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.

Lesson
The financial impact of projects on local governments needs to be carefully assessed. It seems clear in retrospect that the province could never have been expected to meet the financial requirements of the project—to invest $12 million of its own resources, and to pay high interest on $14 million borrowed from Mindanao Development Fund. The lesson from this is that, unless viable options can be found for funding local investments, a project should not proceed.
