Ensuring adequate project performance monitorng system (PPMS) design—along with collection of baseline data at project preparation phase—supports effective monitoring of a project’s performance. Although establishing a PPMS was covenanted in the grant agreement, the PPMS was ineffective in providing the data required for calculation of economic internal rate of return. The lack of data indicates that the PPMS was inappropriately designed and that a greater focus on the PPMS design at project preparation is needed. For

a detailed design and implementation assessment enhances the project’s success, especially for projects that help provide shipping services to outlying and remote island communities. ADB has experience in this with two projects in the Pacific region that were to provide shipping services to outlying and remote island communities—this one that is under validation while the other is the Community Water Transport Project in Papua New Guinea.16 However, both projects were rated less than successful, which indicate endemic issues with their design and implementation.

Lesson
Financing requirements for the project should have been firmed up from the beginning considering that there were other cofinanciers. It took some time before the EU actually signed the contribution agreement with ADB and this was identified by the midterm review mission as one issue for the project. While it was anticipated that the EU would sign the agreement by June 2011, it was signed only in 2012. This caused delays in the implementation of specific subprojects to be funded out of the EU contribution.

A thorough evaluation of the executing agency capacity’s, especially in providing the required counterpart staff. This is to maximize the knowledge and skills transfer from the consultants to the national staff, and to enable the national staff to manage future projects and maintain existing infrastructures. Under the project, MID was unable to mobilize the required number of counterpart staff resulting in the national consultants assuming their roles in the project.
