Lesson
Continuity and stability in project officers are essential elements for successful implementation, especially during the early implementation phases. Delegation of implementation responsibility to the resident mission at an early stage of the project cycle is also good practice, provided locally recruited staff have sufficient familiarity with ADB operational and procurement procedures.

Lesson
Addressing adequately the social and environmental impact of hydropower development projects during preparation and making sure the local communities affected by the development participate in the benefits of the investment is an important lesson to ensure longer term project sustainability. To achieve this goal, funding needs to be committed before loan approval to ensure that such issues will be addressed during implementation, and independent monitoring mechanisms put in place to measure the impact on local communities.

Strong project ownership is essential for successful implementation. In evaluating project ownership, attention must be given during appraisal not only to investment planning priorities but also to whether counterpart funding has been committed, key staff are in place, coordination mechanisms across and within different government levels are working effectively, and an institutional capacity exists to address social and environmental issues affecting the project’s long-term sustainability.

Any conduit institution for a credit facility needs to undergo a thorough due diligence in terms of its lending policies and procedures, and that key players (i.e., NDB and NDTF) must be required to participate in stakeholder consultations so that a credit facility can be designed realistically based on market demand and actual experiences of lending agencies.

Regular monitoring, reappraisal, and redesign are often critical for project success and need to be built meaningfully into ADB’s project management processes. This project would have been considerably more successful if ADB had monitored and supported it more intensely.

Project-specific benefit monitoring data need to be available to ensure project effectiveness through the evaluation of project performance. Total reliance on secondary data is not adequate.

Lesson
Project monitoring should be close enough to identify if key project design assumptions are being put at risk (such as when the LGRDD, through the PCO, became the executing agency of the project), and if consequent shifts in project direction are likely (such as when PCO management was taken over by staff members deputed from the Housing, Urban Development and Public Health Engineering Department and focus was shifted toward infrastructure investments), and to avoid the shift in direction unless all parties agree to it.
