Lesson
Well-designed road facilities and the systematic monitoring and collection of the traffic accident and volume data are critical for transport policy and for safe and sustainable transport over the long term. Road investments alone cannot ensure that sustainability objectives are achieved; complementary measures are needed to offset the adverse impacts of infrastructure provision, but to support this, traffic accident and count data need to be accurately collected and monitored.

Lesson
Innovative technologies need to be carefully assessed and monitored to determine their efficacy and sustainability. As new technologies are made available through various projects, close monitoring of their application and performance and as well as best practices should be incorporated so they can contribute to the success of the program and projects. Accumulation of this knowledge and its proper dissemination within ADB will ensure that it can be applied to other projects in different locations.

Lesson
The MFF is a useful modality for providing the substantial financing required for infrastructure through successive tranches, but frequent policy dialogue between ADB and the executing agency would support the strategic long-term requirements of the sector. Implementation of the program demonstrated the flexibility and effectiveness of the MFF modality, for example when an additional tranche was approved to cover a section of the corridor that was originally not envisioned for ADB finance.

Road safety know-how in different countries are at different levels, and it isimportant to have regular meetings with government counterparts to ensure that the TA remains relevant to their needs, and to fine tune if their needs change. It is also important to build close relationships with other non-government stakeholders and determine if they have activities in the road safety sector to avoid duplication. The follow-up TA includes more regional, and national capacity development activities to support CAREC DMCs.

Strong demand from CAREC for similar TA projects is confirmed in annual TSCC meetings and there is also potential demand from South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) countries and other DMCs for similar TA projects which are being discussed in road safety workshops and conferences. The coordination of activities of this TA with relevantinternational development agencies, agencies in CAREC member countries, civil society and other stakeholders to avoid overlapping and to maximize the effectiveness of the project can be replicated in other TA projects.
