Lesson
While work on the land acquisition and resettlement seemed to have progressed well, the executing agency—the West Yunnan Railway Company (WYRC)—should have been provided more assistance in its implementation given its inexperience with both PRC and ADB practices. As such, ADB assistance, through more frequent missions during the implementation period, could have provided the guidance needed for land acquisition and resettlement.

Strong commitment from the executing agency and the implementing agency is critical for successful project implementation.

Lesson
Although Kunming municipal government and Yunnan provincial government provided additional counterpart funding for the project and committed to share a big portion of the ADB loan repayment, KWSG undertook a heavy financial burden resulting from domestic commercial loans for the project (about 44% of the total project cost) and the associated water plants and distribution works (100% of the total cost).

Procurement could have been improved. Civil works for conveyance works could have been grouped in bigger packages to attract contractors with good reputation, higher qualification, stronger financial resources, and more experience with large civil works contracts. This will reduce the risk of contract implementation as well as reduce the cost for managing the large number of contracts.
