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).

Project Number: 43253-023
Project Name: Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resources Management Investment Program - Project 1
Report Date:
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.

Establishing a project performance monitoring system (PPMS) allows better tracking of project results and implementation progress and risks. It will also allow a project to undertake necessary adjustments to address implementation issues and data gaps and would be useful during ex-post project evaluation, in terms of a more systematic aggregation and assessment of data and information collected via the system.

Lesson
It is important to include relevant indicators to meaningfully assess the project’s results. At the outcome level, an indicator of transmission capacity in megavolt amperes and actual energy transmitted in megawatt- hours would have been more appropriate. The selection of indicators must consider results that are attributable directly to the project. At the impact level, indicators such as household access to electricity are also relevant to measure the project’s impact on development.

Lesson
The design and monitoring framework (DMF) should be reviewed and updated as necessary during implementation to ensure continued alignment with other aspects of the program. The outcome and output indicators in the program DMF had been developed at appraisal for achievement over a relatively short period of 24 months. However, when program implementation was extended by 23 months to November 2019, an opportunity was missed to update the targeted dates for the indicators, which were measured about 1 year after the extended program completion date.

Project Name: Third Capital Market Development Program

Lesson
Greater effort early on to define targeted outcomes and using a well-structured framework can yield a better tool to assess program results. The results framework presenting clarity in project design, well-defined outcomes, and outputs with appropriate targets and indicators, is imperative in monitoring project achievements. This is necessary to help provide clear assessment and guidance on how to systematically track progress especially on how success will be assessed.

Lesson
Having specific performance indicators dedicated to improving FI’s operational and financial management helps ADB foster its development objectives, while improving FI’s institutional capacity. Specifically, the performance indicators on safeguards compliance help ADB improve FI’s ESMS, thereby, mainstreaming ADB’s environmental and social objectives in infrastructure projects that FIs implemented.

Lesson
Clarity in project design particularly in identifying outcomes and outputs correctly with appropriate targets and indicators are essential in monitoring project achievements and determining how success will be assessed. A well-conceived results framework can effectively assess how economic resources and inputs (e.g., expertise, funds, etc.) are converted to results, for example. This could help facilitate a project’s focus on interventions and specific expected outcomes. Moreover, a program–logic diagram can help in this approach.

Lesson
Setting-up, collection, and reporting of baseline and performance indicators are essential to strengthen a project’s monitoring framework. Well-defined outputs and outcome indicators, targets, and baselines specific to project intervention areas improve project monitoring and results evaluation (e.g., reporting outcome or output indicators outside project areas hinders the attribution of results to the project).

A plausible linkage between outputs and outcome and from outcome to impact needs to be carefully addressed In designing the project results chain.

The assessment of a program’s development effectiveness is difficult in the absence of a structured and aligned outcome indicators.

A good DMF with specific, appropriate, and measurable performance indicators is critical in an MFF program where earlier tranches provide pilots for subsequent reforms.
