Lesson
The political economy of the country as well as of the local areas where projects are to be sited needs to be thoroughly understood and considered in the design of projects. The project assumptions that institutional and financial reforms would be adopted within a reasonable time frame and that demand for the improved water supply services could be established in Kosrae state proved false. Project preparation could have supported a more thorough understanding of the political economy, and the scope based on a stronger rationale and expressed demand.

Lesson
More effective utilization of consultants helps improve project implementation. As the international consultants are selected based on the experience and expertise in engineering and project management, they are required to remain in close proximity to the project site and assist in the development and monitoring of project and subproject programs. They have the capacity for assuming a stronger advisory role for a project to be successful.
