The supporting technical assistance was assessed successful but was let down by the lack of institutional ownership, which can often be the case. For ADB’s future projects, it is important to focus more attention on the design and implementation of such assistance by closely following the consultants’ outputs and ensuring that the government is fully aware of their results

Lesson
A close coordination and efficient communication mechanism among agencies and project units that are part of the implementing structure is crucial for the timely identification of issues and resolutions. Adjustments in the detailed designs usually happen since issues or new findings arise at the actual sites. To resolve them on time, these issues need to be discussed by all agencies and units involved in the project. For instance, the introduction of the separation wall under this project was a new concept and could have been relayed to all relevant agencies and units in a timely manner.

The significant reduction in the amount of the ADB loan and the program cost with the withdrawal of Goa from tranche 1 and Maharashtra from tranche 2 is reflective of the quality of the work undertaken during the feasibility study stage. Better due diligence and a more rigorous review of the proposals are needed in future multitranche financing facility programs and projects so that similar major changes will not occur at such a late stage in program preparation.

Lesson
The selection of a single year as the baseline against which to measure the reduction in losses due to severe climate events is problematic. Since such events vary considerably from year to year, selecting a single year as the baseline can lead to distorted results. An alternative approach is to take the average of several years as the baseline. Another more meaningful alternative is to compare losses in areas protected by project works with similar neighboring areas without such works.
