Project Number: 37287-013
Project Name: Tonle Sap Lowlands Rural Development Project
Report Date:
Lesson
A higher level of attention and perhaps resources need to be given to the gathering of impact and outcome data at the start, middle, and end of the project. These are needed for a higher-quality evaluation and results-oriented management of the project, Coordinated execution of all envisaged activities and provision of both “software” and “hardware” support to beneficiaries are key elements that could facilitate implementation.

Lesson
Baseline information and regular monitoring are essential components to evaluate project performance; monitoring and evaluation should be undertaken properly during project implementation.

Project Number: 39603-012
Project Name: Tonle Sap Sustainable Livelihoods Project
Report Date:
Lesson
It is easy to overestimate the capacity needed to implement a project that is largely undertaking pilot activities and which also involves significant reforms. At all levels of involvement - executing agency, service providers, contractors, farmers' water user community members - capacity constraints affected project performance. In these circumstances, the project design was both overambitious (e.g., by not focusing on fewer subprojects from the outset) and not rigorous enough (in its analysis of the risks and assumptions inherent in many operations).

Lesson
ADB's high-level steering committee demonstrated ADB's institutional support, which enhanced coordination between development partners. The committee, comprising the heads of all regional departments and the Strategy and Policy Department and chaired by the director general of RSDD, provided prompt policy guidance and expedited decisions and actions. It also ensured that the needs of the countries were ascertained and that they had adequate access to project resources.

Lesson
ADB was able to use its convening power effectively because it had the necessary in-house technical expertise. Public health experts on ADB's staff with knowledge of emerging infectious diseases were involved in designing and implementing the project. This in-house expertise made the dialogue with the technical and regional agencies to strengthen regional collaboration within and across the animal health and human health sectors possible.

Lesson
Each new outbreak of disease confronts projects such as this one, as well as the implementing partners and global community, with a fresh challenge, because its early spread outpaces the gathering of scientific evidence needed to formulate containment policies. Each successive outbreak is followed by an initial opaque period characterized by a frustrating lack of scientific evidence on which to base policies and technical guidance.
