Lesson
The project was well designed. It adopted an effective implementation arrangement under which communities, facilitated by district-level public works services and assisted by village organizers, select and design the priority infrastructures. This promoted strong ownership among the participating communities and developed their capacities for planning and development.

The need for ADB to focus more on sectors in which it has substantial experience, from which it can draw from during the relatively fast pace of processing and implementing an emergency project. Also, given limited resources, sector selectivity is important to ensure a significant impact. Moreover, emergency project designs should likewise incorporate provisions for O&M of project facilities to ensure their sustainability.

The lessons drawn by the PCR are valuable to ADB. ADB needs to seriously consider the socioeconomic and political environments in designing projects. Implementing a project in an unstable environment is not likely to yield positive outcomes. Proper timing is important in introducing a project especially when it entails a paradigm shift (i.e., from supply-led to demand driven). The experience with this project highlighted the need for greater coordination with other donors in addressing the country’s strategic development needs.

It is essential that adequate compensation mechanisms are built into the project design and implemented. If this had been undertaken, it might have preempted the need for a protracted and expensive system for redressing grievances. Rapid compensation is highly desirable. If compensation is delayed, land values may increase and resettlers may no longer consider defined compensation rates to be adequate.

Program experience demonstrates that accompanying investment projects in a sector development program loan matter. ADB, in selecting the sector lending modality as a broad-based lending instrument, should give careful consideration to the choice of accompanying projects intrinsically linked with the sector performance in all its dimensions.
