Lesson
An adequate assessment of institutional implementation capacity during project preparation enables identification of suitable expertise and skills set needed to facilitate project implementation. In country context where there is weak implementation capacity, complex designs with multiple components require experienced experts to enable better quality of project implementation. For example, in selecting the consultant-specialists, rigorous vetting and screening process helps in ensuring that the selected consultant is the most qualified expert for the required technical expertise.

Technical support in the preparation of bidding documents and evaluation of bids is critical to streamline the implementation of these investments and make necessary and timely adjustments. ADB can provide technical capacity support to executing agencies with no previous experience in new specialized technology during project design.

Lesson
Project implementation often faces multiple risks. Identifying and implementing risk mitigation measures and providing adequate early-stage support are crucial in minimizing initial delays and addressing emerging project needs. Adequate due diligence at appraisal should emphasize strong assessment of borrower's and executing agency's capacity across institutional, financial, and operational aspects.

Project Name: Energy Efficiency Program

Lesson
Targets need to be specific and evidence-based and indicators well-defined and measurable to enable a reliable assessment of implementation progress and project accomplishments and performance at completion. This project suffered from weaknesses in indicators and the results chain. Examples were inadequate links between intended outputs and outcome, lack of specific targets (output 1 and outcome), and poorly defined target (output 3). One impact target was misplaced (project staffing) and another was deemed unachievable (number of WUCSs confirming receipt of water services).

A project specific DMF is key to reliably assessing the implementation progress and overall performance of each tranche project. The DMF for this project contained indicators that pertained to investments under other tranches of the multitranche financing facility (MFF). This made monitoring and evaluation of project progress and performance difficult, with results that hid the real picture and so prevented corrective measures from being undertaken during implementation.

Project Name: Sustainable Urban Transport Investment Program - Tranche 1

Lesson
Weaknesses in the design and monitoring framework (DMF) can lead to an inaccurate assessment of project achievements. The project DMF contained indicators that measured benefits that were not entirely attributable to the project, such as the number of tourist nights in Georgia rather than in the Batumi area. Some dimensions of the project’s outcome were omitted, such as the increased protection of coastal infrastructure assets. The reduction of storm-related damage should have been considered as part of project’s outcome performance indicators.

Project Name: Sustainable Urban Transport Investment Program - Tranche 4
Report Date:
Lesson
The design and monitoring framework (DMF) should be reviewed and updated as necessary during implementation to ensure continued alignment with other aspects of the program. The outcome and output indicators in the program DMF had been developed at appraisal for achievement over a relatively short period of 24 months. However, when program implementation was extended by 23 months to November 2019, an opportunity was missed to update the targeted dates for the indicators, which were measured about 1 year after the extended program completion date.
