Lesson
Project monitoring should be close enough to identify if key project design assumptions are being put at risk (such as when the LGRDD, through the PCO, became the executing agency of the project), and if consequent shifts in project direction are likely (such as when PCO management was taken over by staff members deputed from the Housing, Urban Development and Public Health Engineering Department and focus was shifted toward infrastructure investments), and to avoid the shift in direction unless all parties agree to it.

Previous project and/or sector experience in Pakistan was not internalized and reflected in the design—the risk of underestimating capacity constraints could have been mitigated with a risk management strategy;

Lesson
Closer attention to the linkages (or the theory of change) between the provision of infrastructure and the resulting changes in social behavior and development outcomes may have been a more useful basis for project M&E, i.e., what were the behavior changes and could they be observed in project and non-project towns? This lesson applies more broadly to infrastructure projects that identify high level social outcomes and explicit behavior change for their longer-term success.

Lesson
An additional lesson is that if the executing agency’s limited relevant experience of project design and implementation is known at the outset at the project design stage (i.e., as confirmed in the risk assessment), it is necessary to design appropriate mitigation strategies. These could include the following: (i) design smaller pilot projects to gain experience before larger projects are tackled; or (ii) make significant consultant support available in the early stages of implementation to strengthen capacity and ensure timely implementation.

Due diligence should be exercised not only in terms of technical factors but institutional, social, financial, and even political factors. While most if not all projects have excellent and even noble intentions and objectives and are extremely relevant to existing problems in the countries they are proposed for, these projects have to be realistic and must be designed considering the inherent problems and issues pertaining to the sector, country, or areas where they will be implemented.
