ADB needs to invest in a good PPMS. The evaluation mission’s difficulty in measuring the efficiency of water supply and road subprojects financed under MSDP and MSDP Phase 2 was the result of an inadequate PPMS that focused mainly on monitoring disbursements and outputs. Baseline data were not collected on the market served by water supply subprojects, such as the number of households, persons per household, water sources, amounts of water produced and consumed, and water loss rates.

Lesson
ADB project documents need to be clear on how projects are to lead to sustainable results. The absence of consultants to address issues regarding the legal and technical aspects of O&M planning and funding, measures for cost recovery, tariff collection, and the metering system posed a risk to the sustainability of the water supply and sanitation subprojects. Future projects should include technical assistance that would implemented concurrently with the project.
