Lesson
Data collection on all Indicators in each tranche project should be ensured to facilitate a reliable assessment of the accomplishments and performance of each project and the entire MFF. The executing agency (EA) is required, as part of the government’s undertakings, to establish a project performance monitoring system to collect and measure baseline data on the performance Indicators in the design and monitoring framework (DMF) during implementation and to submit to ADB, as self-evaluation, the government’s completion report for the implemented projects.

Clear understanding of government and ADB policies, guidelines, and procedures. Lack of familiarity with and understanding of policies, guidelines, and procedures of the government and ADB�particularly on procurement, accounting, and financial reporting�is often a source of confusion and delays. It is important that project implementation unit (PIU) staff, especially new ones where staff turnover is high, be given adequate orientation and hands-on training. PIU budgets should contain allocations for staff training.

Assessment of capacity of the executing agency. During project preparation a comprehensive assessment of the executing agency's procurement capacity should help identify possible challenges in project implementation. In case of weak capacity, technical assistance grants can help to strengthen procurement capacity, especially in projects where success is linked predominantly to fast- paced, transparent procurement involving international competitive bidding (ICB).
