This validation adds that data availability (of income and non-income variables at the village and district levels), costs in time and resources, and simplicity of application tend to play a greater role in determining the actual targeting mechanism used; it is therefore important to allocate resources to ensure that a project’s targeting mechanism has these elements. This validation adds the following lessons: (i) BRI appreciated the presence of third-party providers of intermediation services to SHGs (given BRI’s insufficient experience with non-collateralized loans).

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.

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.
