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
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.
