Free water supply connection policy. The policy enabled all households, including poor and low-income families, to have access to piped water supply systems. As a result, 24-hour safe water supply and sanitation coverage in target provinces increased significantly, to more than 90%. This policy should be scaled up in all provinces to promote increased water service and sanitation coverage.

Lesson
The project’s monitoring and reporting system should be strengthened to include updates on the implementation of safeguard requirements. This is to allow (i) the public and affected villagers access to safeguard action plans, consultation opportunities, voluntary land donation criteria, and monitoring reports; and (ii) the PCU to be aware of problems during implementation that could be resolved in a timely manner.

Some GAP targets were formulated unrealistically for the local context. For example, the target of setting quotas of 30% for female participation in the O&M of small-scale civil works was impractical. The works were carried out by communities in which women and men work together. This could have been avoided through consultation with women in subprojects’ areas. The GAP should also have included actions and targets relating to women’s time poverty to quantify gender benefits in the water supply sector more effectively.

Increased TVET enrollment seen with social marketing campaigns and activities to change public perception and promote TVET, provision of voucher grants, and dormitories for students, particularly those from rural and ethnic communities. The project contributed to a significant increase of TVET enrollment, including female students. However, cultural norms and beliefs keep female enrollment low in the three nontraditional skill areas.

Lesson
Set realistic output and outcome targets. Several project targets, including gender outcome and output targets were unrealistic because they did not consider prevailing cultural norms and insufficient information for students and parents on employment opportunities. The project boosted female student enrollment through the voucher scheme, social marketing campaigns and the provision of dormitories. However, female enrollment remained low in the three nontraditional skill areas.

Cooperation with private sector is crucial. The project collaborated with four trade TWGs in developing skill standards and curriculum to meet with labor market demand and employers’ needs. The project also enhanced the TVET institutions’ capacity to work with private enterprises. Over 40 memoranda of agreements were signed in areas of skills training and internships. There is a potential for greater private sector involvement.

Introduction of competency-based training and modular training program are effective methodologies as they use hands on practice rather than abstract learning. It helped students to obtain jobs in the formal sector, and enable others to become self-employed. The project, through the CBT, expanded 15 opportunities for young students, particularly in underserved areas and access to skill training programs offering official certification corresponding to their education level and financial capacity.
