Lesson
Current local clan structures and national land acquisition processes encourage maneuvering by clan leaders to maximize compensation payments, which can delay or block project implementation. Models are currently being tested where compensation is paid directly to individual clan members, which may partially remove the disincentives for clan leaders to delay or block project progress. This also partially avoids formal recognition of clan leadership structures, which is traditionally fluid.

Project Name: Provincial Renewable Energy Project

Lesson
Pipelined energy projects could consider (i) requiring completion of land acquisition prior to Board consideration, and (ii) only selecting project sites that do not have existing land disputes and non-customary sites wherever possible.

Lesson
Initial landowner dialogue should include independent advice on indicative compensation package sizes. This will manage inflated landowner perceptions of project benefits which impacts inter-clan coordination and overall compensation negotiation.

Lesson
It was inappropriate to change the original DMF targets because the progress was inadequate (para. 20). Instead, the reasons for the slow progress could have been mentioned and draw lessons from them.

Lesson
Having a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) team in MID would have drawn attention to implementation issues early on as well as provided information needed for economic and financial analyses that would have facilitated the proper assessment of project effectiveness and efficiency.

Preparing feasibility studies for emergency projects. An accelerated approach to preparing feasibility studies and selecting subprojects could be developed for future emergency projects. The process to identify, define, and prioritize the long list of subprojects, prepare and review full feasibility studies, prepare engineering designs, and bid the civil works was time-consuming and prevented early commencement of physical implementation.

Implementation issues. The long front-end implementation delays from the project serve as a major lesson. The expectations in implementing the project under an emergency modality over 18 months as a sector project over remotely located subproject sites, given the low absorptive capacity of Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID), may have been unrealistic. For remote subprojects, higher mobilization and demobilization costs should be factored into cost estimates.

Lesson
Stakeholder consultations. Consultations with landowners and stakeholders should be held and Memoranda of Understanding signed prior to award of contract and physical implementation. During the contract for the rehabilitation of coastal infrastructure, it was only discovered that one of the proposed wharfs was located on customary land after the contract was awarded. The timely completion of the contract was therefore at risk, although the situation was eventually resolved.
