Lesson
The PCR noted delays with the receipt of cash assistance for livelihood activities, death compensation, and housing assistance. Delays were due to the requirement for beneficiaries to provide official documents that took time to verify. In future disaster responses, procedures should be simplified and could perhaps be managed by civil society organizations, and bureaucracy should be minimized.

The main driver of the project was improving the quality of USE to enhance productivity and employability in Viet Nam’s growing economy. However, the revision of curriculum and instructional material preparation was not within the sphere of the project. Instead, the project assumed that curriculum revision and new instructional material will be introduced within the project time frame, but outside the project scope. ADB should have properly identified such a project risk and adequately reflected it in project risk

Lesson
The project aimed to help improve the employability of the young labor force in Viet Nam. It is important that the government ensures that its policy and investment in USE linked clearly with demand for skills in the job market and business development in the economy.

It is important to effectively manage the timing of investment in transmission capacity particularly on energy generation investments that are undertaken to meet electricity demands. This will involve a careful sequencing of activities and investments. This requires having a longer-term perspective on the energy needs or gaps in the project area to facilitate better timing and project sequencing.

Lesson
A multisector approach, backed by an implementation arrangement that addresses the logistical challenge of working in remote areas, is suitable for improving livelihoods in the protected areas. The project location within a protected area required a design that considered the links between communities, tourism, ecological values, park management objectives, and compliance with national and ADB safeguard requirements for protected areas.

Lesson
It is important to include relevant indicators to meaningfully assess the project’s results. At the outcome level, an indicator of transmission capacity in megavolt amperes and actual energy transmitted in megawatt- hours would have been more appropriate. The selection of indicators must consider results that are attributable directly to the project. At the impact level, indicators such as household access to electricity are also relevant to measure the project’s impact on development.

Lesson
It is important to take stock of and learn from other development partners’ experience and learnings in similar projects as they can share valuable lessons to inform project design. A failure to account for previous projects’ lessons can have significant costs in project effectiveness

Lesson
Transport projects typically involve a variety of risks in implementation and execution of activities. Formulating appropriate project design and risk assessment during preparatory phase is critical to minimize delays. This includes a systematic appraisal of the project’s technical scope and engineering design, costs and contingencies, safeguards, and financial and contractual risks. The institutional setup, internal review and approval process, and existing capacity and prior experience of the borrower and executing

The participation of relevant agencies, effective communication of their role, and broader consultations on possible implementation arrangements at project design ensure effective and efficient inter-agency coordination and project implementation. Under the project, instead of taking full responsibility as the IPIU, UPJN only deployed some staff to the IPIUs and was charging administrative fees for their role including remuneration of their staff that ADB had refused.

Lesson
Climate change risks need to be carefully considered in the design of rural infrastructure. There was inadequate integration of disaster and climate change risks into the design of subprojects in the highly vulnerable project provinces. This was highlighted by the collapse of a 450-meter section of the Trieu Dai–Trieu Do commune road (Quang Tri) during severe storms and flooding in 2011.

Lesson
Spreading a large number of subprojects in a wide geographical area can reduce implementation efficiency and negatively affect subproject documentation and approval. A set of selection criteria guided this sector project’s investment size of approximately $0.5 million–$4.0 million per subproject. This resulted in many small subprojects that were geographically dispersed and generally failed to complement other infrastructure and hence synergize development impacts in the provinces. This was more evident in Phase 1 than in Phase 2.
