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.

Adequate risk assessment and mitigation measures are important to help ensure project readiness. Consultations with project beneficiaries and affected persons and conducting social impact assessments during appraisal help strengthen project design and implementation (e.g., identification of safeguards-compliant project sites, beneficiaries’ participation, land acquisition requirements, design of relatedredressed mechanisms, among other things). These facilitate in identifying candidate subproject locations so that unnecessary location changes that cause delays can be avoided.

When implementation arrangements are revised, it is vital to streamline the approval processes to facilitate subsequent project activities. After the Government of Australia's withdrawal of funding, the delay in the approval of the changes to the implementation arrangement also significantly delayed the recruitment of implementation consultants and in designing the water supply systems. This situation could have been avoided if timely approval of such change was prioritized, which could have allowed the civil works for designing water supply systems to commence on time

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.
