Lesson
Appropriate formulation of DMF facilitates accurate measurement of project performance and achievements. A clear alignment of data and logical framework on performance targets and indicators conforming to each subproject provides a correct measurement on project’s intended results and overall impact. All impact indicators were focused on Anning, but available data were for either Gansu province or Lanzhou, making it difficult to measure these indicators as required.

Lesson
The retention of implementing agency and staff until project completion enables timely and smooth implementation of project through continuous staff expertise support and institutional knowledge. If a change of implementing agency is necessary, transition needs to be during a non-critical project implementation period. In this project, the change in implementing agency happened during the critical period when land acquisition, resettlement negotiations, and relocations of underground oil pipeline.

Lesson
Rigorous assessments on the costs of project design and feasibility studies during project preparation can help avoid design inconsistencies and scope changes. A more careful assessment in identifying all project components (e.g., surveys and studies) and procurement costs (e.g., civil works and consultancy services), including appropriate cost contingencies, are crucial in ensuring that project expenditures are consistent with the financial plans, budget, and project activities.
