Aid agencies need to make the criteria for their support clear to the government counterpart, while understanding why the government is seeking assistance in the first place. In the case of Danida, they held the funding as they wanted TESDA to (i) receive an adequate budget allocation, and (ii) seek reimbursement from Danida after spending their own budgetary resources. However, the government had a budget problem. Danida spent 2 years trying to encourage the budget allocation for TESDA, but that did not happen. Danida eventually canceled their portion after 2 years.

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.
