Lesson
Preparation of sound project feasibility studies is required. With the support of the government and ADB, future conservation programs and projects will need to develop improved implementation systems and provide more practical support for beneficiaries. As mentioned, fishers’ behavioural practices need to be taken into consideration in project design and support for group livelihood activities. Furthermore, technical support for livelihood activities is usually required for a minimum of 2 years.

Project Number: 32176-013
Project Name: Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Project Phase II

Lesson
Project assets should have been handed over to fishing communities in project districts. Another impact of discontinuity under the project was poor asset management of social infrastructure. The MMAF did not hand over the constructed assets to the district or village at project completion. It is necessary that all infrastructure built under a project is handed over formally to appropriate institutions before the project ends.

Project Name: Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Project Phase II

Lesson
Continuity of human resources should be ensured. During COREMAP II implementation, NGOs were engaged for 16 months and facilitated to set up community groups in villages, e.g., MCS groups, coral reef management bodies, and women’s groups. Several months after the NGOs left, district governments (Bintan, Natuna) assigned extension workers, but the NGOs’ engagement period was too short to ensure that the community groups were adequately operational and functional. In most villages, NGO staff were not absorbed into extension worker positions.

Project Name: Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Project Phase II

Lesson
Coastal communities relying on coral reefs need comprehensive ecosystem management. Conservation and management are both focused on improving coastal livelihoods. Comprehensive ecosystem management is essential for communities’ ongoing engagement in conservation activities. Given the importance of mangroves, more stress should be placed on mangrove conservation nationwide. Strong legislation should be developed to ban the conversion of mangrove areas for shrimp and fish farming and prohibit illegal and destructive fishing.

Project Name: Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Project Phase II

Lesson
Government buy-in and long-term commitment to conservation is needed. Based on the experiences and achievements of COREMAP, it is essential that every level of government—national, provincial, and district—strongly commits to implementing marine conservation programs and activities. Under Law No. 23, strong capacity to address illegal fishing is required at the provincial level. To make this happen, provinces need to work closely with districts to develop and internalize the capacity to manage costal resources.

Lesson
Using performance indicators to assess project performance. Performance indicators (in addition to financial disbursements) should be reported throughout implementation to determine whether the project is on track to meet its intended outputs and outcomes.

Project Name: Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Reconstruction

Lesson
Communication between ADB and the government needs to be strengthened. Despite fielding 13 missions, ADB failed to learn of the government’s efforts to undertake component 3B, indicating a possible lack of communication, which needs to be improved.

Project Name: Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Reconstruction
Report Date:
Lesson
Risks of combining emergency assistance projects with the more standard assistance packages. Providing fiscal resources was clearly urgent to ensure uninterrupted service and to reconstruct houses after the political disturbances. However, providing funds for undamaged but old water supply and sanitation systems was not as urgent and should have been completed as a separate project.
