Lesson
In turbulent times, projects must formulate comprehensive contingency plans for major emergencies such as (i) strengthening risk management with flexible plans to address unpredictability, (ii) developing adaptable resource plans, (iii) enhancing supply chain transparency to mitigate delays, (iv) improving remote team collaboration, and (v) leveraging digital technology to monitor projects during emergencies. This project was affected by the pandemic and required a loan extension until 30 June 2022, necessitating a corresponding extension of the implementation period.

Lesson
Adequate and timely consulting support is needed for the design and Implementation of a technical and vocational education and training (TVET) that will aupport secondary and adult skills education and employment services to ensure inclusive industrial transformation. This is especially when the government or the implementing agency lacks experience and capacity.

Lesson
Complex and large-scale investment programs demand more rigorous front-end analyses to identify appropriate implementation arrangements and timelines. Drawn-out government approval processes, lack of qualified and experienced consultants, and inadequate high-level support and guidance obstructed the implementation of this investment program. Being a complex and the first-generation bus rapid transit investment in Mongolia, the program required a longer implementation period.

Lesson
A holistic approach, which can lead to overambitious scope and targets, needs to be carefully weighed during the project design stage. This program and its numerous outputs adopted a holistic approach, which might now seem overly ambitious, particularly for the first urban transport undertaking in Ulaanbaatar. A phased approach could have been considered to focus resources on clearly identified priorities and to develop capacity.

ADB's project integrity review (PIR) enhances project management. The PIR conducted by ADB’s Office of Anticorruption and Integrity in 2016 identified gaps in the internal controls for procurement, disbursement, and asset management of the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC), one of the project executing agencies. A follow-up review in November 2017 reiterated a few recommendations which, after full implementation, helped improve JMRC's performance and project deliveries.

Lesson
More actions on transit-oriented development (TOD), last-mile connectivity, and improved station design are key to higher ridership. The project did not include TOD or last-mile connectivity in the scope. As a best practice, TOD is included in other ADB-financed metro projects in India to bring the benefits of integrated land use development and potentially higher demand. Ridership is also expected to grow when the supporting initiatives, such as improved feeder bus service and more convenient multimodal transfer facilities, are built and implemented.

Lesson
Transport demand modeling should be based on reasonable assumptions. The economic and financial viability of urban infrastructure projects is normally determined based on the results of a complex transport demand modeling. Under a proposed scenario, the model’s accuracy regarding the modal share depends greatly on the reasonableness of the adopted assumptions, such as the catchment area and willingness to pay. Overly optimistic assumptions lead to overestimation and may cause operational loss.

Lesson
Planning for rail projects should consider integrated systems and holistic planning to maximize benefits. The project delivered a section of rail infrastructure on one line but did not achieve the ridership target of the first year. The project’s contribution to Jaipur’s overall transport system can only be realized as the public transport network develops, servicing a broader area and providing attractive transport solutions for more people.
