Lesson
Procurement should be exhaustive. Developing a procurement strategy with proper analysis of market availability, operating environment, including capacity assessments of executing and implementing agencies, and risk management will help the project achieve its intended results in a timely manner. Where a project requires participation of government-owned universities or research centers, attention should be paid at project appraisal to para. 1.13 (c) of ADB’s Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013, as amended from time to time).

Lesson
Protracted bidding can compromise the implementation of projects. One of the major issues encountered by this project was the protracted bidding process undertaken by the executing agency (EA). The bidding process for the civil works and construction supervision contracts took more than 1 year to complete because of the EA’s unfamiliarity with the updated ADB guidelines. It added to an initial delay of more than 1 year because of changes in the road design, which required updating the design, feasibility study, and tender documents.

The TCR lesson is not phrased as a lesson. In finalizing this validation report, the NRM rephrased the lesson and provided additional information: Adequate consideration of Nepal’s political landscape in delivering or scaling up effective agricultural services and approaches in the future is critical. Nepal’s shift to federalism has devolved much of the agriculture sector work to subnational governments. The newly established provincial and local governments require extensive capacity building to deliver agriculture research and extension services.
