Lesson
Providing a degree of flexibility in the scope and output targets during the preparation of emergency assistance projects could help in the attainment of project results. Often, greater emphasis is made to facilitate project formulation and get activities going on the ground as expeditiously as possible, usually within three months from the occurrence of a disaster. Under such circumstances, however, it is difficult to be precise as to what actually needs to be done.

Lesson
Appropriate scoping of DNA is a critical element in planning a rehabilitation project. This could be enhanced through collaborative engagement of all key stakeholders during the conduct of reconnaissance and rapid assessment. For example, appropriate technical guidance in the preparation and conduct of DNA, taking into account the managerial and operational skills and institutional capacities of the concerned agencies, could promote a more streamlined implementation of project activities.

Utilizing executing and implementing agencies with prior experience of ADB-assisted projects, helps strengthen the support for an emergency assistance project. Their experience with the established procedures could facilitate preparatory activities for an emergency assistance. For instance, competent technical staff from these agencies could be readily mobilized and rapidly deployed during the conduct of disaster project reconnaissance and preparation missions.

Lesson
Project management and monitoring during implementation, especially during the initial stages, is also important. This is because at these stages, more data and information on conditions become available and enable changes to be made to the design to mitigate unforeseen factors that may risk the outcome.

Project Number: 36673-013
Project Name: Emergency Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The primary lesson is that emergency support requires additional focus on planning and thorough preparation despite the usual time constraints. Given that conditions in such a situation are often uncertain and unreliable, project design needs to be robust to be able to deliver critical relief to the affected population.
