Risk management framework is vital in mitigating the high-risk aspects of the project. These could be avoided by specifically monitoring those risks that remain high. This need to be articulated in the RRP so that the borrower reports back on these high-risk areas, and to satisfy the ADB concern that appropriate monitoring is occurring.

Lesson
The executing agency and the national project implementation team need to have adequate capacity to undertake the varied roles required in a broad project like this. Such roles as procurement, management of civil works contracts, record keeping, monitoring, and evaluation are just some of the necessary attributes required of a project management team. If the capacity is not present at inception, then part of the initial implementation process should include provision for on-the-job training and capacity building.

Project Name: GMS - Cambodia Northwest Provincial Road Improvement Project

Lesson
Contractor Assessment. The project was affected by the unsatisfactory performance of two contractors and one supplier. Although such performance issues are usually observed in projects of similar nature, it is not simple to find a resolution through the bidding process or contract administration. Therefore, a well-planned performance monitoring system by the government linked to sanctioning of such entities may be a likely remedy.

Timely Implementation of Resettlement Compensation. The timely implementation of resettlement (including at the CBF) was a risk identified at project appraisal. The project encountered delays in resettlement compensation due to slow disbursement of counterpart funds. Since delays in resettlement affect civil works implementation, measures to supplement counterpart funds, including the use of ADB loan proceeds for resettlement compensation, should be considered.

Lesson
Cross-Border Facilities (CBF) Rehabilitation. No CBF rehabilitation between Cambodia and Thailand included in past ADB-financed projects was implemented since the government failed to acquire land in a timely manner. Therefore, future subregional projects of similar nature need to assess the feasibility of land acquisition for CBF at the concept stage. Depending on the case, either the project should not be considered for ADB-financing or the government should ensure that land acquisition is completed before the fact-finding mission, as an advance action.

Lesson
Even if funds were available, delays in the implementation of the CRRP were inevitable because existing government policies obstructed smooth implementation of the CRRP programs, projects, and activities (PPAs). Examples of such policies are procurement laws and land use policies. Some policies may have to be reviewed to meet post- disaster recovery related needs, and other mechanisms established to speed up post-disaster public procurement.

Lesson
Given that the government planned to withdraw the loan proceeds based on its financing needs to support CRRP implementation, and the lack of a definite schedule for disbursements, close coordination between ADB and the government was crucial. This ensured ADB's timely release of funds when needed.

Project Name: Emergency Assistance for Relief and Recovery from Typhoon Yolanda
Report Date:
Lesson
Processing of the emergency loan before the government finalized its Yolanda Recovery and Rehabilitation Plan (YRRP, called the Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan or CRRP in its final form) provided the government with the certainty of funding, and ensured the effectiveness of CRRP implementation. ADB worked with the government in the design and monitoring framework of the CRRP.
