Lesson
For a sector such as ICT, with limited skills, expertise, and private sector involvement especially in a small country, project financing provides an opportunity for development banks, such as ADB, to leverage its development objectives. These include promoting private sector participation, improving public service delivery, and strengthening institutions. Infrastructure projects are only a means to achieve development outcomes and impacts. This is a principle that most infrastructure project designs could be based on.

Lesson
The DMF for the Infrastructure Project Development Facility (IPDF) was not adequate to assess IPDF’s performance as an institution, with targets that were limited to the number of PPP projects. It should have included measures on the level of private sector investment in infrastructure in general, and specifically on PPP projects, together with some regional comparisons.
