Lesson
Establishing a system for project performance and benefit monitoring, and ensuring its operation after post-project completion helps facilitate the systematic tracking of project results. Weak monitoring and reporting of implementation issues and the insufficient collection and analyses of project benefits and socioeconomic data would hamper project evaluation and lead to noncompliance with loan covenants. The project planned for a PPMS, and DMF indicators were to be collected at baseline and monitored annually. But in this project, the PPMS submitted only one annual report.

Lesson
Establishing the critical requirements for project readiness creates an enabling environment in facilitating the implementation of project activities. Without these requisites, project risks (e.g., institutional factors, procurement risk and delays, among other things) can be greater which could lead to cost and time overruns. A well-defined implementation arrangement at the onset between executing and contracting agencies would convey clear guidance on the respective functions and scope of operations required during various stages of implementation.

The incompatibility of undertaking project implementation and institutional restructuring at the same time. Staff movements to the newly created state-owned enterprises affected the implementation process. NAC had to recruit new supervisors for the civil works contracts due to the institutional changes, which required some period for the new staff to familiarize themselves with their new responsibilities in the PIU.

Lesson
Need for more frequent monitoring and coordination meetings with the executing agency by ADB in the early stages of project implementation to resolve issues before they worsen. Strict compliance with loan covenants pertaining to financial management systems, reporting, and project coordination meetings should have been the priority concern after loan effectiveness.

Lesson
The main lesson learned through implementation of the project was that working with and supporting existing government structures helps develop the capacity of the executing agency to implement externally funded projects, especially in procurement and contract management. It also ensures better ownership of the various works and continued sustainability. Most other development activities are implemented off-budget in Afghanistan.

The concept of regional cooperation in technically demanding sectors is sound. The project concept of developing the coordinated provision of technical services to small and poorly resourced states has been proven. The project has helped develop similar regional activities in Asia and Africa by demonstrating feasibility to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and other international organizations.
