Lesson
Although the public-private participation approach is an efficient way to implement project activities, the effectiveness will largely depend on close follow-up monitoring and strict adherence to the selection criteria. The in-service training provided by alternative training providers was ranked low as compared to the training provided by primary teacher training centers (PTTCs) and secondary education development units.

Lesson
Since the National Center for Education Development (NCED) as a regular department rather than a separate project implementing unit within the NCED was involved in project implementation, there was strong ownership and coordination among stakeholders, which facilitated implementation of the project.

Effective orientation programs on project approaches, implementation modalities, and the roles of stakeholders contributed to successful project implementation. Implementation partners should be well informed of the approaches and strategies of the project prior to implementation.

Lesson
During the implementation of Part C, the change in construction method from labor to equipment based (otta seal standard) had an effect on the original road length. Detailed study on the construction method needs to be carefully undertaken during the design phase to avoid changes during the implementation phase.

Lesson
The project was implemented during the conflict period (2001-2006) and it faced challenges from local communities, which made additional demands and at times disrupted the work progress. Part A could not be completed as it was highly affected by unrest in Terai. A proper analysis of road design and selection of road sections should be carried out during the design phase to ensure timely completion of the selected road sections is possible.

A few civil works contracts could not be completed even after extending the loan closing date by 18 months. The timeframe, working season, and site analysis should be considered prior to award of contract to ensure timely completion of the contracts.

Lesson
The absence of international joint venture partners in implementation of international competitive bidding (ICB) contracts awarded to joint ventures was observed during project implementation. In all cases, it was clear that the local contractors had applied for prequalification and submitted bids in joint venture with a foreign partner simply to meet the pre-qualification and post-qualification requirements.

Capacity constraints and project complexity. Overly ambitious and complex projects are less likely to be successful. The project, which attempted to tackle a wide range of issues in several subsectors within a short time frame, was too complex given the capacity constraints of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the implementing agencies. Although the MOF had effectively executed ADB projects before, those projects were considerably less complex. Several implementing agencies had little or no previous experience in development-partner-funded projects.

Proper sequencing and project readiness. Proper sequencing of project activities is essential for project success. The project had strong policy, legal, and regulatory content, some of which were addressed through conditions for loan effectiveness and disbursement. However, several more policy, legal, and regulatory reforms were to be supported through the cluster technical assistance (TA) that was approved with the project. Fact-finding for cluster TA was conducted only after project approval.

Lesson
All components of projects should be treated as important and monitored from the early stages of project implementation. The difficulty of establishing technical support centers in five development regions of Nepal under the technical support components was mainly because the executing agency (EA) accorded them low priority and ADB did not follow up sufficiently.

Project design should accommodate the complexity of community participation and the time it requires. Adequate attention should be paid to capacity development in communities to ensure the sustainability of water supply and sanitation (WSS) facilities.
