Lesson
This validation adds that data availability (of income and non-income variables at the village and district levels), costs in time and resources, and simplicity of application tend to play a greater role in determining the actual targeting mechanism used; it is therefore important to allocate resources to ensure that a project’s targeting mechanism has these elements. This validation adds the following lessons: (i) BRI appreciated the presence of third-party providers of intermediation services to SHGs (given BRI’s insufficient experience with non-collateralized loans).

Lesson
Poor countries are rightly skeptical of borrowing only for consulting services because in the absence of the requisite infrastructure they fail to internalize outputs and derive gains from the institutional reforms in full. This affects the extent to which government ownership materializes through the course of implementation. The RRP summarized the lessons identified from prior financial sector reform projects (RRP, page 11, para. 35) on government ownership in terms of the reform agenda.

Closer attention to the linkages (or the theory of change) between the provision of infrastructure and the resulting changes in social behavior and development outcomes may have been a more useful basis for project M&E, i.e., what were the behavior changes and could they be observed in project and non-project towns? This lesson applies more broadly to infrastructure projects that identify high level social outcomes and explicit behavior change for their longer-term success.

Institutionalize - fast-tracking - and flexibility. The technical assistance (TA) attached to the project allowed flexible responses to diverse capacity gaps, and fast-tracked procurement and disbursement, and the implementation of the safeguards policy. The flexibilities allowed under the emergency policy reduced procurement time and enabled efficient mobilization of resources.

Enhance transparency for effective oversight. The government-established ERRA Council, headed by the prime minister, consists of independent and reputable individuals from civil society in the affected regions. The council followed the reconstruction process and reviewed and reported regularly to the general public on its progress and outcomes, developing a sense of ownership. Independent oversight, involving representatives of civil society disseminating information to key constituents, promoted transparency and enhanced the credibility of the host government.

Articulate policies, strategy, and standards early. The local populations and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) started reconstruction work well before provincial and federal governments started articulating their responses. Expectations rose, and some facilities, especially in health, were built by bilateral donors to standards that were much higher than the capacity of the line agencies to maintain them. This resulted in inconsistencies, violations of policies and standards developed for reconstruction work, and unsustainable operation of completed facilities.

Lesson
Clarify roles and respect existing mandates. Initial delays in implementation of the project were caused by confusion about the roles of new and existing institutions. Any large- scale reconstruction operation requires clear delineation of the mandates of levels of government, to provide the structure and clarity required for all stakeholders to work with maximum efficiency. To the extent possible, the provincial and regional governments and federal agencies should be provided with capacity to perform their mandated roles.
