Lesson
Careful consideration of typically applied engineering solutions and examination of project readiness with the use of an agreed upon checklist will help mitigate implementation risks and synchronize startup and financial activities. Engineering solutions that are typically considered could have been looked into during project appraisal, as any changes introduced after loan approval will impact the project cost and implementation period.

Lesson
Project implementation highlights the importance of increased accountability and ownership by all stakeholders in achieving the project’s intended outcome. This, along with a well-designed capacity building intervention for implementing agencies, would help facilitate timely implementation and achievement of project results. Complex projects with many components and a wide geographical coverage require a high level of government commitment and ownership.

Lesson
Ensuring that an acceptable cost-sharing arrangement is in place at the outset, prior to project launch, can help minimize project risks. The rural infrastructure component comprising 80% of total actual project cost was not achieved largely as the LGUs were unable to raise the required counterpart contributions. Moreover, it is essential that appropriate due diligence and risk assessment are undertaken and that risk mitigation measures concerning the financial capability of participating local governments are identified at the outset.
