A better understanding of the institutional capacity and security risks in fragile and conflict-affected countries is essential to ensure project preparedness. Major changes in scope and implementation delays, including possible cancellations, are expected. Project processing can take more time as a result of unanticipated security concerns in post-conflict situations, frequent changes of government counterparts, and a lack of response from executing agencies. Building capacities and strengthening institutions is essential.

Lesson
There is a need for a better computation of costs at appraisal along with the inclusion of realistic contingencies, especially in areas with high security risks. Accurate cost estimates, particularly at appraisal, help minimize adjustments and revisions during implementation. ADB needs to undertake better duediligence of the project cost estimates at appraisal and a more realistic assessment of existing public procurement regulations. The possible inclusion of add-on security risk costs helps minimize cost overruns and poor project results.
