The absence of detailed cost estimates and procurement plan that clearly allocate funds for external monitoring led to delays in recruiting external environment monitoring agencies, reduced the scope of external monitoring, and caused delays in the submission of environment monitoring reports for some subprojects. The lesson from this can be considered in similar future projects.

Given the importance of the project to women (based on the household survey and focus group discussions during appraisal stage), more attention is needed to identify an appropriate gender mainstreaming category. Without this, the project may lack interventions that could directly improve women's access to and in managing basic urban infrastructure.

Delays in recruiting consultants resulted in delays of subsequent activities (detailed design, resettlement planning, environmental management planning, and preparing bidding documents). Despite the start-up delays, the project achieved the targeted outputs, demonstrating that the executing agencies at the provincial level have the capacity for project implementation and the decentralized approach to project preparation and implementation is appropriate.

Executing agencies' recruitment of consultants remains time-consuming and was the main reason for start-up delays. This problem is not specific to the project but is common in all ADB-financed projects in Viet Nam. Delays in recruiting consultants result in delay of such project activities as detailed design, resettlement planning, environmental management planning, and preparing bidding documents.

Clear cost-recovery mechanism. National regulations on water and wastewater tariffs formulated and promulgated with ADB TA (technical assistance) require full cost recovery; all towns and cities nationwide must implement the regulations. Some project cities and counties have not yet reached full cost recovery, but they are making progress in a phased manner. Effective and sustained policy dialogue on cost recovery and tariff reforms is essential, and must be undertaken first nationally, to support and facilitate tariff reform in towns and cities.

Project coordination. The large scale and scope made project design and implementation challenging. Implementation succeeded because key stakeholders were involved in achieving the project goals, from the design stage through implementation. ADB missions served as catalysts to develop strong coordination and commitment between the two provinces and among the project counties and cities. Finally, the very good cooperation between agencies - and especially between provincial development reform commissions and finance bureaus - was essential for this type of project.
