Lesson
Related to the size, complexity, and length of the project phases and the need to ascertain if these were effective in the project area: the project results support the effectiveness of long-term investment in one area as a multisector support through infrastructure. However, there was limited evidence in the completion report regarding the project’s effect on poverty levels and the rate of improvement compared to other areas.

Maintaining the capacity built through similar projects or establishing knowledge transfer could extend the sustainability of project activities and increase the likelihood of achieving expected impacts. The long-term usefulness of the capacity that was built must be further considered. Closer linkage between the participants in TA trainings and the infrastructure activities could have encouraged participants to apply their newly built capacity within the project.

Changes in scope and subsequent revision of the DMF with board approval are critical in ensuring that the project’s intended outcome can be achieved. Adjusting the DMF and its indicators should be made as soon as the need becomes apparent, ideally during the early stage of implementation or at the mid-term review. In particular, a mid-term review provides an opportune time to conduct an in-depth assessment of whether a project is likely to achieve its outcome and outputs, and whether the output and outcome targets remain pertinent for the project context and development objective.

A strong and clear DMF is crucial for tracking project results. It is only possible to measure progress if the DMF has strong and clear performance indicators and targets which include definitions and baselines. During the design stage, these components need to be clearly defined to strengthen project readiness. At completion, the clear indicators and targets will provide an appropriate measurement of results that can reflect the actual achievements at completion.

Ensuring that an acceptable cost-sharing arrangement is in place at the outset, prior to project launch, can help minimize project risks. The rural infrastructure component comprising 80% of total actual project cost was not achieved largely as the LGUs were unable to raise the required counterpart contributions. Moreover, it is essential that appropriate due diligence and risk assessment are undertaken and that risk mitigation measures concerning the financial capability of participating local governments are identified at the outset.

Project implementation highlights the importance of increased accountability and ownership by all stakeholders in achieving the project’s intended outcome. This, along with a well-designed capacity building intervention for implementing agencies, would help facilitate timely implementation and achievement of project results. Complex projects with many components and a wide geographical coverage require a high level of government commitment and ownership.
