An appropriate Implementation arrangement is key to delivering a successful project. The project could have had greater impact if it had the Nanning Education Bureau as implementing agency (IA). Project deliverables could have been more institutionalized and led to the deepening of the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) reform in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The Nanning Development and Reform Commission played an overall coordination role but lacked direct supervision authority over the two TVET schools.

Lesson
Proper location of the project management unit is crucial to smooth implementation. Daily coordination and supervision were initially undertaken across two distant sites: the construction implementation unit (UIP) in East Kalimantan and the project implementation consultant in West Kalimantan. This caused coordination difficulties on implementation issues arising from the field. In 2016, UIP West Kalimantan was made in charge of project management. This improved project management and coordination, making implementation smoother for the rest of the project duration.

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.
