Lesson
The formulation of a coherent results framework that logically links the inputs, activities, and outputs with the envisaged outcome facilitates better monitoring and measurement of project results. The quality of a design and monitoring framework is enhanced by outcome targets that are realistic and appropriately reflect the immediate changes of the outputs.

Lesson
The assessment of benefits from new or renovated irrigation systems cannot be meaningfully compiled without detailed farm budgets (cropping patterns, yields, production costs, farm-gate prices).

Project Number: 45354-002
Project Name: Building Climate Resilience in the Pyanj River Basin

Lesson
An effective benefit and monitoring evaluation system incentivizes a better-informed implementation progress and risks management. It permits appropriate tracking of project performance and indicators, and coordination and accountability of project activities among agencies. An appropriate monitoring and results framework is crucial in the achievement of its intended results.

Project Name: Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resources Management Investment Program - Project 1

Lesson
Targets need to be specific and evidence-based and indicators well-defined and measurable to enable a reliable assessment of implementation progress and project accomplishments and performance at completion. This project suffered from weaknesses in indicators and the results chain. Examples were inadequate links between intended outputs and outcome, lack of specific targets (output 1 and outcome), and poorly defined target (output 3). One impact target was misplaced (project staffing) and another was deemed unachievable (number of WUCSs confirming receipt of water services).

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.

Lesson
Changes in scope and subsequent revision of the DMF with board approval are critical in ensuring that the project’s intended outcome can be achieved. Adjusting the DMF and its indicators should be made as soon as the need becomes apparent, ideally during the early stage of implementation or at the mid-term review. In particular, a mid-term review provides an opportune time to conduct an in-depth assessment of whether a project is likely to achieve its outcome and outputs, and whether the output and outcome targets remain pertinent for the project context and development objective.

Project Name: Guiyang Integrated Water Resources Management (Sector) Project

Lesson
A strong and clear DMF is crucial for tracking project results. It is only possible to measure progress if the DMF has strong and clear performance indicators and targets which include definitions and baselines. During the design stage, these components need to be clearly defined to strengthen project readiness. At completion, the clear indicators and targets will provide an appropriate measurement of results that can reflect the actual achievements at completion.

Lesson
Monitoring the project’s impact on farmer’s livelihoods, particularly agricultural income, is useful to understand their intention to adopt GAP, new crop varieties, or certification of their production, and to determine the possibilities to scale-up the intervention.
