Effective capacity building efforts are contingent on consistent supervision and support. High staff turnover among ADB’s project officers and district governments tended to hamper effective communication and rapport-building among stakeholders. Consequently, this disrupted efforts to promote decentralized basic education management. Means of effective transfer and sharing of knowledge through, for instance, continued training are imperative.

Good technological infrastructure at the school and district levels can help address concerns about data management. MONE has implemented the Dapodik online school database system. Schools are required regularly to submit data to this system. However, many schools do not have access to the internet to accomplish this task. School staff must also be capacitated to utilize this online database effectively. 102.

Decentralization of basic education can be bolstered through strong collaboration between MORA and MONE. To address the structural misalignment between MONE and MORA, the role of provincial governments in decentralized basic education should be strengthened, particularly in monitoring and evaluation. The Indonesian government appears to be moving toward intensifying the delegation of authority to provincial governments in basic education.

The project yielded the following insights for similar, future community-driven development projects: (i) Inclusive involvement of community members in decision making and implementation of infrastructure projects is needed to ensure ownership and transparency. (ii) Community facilitators and consultants must be well selected so that only qualified and committed personnel are deployed to support communities in the empowerment process and on technical matters.

Capacity development requires continuous investment. Human resource development is key to providing improved health services. A large number of health staff, including medical doctors and midwives, received scholarships to build capacity in obstetrics and neonatal care. However, local governments' fiscal capacity to finance capacity development was limited or nonexistent. Significant investments, both in terms of capacity building and health infrastructure, will be required to meet the maternal mortality MDG target by 2015.

Project scope and coverage should be feasible. To increase impact, project resources should not be spread over a large geographic area. A large number of intended outputs most likely will slow down project implementation. Investment priorities based on health needs and poverty incidence may contribute to increased effectiveness.

Greater focus should be placed on O&M arrangements, which should be incorporated into the participatory irrigation management agreement with district governments. The Rencana Pengembangan dan Pengelolaan Irigasi (district irrigation management plan) is an effective planning mechanism that provides appropriate O&M for district systems using a needs-based budget approach.

Water user association involvement in rehabilitation works yielded better quality and more efficient implementation than similar works implemented by contractors. The water users association and water users association federation were also willing to contribute their own resources to the work program.

The use of prorated financing across the three sources of funds for all expenditure categories should be avoided. Adequate initial advances to imprest accounts should be provided to minimize pre-financing of loan activities through government temporary accounts. The fund flow mechanism adopted by Directorate General of Regional Development for regional activities should not be used in future projects.

The project has shown that the participatory approach in irrigation development and management is a feasible concept and that farmers are eager to be involved with irrigation operation and maintenance (O&M) and management. The involvement of water users association and water users association federation in the irrigation commission provided a good approach to address irrigation water distribution, cropping patterns, and O&M planning and implementation.
