Lesson
Appropriate metrics need to be ensured for each level of the results chain. The output indicators measured outcomes or benefits rather than the physical interventions contracted. That impacted the measurement of output performance during implementation.

Project Number: 44240-013
Project Name: Urban Infrastructure Project
Report Date:
Lesson
Developing outcome and output indicators that are consistent with the project design allows appropriate assessment of project achievement against the defined targets. Well-formulated indicators support the accurate measurement of project achievements as defined in the design and monitoring framework. For example, the reduction in transport costs could be directly measured by lower transport fares and vehicle operating costs.

Lesson
Clear identification and selection of appropriate performance target indicators during the project design stage supports the achievement of a project’s intended outcome. Adequate technical assessment on outcome and output target indicators facilitates clear tracking and measure of project’s achievement at completion. Furthermore, the importance of target indicators and its consistency between outcome and output statements are essential to demonstrate the project results.

The impact of the cross-border facility (CBF) in the project completion report. Data on traffic and trade flows in and out of Cambodia can provide a before and after assessment. This helps in determining the impact and benefits of improving a CBF.

Lesson
Outcome performance indicators need to be designed deliberately to establish a reasonable cause–effect relationship between outputs and outcome. It is important that the outcome performance indicators are directly influenced by and attributable to the project, reflecting the immediate and direct benefits of application of the project outputs.

Lesson
A more nuanced iteration of the project design and monitoring framework (DMF) i.e., accurately differentiating outcome and output indicators, would be beneficial to facilitate better project results assessments. As observed by this validation, impact, outcome, and output statements in the DMF were vague and similar, and did not provide sufficient guidance to focus performance targets that would have provided better evidence for achieving the goals of the impact, outcome, and output statements.

Projections about the impact of road projects should be realistic and adequately consider the accessibility of the roads to be built to communities. The impact statement in the design and monitoring framework about increased access to markets, jobs, and social services in the 4 project provinces should have been restricted to the 10 districts along the project roads, as the project roads could not generate impacts in farther areas. Performance Indicators and targets should also consider data availability and baselines that proved to be limited in at least one of the project provinces.

Lesson
In designing an multitranche financing facility program, it is important to formulate tranche-specific design and monitoring frameworks that are logical and have sound links of outcome and outputs in line with the SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely) principle. These indicators need to work in concert to reflect the appropriateness and continuum of the results chain leading up to the high-level development impacts that are most relevant to the scope and focus of that specific tranche.

Lesson
Ensuring that Indicators are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART) is essential to tracking and measuring project results. One project target output was not realistic. The indicator used involves a complex bureaucratic process and requires allocation of revenue budget from the government, which was beyond the project’s scope and administrative boundary.

Lesson
The flexibility of EAL allows the design and monitoring framework (DMF) to be enhanced during implementation. This was not fully maximized in this project. Other than adding project outputs under the additional financing, outcome indicators remained to have attribution issues. Outcome indicators for improved transport infrastructures could have helped provide data to calculate EIRR at completion (para. 13). Quality review, including interdepartmental review at appraisal, can provide guidance in this regard.

Road projects can only be justified if a credible traffic forecast is prepared for the with-project and without-project scenarios. Project preparation should include robust traffic surveys and accurate traffic forecasts, based on the economic circumstances of the region in the project’s target area.

Lesson
Weaknesses in the initial design and monitoring framework (DMF) led to difficulties in measuring project achievements. The initial DMF for the facility had to be revised. Some outcome targets were not updated even though there were changes in the associated investments under the different tranches. The DMF included output Indicators for activities not directly financed under the MFF.
