Lesson
For sector loan projects where several past related interventions and investments were provided, building on progress achieved from them and duly taking account of relevant recommendations can optimize project design and fasttrack project implementation towards efficient fund utilization and satisfactory delivery of project outputs. In the case of this project, its design capitalized on the capacity of the implementing agencies strengthened through previous ADB projects and the flexibility of a sector loan to incentivize them to perform and compete for securing the investment funds.

Providing a degree of flexibility in the scope and output targets during the preparation of emergency assistance projects could help in the attainment of project results. Often, greater emphasis is made to facilitate project formulation and get activities going on the ground as expeditiously as possible, usually within three months from the occurrence of a disaster. Under such circumstances, however, it is difficult to be precise as to what actually needs to be done.

Appropriate scoping of DNA is a critical element in planning a rehabilitation project. This could be enhanced through collaborative engagement of all key stakeholders during the conduct of reconnaissance and rapid assessment. For example, appropriate technical guidance in the preparation and conduct of DNA, taking into account the managerial and operational skills and institutional capacities of the concerned agencies, could promote a more streamlined implementation of project activities.

Preparatory studies of project design, which ensure technical feasibility during project preparatory phase, help reduce the effect of implementation delays that may arise due to changes in project scope or geographical conditions. As such, project master plans need to be properly supplemented by technical details to ensure suitable configuration of components. These need to cover the whole range of alternative technical options that are available.

Consistent collaboration among agencies and development partners could help streamline any necessary lengthy procedures to expedite the project operation, particularly for projects with multiple financiers. Coordinated project activities and mitigation measures facilitate improved performance and the achievement of expected project results. In addition, sustaining this collaboration with increased borrower’s support helps mobilize greater coordination to address project issues or potential risks, such as scope changes and project restructuring that could occur during implementation.

Ensuring sufficient capacity of the executing and implementing agencies to manage project procurement-related activities helps promote implementation efficiency. In particular, agencies with ample project experience in ADB procurement procedures (e.g., bids and awards) could potentially bring valuable skills and expertise to properly execute procurement tendering process. This also helps ensure that civil works and services are suitably procured and monitored, which, in turn, benefits the project in terms of timely implementation and cost efficiency.
