Lesson
Adequate project related preparatory work, planning and risk assessment are crucial to improving project readiness. These efforts include assessment of the technical and administrative capacity of the executing and implementing agencies. Under the project, any reorganization of the agency, if necessary, needs to be clearly arranged and completed prior to project start-up. This helps the agencies in addressing the implementation issues on time. Likewise, skills training of agencies involved in the implementation enhances the preparation and quality-at-entry of the project.
