, and/or evaluable, problems could have been identified earlier and possibly addressed. This would have likely allowed for mid-course corrections or modifications.

Project Name: Second Upper Secondary Education Development Project
Report Date:
Lesson
Appropriate monitoring of project activities promotes timely project implementation and accuracy of project cost variations. It provides an assessment of the range of factors contributing to or potentially constraining the achievement of project results. A robust DMF, with appropriate performance indicators, helps in strengthening the quality of project outputs and outcome. During the midterm review and project restructuring due to scope changes, further improvements to the DMF permits necessary adjustment to project components while keeping the project on track.
