Lesson
For the gender action plan, indicators need to be designed to require reporting of baseline and latest data disaggregated by sex for evidence that the practice exists. In this project, indicators such as “MOH public information on drug safety including rapid alert system improved by 2014 (data on persons affected by unsafe drugs are sex-disaggregated)” and “minutes of community meetings and attendance lists were disaggregated by sex” were reported without evidence of sex-disaggregated data.

It is important for output performance indicators to be strengthened to address project changes during implementation and measure overall achievements beyond the revised project-benefit levels. Specific to this project, the design and monitoring framework could have provided additional measures to assess what those child-targeted income support have intended to achieve.

Budget allocations and actual expenditures to continually achieve project objectives are an indication of its sustainability. As there was a general lack of a strong legal framework or related reform to support the sustainability of the project, ADB should have used information on budget allocations and actual expenditure for the higher education sector after project implementation to more substantially confirm the sustainability of the project’s results.

It is important to include in the design and monitoring framework (DMF) the extent to which capacity-building activities improve trainees' perception of their capacity to perform project-related tasks to gauge the effectiveness of such activities. Most project activities were capacity building. However, DMF targets measuring capacity-building activities were limited to the number of trainees reached which was purely informational for project accountability.

Changes in scope could cause a lack of alignment between outcomes and outputs in the project’s results chain. The outcome target indicator for the increased number of disadvantaged students enrolled in HEIs was not linked to the output activity and indicator that the project design intended. By associating an outcome target with a potential output activity that can contribute to its achievement, project implementation activities would be purposeful.

An institutional analysis undertaken during appraisal phase helps provide an assessment of the technical capacity of concerned institutions as this is essential in ensuring smooth project implementation activities. Such analysis could include a political-economy assessment that could help strengthen project preparation activities, especially in assessing possible changes to policies and government priorities.

Lesson
It is important that performance indicators are results-oriented rather than process-oriented. .The performance targets set out in the design and monitoring framework (DMF) were more process- than results oriented in terms of targeting developing systems, and producing reports, assessments, and reviews. The completion of a report or review or assessment, for instance, was judged as an accomplishment. Instead, the indicators should have reflected the actual implementation of the recommendations.

Gender considerations need to be fully integrated in the design of projects and be reflected in the design and monitoring framework (DMF) to ensure that these are effectively addressed during project implementation. The executing and implementing agencies had limited commitment and involvement in the implementation of the Gender action plan (GAP), reflecting the view that the Gender dimension is separate from the main project activities.

The results chains of original and additional financing projects (AFPs) need to be aligned to ensure consistency in performance evaluation. Given that the scope of the AFP was different from that of the original project, it should have been processed as a new project. Because of the difference in scope, the impact and outcome statements as well as performance Indicators of the two projects did not align, making it challenging to reconcile and evaluate the overall project achievements.

Road projects can only be justified if a credible traffic forecast is prepared for the with-project and without-project scenarios. Project preparation should include robust traffic surveys and accurate traffic forecasts, based on the economic circumstances of the region in the project’s target area.

Lesson
Strong community support is better assured through collaboration with local groups. Even in baghs (subdistricts) where shelters were not constructed, community support was strong because of the BNGs established by the project. Community ties nurtured through the BNGs have resulted in knowledge exchange, responsibility-sharing among the herders, and efficient use of BNG revolving funds and disaster risk reduction equipment and tools. BNGs organized various activities that benefited the whole community, such as road repairs and fence-building new fences.

Small-scale infrastructure can have an added value. The construction of livestock shelters and wells increased agricultural production and reduced livestock losses for many households. The results of this activity inspired other BNGs to build disaster-resilient infrastructure using their own resources. During the project completion review fieldwork missions, local residents expressed gratitude and gave positive feedback on the benefits they received.
