Lesson
There were clear benefits to the involvement of the resident mission in supervision due to closer involvement and understanding of the local environment. In addition, project documents revealed that review missions in the early years of the project were not adequately apprised, by the PMU or consultants, of the seriousness of the project’s problems. The lesson from this is the need for (i) in-depth analysis by missions, and (ii) the establishment of mechanisms for consultants to prepare realistic reports to the PMU and ADB.

Procurement problems can be reduced by introducing prior review of procurement documents. In a sector project with many small subprojects, contracts should be grouped into larger packages to reduce the number of civil works contacts. This will help the PMUs as well as ADB to concentrate more effectively on fewer contracts. Use of clear and stringent evaluation and qualification criteria in selection of contractors should be mandatory, and establishing consortia of contractors should be encouraged.

Improving the quality of the feasibility study will minimize uncertainty in identifying subprojects and lead to more precise cost estimates. When subproject cost estimates are uncertain, adequate physical contingencies should be provided in sector projects to mitigate against potential cost overruns.
