Lesson
Community mobilization should be conducted prior to water user and sanitation committee (WUSC) formation so beneficiaries will be fully aware and their participation effective. While nongovernment organizations (NGOs) were effective in community mobilization and raising awareness, their technical capacity was comparatively weak. Therefore, project formulation should include capacity assessment of all stakeholders.

Lesson
Project implementation, monitoring, and supervision were logistically difficult and costly due to scattered subproject sites (both districts and village). Clustering the project area based on geographic contiguity and similarity should be considered when selecting project sites in order to improve the efficiency of implementation, monitoring, and supervision.

Lesson
The preparation of sound project feasibility studies requires a wide range of specific skills (e.g., in market and financial analysis) that need to be developed within the cadre of extension workers, project implementing units (PIUs), and nongovernment organization (NGO) staff. Extension workers should not only have a technical background in fisheries, but must also have business management skills. A well-prepared project feasibility study increases the likelihood of success of a livelihood project.

Lesson
The project has highlighted the need to provide ongoing operation and maintenance (O&M) capacity building support and to monitor actual O&M implementation after loan closure. Future projects should incorporate provision for executing agencies to establish O&M technical support teams conducting biannual infrastructure O&M inspections and providing ongoing training to LGUs on O&M practices after project completion.

Lesson
Slow funds liquidation results in inadequate funds availability, slowing implementation. Future projects should ensure that seamless, efficient, and simple funds disbursement processes are established that satisfy appropriate procurement and financial audit requirements. Future projects should consider (i) direct payment of contractors by ADB; (ii) making imprest account levels appropriate to the funds flows anticipated; and (iii) simplified disbursement procedures and documentation requirements, preferably through the executing agency.

Placing support teams, including consultants, in the regions and zonal project offices is critical to providing LGUs guidance and technical assistance when and where needed. Careful consideration is required regarding the relative mix between executing agency personnel and consultants to ensure the executing agencies are adequately resourced with the appropriate technical skills so as to retain project experience within the agency after a project is completed.

The project demonstrated that successful local government unit (LGU)-led, demand-driven, decentralized implementation is a viable delivery mechanism for the planning, development, and management of rural infrastructure. Examination of the reasons for the delayed start yield valuable lessons for future projects.
