Lesson
Without a comprehensive and robust design and monitoring framework (DMF) and without undertaking the necessary updates, the level of project achievements against targets cannot be ascertained. In this project, the scale and character of planned physical works in one scheme were substantially altered during implementation, but the impact of this change on project effectiveness cannot be properly captured by the indicators in the DMF. Similarly, without conducting baseline and impact assessments, the economic viability of project investments cannot be reliably established.

Lesson
A clear design and monitoring framework (DMF) allows procurement and implementation documentation to be linked to performance monitoring, and for all the monitoring requirement to be reflected in a comprehensive project administration manual. This was one facet of the project DMF that made it effective in tracking progress and facilitating timely and success project implementation.

Projections about the impact of road projects should be realistic and adequately consider the accessibility of the roads to be built to communities. The impact statement in the design and monitoring framework about increased access to markets, jobs, and social services in the 4 project provinces should have been restricted to the 10 districts along the project roads, as the project roads could not generate impacts in farther areas. Performance Indicators and targets should also consider data availability and baselines that proved to be limited in at least one of the project provinces.

The design and monitoring framework (DMF) requires careful consideration of inputs and a strong results chain to ensure that the project outcome targets are directly addressed by the project outputs and are not likely to be influenced by other factors. Last-mile connectivity solutions, improved signs around stations, and TOD measures could be considered as separate outputs in future metro projects. Gender aspects should be clearly stated in the DMF to highlight ADB’s value addition.

Clarity on implementation roles and responsibilities and consistent collection and monitoring of Gender-disaggregated data are key to the successful execution of the project Gender action plan (GAP). Gender trainings at inception stage provided clarity on the roles and responsibilities of consultants and implementing agency staff. The well-defined division of labor provided a strong kickstart to the implementation of the GAP. Integration of sex-disaggregated data collection into the system enabled reliable Monitoring and evaluation of GAP progress throughout the project.

Lesson
Project monitoring needs to continue until the preparation of the project completion report (PCR). From loan closure in August 2020 to project completion in February 2022, APDCL implemented the project using its own resources. A streamlined process for monitoring and reporting was not followed during this period. While there were no adverse incidents or complaints reported during this period, it would be in the best interest of the project, the borrowing governments, and ADB to continue keeping a close watch on the project and its operation until at least PCR preparation.

Lesson
In preparing the design and monitoring framework, careful consideration should be given to the relevance of the performance Indicators against the output and outcome targets. Greater cohesion between Indicators and targets will lead to a proper evaluation of project achievements. The effectiveness of the capacity building could have been identified through appropriate Indicators to allow closer monitoring and timely intervention by ADB

Design and monitoring frameworks (DMFs) need to have all the necessary Indicators as well as flexible timelines to effectively be used as planning, monitoring, and evaluation tools. Given the breadth of the program, the DMF should have included at least one indicator for each reform area to better monitor the outcome and long-term impact of key policy actions. Although three new outcome Indicators were included in subprogram 3, these mainly covered financial inclusion and nonperforming loans.

Lesson
Weaknesses in the initial design and monitoring framework (DMF) led to difficulties in measuring project achievements. The initial DMF for the facility had to be revised. Some outcome targets were not updated even though there were changes in the associated investments under the different tranches. The DMF included output Indicators for activities not directly financed under the MFF.

An effective data or document management system for the project is critical to ensure data availability and consistency even after the project has been completed. Through an attached technical assistance, the project provided capacity development workshops to the Meghalaya State Skill Development Society and relevant government agencies in data collection, data consistency, and quality assurance.

Lesson
Meticulous collection and reporting of sex-segregated quantitative data aided timely implementation and achievement of the targets in the Gender action plan (GAP). They were particularly helpful in tracking project Gender equality impacts and pointing to areas needing focused attention. As result, the GAP completed all its planned activities and achieved all its quantitative targets. In addition, the project also strengthened women’s self-help groups in the project areas and linked them with financial institutions.
