Lesson
The government needs to do more to provide leaderahip and guidance to infrastructure projects in Kiribati. The Project Steering Commitee, renamed in 2016 as the National Infrastructure Development Steering Committee, was set up to guide several other infrastructure projects aside from this one. Therefore, it can provide only limited support to the ADB project. Achieving the intended impacts of a major project such as ADB's requires regular and proactive direction from senior government representatives through all phases of the project.

Lesson
A well-defined implementation arrangement, backed by strong leadership and commitment, and highly competent project staff are crucial to project success. The project’s implementation arrangement was well laid out and all relevant entities fulfilled their responsibilities throughout the project. A project management office (PMO) was set up while the project was still being conceptualized, engaging staff with a high degree of competence and professional knowledge. The PMO director stayed with the project from beginning to end, ensuring strong and efficient support and coordination.
