Lesson
The ambitiousness of goals should be balanced with the availability of data and capacity to quickly augment more granular data collection. Data disaggregated by sex and age of end-recipients are often not available at the time of project preparation and this was the case with this program. Even after effectiveness and during implementation, only limited new data were prepared by the government. Systems were lacking to collect such data.

This program was an integral part of ADB’s overall country support activities and backed the government’s strong commitment to state-owned enterprise reform and structural macroeconomic reform. Particularly through technical assistance to strengthen economic management, it supported macroeconomic stability, sustained growth, and project preparation.

Lesson
Protracted bidding can compromise the implementation of projects. One of the major issues encountered by this project was the protracted bidding process undertaken by the executing agency (EA). The bidding process for the civil works and construction supervision contracts took more than 1 year to complete because of the EA’s unfamiliarity with the updated ADB guidelines. It added to an initial delay of more than 1 year because of changes in the road design, which required updating the design, feasibility study, and tender documents.

Lesson
Careful consideration of typically applied engineering solutions and examination of project readiness with the use of an agreed upon checklist will help mitigate implementation risks and synchronize startup and financial activities. Engineering solutions that are typically considered could have been looked into during project appraisal, as any changes introduced after loan approval will impact the project cost and implementation period.
