Lesson
A flexible approach to safeguard policies without strict adherence to established procedures or methods facilitate timely physical construction progress while ensuring the smooth implementation of resettlement plans. For instance, in the case of the construction of the elevated flyover from Jehangir Chowk to Rambagh, a sectional approach was proposed by ERA and approved by ADB. This approach allowed land acquisition to be carried out in a sequential basis within identified sections rather than requiring completion of all resettlement actions in advance of project commencement.

The DMF missed some essential data that were important in measuring project effectiveness. As this was a follow-up project, both executing agency and ADB should have had up-to-date data and information. To avoid such issues, ADB needs to make a rigorous assessment of the institutional arrangements, and database benchmarks in the case of long-term commitments and preparation of additional follow-on projects.

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.

Quality construction supervision has a price. All works contracts were supervised by consulting engineers who ensured detailed engineering designs were adopted, and contractors’ progress claims were legitimate, among others.

Flexible implementation arrangements helps in enhancing a project’s relevance and results. In some cases, project relevance may change during implementation due to lower demand or unexpected government policy that subsequently may require a change in project scope and targets. This provides an opportunity to modify or correct the project design to strengthen its intended outcome at appraisal. For instance, the project was aimed to improve the carbon market development and preparedness for carbon market participation.
