Lesson
Given that the flood protection benefit is largely reflected in higher land and building values, cost recovery for embankment maintenance should be sourced more from property (building and land) taxes rather than from irrigation service charges, which is linked to more usage of irrigation water.

Lesson
A greater level of upfront efforts in project preparation, particularly in the areas of preparing credible traffic forecasts and identifying road alignments, could pay large dividends. Mitigation measures identified in the RRP to address project risks were largely unsuccessful, and the project was subject to long time delays, problems with land acquisition and procurement, shortfalls in demand, and insufficient funding for maintenance.

Lesson
Baseline data collection is a priority. At appraisal and during implementation, greater attention should have been given to the design and monitoring framework, especially in establishing measurable indicators and their baseline values, and target values with a realistic time frame to achieve these goals. Higher priority should have been given to ensure that baseline data were collected prior to project implementation, and updated during project implementation and at completion. The absence of baseline data has made this independent evaluation of the project difficult.

Implementing policy reforms entails a complex and long-term process of change. The legislation and policy measures that were enacted required fundamental changes to the roles of several concerned institutions. These types of reforms can take longer than anticipated, adding uncertainty to the realization of actual outputs and outcomes. The full extent of reforms, especially to institutional arrangements, may extend well beyond the usual administrative life of a project loan.

To minimize large variations in partner agreement nongovernment organization performance (PANGO), it is necessary to (i) evaluate, contract, and mobilize PANGOs within a specific time frame to avoid delays; (ii) critically evaluate budget proposals to ensure they are sufficient to deliver primary health care services; and (iii) set realistic selection criteria for evaluating the experience of PANGOs and their capacity to deliver services.

Early proactive engagement with project stakeholders could have been done for readiness in critical areas. Although the project largely achieved its intended outcome and outputs and had significant impact on the capital market and insurance sector of the country, implementation began much later than scheduled because of delayed recruitment of consultants. _x005F_x000D__x005F_x000D_Training component could be spread over the implementation period.

Lesson
The progress of value addition and supply chain development has been inadequate. The concept of value addition, supply chain management, and improved quality of products needs to be linked to export options, reduction of wastage, high quality standards, compliance with phytosanitary and public health standards, and an increased role of women at different levels of agribusiness development. There remains a need for continued support to women to enable them to diversify and scale up their enterprises, and gain access to upper levels of the value chain.
