Implementation of government’s priorities. Involving the provincial and district levels and strengthening their capacity to identify and address the local needs reflected the government’s Sam Sang initiative, giving provinces and the districts more responsibilities and authorities. The reforms offered an opportunity to effectively apply the new policy, resulting in a strong government support for HSGP. ADB’s capacity-building activities at the provincial level in previous health projects provided useful experience to better target technical support at all levels.

Well-laid criteria for the selection of subprojects, developed as an integral part of the preparation of sector projects, ensure coherence between the design of the sector projects and all subprojects, including those identified and prepared only during implementation. They also facilitate the preparation and processing of subsequent subprojects.

Sound DMFs are a product of rigorous analyses of the requirements for arriving at desired scenarios, given the baseline conditions, capacities of the EAs/IAs, and the development environment against which the projects are set. Such analyses result in realistic targets and implementation schedules and provide the basis for identifying the implementation risks and how they could be mitigated.
