Lesson
A review mechanism, which can recognize significant changes in the scope and address them through an update in the design and monitoring framework (DMF), can improve the performance evaluation. Some project indicators were changed based on “reassessments” undertaken. The changes in two output indicators were considered as minor change in scope and the DMF was not revised.

Lesson
The impact of the cross-border facility (CBF) in the project completion report. Data on traffic and trade flows in and out of Cambodia can provide a before and after assessment. This helps in determining the impact and benefits of improving a CBF.

Lesson
An effective and operational project performance monitoring system can help ensure that the data needed to assess the project is available. Although the extended harbor was only partially operational, actual data on the usage of the ferry terminal can be useful to assess the project’s success.

Lesson
It is a good practice to provide relevant macroeconomic data to highlight the significance of environmental improvements. In the case of this project, the generation of secondary macroeconomic data, at the very least, could have strengthened the preliminary assessment of the project’s development impact. In discussing impacts of climate mitigation project and the co-benefits of air pollution reduction, it would be worthwhile to link these up with macro data.

Lesson
A well-designed project performance management system greatly facilitates the identification, quantification, and valuation of economic benefits, and help in evaluating the extent of the project’s effectiveness.

Lesson
Designing a project with an intention to conduct an impact evaluation can lead to a more conscious effort to design and establish a robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system where data can be available for such impact assessment. Additionally, having gender targets can help influence the M&E design to be gender inclusive.

Lesson
A project performance management system (PPMS), which was not included in the project design, could have been beneficial for identifying, quantifying, and valuing economic benefits, and help in evaluating the extent of the project’s effectiveness and sustainability

Project Number: 38254-053
Project Name: North Karnataka Urban Sector Investment Program (Tranche 3)
Report Date:
Lesson
A design and monitoring framework, underpinned by a well though-out and robust theory of change, can help better articulate the output and outcome statements and formulate appropriate performance indicators for measuring results.

Lesson
The assessment of benefits from new or renovated irrigation systems cannot be meaningfully compiled without detailed farm budgets (cropping patterns, yields, production costs, farm-gate prices).

Project Number: 45354-002
Project Name: Building Climate Resilience in the Pyanj River Basin
Report Date:
Lesson
A well-designed and functioning project performance monitoring system (PPMS) is critical for the monitoring of project performance and collecting data for economic analyses (among other information). Given the data issues persistent in the Pacific e.g., availability and quality of data, careful thought on designing a comprehensive but implementable i.e., “fit for purpose” PPMS is imperative upon project teams. This can enable better data collection, which can facilitate better post-evaluation.

Project Name: Omnibus Infrastructure Development

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.

Lesson
Outcome performance indicators need to be designed deliberately to establish a reasonable cause–effect relationship between outputs and outcome. It is important that the outcome performance indicators are directly influenced by and attributable to the project, reflecting the immediate and direct benefits of application of the project outputs.

Lesson
It is important to obtain accurate information during the design and appraisal stage to help facilitate growth forecasts of traffic volumes. Such information provides a solid groundwork to assess a transport project’s economic viability and efficiency and helps underpin its rationale, scope, and implementation timeframe. Greater consideration on the survey or collection of traffic data is crucial in enhancing the quality of project-level economic analysis

Lesson
Better estimation of generated traffic based on "with project” and “without project” traffic forecasts help avoid overestimation of vehicle operating cost savings and, hence, overestimation of economic internal rate of returns.

Lesson
The absence of a project performance monitoring system (PPMS) often leads to inadequate data on project cost and benefits and development impacts, which are critical to project evaluations. At appraisal, establishment of a PPMS was not part of thisproject.
