Project procurement plan should be developed in close consultation with the executing agency and resident mission staff in charge of project implementation, considering the lessons under other projects, and be flexibly adjusted. Time-consuming recruitment of many consultants along with unsuitable selection methods resulted in implementation delays. For future projects of similar nature and scope, suitable procurement packaging and selection methods should be set up based on the requirements for project progress and capacity of the EA and/or IAs.

Advance actions were one of the measures to reduce project startup delay. However, there seems to be inadequate clarity on implementing advance actions in the government rules, and a good mechanism to make the subproject civil works ready for execution before or right after the project becomes effective. Currently, government control over the provincial debt ceiling and implementation of relevant budget management policies also contribute to startup delays and, therefore, limit project readiness.

A coherent design and monitoring framework (DMF) is necessary as a basis for project planning, monitoring, and evaluation. The DMF for this project made evaluation a more difficult exercise than it should have been and weakened design relevance. The outcome indicator is too technical, unfamiliar to the executing agency, and was difficult to reevaluate.

Lesson
Having a strong, experienced executing agency was important to the success of this project. The professional, permanent and technical central project office (CPO) added value to project implementation and the quality of project outputs. However, for new similar projects, these implementation arrangements, where a central ministry such as Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) work as the executing agency, is in principle no longer possible in accordance with the new government policy.
