Lesson
The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) program did not increase the number of children fully immunized before 1 year of age or collect complete data during the impact evaluation rounds on the share of beneficiary children aged 6–14 years of age who were working. It is recommended that future support to the 4Ps program include technical assistance to support the government to identify key issues preventing immunization before 1 year of age and ensure robust M&E of children’s attendance in school and participation in work and labor activities.

Lesson
The project was complex and involved many stakeholders (DBP, DOH and PHIC, LGUs, private sector venture, small-scale private providers, and local beneficiaries). A careful stakeholder analysis involving consultations with all participants to identify needs, constraints, and potential benefits could have improved the project design, its assumptions, and risk mitigation strategies.

Lesson
Project ownership is important. With DBP, a financial institution as executing agency, DOH did not have primary responsibility for this health project. Inter-sector collaboration can bring significant benefits but is not easy: it requires significant efforts and a clear governance structure with specific reporting and coordination mechanisms. Leadership is essential and needs to be carefully established to ensure effectiveness and efficiency. The HSIAC should have been more actively involved and better coordinated the project.

Lesson
Private health providers can play an important role when developing a network of quality health services in rural and other underserved areas. The needs of private sector entities and small-scale health providers, however, are different. Easy access to credit by small-scale providers, in itself, is insufficient. Needs and constraints also should be addressed. This covers (i) technical support—referral networks, continuous training, and colleagues’ advice; and (ii) family support—access to schools for children, work opportunities for the spouse, safety, and other needs and constraints.

The adequacy and appropriateness of project design have to be tailored to the project’s ultimate objectives and complexities. The PCR provided weak justification of the relevance of the extension and the insufficiency of indicators.
