Lesson
It is important to obtain accurate information during the design and appraisal stage to help facilitate growth forecasts of traffic volumes. Such information provides a solid groundwork to assess a transport project’s economic viability and efficiency and helps underpin its rationale, scope, and implementation timeframe. Greater consideration on the survey or collection of traffic data is crucial in enhancing the quality of project-level economic analysis

Lesson
The establishment of a project performance management system (PPMS), which was not covenanted in the grant agreement, could have provided a useful source of data on which to develop an economic analysis model; identify, quantify, and value economic benefits; and assess the efficiency of the project. Because of the emergency nature of the project, baseline data could be collected during project implementation to enable data comparison after project completion.

Lesson
Changes in scope and implementation arrangements are often needed to make projects responsive to changes in government and policy directions. The changes in the ruling party and restructuring of the government in 2012 and 2016 led to changes in the policy directions on higher education. To remain responsive and aligned with the government’s policy, minor changes were made to the project scope and implementation arrangements.

Lesson
Government changes can disrupt institutional continuity. The national election in 2012 resulted in a change in the ruling party and the subsequent appointment of new directors and staff in the implementing agency. Additional time had to be devoted to building capacity and awareness of the project. Several components under the project were canceled because of changes in government priorities.
