Enhanced project readiness filters need to be applied to future projects to minimize or avoid the challenges encountered in this project, which commonly occur in infrastructure projects.

Lesson
Procurement of works and recruitment of consultants followed due process and were completed on time. The contract award was synchronized with loan effectiveness and civil works commenced on time. Payment of small amounts to affected persons was a challenging task that is still ongoing. The prompt establishment of the project implementation unit and lessons from tranche 1, particularly regarding LARP implementation, contributed to the smooth startup of construction activities.

Lesson
Although it did not negatively impact the program, submission of the monthly and quarterly progress reports was irregular throughout the MFF implementation.

The program management unit should establish a mechanism to regularly monitor physical and financial progress per contract.
