Project Name: Power Transmission Enhancement Investment Program 
Report Date:
Lesson
Although it did not negatively impact the program, submission of the monthly and quarterly progress reports was irregular throughout the MFF implementation. This cannot go unattended under the second MFF, as without timely reporting, program management will not be in a good position to address the implementation challenges, especially those unforeseen at MFF and individual tranche approval. The program management unit should establish a mechanism to regularly monitor physical and financial progress per contract.

In implementing the PPPs and in establishing the PPP unit, specific actions could have been better emphasized to ensure that such projects are affordable to the poor and that these are gender and socially conscious. Providing varied financing mechanisms for different forms of PPPs—such as viability gap funding, availability-based, and Islamic bond financing—were innovations that could be repeated in future projects.

It is important that the TA is appropriately designed to support the delivery of expected outputs and that it is implemented in a timely manner. The program demonstrated the role of a well-designed TA in supporting completion of reforms across the three subprograms and building capacity of the implementing agency. It is also essential that the timing of activities is aligned with the sequencing of policy actions so as not to undermine the achievement of outputs.

The continuous longer-term involvement of the same mission leader and other qualified ADB staff from the design stage until the end of implementation of the three subprograms is important to the success of this program. Familiarity with local institutional challenges and personnel in the government is important for a complex reform program such as this one to achieve progress.

Lesson
The importance of a comprehensive strategic framework that broadens and deepens financial inclusion based on robust diagnostics and analytical work. The rationale for reform and policy actions are to be drawn from these diagnostics, and actions are prioritized and sequenced in addressing the constraints and bottlenecks. Regulatory constraints, institutional capacity limitations, deficiencies in technology infrastructure, and extent of financial literacy need to be clearly identified and assessed based on the analytical work.
