Lesson
Advance procurement actions and decisiveness on the end of the Ceylon Electricity Board and ADB could have prevented procurement delays. The project completion report noted that the project was extended by 24 months to accommodate delays in procurement. [Main text, paras. 20, 71]

Project Number: 30207-013, 30207-023
Project Name: Power Sector Development Program
Report Date: 12 Jan 2010

Lesson
A strong sector development program (policy and investment) entails a design that properly links and demarcates expected impacts, outcomes, and outputs. The Power Sector Development Program (PSDP) failed to coherently set out the objectives between its policy and investment components. Consequently, the lack of clarity between the two components in the PSDP framework contributed to the sector program's underperformance and poor design made it difficult to evaluate.
