Lesson
Small projects in the water supply and sanitation sector have high capital costs relative to larger projects where economies of scale are a factor and affect tariff levels and affordability in smaller communities. Government budgetary support is necessary to ensure operation and maintenance and long-term benefits when economies of scale are absent. Budgetary support also maintains affordable tariffs for the most disadvantaged.

When designing results frameworks, the use of policy actions as results indicators should be minimized. If the indicator measures the reform success by the completion of the policy actions, it provides little information on the success of that policy action and undermines the relevance of the policy action for no result is achieved other than itself.

Lesson
The project community development groups and community development committees were important during implementation, including the need to ensure the active participation of women and disadvantaged groups. However, these were not sustainable for operations and maintenance after project completion. This is possibly because small civil society organizations must rely on voluntary contributions to pay for annual audits and expenses related to running an office.

When programs embody reforms that are directed at strengthening the institutional framework for the operation of key markets, such as those underlying financial markets, clearly articulating them in the program documents clarifies objectives. By not doing so, it risks the results of the program not being fully apparent due to the lengthy period for the reforms to come to fruition. By setting as outcome objectives, what the improved framework will lead to places the outcome outside the time frame of the program

Development partners should both support and take advantage of opportunities that arise when governments are committed to reform, which should also be recognized in their country programming. the government that came to office in 2018 was strongly reform-minded. Even though Armenia suffered two exogenous shocks in the form of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and conflict with a neighboring country, reform commitment did not waver. This contributed strongly to the ultimate outcome of this program.

The success of an emergency assistance loan can be better measured if the efficiency of the use of loan proceeds can be determined through the computation of an economic internal rate of return for investments, in this case, for the roads. This is to clearly ascertain the degree by which the benefits of the projects outweigh their costs.

Rebuilding model schools provides opportunities to demonstrate their usefulness to the larger school program and to communities particularly in building disaster-resilient schools, and to develop knowledge and skills in disaster risk management. It also provides a space for greater social inclusion and increased ownership as local authorities and communities are mobilized for rebuilding and reconstruction.
