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.

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.
