Lesson
The use of build-back-better technologies with climate resiliency determined at project design such as sheet piling increase the service life of the infrastructure, even if this increases the project costs. Prior to implementation, the subproject’s economic analysis needs to explore and evaluate alternative technologies under a build-back-better objective.

Lesson
It is important to properly sequence the implementation of technical assistance so it could provide its inputs to the project in a timely manner. According to the project completion report, the delay in the development of the National Transport Plan supported by the project preparatory TA affected project implementation as projects sites were required to be included in the plan prior to implementation.

Lesson
Adequate technical assessment during appraisal is important to ensure output targets are completely identified and properly designed. Because of inadequate technical assessment of the road surface conditions and the lack of a comprehensive road safety audit, this project's output targets were limited.

Project Name: Thimphu Road Improvement Project

Lesson
Robust project baseline data is needed to adequately assess complex projects with significant potential environmental and social impacts. In this project, baseline data on noise, vibration, vulnerable affected people, and river ecology were collected in accordance with contracts, applicable laws, regulations, and policies. This proved insufficient and led to questionable results particularly with the regard to the impact of vibration in several project-affected buildings. For future projects, more detailed studies and additional assessments need to be carried out.

Lesson
Agreed. A large turn-out from all the Pacific DMCs at the workshop, including finance ministries, maritime and aviation authorities fostered interest in the project and facilitated knowledge sharing and contributed to project outcomes. A high turnout at workshops with multi-sector representatives from many DMCs helps to foster knowledge sharing and develop awareness, adoption and uptake of TA project initiatives building institutional capacity and driving and guiding national or sector guidelines.

Basing investments on analytically substantiated need forms a firm foundation that can endure regime change. It is not stated in the TCR whether or not the outputs 1 and 2 were disseminated or made available elsewhere; however, these knowledge products could be very useful for the broader roads and highway sector usage within Sri Lanka.

Lesson
Agreed. Workshops and steering committees can help facilitate knowledge sharing and the development of informed policies and technical products, while also raising awareness and facilitating the uptake of the final product (in this case the Strategic Master Plan for Chittagong Port).

When formulating a CDTA project targeting government agencies, adequate consultation with the government should be carried out to ensure the designed activities and expected outputs will be well-aligned with the priority and/or preference of the targeted government agencies.

Project Number: 46370-002
Project Name: Improving Road Network Management and Safety
Report Date:
Lesson
Effective transport and logistics planning require a multi-stakeholder approach, particularly in a central hub and trade location such as Urumqi. Therefore, capacity building and knowledge sharing needed to bridge across multiple departments and agencies outside of UCTRC and Urumqi city that usually do not work together or share plans and data. The use of participatory, multi-stakeholder workshops and training sessions enabled the consultants to gain stakeholder feedback and understand the priorities from government departments outside of UCTRC.

Lesson
Road safety agenda was not highly prioritized in DOH and understanding of road safety engineering was limited. To enhance efficiency of the developed training program, further strengthening of road safety engineering section and investment prioritization on road safety program are required. Road maintenance program also does not have high profile in DOH, and capacity of potential contractors is limited. Continuous training support is recommended under ADB financed projects, to ensure the sustainability of the TA results.
