Lesson
A project’s medium-term review (MTR provides an opportunity to reassess and modify a project’s DMF, in terms of realistic performance targets, configuration of components and/or outputs, subprojects’ selection, and timeframe of implementation. Project team could strive to review all project’s aspects during an MTR in addition to focusing on project administration and changes in scope.

Project Number: 42383-023
Project Name: Shanxi Small Cities and Towns Development Demonstration Sector Project

Lesson
The government’s commitment and ownership strengthen the project’s credibility. Providing timely response and adequate support from start-up to completion are critical in overcoming the implementation difficulties in various occasions. For instance, the PMO’s leadership could have helped ensurethat assistance was provided on time to implementing agencies. This, in turn, would help in easing delays in the procurement activities and implementation of subprojects.

Setting-up, collection, and reporting of baseline and performance indicators are essential to strengthen a project’s monitoring framework. Well-defined outputs and outcome indicators, targets, and baselines specific to project intervention areas improve project monitoring and results evaluation (e.g., reporting outcome or output indicators outside project areas hinders the attribution of results to the project).
