Processing of activities or initiatives funded by new modalities takes time. This initiative helped build the capacity of Osh Vodokanal for the safe and sustainable operation of the chlorine neutralization unit at the Osh-Plotina water treatment plant (WTP) in the Kyrgyz Republic, which had been rehabilitated in 2016 under the successful ADB-financed Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Reconstruction project. It was funded under ADB’s small expenditure financing facility (SEFF), which provides a quick and flexible response to small financing needs linked to ADB-financed projects.

Advance procurement is crucial in avoiding startup delays. Government’s ratification of the facility agreement was delayed by 3 months because of the COVID-19 outbreak and the October 2020 political turmoil in the country. But the executing agency effectively used advance procurement to avoid startup delay. With advance procurement for the supply and installation of equipment and consulting services commencing in June 2020, project implementation was completed nearly 1 year ahead of schedule. Financial closing was 8 months earlier than envisaged.

Decentralization and devolution to subnational governments need to be undertaken with caution, especially where capacity is known to be limited. A sequential program is useful, where functions and resources are better devolved first to local governments that are fully staffed and capacitated, and later to others, following a program that improves institutional capacity to accept the new responsibilities.
