Lesson
ADB had gained experience in Pakistan’s municipal services sector and these were recorded in past PCRs and country assistance program evaluations. Except for the successful Punjab Community Water Supply and Sanitation Project, available PCRs rated ADB’s interventions less than successful, including the recent experience with the Megacity Development Project in the Sindh province (footnote 28). Lessons from these experiences could have been applied to the design of this MFF.

The ratings then revert to 'satisfactory', before the project is again rated 'at risk' and 'potential problem' in December 2009.
