Since project benefits are contingent on the actual extent to which disasters/accidents occur, the EIRR may not be the right tool for decision making. Cost-effectiveness or finding the least-cost option approach would be more appropriate.

Project Name: Railway Safety Enhancement Project

Lesson
Freight transportation was initially the major benefit envisaged under this project. Since decisions to change railway corridor priorities, e.g., the balance between a high-speed passenger railway versus freight railway services, are usually the basis of a railway services plan, the modification in project design should have been known even at the appraisal stage since the Chongqing–Lichuan Railway (CLR) was to be a section of the Shanghai-Wuhan-Chengdu corridor high-speed passenger railway.

Lesson
The absence of detailed cost estimates and procurement plan that clearly allocate funds for external monitoring led to delays in recruiting external environment monitoring agencies, reduced the scope of external monitoring, and caused delays in the submission of environment monitoring reports for some subprojects. The lesson from this can be considered in similar future projects.

Lesson
Given the importance of the project to women (based on the household survey and focus group discussions during appraisal stage), more attention is needed to identify an appropriate gender mainstreaming category. Without this, the project may lack interventions that could directly improve women's access to and in managing basic urban infrastructure.

While the heating component helped expand the heating service area and reduce the annual coal consumption and sulfur dioxide emissions as targeted, the project formulation team could have carried out more extensive studies to include in the project design innovative measures to gradually phase out coal as the heating source. This is especially important given the ADB’s new energy policy. In the future, ADB will need to take a more cautious approach to decarbonize, as called for by the Special Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General.
