Lesson
The DMF indicators and results chain, to effectively serve as a monitoring and evaluation tool, need to reflect the changes in TA scope and focus during implementation. Output performance indicators and targets were changed to align with the government’s requests for support to emerging priorities. The outcome statement and targets should also have been updated to reflect the changed focus of the TA which has evolved and become broader.

Lesson
The design and monitoring framework (DMF) and monitoring and reporting mechanism need to be carefully developed at the planning stage. The outcome statement of the TA was not appropriate as it is too narrow and should be more focused on the TA benefits to Maldives. Outcome targets were too ambitious since there were several contributing factors outside the scope of the TA that affected their achievements. With a small country portfolio, unexpected delays in one or two projects will make the target unachievable. Having an outcome indicator at the broader level could help avoid that.

Lesson
For a sector such as ICT, with limited skills, expertise, and private sector involvement especially in a small country, project financing provides an opportunity for development banks, such as ADB, to leverage its development objectives. These include promoting private sector participation, improving public service delivery, and strengthening institutions. Infrastructure projects are only a means to achieve development outcomes and impacts. This is a principle that most infrastructure project designs could be based on.
