The Managing Government Expenditure prescription on public financial management would be appropriate: (i) never transpose into a different social and economic context reforms introduced elsewhere, without in-depth assessment of their impact and requirements and appropriate adaptation if necessary; (ii) never move beyond the basics until one is certain that the basics have been set right; (iii) never hope for a quick-and-easy technical solution to complex and longstanding budget process problems; and above all, (iv) keep the local authorities firmly in charge of the reform process, and never

Need for the government's continuous capacity enhancement in project preparation. The government should have conducted its own robust due diligence prior to processing new projects, particularly in terms of engineering and safeguards.

Need for comprehensive due diligence in safeguards and technical aspects. The cost overrun had two major causes: (i) an insufficient safeguard assessment during appraisal, and (ii) an inaccurate cost estimate. A comprehensive safeguards impact assessment during appraisal could have avoided the later realignment. Detailed analysis of alternative alignments and their associated potential safeguards impacts, both of environmental and social, should have been conducted as well.
