Lesson
Policy dialogue with the government is crucial for improving capacity in the areas of road asset management, road safety, and traffic monitoring. (i) If the road asset management tools developed under the project were used as envisaged, this would improve the performance of the road sector in the long term. (ii) It is essential that investment in road safety is based on knowledge of road safety conditions, which need to be measured so remedial actions can be proposed and assessed.

Lesson
The lack of a definite schedule for disbursement required ADB to maintain close coordination with the government. This ensured timely disbursement when required. The government did not draw down the proceeds of the loan until after the award of a substantial number of contracts for rehabilitation of schools, although it had earlier withdrawn the DPL to meet financing requirements for the HFH scheme.

Project Name: Emergency Assistance for Recovery from Tropical Cyclone Winston

Lesson
Early processing of the EAL by ADB and close alignment with the DPL of the World Bank gave the Government of Fiji the necessary confidence to proceed with support to the poor and vulnerable families and homeowners, and to commence a relatively large-scale rehabilitation program for public buildings, including schools. The implementation of an emergency assistance loan is similar to that of a policy-based loan, except that processing is expedited to support the financing of early recovery efforts following a disaster.

Lesson
An ambitious target for rehabilitation of 60% of significantly damaged schools by July 2018 was set under the program. The Ministry of Education did not have the capacity to implement construction projects on such a large scale. This necessitated the establishment of a construction implementation unit within the executing agency, the MOE, for management of construction contracts.
