VDC (village development committee) clustering in the project area based on geographic contiguity and similarity should be considered when selecting project sites in remote areas. Doing so can improve staff mobility, service delivery, monitoring, and supervision.

An important aspect of CMDP II (Second Capital Market Development Program) was using a crisis as an opportunity to push reforms. This was reflected in CMDP II design that resulted in mutually reinforcing actions that simultaneously addressed the causes behind the crisis and expanded the financial sector to meet the needs of the real sector. In this regard, fundamental reasons for the crisis were the falsification of financial statements and the consequent exploitation of small investors. The accreditation system for auditors will help promote market information credibility.
