All such procedures are essential for translation of the NTP into worthwhile and fully supported investments on the ground. Appropriate engagement and communication with stakeholders is essential to ensure these processes are fully understood as well as the reasons for particular technical decisions. A stronger country safeguards system, including guidelines on obtaining land for transport projects, is essential.

The ongoing Transport Sector Development Project and its support to MID (Ministry of Infrastructure Development) provides a predictable medium-term source of financing through NTF (National Transport Fund).

Lesson
This is the first emergency assistance loan to be processed for the PRC under ADB's Disaster and Emergency Assistance Policy. The project comprised more than 363 subprojects in 23 counties in two provinces, including reconstructing and upgrading rural roads ranging in length from 3 km to 32 km and rebuilding 12 schools. The PMOs (project management offices) and implementing agencies had no experience in implementing ADB projects. Their relatively weak capacity in managing many subprojects resulted in implementation lagging during the first 2 years.
