Lesson
Project schedules have to be realistic, providing for a time lag between grant/loan approval and effectivity, incorporating doable timeframes for contract processing, and clearly indicating the target dates for the completion of all key activities.

Lesson
Experienced and dedicated teams contribute to implementation success. The project largely inherited the oversight and management teams from ADB’s first GMS CDC project. Continuity of staff and consistency of support from ADB contributed significantly to the success of the project in achieving most of its outcome and outputs. The appointment of high-ranked officials as project directors ensured effective coordination and implementation of project activities.

Project Number: 41505-012
Project Name: Second Greater Mekong Subregion Regional Communicable Diseases Control Project
Report Date:
Lesson
Strong laboratory capacity and field epidemiology vital for rapid response. The project has appropriately targeted the strengthening of laboratory capacity and field epidemiology as essential for accurate early detection of disease outbreaks. These investments boosted the level of diagnostic preparedness, and the CLV countries rightly requested continued support in improving laboratory quality and building capacity in field epidemiology. The ongoing GMS Health Security Project continues to support these areas as well as hospital infection prevention and control.

Project Name: Second Greater Mekong Subregion Regional Communicable Diseases Control Project
Report Date:
Lesson
Effective communicable disease control starts in the communities. Community preparedness to detect and respond to communicable disease outbreaks is crucial to effective CDC. The MHV model was a learning experience for public health and local leaders in this project. Through community participation, the local stakeholders who are most directly affected were empowered, which in turn encourages ownership and sustainability of the MHV concept.

Project Name: Second Greater Mekong Subregion Regional Communicable Diseases Control Project
Report Date:
Lesson
Investments in regional cooperation are essential for health security. The ability of communicable diseases to cross international boundaries and affect large number of people demands a sustained and coordinated response among neighboring countries. The continued cooperation between the CLV countries provided a good practice for a coordinated response mechanism against this threat. The regional design enabled the sharing of knowledge, experiences, and resources and supported better data capture and timely information exchange, which are essential to CDC.

Lesson
When it comes to mass drug administration programs, greater attention should be given to prophylaxis— especially in the Lao PDR with its high prevalence of helminth infection in rural areas. For remote and hard-to-reach areas, the best possible delivery mechanism for helminth prevention is yet to be identified.
