Lesson
It is a good practice to provide relevant macroeconomic data to highlight the significance of environmental improvements. In the case of this project, the generation of secondary macroeconomic data, at the very least, could have strengthened the preliminary assessment of the project’s development impact. In discussing impacts of climate mitigation project and the co-benefits of air pollution reduction, it would be worthwhile to link these up with macro data.

Lesson
A well-designed and functioning project performance monitoring system (PPMS) is critical for the monitoring of project performance and collecting data for economic analyses (among other information). Given the data issues persistent in the Pacific e.g., availability and quality of data, careful thought on designing a comprehensive but implementable i.e., “fit for purpose” PPMS is imperative upon project teams. This can enable better data collection, which can facilitate better post-evaluation.

Lesson
The process of obtaining forest and wildlife clearance approvals in India is lengthy and complex and this should be factored into the project implementation timelines both at the design stage and while processing the scope extension. The compliance risk can be mitigated through advanced action by the implementing agency in managing land acquisition, forest clearance, and resettlement issues. The compliance with safeguards requirements should be linked to commissioning as retrofitting after transmission assets become operational poses challenges.

Project Name: Green Energy Corridor and Grid Strengthening Project

Lesson
It is important to include relevant indicators to meaningfully assess the project’s results. At the outcome level, an indicator of transmission capacity in megavolt amperes and actual energy transmitted in megawatt- hours would have been more appropriate. The selection of indicators must consider results that are attributable directly to the project. At the impact level, indicators such as household access to electricity are also relevant to measure the project’s impact on development.

Lesson
Setting-up, collection, and reporting of baseline and performance indicators are essential to strengthen a project’s monitoring framework. Well-defined outputs and outcome indicators, targets, and baselines specific to project intervention areas improve project monitoring and results evaluation (e.g., reporting outcome or output indicators outside project areas hinders the attribution of results to the project).

Lesson
It is essential to adopt an appropriate monitoring framework with relevant indicators to measure project results.

Project Number: 40524-013
Project Name: Shandong Energy Efficiency and Emission Reduction Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The project lacked focus as it included interventions in several key areas; a less ambitious results framework and reasonable implementation schedule would have brought more success.

Project Number: 39419-013
Project Name: Clean Energy and Access Improvement Project

Lesson
Economic internal rate of return and financial internal rate of return calculations need to follow the guidelines of ADB regarding methodology.

Project Number: 39630-023, 39630-033
Project Name: National Power Grid Development Investment Program (Tranches 1 and 2)

Lesson
Adequate details of the economic and financial analysis given at appraisal facilitate (i) a holistic comparison with the analysis at completion, and (ii) a well-informed interpretation of the differences and underlying reasons.

Lesson
It is difficult to establish accurate cost estimates due to the long MFF implementation timelines and the value of flexibility that is inherent in the MFF modality.

Lesson
Utilities need to understand the impact of loss reduction on their finances, to take appropriate investment decisions, particularly when differentiating between technical and commercial losses.

Lesson
Considering the large economic and financial benefits of loss-reduction projects in distribution grids, it is necessary to carry out a more thorough assessment than what is usually provided in completion reports.

Lesson
A methodology should be developed and incorporated in ADB documents, when measuring economic impacts of multi-project programs.

Lesson
The practice of using a weighted average EIRR, which is inaccurate as economic benefits are not directly proportional to investment volumes and to the other metrics used for weighting due to the interrelated benefits among projects, should be discontinued in ex-ante and ex-post evaluations of programs supported by MFF.

Lesson
The DMF for the Infrastructure Project Development Facility (IPDF) was not adequate to assess IPDF’s performance as an institution, with targets that were limited to the number of PPP projects. It should have included measures on the level of private sector investment in infrastructure in general, and specifically on PPP projects, together with some regional comparisons.
