Lesson
The project design should have focused primarily on components 1 and 2, and only those parts of components 3 and 4 that were doable, by taking into account the capacity of the executing agency in implementing these components. A more accurate assessment of its capacity should have been conducted at project preparation stage.

This relates to the baseline data that was missing in the project. The lack of basic data as the benchmark for evaluation has caused difficulties in assessing the project’s achievements; hence, the evaluation was mainly based on qualitative data.

Report Date:
Lesson
The project’s main objective is to improve the quality, relevance, and equitable access to basic education in Uzbekistan by using ICT. However, the RRP and the PCR had limited discussions on this main objective, presumably because the project was being implemented alongside other projects in the education sector. Notwithstanding, achieving an enhanced access and higher quality of basic education was an essential accomplishment of the project that should have been highlighted.

The first railway project is a good model for ADB to follow when starting a new program in a country. The first railway project was among the first projects that ADB financed in Uzbekistan. When ADB starts a new program in a country, government officials and others must learn about ADB’s policies, procedures, and requirements, including those regarding safeguards, anti-corruption, and procurement.

Project Number: 30457-016
Project Name: Railway Rehabilitation Project and Railway Modernization Project [Loans 1631/1773]
Report Date:
Lesson
Future projects should have an implementation consultant or a construction supervision consultant throughout project implementation. In each railway project, the monthly reports prepared by UTY did not discuss civil works in detail and lacked information, for example, on detailed designs and who developed them, the exact location of rehabilitated sites, and photographs showing progress. ADB’s limited oversight of civil works probably also contributed to resources being temporarily diverted to another project during implementation of the first project.

Report Date:
Lesson
Loan agreements for projects in Uzbekistan should include a covenant that will avoid unnecessary delays from the contract registration process of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, Investment, and Trade. In each railway project, the ministry’s price verification during the contract registration process unnecessarily delayed procurement. Price verification aims to encourage renegotiation of bid prices when the ministry believes prices are too high.

Lesson
Before preparing projects for Central Asia or the Caucasus, ADB should determine if restricting procurement to ADB-member countries will significantly raise the cost of goods and services over unrestricted procurement. For the two railway projects, the least-cost source of rails was nonmember countries, and limiting procurement to ADB member countries raised the cost of rails by more than 150%.
