Lesson
Developing outcome and output indicators that are consistent with the project design allows appropriate assessment of project achievement against the defined targets. Well-formulated indicators support the accurate measurement of project achievements as defined in the design and monitoring framework. For example, the reduction in transport costs could be directly measured by lower transport fares and vehicle operating costs.

Lesson
The absence of a financial cost-benefit evaluation for the toll revenue-generating motorway is a methodological weakness. The project completion report (PCR) did not explain why it did not conduct a financial cost-benefit evaluation for the toll revenue-generating motorway. This validation notes that the RRP too did not conduct such evaluation.

Project Name: National Motorway M–4 Gojra–Shorkot Section Project and National Motorway M–4 Gojra–Shorkot–Khanewal Section Project - Additional Financing

Lesson
Given the flexibility of the multitranche financing facility, if necessary, regular updating and revisions of project design and monitoring frameworks, including baseline data, are expected; thus, proper documentation of these changes can help improve assessment at completion. In addition, assessment of project impacts critically depends on the collection and analysis of project and other data. The establishment of a project performance management system is crucial in this regard.

Project Name: Highlands Region Road Improvement Investment Program - MFF and Project 3

Lesson
An adequate assessment is needed when setting targets. This project had a few design challenges that could not be addressed during implementation. For the target of serving 3,000 households with new water supply connections and 4,500 with improved ones, financing was not included in the approved project, so could never be achieved. The target of serving 25,000 households with sewer connections was ambitious, as only about 13,680 households would get these connections based on the final engineering designs.

Lesson
The absence of a project performance management system (PPMS) could create difficulties in providing basis for the estimation of a project’s economic benefits. Therefore, a well-functioning PPMS helps provide data for more accurate EIRR estimates and the development impacts of road projects.

Project Number: 41076-044
Project Name: Road Improvement and Institutional Development Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The lack of specificity in the DMF creates difficulties in assessing the development impacts of road projects. For example, a decrease in the road fatality rate in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was a poor indicator for road safety on the project road.

Project Name: National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program (Tranche 2)
Report Date:
Lesson
The absence of a project performance management system (PPMS) created difficulties in estimating the economic benefits of the project. A PPMS would provide data on which to base more accurate EIRR estimates and the development impacts of road projects.

Project Name: National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program (Tranche 2)
Report Date:
Lesson
A project performance management system, established at the project preparation stage and with baseline data collected and maintained throughout implementation to project completion, is necessary to provide the data for the identification and quantification of economic benefits.

Project Name: Transport Connections in Northern Mountainous Provinces Project

Lesson
It is important for road investments to develop a counterfactual scenario for the traffic forecast—a “without-project” scenario—to appropriately identify, quantify, and value economic benefits of the project.

Lesson
Ambitious targets create potential issues and expose the project to higher implementation risks as the executing and implementing agencies must spread their meager resources to more outputs.

For project classified as effective gender mainstreaming, sex-disaggregated data should be included in the GAP and provided with budget allocations to properly quantify gender-related benefits.
