As outputs 1 and 2 targeted expressway development across the whole country and mainly focused on capacity building, they can be designed as part of knowledge and support technical assistance to better facilitate the nationwide initiatives and provide relatively long-term training support. For similar studies involving highly political decisions, necessary governance and institutional arrangements should be in place from the onset to improve the chance of sustaining TA outputs.

Lesson
The number of projects and subprojects to be implemented under any assistance package must consider the absorptive capacity of local contractors, availability of construction materials, and local labor. Close attention must be given to the quality of the facilities and infrastructures built. Utilizing local contractors and labor have their trade-offs, such as implementation delays and deficiency in financial resources, but the quality of the completed facilities is nonnegotiable. This would require closer supervision, frequent monitoring, and faster processing of payments.
