Project Related 
48. 
Future planning and design.
The report and recommendation of the President listed 
major external assistance for PFM, including those from the European Union, France’s MOF, 
and the US Treasury. Coordination in providing the reform approach was not consistent, and 
staff had to learn how to deal with the different messages various specialists provided. 
Proposals for similar TA projects should allocate additional time for staff for relearning the 
approach of the new external assistance agency financing the project. 
49. 
The procurement of IT systems (hardware, software, and related communications 
equipment) requires the involvement of specialized staff. It is recommended to have a resident 
consultant to support the executing agency. 
50. 
Future monitoring.
The project had appropriate project monitoring, evaluation, and 
reporting procedures, which should be strengthened by having a more open discussion and 
exchange of opinions between ADB and the executing agency and/or borrower to significantly 
speedup delay resolutions. 
51. 
Further action or follow-up.
ADB should check the status of PFM reforms and 
Treasury operations on an annual basis.
52. 
Additional assistance.
While additional assistance is not required, it can be discussed 
with the government during the next country program strategy preparation.

Implementation and contract schedules should be prepared with due regard to the 
location of contractors and suppliers, travel requirements, and office accommodation and
