The project has highlighted the need to provide ongoing operation and maintenance (O&M) capacity building support and to monitor actual O&M implementation after loan closure. Future projects should incorporate provision for executing agencies to establish O&M technical support teams conducting biannual infrastructure O&M inspections and providing ongoing training to LGUs on O&M practices after project completion.

Lesson
Slow funds liquidation results in inadequate funds availability, slowing implementation. Future projects should ensure that seamless, efficient, and simple funds disbursement processes are established that satisfy appropriate procurement and financial audit requirements. Future projects should consider (i) direct payment of contractors by ADB; (ii) making imprest account levels appropriate to the funds flows anticipated; and (iii) simplified disbursement procedures and documentation requirements, preferably through the executing agency.

Lesson
While the project as stated in the land acquisition and resettlement plan recognizes the importance of active participation of the different local stakeholders, the municipal, and barangay local government units (LGUs) have largely been credited only on organizing consultation meetings between Transco and the affected people. LGUs could have been likewise tapped as information disseminators and the ?first line of troubleshooters? in instances of grievance.
