Lesson
Setting-up, collection, and reporting of baseline and performance indicators are essential to strengthen a project’s monitoring framework. Well-defined outputs and outcome indicators, targets, and baselines specific to project intervention areas improve project monitoring and results evaluation (e.g., reporting outcome or output indicators outside project areas hinders the attribution of results to the project).

Lesson
Rather than being a lesson learned, this is a useful recommendation. A suggested rephrasing of this into a lesson learned is: Establishing an interagency cooperation between different government authorities and designating representatives with a co-leading role ensure better management and timely resource mobilization, especially when targeted participants (including FDI investors and overseas contractors) are not managed and inspected by the implementing agency but by other government authorities.
