Lesson
Subproject Appraisal Reports. Since SARs were prepared for each upazila, 96 SARs were produced. This was a huge and time consuming task that took almost two years to complete. It is recommended that future projects should produce SARs on the basis of districts or regions rather than upazila. This concept would have reduced the number of reports to 16 if prepared on a district basis or 2 if prepared on a regional basis.

Lesson
Advanced Procurement Action. Early procurement for contract packages is absolutely essential to enable projects to meet their implementation schedule. In this case, the major civil works contract packages for year 1 were prepared by the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) during the feasibility study before the project consultants were mobilized and the subproject appraisal reports (SARs) were prepared. Early recruitment of the consultants would have improved the performance of the project in the early stages. The recruitment process should be simplified to avoid delays.

Lesson
Need to avoid including conditions in loans that depend on passing or amending legislation, or seeking high-level approval, such as from the Cabinet. This was the case in the RMC component that sought annual allocations in the budget for road maintenance. Projects that require legal or high-level administrative changes often experience major delays or fail to meet their objectives.
