The preparation of sound project feasibility studies requires a wide range of specific skills (e.g., in market and financial analysis) that need to be developed within the cadre of extension workers, project implementing units (PIUs), and nongovernment organization (NGO) staff. Extension workers should not only have a technical background in fisheries, but must also have business management skills. A well-prepared project feasibility study increases the likelihood of success of a livelihood project.

Lesson
Substantial evidence demonstrates that community-driven development (CDD) approaches are more effective than other approaches to basic infrastructure development. Evidence also indicates that CDD is likely to offer better cost recovery and maintenance of completed infrastructure facilities and services because of the strong sense of ownership of the community members. In addition, CDD leads to better accountability. Transparency in decision making and procurement and increased use of audits have demonstrably reduced corruption and leakage of public funds.

An important lesson is the importance of integrating project funds and activities into government processes, wherever possible. The separation of Decentralized Basic Education Project funds for districts from district government budget mechanisms weakened the link between district education development plans and the annual budgeting process, and made district capacity building less effective.

Lesson
The project framework was not stressed sufficiently by ADB during loan implementation. As a result, the government and the central facilitation unit were not fully aware of all of the objectives of the project. Further, as district project management teams were under considerable political pressure to accelerate the implementation of project activities, the project came to be viewed primarily as a funding mechanism and the emphasis on district capacity development tended to be lost.
