Project Name: Nurek 500 kV Switchyard Reconstruction Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The project showed commendable flexibility in implementing new activities (e.g., establishing veterinary centers) in response to beneficiary needs. As a result, the project has strong community support and ownership (e.g., infrastructure, veterinary centers, PUSs [pasture user societies]). This should ensure sustainability.

Lesson
The project benefited from involving women in the planning process of infrastructure projects. There was strong community ownership; the structures targeted community needs; and in many cases women led the operation and maintenance of structures. This contributes strongly to the investment's long-term sustainability.

Implementation of the credit line would have been more successful if (i) financial and integrity due diligence was conducted of financial intermediary and microfinance institutions at appraisal, and (ii) necessary project and subsidiary loan agreements were signed. Having signed agreements between MOF (Ministry of Finance), microfinance institutions, and ADB may have prevented MOF relinquishing its role as financial intermediary after project approval.

Lesson
Effective implementation is strongly linked to the quality of project management. Implementation suffered from poor leadership and a lack of focus on activities and outcomes by the first two project directors. This was reflected in the non-compliance with ADB's Guidelines on the use of Consultants and Procurement Guidelines, and the non-implementation of ADB- approved activity changes. These resulted in delays and reductions in project scope.

Project Number: 37530-013
Project Name: Rural Development Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The project had too many DMF (design and monitoring framework) indicators, some of which were poorly defined and hence not properly measured, set too high for the activities to achieve, without clearly defined targets. Component 3 could only pilot technologies within the implementation period, hence the large-scale raion impacts could only be achieved many years after adoption. Project management did not have the capacity to prioritize the DMF indicators.
