Lesson
Strong linkages between indicators across the different levels of the project result chain need to underpin project design and monitoring frameworks, The linkage between the project impact performance indicators of increased marine passengers and increased domestic and international freight volume was not a strong measure of success in this project; it should have been revised during project implementation.

Executing and implementing agencies need to find ways to sustain data collection and analysis throughout the project implementation phase to ensure high-quality M&E systems. Monitoring and evaluation was not completed before project closing because, at the critical late stage of implementation, the pandemic brought consultant services to a stop before they can be completed. Some baseline data were collected in 2015, but the function was not completed because of early implementation delays.

A monitoring and evaluation framework for regional and long-term impacts need to be established and applied to all regional projects related to corridor development. The project, a GMS highway expansion project, had regional impacts through international corridor development. Meanwhile, the project also had development impacts on local people through enhanced access to social and economic opportunities.

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.

Lesson
Attainment of project benefits not within the project scope but instead are dependent on external factors downgrades project performance evaluation. The design and monitoring indicators included household sewerage connections, which were not part of the subprojects’ scope but were provided by the respective urban local bodies (ULBs). This led to dependence on external factors in the accrual of project benefits, thus impacting the final evaluation.

Early identification of the need for minor changes in gender and other indicators and aligning them with the performance indicators in the design and monitoring framework (DMF) strengthen the relevance of the gender action plan and other pertinent project component.

Administration by a single team of future regional projects will enable better assessment of their regional impacts. The sector division in ADB headquarters delegated the administration of this project to respective resident missions after the midterm review in 2016. Country review missions were conducted separately after the delegation, causing discrepancies in loan financial management, safeguard compliance, and benefits and results monitoring. This led to difficulties in assessing the project's regional impacts.

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.

The design and monitoring framework (DMF) requires careful consideration of inputs and a strong results chain to ensure that the project outcome targets are directly addressed by the project outputs and are not likely to be influenced by other factors. Last-mile connectivity solutions, improved signs around stations, and TOD measures could be considered as separate outputs in future metro projects. Gender aspects should be clearly stated in the DMF to highlight ADB’s value addition.

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.

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.

Data collection on all Indicators in each tranche project should be ensured to facilitate a reliable assessment of the accomplishments and performance of each project and the entire MFF. The executing agency (EA) is required, as part of the government’s undertakings, to establish a project performance monitoring system to collect and measure baseline data on the performance Indicators in the design and monitoring framework (DMF) during implementation and to submit to ADB, as self-evaluation, the government’s completion report for the implemented projects.
