Lesson
Urban land acquisition in densely populated areas poses significant challenges. Compensation rates may rise during implementation, driven by urbanization rather than project schedules, potentially causing delays beyond the control of the project. Aligning civil engineering procurement with land acquisition progress is essential to prevent contractual disputes. Close collaboration, clear milestones, and effective communication mitigate risks. Establishing a resettlement information system aids in early issue identification, maintaining transparency.

Knowledge gained from projects needs to be shared to optimize benefits. The knowledge developed through the project—the groundwater protection engineering and non engineering measures—would be beneficial if made accessible and promoted to key stakeholders. The recording of data on groundwater mitigation, water reservoirs, river and embankment protection, and wetland benefits should be maintained.

Accessibility to key stakeholders of knowledge captured from projects can maximize their use and continued enhancement. Knowledge developed from this project, including the saline and wetland management guidelines, will be of continuing value to stakeholders; therefore,it should be made accessible to them. Periodic data recording on flood mitigation, losses, saline soils, and wetland benefits should be maintained.

Structural and nonstructural interventions require cohesive and integrated approaches, necessitating long-term planning and consultative processes. For example under this project, safeguard readiness including securing design approval from pertinent agencies should have been pursued more effectively. Project readiness for physical works should be adequately considered in drawing up implementation schedules. Accurate and realistic cost estimates based on detailed technical design can reduce the risk of loan cancellations.

Shifts in the types of projects can affect the financing products that may be supported under the clean energy financing (CEFP) platform. At project design, the CEFP was planned to provide three types of financing products: entrusted loans, guarantee funds, and lease financing facilities. During implementation, only entrusted loans were utilized. The other two financing products were not used because of shifts in the types of projects which did not require guarantees and lease financing.

The use of advanced technology to analyze the evolving needs of the labor market will significantly contribute to cultivating talents based on industry development trends and foster TVET development. The labor market information (LMIS) developed under this project included a tracer study to obtain information on TVET graduates’ employment situations and trends, as well as employers’ feedback and degrees of satisfaction. The LMIS was the first TVET student labor market information system

Close alignment of sustainable campus and “3R” concepts with climate change mitigation and adaptation practices could enhance impacts. Since the “3R” concept was already incorporated as an output-level deliverable in the design and monitoring framework, more specifications could have been provided at the project design stage, so that the emissions reduction were reportable and verifiable. The concept could have been also closely linked with green job training and promotion to foster the province’s low-carbon economic transformation.

Signing of loan agreement is essential to achieving project readiness. To avoid possible risk, the executing agency did not start the project implementation, including the detailed design for civil works, until the loan agreement was signed on 6 February 2013. That slowed project implementation progress in the early stage. In the future, ADB needs to convince the counterpart to enhance project readiness.

It is important to examine the rural grassroots performance of financial intermediaries being considered for agricultural financial service projects with a large number of clients. The performance of potential intermediaries for agricultural financial service projects catering to smallholder farmers, cooperatives, and agricultural small and medium enterprises needs to be examined to ensure that intended benefits are not unduly compromised.

Upgrading and retrofitting for energy efficiency improvements during the production process may result in mutual interactions and uncertain impacts, which can cause implementation delays and safety risks. These factors should be noted by future device-upgrading projects in factories; for example, factories should be equipped with more safety and environmental protection personnel, and enough time should be reserved for projects that include upgrading of production processes.
