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.

The success of the women's rural development societies (WRDSs) involved in components B and H, and earlier in the North East Community Restoration and Development Project (NECORD) and NECCDEP (North East Coastal Community Development Project) projects, demonstrated that community-based organizations contribute to a sustainable mechanism for improving economic activities at the local community level while concurrently achieving aspects of the gender action plan by empowering women through increased income, confidence, and quality of life.

For components B, E, and H, substantial time was required to mobilize community- based organizations and implementing-partner nongovernment organizations (NGOs) to reach hundreds of villages to be served under major disaster reconstruction programs.

Reestablishing the identity papers and legal documentation of disaster victims is an essential and urgent necessity, and ADB's support to the government's program improved its delivery and effectiveness by ensuring sufficient funds. As highlighted in the performance audit, the mobile clinics facilitated legal documentation and proved to be an efficient mechanism for emergency situations. This can be adopted as a good practice for future interventions.

Lesson
Entities intended to manage operation and maintenance (O&M) for infrastructure should be established early in the project cycle, and staff trained throughout the implementation period, rather than at the very end. For operational sustainability, a long-term O&M contract could be incorporated into the construction contract for institutions having weak capacity and staff strength.
