Implementation arrangement

Using an existing project implementation unit (PIU), where possible, or establishing the PIU as far in advance is of great importance to project success.

The use of existing government units for project implementation has multiple benefits.

Having a pragmatic implementation arrangement and engaging the most appropriate executing and implementing agencies (EAs/IAs) are critical to project success.

n addition to well-delineated tasks, coordination among project consultants should be set out clearly as a priority in the implementation arrangements.

Formal mechanisms are necessary to ensure proper coordination among relevant government agencies in the design and implementation of donor-assisted reform programs.

Project activities supporting a corporate program of the executing and/or implementing agency (EA/IA) need to have their own implementing and monitoring mechanisms

Lack of familiarity by the executing or implementing agency (EA/IA) with ADB policies and procedures can lead to inefficient utilization of the project budget.

Appropriate choice of executing agency (EA) is crucial in generating support for the attainment of reforms.
