Lesson
Sound identification and valuation of costs and benefits in the economic analysis can provide more realistic economic internal rates of return (EIRRs) to indicate a more accurate state of project viability. The economic analysis in the RRP and PCR underestimated the value of the project outputs, particularly the economic benefits of the solid waste management component, which led to a low EIRR. Willingness-to-pay $2 per month for solid waste removal seems too low and unreasonable considering the substantial health and environmental benefits that such removal likely provides.

Lesson
A more nuanced iteration of the project design and monitoring framework (DMF) i.e., accurately differentiating outcome and output indicators, would be beneficial to facilitate better project results assessments. As observed by this validation, impact, outcome, and output statements in the DMF were vague and similar, and did not provide sufficient guidance to focus performance targets that would have provided better evidence for achieving the goals of the impact, outcome, and output statements.

Lesson
Investments with innovative design elements should include monitoring systems that can capture how these innovations have performed for wider dissemination and upscaling. Tackling nonpoint source (NPS) pollution through wetland construction and eco-compensation represents real innovation; however, the project completion report could have better outlined how these approaches worked in practice.

Lesson
Project benefit identification, quantification, and valuation depend on the establishment and effective use of PPMS. The project was not successful in training FMG staff in the use of PPMS and, therefore, the project benefits in the EIRR calculation in the PCR were put into question.

Lesson
Regular monitoring and reporting, including functional project performance monitoring system, can help in quickly adjusting to changes in project scopes, and in assessing achievements at completion.

Project Number: 44020-013
Project Name: Gansu Urban Infrastructure Development
and Wetland Protection Project
Report Date:
Lesson
the project results chain was sound although there could have been more explicit connection between the output performance indicators and the outcome economic development performance indicators. The DMF could have included a wider range of potential impacts, especially benefits—particularly if dissemination and adoption elsewhere is a project intention.
