Lesson
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.
