Lesson
The project’s main objective is to improve the quality, relevance, and equitable access to basic education in Uzbekistan by using ICT. However, the RRP and the PCR had limited discussions on this main objective, presumably because the project was being implemented alongside other projects in the education sector. Notwithstanding, achieving an enhanced access and higher quality of basic education was an essential accomplishment of the project that should have been highlighted.

Lesson
The project design should have focused primarily on components 1 and 2, and only those parts of components 3 and 4 that were doable, by taking into account the capacity of the executing agency in implementing these components. A more accurate assessment of its capacity should have been conducted at project preparation stage.

All of the contractors were local, with inadequate funding, expertise, and equipment, which contributed to implementation delays. With rapid road development in Pakistan, such problems may be worsening. To promote capacity development of local and private contractors, ADB needs to strengthen the capacity-building programs, especially in the area where local construction capacity is lacking.

Lesson
Project implementation encountered land acquisition and resettlement challenges. ADB amended the Loan Agreement, which allowed construction to start on the sections where land issues had been resolved. ADB needs to make the government well aware of ADB's safeguard policy and prepare a more feasible loan agreement under future projects.

Lesson
The global price for construction materials rose sharply during implementation. The delays in project implementation made this problem more serious. For some provincial roads under the project, retendering was conducted, but the low rate is unlikely to attract bidders. For future ADB-assisted projects, reasonable price contingencies should be included in the investment plan.

Lesson
The project experienced substantial delays due to security conditions, which led ADB to close the loan before completion of all the components. As a result, and because of weak government financing, the project experienced serious financial problems. ADB needs to pay more attention to local situation and assist in timely project completion. Only fully completing the project, the benefits anticipated can be revealed.

Lesson
The project comprises several components comprising national highways, provincial highways and rural roads, cross-border development, institutional development, and community development. These components were implemented by different government agencies with limited coordination. Combining all of these components into one project was difficult for both ADB and the government to manage. If a project is so comprehensive, a project management unit at the national level should be established to coordinate its implementation.

Baseline data are important. During conflicts, data change: infrastructure is destroyed and people are displaced. Monitoring surveys are difficult to conduct because of restricted access. The project management unit failed to expand the management information system to assess subproject impacts, the absence of which made postproject evaluation difficult.
