Thorough analysis of beneficiary preference, demand, and willingness to pay has to be conducted to ensure that preconceived notions of demand are verified, validated, and confirmed on the ground from the beneficiaries themselves. Very often project proponents from central government agencies have a different concept of needs and priorities from those at the field or local level. Local involvement in project conceptualization ensures greater project success, as there would be better ownership of project components and more accurate identification of needs of intended beneficiaries.

Given the multisectoral nature of the program and the utilization of the proceeds in various reconstruction and development projects, strong oversight mechanisms needed to be in place at the outset to ensure optimal use of and reporting on funds.

This validation also considers lessons that can be drawn from the project relating to the problems of establishing viable private sector institutions in a transition economy. For instance, RBAC and the MTP were intended to be self-sufficient by project end. In practice, their ability to charge fees or recover loans has been limited, and neither organization is likely to be sustainable without continuing support from the government. The WUAs likewise are only able to collect 20% to 30% of their fees.
