Lesson
The two project components—addressing port sector policy, institutional, and regulatory issues; and preparing the technical and economic feasibility study for the SHDP— were combined into one consultancy contract. Of the total 288 person-months, 12 person-months (less than 5%) were directly allocated for JCT business reorganization and corporatization. The bulk (225 person-months) was allocated for PPP and/or engineering works or what could also be considered as PPP transactional services.

Delays caused by lengthy land acquisition procedures. Land acquisition and resettlement is the object of complex and lengthy procedures, causing project implementation delays—although the nature and extent of the issues encountered are not described in any detail. The lesson learned is the need during project preparation to ensure the full commitment of the government and the executing agency to implement the resettlement plan.

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
The executing agency and the national project implementation team need to have adequate capacity to undertake the varied roles required in a broad project like this. Such roles as procurement, management of civil works contracts, record keeping, monitoring, and evaluation are just some of the necessary attributes required of a project management team. If the capacity is not present at inception, then part of the initial implementation process should include provision for on-the-job training and capacity building.

If a large number of reforms is attempted (especially on government policy), then there must be strong stakeholder engagement and ongoing commitment from the government through its executing agency at every step of the implementation. This project was helped by pre-project stakeholder engagement and continuous government consultation and commitment.

The recruitment of consultants took longer than expected. Again, the PCR did not indicate the reason for the delays although the complexity of the consultancy contract may have been partly responsible. Under the project, implementation consultants were to be hired under a single contract yet this was divided into two packages—one to be financed by AFD and the other by ADB. This is an unusual arrangement and assistance from ADB and AFD during the recruitment process may have helped facilitate and expedite the recruitment process.

The need for ADB to be proactive and to keep an open dialogue with the government to minimize any delay in loan effectiveness. The PCR did not identify the reason for the long delay, nor did it mention any attempt by ADB to resolve any difficulty that was causing the delay. The Lao PDR is not a new borrower from ADB and is, therefore, generally familiar with the requirements of loan effectiveness, hence, potential problem caused by new procedure or policies of the government should have been identified during project preparation and measures to mitigate these should have been included.
