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.

Country ownership is critical to successful implementation of the EFRP. The effectiveness of the EFRP (Economic and Financial Reform Program) and the CEWG (core economic working group) mechanism has reflected the strong leadership of the minister of finance and his permanent secretary; support from the prime minister, other ministers, and senior government officials; and the commitment of development partners to support these processes.

Progress fairly steady but slow. Implementation of the EFRP (Economic and Financial Reform Program) has been satisfactory but has often taken longer than anticipated, particularly in the area of legislative reform. The number of policy actions and reforms monitored through the EFRP has varied greatly each year - 49 in 2010, 31 in 2011, 77 in 2012, and 29 in 2013.

Benefits of dialogue and tight focus. The tight focus of the EFRP (Economic and Financial Reform Program) and the ADB policy matrix has helped to strengthen ownership by the government. The CEWG (core economic working group) policy dialogue contains three main elements: (i) discussions on the design and implementation of the EFRP policy matrix, (ii) regular CEWG meetings, and (iii) the annual joint review missions. Policy dialogue was anchored on the EFRP matrix with its objectives of strengthened PFM, budget reform, and economic growth.
