Risk management framework is vital in mitigating the high-risk aspects of the project. These could be avoided by specifically monitoring those risks that remain high. This need to be articulated in the RRP so that the borrower reports back on these high-risk areas, and to satisfy the ADB concern that appropriate monitoring is occurring.

Lesson
Considering the large capacity development needs of the GOWB and other states in India in areas such as modernization of public financial management and information technology systems, future programs should consider longer-term support efforts in this area. Moreover, state-level reform programs of this same nature could consider a sector development program modality with a program loan component accompanied by a project loan, rather than an attached TA, as a suitable option.

Lesson
This program, like others that ADB has supported in India starting in the mid-1990s, came about as a result of a looming fiscal crisis. While most programs have helped states undertake urgent fiscal adjustment and reforms; this experience raises the question of whether more proactive processes can be adopted to help states make ongoing, incremental adjustments and reforms so as to avoid major crisis-driven response efforts.

The program grant enabled the Revenue Equalization Reserve Fund (RERF) drawdown to be reduced in 2014 and expedited reforms. Ongoing actions under the post-program partnership framework can be combined into a multi-year matrix linked to ongoing budget support. The program also highlighted the importance of partnership (with government and other development partners) through creation of a joint policy matrix.

Lesson
The grant pre-conditions were an incentive for the government to reform state owned enterprise (SOE) governance and operation and improve management of government revenue, expenditure, assets, and liabilities. An ongoing ADB technical assistance (TA) was timely in supporting SOE reforms that preceded and continued after grant release.

Lesson
Technical assistance is usually expected in order to assist the borrower and theexecuting agency to achieve the program’s policy requirements. On the other hand, having theleverage of a relatively large amount of grant or loan funding can often provide an incentive forgovernments to institute policy measures on a timely basis when they might otherwise bedelayed or avoided due to internal resistance or inertia.

Lesson
Even if funds were available, delays in the implementation of the CRRP were inevitable because existing government policies obstructed smooth implementation of the CRRP programs, projects, and activities (PPAs). Examples of such policies are procurement laws and land use policies. Some policies may have to be reviewed to meet post- disaster recovery related needs, and other mechanisms established to speed up post-disaster public procurement.

Project Name: Emergency Assistance for Relief and Recovery from Typhoon Yolanda
Report Date:
Lesson
Given that the government planned to withdraw the loan proceeds based on its financing needs to support CRRP implementation, and the lack of a definite schedule for disbursements, close coordination between ADB and the government was crucial. This ensured ADB's timely release of funds when needed.

Project Name: Emergency Assistance for Relief and Recovery from Typhoon Yolanda
Report Date:
Lesson
Processing of the emergency loan before the government finalized its Yolanda Recovery and Rehabilitation Plan (YRRP, called the Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan or CRRP in its final form) provided the government with the certainty of funding, and ensured the effectiveness of CRRP implementation. ADB worked with the government in the design and monitoring framework of the CRRP.
