Lesson
The scope and amount of an MFF need to be realistically designed by avoiding an optimistic assumption that the absorptive and implementation capacity of the executing and implementing agencies would achieve a significant improvement during program implementation. Simpler project designs, with specific purposes and fewer agencies involved in a limited number of locations, are also more likely to succeed than those with a broad scope and overly ambitious and complex structures.
