I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. The main objective of the Gujarat Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Project was to reconstruct and restore damaged infrastructure in the earthquake-affected areas of Gujarat state, India. While a large area of the state was affected by the earthquake (intensity of 6.9 on the Richter scale) of 26 January 2001, the major loss of life, property and damage to infrastructure was centered in the five districts of Kutch, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Surendranagar and Patan. An important objective of the Project was to enable early restoration of economic and social activity, especially for the poor and lower income groups. The government of Gujarat, with support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), World Bank and others, jointly assessed the rehabilitation and reconstruction costs at $2.3 billion.

2. The Project focused on restoring public and economic infrastructure. The joint assessment report1 (JAR) estimated the Project’s cost as at $625 million. The main components were:

(i) Part A: Housing. Reconstruction focusing on rural areas. (ii) Part B: Urban and rural infrastructure. Urban and rural water supply, sewerage,

drainage, sanitation, and civic buildings, plus development of sites and services. (iii) Part C: Power. Substations, switchgear and transformers, transmission and

distribution systems, staff quarters and buildings. (iv) Part D: Livelihood rehabilitation. Financial and infrastructure support with training

of skilled affected persons to restore their livelihoods. (v) Part E: Consulting services and incremental administrative support. (vi) Part F: Multi-hazard disaster preparedness and mitigation. Supporting disaster

management plans, information systems and management training.

3. Technical assistance (TA) for Capacity Building for Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Housing 2 was provided to support implementation of the government of Gujarat’s reconstruction program for earthquake damaged housing.

II. EVALUATION OF DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

A. Relevance of Design and Formulation

4. The Project was an emergency project, and the rapid response enabled the loan to be approved within 2 months of the earthquake. The Project was quickly and jointly formulated with the government of Gujarat and other development institutions through an intensive 10-day field assessment conducted in the damaged areas, followed by 10 days of data assimilation and collation with the results summarized in the JAR. The government of Gujarat used the JAR to allocate various sectors to ADB, World Bank, bilateral donors, financial institutions and other donors. Housing, urban and rural infrastructure, and power were included in the ADB project. The World Bank financed agriculture, education, and transport, with bilateral donors focusing on health, capacity building, training and emergency preparedness. The Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA) was established by the state within a week of the disaster. Its mandate was to implement initial reconstruction and build the state’s capacity to manage future potential disasters effectively. 1 Joint Assessment Report by ADB, World Bank, USAID, and Government of Netherlands in 2001. 2 ADB. 2001. Capacity Building for Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Housing. Manila.(TA No.3644-

IND, for $1300,000, approved on 26 March 2001)..

5. The objectives and scope identified in the JAR and report and recommendation of the President (RRP)3 during project formulation were satisfactorily implemented. After substantially implementing the highest-priority earthquake-affected works in the first 3 years, the second-priority works were implemented during the project extension period. The second priority works became possible due to (i) cost savings realized through high competition among bidders, resulting in lower-than-estimated costs; and (ii) extensive use of international competitive bidding (ICB), which had the additional advantage of providing Indian suppliers with tax benefits.

6. Both the primary and secondary objectives were achieved within their respective adjusted cost estimates and within the time extensions. Implementing such a large-scale, complex project spread over a large area within the original specified period of 3 years was not possible, as several major towns had to be completely re-planned, with major relocation of residential areas involving complex legal and planning aspects, land swaps, land acquisition and totally new infrastructure.

7. There were two major changes in project scope. The first was a transfer by GSDMA of housing from the Project to the World Bank’s project, leaving only a modest budget for the rural housing component designated for the Project’s nongovernmental organization (NGO)–government of Gujarat partnership. The transfer was implemented because World Bank financing through International Development Association (IDA) was less costly (40-year term with 1% service charge) than the ADB ordinary capital resources (OCR)loan (32-year term, with interest rates varying from 1.1% to 5.6% during the project implementation period). The second change was addition of 14 additional state line agencies as implementing agencies (IAs), which was necessary to ensure ownership and decentralized implementation. The Roads and Buildings Department was added as an IA a year after the Project commenced to ensure that roads connecting state highways and villages were rehabilitated. Municipal corporations (Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Vadodara and Jamnagar) were also included because these were more efficient local entities for implementing small projects at distant locations in these cities. The Gujarat Energy Research Institute (GERI) was engaged for procurement of seismic equipment and establishment of seismic observatories. The four area development authorities (ADAs) of Kutch district (Bhuj, Anjar, Bhachau, and Rapar) and Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) had special projects and were also included as IAs. Gujarat Council of Science City was brought in to build the specialized planet earth pavilion. In addition the Irrigation Department did some emergency repairs that were retroactively financed.

8. The Project was consistent with ADB’s country operational strategy (COS) for India4. The overall strategic objective of the COS is to promote economic efficiency and higher sustainable growth to improve employment and reduce poverty. Consistent with India’s development needs and ADB’s strategic emphasis, the Project’s focus was on poverty reduction. The strategic priorities for ADB’s contribution to reduce poverty included creating conditions for accelerated and sustainable growth, expanding social opportunities for the poor, and developing comprehensive partnerships for state-level operations. A key feature of the COS is a shift in ADB activities to support comprehensive economic and structural reforms in selected states . Gujarat was the first state chosen for ADB’s state-level operations. The Project

was formulated to rehabilitate damaged infrastructure and housing and provide support for livelihood rehabilitation to enable people to rebuild and resume normal life by restoring basic services such as drinking water and electricity, and to foster economic opportunities. This focus was fundamental for resuming the socioeconomic development process in Gujarat, one of ADB’s focal states. The Project was therefore in line with ADB’s COS for India and was in accordance with ADB’s overarching objective of poverty reduction.

B. Project Outputs

9. Most project outputs were achieved with some adjustments in scope, components and coverage. The major deviations in project scope are summarized below. Detailed achievements of outputs are elaborated in Appendix 1.

10. Part A: Housing. Despite the major change in scope resulting from the transfer of owner-constructed housing from the Project to the World Bank, the rural housing reconstruction by the NGO–government of Gujarat partnership financed by ADB was implemented successfully, with 41,902 houses constructed, exceeding the original target of 37,150 houses. Table 1 shows the details of houses built under various categories.

2B In situ rehabilitation with no Government share

148 11772

Total 286 41902

11. Most of the public–private partnership houses were built in situ with multi-hazard resistant technology after extensive consultation with beneficiaries. Over 29,600 masons and 6,500 engineers were trained in multi-hazard resistant housing construction and reconstruction. These houses are registered under the joint ownership of the husband and wife and have been insured. Compared to the pre-earthquake situation, the quality of construction has improved, houses are larger, and the proportion of houses with separate toilets has doubled (to 64%).

12. Part B: Urban and Rural Infrastructure. Gujarat Urban Development Company (GUDC) was entrusted with rebuilding urban infrastructure in 14 towns. The focus went beyond replacing lost capital stock and included the creation of holistically planned urban infrastructure in the towns. About 180 public consultations were held within 8 months to facilitate urban planning and relocation.

13. The four towns of Kutch that suffered major damage (Bhuj, Bhachau, Anjar and Rapar) were planned with a 20-year design horizon, so that the rebuilt towns would not be as vulnerable to future disaster risk. GUDC conducted 19 geotechnical and geological studies to determine the safety of in situ rebuilding. Development plans and town planning were completed at an accelerated pace in a consultative process with affected people. To ensure safety through building code compliance, the general development control regulations were amended to incorporate Indian Standard Codes for seismic and cyclone safety. The height of buildings in the four towns was restricted to two floors (ground floor plus one floor above). Congestion in the

4

towns was relieved through building of new housing areas and proper layouts with wider roads, while revised regulated development zoning addressed aesthetics and reduced future vulnerability by enabling more rapid emergency response. The four towns have been provided with a new upgraded water supply, internal roads, bypass roads, street lighting, public buildings and sewerage. The urban infrastructure in the 10 other towns that received less damage has been upgraded selectively, subject to need.

14. Significant economic growth has been realized in the reconstructed towns subsequent to the Project, and is a testimony to the Project’s successful implementation. In the 400-year-old town of Bhuj, which was badly damaged in the earthquake, in-situ town planning was carried out that led to large-scale modernization of civic infrastructure. It also resulted in the need to accommodate people affected by the earthquake in alternative rehabilitation sites, and GUDC consequently built three new relocation sites around Bhuj, where real estate values have appreciated significantly.5 Urban planning schemes and development plans were prepared to avoid haphazard development, and local ADAs were formed by the four major affected towns in the Kutch area to guide the planned development and redevelopment.

15. Rural infrastructure was composed primarily of water supply and roads. GWSSB was the IA for water supply distribution systems, GWIL for bulk water delivery systems and the Roads and Building Department for roads. After substantially implementing the highest-priority earthquake-affected water supply works in the first 3 years, the works with the next level of priority were implemented during the project extension period. Pipes damaged in the earthquake were replaced with corrosion-resistant metallic pipes with flexible joints. GWSSB & GWIL together implemented 60 contracts for 20 regional water supply schemes, which provided an improved water supply to 27 towns and 1867 villages. Within villages, distribution of water and operation and maintenance (O&M) of the system is being carried out in partnership with NGOs. These works helped provide a solution to the problem of drinking water in drought prone Kutch and adjoining districts. The final benefit monitoring and evaluation (BME) report6 states that close to 80% households now have access to piped water supply as against only 30% pre-earthquake. Restoration of water supply both in urban and rural areas was critical for ensuring health and hygiene in the earthquake affected areas. About 3,600 km of major district roads and village access roads in 12 districts were rehabilitated and upgraded by the Roads and Building Department.

16. Part C: Power. Restoration of the power supply was the most critical activity upon which all other relief and restoration measures depended. The earthquake disrupted the power supply to all nine towns and 925 villages in Kutch, with severe damage to transmission and distribution systems in Kutch and Rajkot. The Gujarat Electricity Board (GEB) acted quickly to restore partial power within 7 days of the earthquake to the affected areas. The short-term objective was to repair substations and provide temporary accommodation for operations staff. The medium- to longer-term objective was to replace redundant and damaged equipment, transmission lines and transformers to ensure reliable functioning of the power transmission and distribution systems and to improve system efficiency. Both the short- and long-term objectives have been met.

17. Part D: Livelihood Restoration. Cottage and village industries, a vital component of the economy, was affected through loss of assets, working capital and loss of demand due to the

Authority was Rs20,000–Rs35,000 in 2002. Their market value in June 2008 was Rs400,000–Rs600,000. 6 The benefit monitoring and evaluation study was done by consulting firm KPMG.

earthquake. The Project focused on creation of an enabling environment by providing one-time assistance. Utilization of various types of assistance was between 92% and 100%. These measures helped restore and increase employment and income levels (refer footnote No.6).

18. The women’s livelihood restoration program was highly successful. The Project focused on facilitating social and economic activities for the benefit and empowerment of women. Under the component 16,030 women were targeted as beneficiaries and 14,147 actually benefited in the five earthquake-affected districts. The self-employment scheme targeted 2,500 women, with assistance in the form of working capital through a revolving fund for entrepreneurship. Employment has increased from 54% soon after the earthquake to 93%; the incomes of 72% of respondents have reportedly increased (refer footnote No.6).

19. Part E: Consulting Services and Incremental Administrative Support. Eighteen consultancies were awarded to provide assistance to the various IAs for tasks such as town planning, capacity building, training, design and supervision, technical audit material inspection and quality assurance. Summary details are provided in Table 2. These consultancies resulted in the Project being well designed, supervised, monitored and implemented.

20. Part F: Multi-Hazard Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation. Seismic equipment was procured through GERI and installed at 40 seismological observatories in Gujarat that are linked to the Institute of Seismic Research at Gandhinagar, enabling 24-hour online monitoring of earthquake activity. A “Planet Earth” pavilion has been constructed in Science City, Ahmedabad to improve disaster awareness among the general public. This work was 67% complete by the loan closing date; the remainder of the financing was provided by government of Gujarat and the building is substantially complete and exhibits are being procured and installed. Sophisticated medical emergency equipment (cardioscope pulse oxymeter, transport ventilator and defibrillator) has been procured by GSDMA and is in use. GUDC has procured 116 ambulances and provided them to local urban bodies for use in emergencies. Some components that were initially to be procured under the Project were instead procured by other bilateral and/or World Bank-financed components that included grant financing.

C. Project Costs

21. At appraisal, the project cost was estimated at $625 million, comprising foreign exchange of $513 million equivalent and local currency cost of $112 million equivalent; the ADB loan amount was $500 million. After five partial loan cancellations the loan amount was reduced to $315.14 million.

22. With the exception of three contracts, all the components comprising 333 contract packages have been fully implemented. Table 3 below provides a summary (by agency) of all contracts. The non-contracted amount of $13.54 million was spent on incremental administration and front-end fees.

D. Disbursements

23. Implementing such a large-scale, complex project spread over a large area within the originally specified 3-year period may have been overly ambitious. Implementation time doubled (from 3 to 6 years), and disbursements were consequently also spread out over 6 years. Provision of an imprest account was very helpful, but procedural delays at various levels resulted in ADB reimbursements to GSDMA being delayed, instead of being made “immediately” as specified in the Loan Agreement. For claims less than $100,000 the statement of expenditures (SOE) procedure was used and regular audit and verifications of SOE were carried out.

24. GSDMA suggests that the loan amount at completion should be flexible, because in every loan the IAs retain their allocations as long as possible before surrendering them. The IAs rated ADB’s procurement processes as good, but consider the disbursement process less efficient than the World Bank’s procedures. ADB’s requirement that reimbursement funds should reach the Second Generation Imprest Account (SGIA) immediately was not achievable. GSDMA also suggests that the EA should be allowed to maintain the SGIA as an interest-bearing savings account rather than a non-interest-bearing current account. This would avoid a loss of interest to borrower, and reduce the loan burden by providing interest income that could be utilized for incremental administration expenditures.

E. Project Schedule

25. After substantially implementing the highest-priority earthquake-affected works in the first 3 years, the remainder of the works were approved by GSDMA and implemented during the subsequent 3-year project extension period. This was possible due to (i) high competition among bidders, resulting in lower-than-estimated costs; and (ii) extensive use of ICB, which had the additional advantage of tax benefits to Indian suppliers. GSDMA had multiple sources of project finance and logically maximized the use of grants and kept tight budgetary control. Initially only the highest-priority works and activities were approved. When it became clear that significant savings had accrued, the lower priority works were approved. Both primary and secondary objectives were achieved within the estimated cost, but with a 3-year time extension.

26. Implementation delays resulted from (i) the lengthy (9–14 month) period to award ICB contracts, due to the need for multiple approvals by the IAs, GSDMA and ADB; (ii) cancellation of some contracts due to poor quality works or the slow pace of construction, necessitating re-tendering; (iii) provision of fraudulent bank guarantees by contractors led to contract cancellations and re-tendering, involving one GEB and three GWSSB contracts ; (iv) major steel price escalations following the award of a major ICB contract for mild steel pipe resulted in the contract not being completed, and the performance guarantee of the supplier being cashed, while three civil works contracts awarded in anticipation of the pipe supply had to be cancelled. All four contracts were re-tendered, causing a 14-month delay; (v) statutory clearances and permissions took a long time to obtain (e.g., from forest department and military authorities for the Bhuj ring road; from railways, the Gas Authority of India Limited and National Highways Authority of India for pipe crossings; and approval of the Design Supervision Consultant (DSC) engineers and their building designs by Gandhidham Development Authority); (vi) disruptions in processes and decision making as a result of frequent changes in the senior officials at the IAs, especially GUDC; (vii) late receipt of funds into the account of GSDMA sometimes caused delays in making payments to contractors; (viii) easement arrangements took much longer than expected; and (ix) encroachment removals had to be sensitively handled, which was time consuming.

8

F. Implementation Arrangements

27. Implementation arrangements envisaged at appraisal were substantially followed. A program-level project management consultant (PMC) (responsible to the Government, the Project, the World Bank, and bilateral and NGO-supported projects) was hired by GSDMA in place of an in-house PMC specially for the Project. Fourteen IAs were added to the original five, which made project management and processing more complex for both GSDMA and ADB. Most of the IAs (with the exception of GUDC) had management of fairly long tenure, thus ensuring continuity.

28. ADB’s extended mission in Gujarat (EMG) commenced in June 2001 and utilized two ADB staff consultants who coordinated effectively between IAs, GSDMA and the India Resident Mission (INRM). The GSDMA CEO stated that “The EMG, Gandhinagar has been very useful and many issues could be sorted out at Gandhinagar. The presence of EMG has expedited procurements and also has been extremely helpful in monitoring of the project. The EMG has been acting as a very useful link between ADB, New Delhi, GSDMA and other implementing agencies” 7.

29. Implementation arrangements for the Project, including empowering of GSDMA by the government of Gujarat and fielding of the EMG by ADB, were highly successful.

G. Conditions and Covenants

30. Processing and Board Approval for the loan were undertaken quickly as per the enabling procedures under the 1989 ADB emergency loan policy.8 The project performance rating by ADB for the overall Project was satisfactory.

31. Submission of audited financial accounts and financial statements generally were within the specified time. Instead of the 5 working days specified in the loan agreement, internal approvals within GSDMA and/or the IAs sometimes took 15 to 30 days. The condition specifying submission of a report within 3 months of physical completion of each subproject by GSDMA on the execution and initial operation of the Project could not be complied with. GSDMA submitted regularly monthly and quarterly progress reports, but could not submit a report on each of the approximately 300 subprojects; the IAs were busy with implementation and could not complete the necessary paperwork. All required environmental clearances for sewage treatment plants and landfill sites were obtained, and all social and financial covenants have been complied with.

32. The covenant requiring immediate credit of disbursement proceeds into SGIA was not complied with. The many levels of approvals and attendant delays resulted in ADB disbursements taking 2–3 months to be credited to SGIA. The status of compliance with loan covenants is shown in Appendix 7

H. Related Technical Assistance

33. TA for Capacity Building for Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (refer footnote 2) had dual objectives: assisting GSDMA on a daily, hands-on basis throughout the rehabilitation process and building disaster management and training capacity within the state. The objectives of the TA were substantially achieved; further details are in Appendix 12.

I. Consultant Recruitment and Procurement

34. Goods, civil works, and services were procured in accordance with ADB’s Guidelines for Procurement and Guidelines on the Use of Consultants in force at the time of the Project. Because the Project was an emergency project, and to reduce procurement time, two GUDC DSCs and a GEB DSC were recruited by inviting proposals from firms already working on various ADB-financed projects in India. Preparation of the bid documents and bid evaluation reports plus long and multistage approvals needed within the IAs, GSDMA and ADB delayed the ICB contract awards.

35. The program-wide PMC was financed by the World Bank, and as a result 192 person-months of PMC inputs provided for at appraisal were not utilized. A total of 320 person-months of BME consultant inputs were envisaged at appraisal, while actual deployment was 150 person-months. At appraisal, 3600 person-months of consulting services using individual domestic consultants were envisaged to assist GSDMA for housing design and construction supervision for which National Council for Cement and Building Materials provided 1100 person months. This reduction was primarily due to the shifting of the owner-driven housing component from the ADB loan to the World Bank loan. For urban and rural infrastructure 426 and 389 person-months of DSC input, respectively, were estimated at appraisal. The actual number of consulting firms and person-months of deployment, especially for urban infrastructure, was far higher (1490 person-months), because preparation of mandatory town planning schemes and development plans required far more intensive effort than estimated. The nascent ADAs needed technical advisory cells to provide guidance regarding approvals and in the design of multi-hazard-resistant structures. A total of nine consulting firms were used for the urban infrastructure component. For rural infrastructure Mecon provided 924 person-months of inputs. Consulting Engineering Services provided 72 person-months of inputs to GEB as DSC for the power component, compared to the 24 person-months originally envisaged. This increase was due to the scope of consultant services being expanded to include skeletal supervision in addition to the design services envisaged at appraisal. All the domestic consultants started their services between 2001 and 2003. The consultants undertook urban planning, topographical surveys, site investigation, detail design, construction supervision, and material inspection. Some of the consulting services had to be extended because of delays in project implementation. Overall, the project required 4342 person-months of domestic services, compared to the 4951 person-months provided for at appraisal.

J. Performance of Consultants, Contractors, and Suppliers

36. The performance of all the domestic consultants, except Gherzi Eastern, was rated satisfactory. Although not all consultants initially fully understood ADB procedures, the domestic consultants supervised the works efficiently and their reports were of acceptable quality. Gherzi Eastern’s services were terminated by GUDC because the collapse of an overhead reservoir in Bhuj was partly attributed to improper design and to some extent to poor supervision.

37. The IAs, contractors, suppliers, and consultants maintained close coordination and good relations, which allowed the Project to be completed without any major disputes. However, four contracts (all for works) were terminated due to fraudulent bank guarantees (one for GEB civil works and 3 for GWSSB design and build civil works), and nine contracts (six by GWSSB and three by GUDC) were terminated due to non-performance. One of the contractors whose two contracts were terminated by GUDC is still pursuing claims through the courts. Considering that 344 contracts were awarded under the Project, these problems may be considered minor and

10

acceptable. The terminated contracts were re-tendered and the envisaged scope of work was completed, albeit with delays.

K. Performance of the Borrower and the Executing Agency

38. The Borrower demonstrated strong ownership of the Project at the highest level, through (i) regular participation in bilateral and tripartite meetings with the Government and ADB, and (ii) timely provision of adequate counterpart funds.

39. GSDMA is credited with steering the Project well with the continuous support of the state ministerial-level governing body. GSDMA was provided executive authority and powers by the GSDMA Act passed by the state legislature. The success of GSDMA is attributed to its sustained focus on rehabilitation, selection of a good leadership team, and complete support from the government of Gujarat. Implementation of the Project has resulted in reconstruction of earthquake-affected infrastructure, homes, and buildings to multi-hazard resistant standards, as well as restoration of livelihoods. GSDMA was selected for two awards: the UN-Sasakawa award for disaster reduction in 2003 for its outstanding work in disaster management and disaster reduction, and the gold medal in the fourth biennial (2004) Commonwealth Association for Public Administration and Management–international innovations awards program for initiatives undertaken in governance. Performance of GSDMA is rated as highly satisfactory. The transfer of funds from the Government to the SGIA took about 3 months, because ADB disbursements must move through the Government, the Reserve Bank of India and the state finance department. ADB disbursements did not immediately reach the SGIA despite the best efforts of GSDMA, leading to suspension of disbursement by ADB on a number of occasions.

L. Performance of the Asian Development Bank

40. This was the first ADB-financed emergency project in India. ADB provided GSDMA and the IAs with training, quick approvals (in most cases), regular monitoring and advice. ADB provided the EMG in Gujarat with two full-time staff consultants who coordinated and facilitated bidding, contract awards and implementation, and GSDMA is on record as appreciating the EMG contribution. ADB has subsequently provided similar field-level support for two ongoing projects in India: the Tsunami Emergency Assistance (Sector) Project in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala9, and the Multi-Sector Project for Infrastructure Rehabilitation in Jammu and Kashmir10. ADB staff and EMG conducted many seminars for project staff on disbursement, procurement and project administration. ADB staff spent 252 field days (instead of the planned 91 days) in review and disbursement missions, and extended much assistance to GSDMA and the IAs. During implementation, ADB acted promptly to address problems as they occurred. Based on the above, ADB’s performance is rated satisfactory.

III. EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE

A. Relevance

41. The Project was approved by ADB within 2 months of the major earthquake in Gujarat. The Project adopted a comprehensive approach to disaster management, formulating a reconstruction and rehabilitation program focusing on reducing risk and vulnerability. The Project was highly relevant, and helped rebuild housing, urban and rural infrastructure and livelihoods in earthquake-affected areas. The Project’s reconstruction was undertaken to a standard that ens-ures that future earthquakes will have minimal impact on the community. The Project was completed as initially planned except that owner-driven housing component was shifted from ADB to World Bank financing, resulting in a major ($150 million) reduction in the project loan. The Project achieved its goals and is rated “highly relevant”.

B. Effectiveness in Achieving Outcome

42. The Project fully achieved its objective of rehabilitation and reconstruction of damaged infrastructure and housing, and assisted in livelihood rehabilitation (refer Appendix 1)-----. It is now possible for people living in the earthquake-affected areas to resume their normal lives with better quality infrastructure and housing that have been built to resist multiple hazards. Basic infrastructure—such as drinking water, electricity, sewerage, sanitation and public buildings—is more widely available and far superior in quality than before the earthquake. The Project is rated “effective” in achieving its outcome.

C. Efficiency in Achieving Outcome and Outputs

43. The project funds were used efficiently. The money allocated was sufficient to complete the highest-priority works in about 3 years, and the balance of the loan funds were used to award and complete the remainder of the lower-priority works. Money was available from various sources and the use of grants and low-interest finance was maximized. Cost savings in the original scope were used to implement additional works, such as provision of water supply to Jamnagar district, improvements to rural roads and procurement of goods. The $150 million urban housing component was transferred to the World Bank to take advantage of grant funds (IDA credit of 40 years with 1% interest), with the equivalent ADB loan amount cancelled well before the project completion date. ADB support to the Project was both flexible and highly responsive. The Project is rated “efficient” in achieving the initially stated outcome and outputs.

D. Preliminary Assessment of Sustainability

44. The Project is “likely” to be sustainable. Drinking water supply and power are managed by experienced and efficient state organizations. O&M of facilities in some rural areas constructed under the Project, including water treatment plants and pumping stations, has been contracted out and these are being well maintained. However some municipally owned assets (such as water treatment plants and sewage pumping stations) are only being partially or sub-optimally used, especially in the town of Anjar.

45. The staff quarters of various utilities in urban areas are fully occupied, whereas those in rural areas are either empty or have been rented out. While the rented buildings are sustainable, the original objective of housing the O&M staff near their place of work has not been fully achieved. Municipal governance needs to be strengthened; public–private partnerships need to be explored to enable optimal utilization of municipal assets. A capacity-

12

building and revenue-enhancement program for the municipalities may be necessary to make urban municipal assets more sustainable. Privately owned assets such as rural houses built under public–private partnerships and livelihood tools and equipment programs are very well maintained.

E. Impact

46. Because the Project comprised an emergency loan that was very quickly prepared and approved, apart from the requirement to comply with the applicable environment and resettlement guidelines, no specific environmental and other safeguards were included in the RRP (refer footnote 3) or Loan Agreement. Implementation of the Project greatly enhanced the quality of both the built and natural environment, which had deteriorated due to the earthquake. All statutory environmental clearances for the facilities constructed under the Project have been obtained by the respective IAs. The Project was classified under environmental category B, because of potentially adverse environmental impacts related to centralized sewage and solid waste collection facilities.

47. The Project carried out resettlement of people who lost their homes as a result of the earthquake, but all resettlement was voluntary; the new serviced housing lots were offered at a token price, and GSDMA provided grants for house construction in accordance with state policy. The Project had no indigenous peoples issues. To lay water supply pipes in rural areas GWSSB and GWIL used easement arrangements with agricultural land owners. Positive social outcomes of the Project are (i) the choice of relocation or in situ reconstruction was determined by the village community. Newly built houses have been provided with access roads, electricity, water supply and community buildings, thereby restoring community life; (ii) livelihood support ensured that rural handicraft workers and tradesman now generate more substantial incomes, as they are better organized, have more skills, have been supplied with tools and been given a marketing platform; (iii) small industries, kiosks, shops, service and trade units were provided with cash assistance and/or temporary subsidies enabling them to regain their livelihoods; (iv) about 47,000 farmers were provided with input kits, assistance for construction of farm structures and irrigation assets such as tube wells and pumps; (v) livelihood creation and restoration for women benefited 14,147 women, from both conventional (e.g., handicrafts) and innovative sources (such as growing of aloe vera); and (vi) GSDMA has established itself as an effective institution for disaster preparedness, capacity building and disaster management.

48. Based on the above, the negative environmental and sociocultural impacts are rated negligible and the positive impacts significant. The overall strategy, policy and mechanisms of government of Gujarat and GSDMA for enabling rehabilitation and resettlement that is responsive to the community have been effective. There is a recognition by all stakeholders that the government of Gujarat was flexible and adopted a consultative process during both the relief and rehabilitation phases.

IV. OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Overall Assessment

49. GSDMA and all the IAs consulted agreed that the Project was successful, and this feeling is shared by the beneficiaries. GSDMA is credited with steering the Project successfully with the continuous support of the government of Gujarat. The success of GSDMA is attributed to its sustained focus on rehabilitation, selection of a good leadership team and the total support of the state, with GSDMA provided authority through the GSDMA Act. The state’s capacity and

13

emergency response preparedness has been built up by the Project, and the assets that were constructed are being operated sustainably.

50. The Project was prepared, approved by ADB, signed and made effective rapidly, which suited the emergency situation and allowed a flexible response. All initial subprojects identified at appraisal were completed by the revised loan closing date of 30 June 2007, with one exception. The quality of works was acceptable. While there were implementation difficulties, including nine contracts that had to be terminated and re-tendered, the overall outcome of the Project was as anticipated. In conclusion, overall performance of the Project is rated “successful”.

B. Lessons

51. The construction of public buildings and staff quarters should be selective and minimized given the inability and/or lack of interest by municipalities to maintain and use them for the planned purpose. In particular, utility staff quarters should be built only where there is a need, such as in urban areas. In rural and/or remote locations these quarters are often not required or utilized effectively, because maintenance of the facilities is often contracted to the private sector.

52. Works, particularly within urban areas, should be sequenced so that water supply, sewerage, drainage, shifting of utilities (power and telephone lines, underground pipes and cables) is substantially complete before road contracts are awarded. Alternatively, road contract requirements and completion times should allow for re-construction or proper reinstatement following water supply and sewerage contracts.

53. ADB stipulates that reimbursement be “immediately” credited to the SGIA. The transfer of funds from the Government to the SGIA takes about 3 months. ADB disbursements must move through the Government, the Reserve Bank of India and the state finance department, meaning that “immediately” needs to be appropriately defined.

54. The loan was processed under the ADB 1989 emergency assistance policy and approved on 26 March 2001 with a loan closing date of 30 June 2004. Implementing a large-scale reconstruction program within the 3 years originally provided was not practical. Due to the scale and spatial spread of destruction cause by the earthquake, the consultation and planning process took nearly 2 years, leaving little time for actual reconstruction, which took an additional 3 years. In retrospect, the Project could have been better prepared as two separate loans, one for the recovery phase of immediate relief and rehabilitation and the second as a normal or sector loan project covering the reconstruction phase. Interestingly, the revised ADB Disaster and Emergency Assistance Policy11 does suggest separate financing facilities for recovery, transition and prevention. In the recovery phase, which is generally limited to 2 years for natural disasters, only immediate, short-term assistance is provided for the rehabilitation or reconstruction of critical infrastructure. This period can be exceptionally extended at most by an additional 2 years, taking into account the weakened absorptive capacity of the EA following the disaster. The transition and prevention phases can take longer and should use normal development projects and financing facilities.

55. Capacity building for O&M of assets requires careful attention and needs to be incorporated into loan processing, and included in the follow-up to the emergency loan. The

11 ADB. 2004. Disaster and Emergency Assistance Policy. Manila (R71-04).

14

capacity of municipalities to operate and maintain the urban municipal assets created under GERRP is limited. The government of Gujarat, GSDMA and GUDC will need to help municipalities with capacity building related to revenue collection and O&M.

56. Financing of O&M was not possible under the Project because an enabling policy did not exist in 2001. This resulted in less-than-optimal utilization of assets under the Project in a few instances. The ADB innovations and efficiency initiative on cost sharing and eligibility of expenditures now makes O&M costs eligible for financing.

C. Recommendations

1. Project Related

57. Statutory Clearances. Appropriate coordination mechanisms at the highest level are necessary to reduce the time needed for obtaining statutory clearances, if necessary, especially those required from union government departments such as railways and forests.

58. Sustainability. Better dialogue is often required between the EA and/or IAs and end-user agencies (e.g. municipalities) to prepare end-users to assume responsibility for and undertake O&M of the newly created assets within agreed timelines. Capacity building and training of urban local governments needs to start at an early stage of project implementation to enable them to better manage the newly constructed infrastructure. A program for strengthening the financial, management and O&M capabilities of urban municipalities should be implemented.

59. Future Monitoring. Continued monitoring of the project for 2 years is recommended, including provision of advisory services for improvement of O&M of assets. Fielding of follow-up missions every 6 months would be useful. ADB may consider providing advisory TA to explore the possibility of Public Private Partnership (PPP) for sustainability of urban assets and strengthening the competency of municipalities.

60. Covenants. Most of the project covenants were appropriate and adequately complied with, and the Loan Agreement covenants should consequently be maintained. The only covenant that should be reexamined is the requirement that disbursement proceeds be immediately credited into the SGIA.

61. Further Action or Follow-Up. The Project has been completed successfully and loan accounts properly closed following five partial loan cancellations and cancellation of the undisbursed loan amount. The project objectives as set forth at appraisal have been met.

62. Additional Assistance. GUDC may require TA to formulate PPP options to strengthen municipal capacity for optimal O&M of urban assets created under the Project. GSDMA would need to ensure that the $75 million worth of additional disaster management equipment proposed to be procured from World Bank finance or Government of Gujarat budget sources is procured and deployed early. GSDMA is considering assessing approximately 1 million houses to determine their earthquake resistance and strengthening needs. If the assessment shows that a significant number of houses need retrofitting, the provision of the needed financing could be considered as a new ADB loan.

15

63. Timing of the Project Performance Evaluation Report. The project performance evaluation report may be carried out in mid-2009 to allow time for the two GWSSB contracts in Jamnagar to be completed and O&M arrangements to be properly established.

2. General

64. Complex and widespread emergency assistance projects need more time for completion than the 2 to 4 years allowed for under the 1989 ADB emergency assistance policy, 12 which was in effect at the time the Project was implemented. The revised policy (2004) enables ADB to provide two separate financing facilities in the case of complex emergency assistance projects. Urban reconstruction, consultation and proper planning can themselves take 1–2 years. Future complex projects should first provide an emergency assistance loan and/or grant for immediate short-term recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction to address shelter, food, public health, livelihood, water supply and sanitation needs. The second loan should be provided through a normal loan facility for medium- to long-term construction investment, risk-prevention and preparedness activities; to address planned urban reconstruction; and strengthening or expansion of water supply, power and transport. The revised emergency assistance policy has made this possible.

65. Construction of new buildings for public utilities should be selective and based on need, given the apparent inability or lack of interest of municipalities to use and maintain these for their original purpose. In particular, staff quarters should only be built within urban areas. Experience has shown that buildings in rural and/or remote locations are not utilized effectively.

66. Urban works should be sequenced so that water supply and sewerage are substantially complete before road contracts are awarded. Alternatively, road contract requirements and completion times should allow for reconstruction or proper reinstatement following water supply and sewerage contracts.

67. ADB disbursement processes could be aligned with World Bank processes, with the stringent conditions governing the use of and time limit for crediting the SGIA relaxed.

12 The 1989 policy Rehabilitation Assistance after Disasters (footnote 6), issued in February 1989, has been revised

as the Disaster and Emergency Assistance Policy (footnote 7).

Appendix 1 16

PROJECT COMPONENTS AND OUTPUTS

1. Part A: Housing. The nongovernment organization (NGO)-government of Gujarat partnership rural housing reconstruction financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) was implemented by building 41,902 houses instead of the originally targeted 37,150 houses. Owner-driven housing (involving construction of approximately 200,000 new and repairs and retrofitting of 800,000 existing houses) was to be financed by ADB, but this component was transferred to a World Bank loan by the Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA) due to the lower financing cost. The houses built under the NGO-government of Gujarat partnership are larger and of better quality than those that existed before the earthquake, and the number of houses with separate toilets has doubled (to 64%).

2. GSDMA’s housing construction program covered a vast geographical area comprising 21 out of 27 districts of Gujarat and included 7633 villages and many urban areas. The ADB-financed government of Gujarat-NGO partnership housing covered 286 villages in 12 districts. The housing recovery program was converted into the largest disaster-preparedness program with people’s participation. The government of Gujarat has been able to convert housing reconstruction in the affected areas into a participatory, long-term disaster (earthquake and cyclone) preparedness program by adopting an owner-driven reconstruction strategy, assisting owners financially and technically, and providing materials.

3. Part B: Urban and Rural Infrastructure. The Gujarat Urban Development Company (GUDC) was the implementing agency (IA) for urban infrastructure in 14 towns, including four in the Kutch district (Bhuj, Anjar, Bhachau and Rapar) that suffered the maximum impact from the earthquake. About 180 public consultations were held to facilitate urban planning and relocation activities. Table 1 lists the works implemented in the 14 towns by GUDC.

4. Urban works were implemented by the municipal corporations. Ahmedabad and Rajkot cities had significant outlays. The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) implemented water supply, sewerage and drainage works outside the Ahmedabad municipal limits.

5. Rural infrastructure comprised water supply and roads. GWSSB was the IA for water supply distribution systems, Gujarat Water Infrastructure Limited (GWIL) the IA for bulk water delivery systems, and the Roads and Buildings Department the IA for roads. The activities planned and implemented under the water supply component were reconstruction of village-level facilities (e.g., storage systems), reconstruction of water distribution networks, strengthening of water pipeline transmission systems, and upgrading of the pumping and captive power generation system. GWSSB and GWIL together implemented 60 contracts for 20 regional water supply schemes in which 2,576 kilometers (km) of pipeline was laid, based on village clusters, which ensured regular water supply to 27 towns and 1857 villages. Construction under the 60 contracts included 619 water supply structures (reservoirs, pump rooms, and staff quarters), 270 pump sets, and 17 water treatment plants. Tube wells (222) were drilled in the 152 villages that had no other reliable water supply source.

7. Part C: Power. The Gujarat Electricity Board (GEB) made every effort to bring the power supply almost back to normal within 7 days of the earthquake. Severe damage to transmission and distribution systems in Kutch and Rajkot occurred, and repair and

Appendix 1 18

strengthening of 2,547 km of the transmission network and 2,676 km of the distribution network was undertaken. All damaged transmission equipment (in five significantly affected districts) was repaired. Permanent buildings (67 in total, comprising control rooms, administrative buildings, and staff quarters) and temporary shelters (448) for GEB staff were built. Only 52% of the villages had electricity in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, but all the villages now have access to electricity.

8. Part D: Livelihood Restoration. The earthquake caused cottage and village industries, a vital component of economy, to lose assets, working capital and demand. The Project focused on creation of an enabling environment by providing one-time assistance. Over 3,400 handloom weavers were provided with looms and as many as 2,500 were assisted with working capital assistance. More than 31,000 tool kits were distributed to artisans and handicraft workers. Small industries (1,629) were provided with subsidy assistance and 13,299 kiosks and shops were provided with cash assistance. A handloom park was set up with project assistance by an NGO, Swa Sanstha of Ahmedabad. Except for a very small minority who left their line of employment, most residents were actively employed, with demand returning to normal.

10. The women’s livelihood restoration program was highly successful. Under the component 16,030 women were targeted as beneficiaries and 14,147 actually benefited in the five earthquake-affected districts. The self-employment scheme covered 2,500 women, and provided working capital through a revolving entrepreneurship fund. The Project focused on facilitating social and economic activities to uplift and empower women. Employment has increased from 54% soon after earthquake to 93%, and the incomes of 72% of respondents has reportedly increased 1.

12. Part F: Multi-hazard Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation. Seismic detection equipment was procured through the Gujarat Energy Research Institute and installed at 40 seismological observatories in Gujarat, which are linked to the Institute of Seismic Research at Gandhinagar, enabling online 24-hour monitoring of earthquakes. A “Planet Earth” pavilion has been constructed in Science City, Ahmedabad to improve disaster awareness. This work was two thirds complete by the loan closing date, with the rest of the funds provided by government of Gujarat. The building is now substantially complete and exhibits are being procured. Sophisticated medical emergency equipment (cardioscope pulse oxymeter, transport ventilator and defibrillator) has been procured by GSDMA and is in use. GUDC has procured 116 ambulances, 48 VHF base stations, 186 VHF mobile stations and 96 walkie-talkies and provided them to the urban local bodies for use in case of disasters and emergencies. Some components that were initially to be procured under the Project were shifted to other bilaterally and/or World Bank-financed components, as these included grants.

BENEFIT MONITORING AND EVALUATION

1. The Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA) engaged KPMG as the benefit monitoring consultant to monitor benefits derived by the society from the various programs under the World Bank- and ADB-assisted Gujarat Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Project . Because a baseline survey was not conducted at the beginning of the Project (immediately after the earthquake), baseline information was collected using the perceptions and the recollections of the beneficiaries surveyed. The first sample survey, covering 8000 beneficiaries, was conducted during June 2003 (over 2 years after the earthquake), with results submitted to GSDMA in October 2003. The second sample survey covering 4000 beneficiaries was conducted during March–April 2004, and the results were submitted to GSDMA in July 2004. The third sample survey covering 8000 beneficiaries was submitted to GSDMA in August 2007. 2. In addition to the three sample surveys, specific studies addressing community participation, capacity building and disaster preparedness, trade and commerce, and urban infrastructure were carried out from November 2003 to June 2007, and covered 2500 households. 3. The surveys and studies covered six earthquake-affected districts over a 3-year span. Summary of findings of the benefit monitoring and evaluation (BME) report1 are:

• The housing sector was badly affected by the earthquake, but now boasts of owner-driven reconstruction with high awareness and usage of multi-hazard resistant technology.

• Cottage and village industries were affected with loss of assets, working capital and demand due to the earthquake. The Project focused on creation of an enabling environment by providing one-time assistance, which helped restore and increase employment and income levels.

• The Women’s livelihood and restoration program focused on facilitating social and economic activities that benefit and empower women. Both employment and income levels have increased.

• Trade and commerce in the affected regions has been restored to at least pre-earthquake levels.

• Road reconstruction provided an opportunity to strengthen and repair rural connectivity, which is usually ignored.

• Restoration of rural water supply was critical for ensuring health and hygiene in the affected areas. Reconstruction gave an opportunity to provide a solution to the problem of drinking water in the drought-prone Kutch district.

• Only 52% of villages had electricity immediately after the earthquake, but all villages now have access. The quality and duration of the power supply in both rural and urban areas has improved.

• Communities have gained from most of the aspects of the reconstructed urban infrastructure. Road connectivity has increased; congestion of narrow streets and over-hanging balconies has been drastically reduced. Public satisfaction with street lights, drainage and sewerage system is high. There is higher coverage of piped water supply connections among communities. People have started to appreciate the important role played by community bins, garbage dumps, and garbage collection

vehicles in improving the overall town environment. People are satisfied with the various aspects of the Project, such as the time frame, public participation, and implementation of town planning schemes.

• A pro-people attitude was displayed by the administration after the earthquake, which is recognized and appreciated by residents.

• Municipalities must assess the operational and financial viability of all the completed projects in detail. Public–private partnership options should be explored wherever possible.

Description: The TA was piggy backed to Loan 1826-IND: Gujarat Earthquake Rehabilitation and reconstruction Project for $500 million, approved on 26 March 2001. The project was formulated in response to a request from the Borrower for support to reconstruction of the heavily damaged housing, infrastructure and livelihoods of hundreds of thous ands of affected persons. The emergency loan was approved by ADB’s Board just 2 months after the disastrous earthquake struck. The TA was provided to support the various state agencies with incorporation of earthquake strengthening measures in the reconstruction of housing and other structures. The original Executing Agency (EA) was the State Department of Urban Development, but once the Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA) was established, the TA was shifted to GSDMA for its implementation. When the TA was transferred to GSDMA, its scope was broadened to include day to day support to GSDMA with state wide disaster management planning, related facilities as well as capacity building to improve implementation of the associated loan project. This is why the original 12 month implementation of the TA was extended to 3 years, and the work plan of the consultants was adjusted to enable the longer term support. Objectives and Scope: The original objective of the TA was to support the Urban Development and Housing Department, the Rural Development Department and the local districts with implementation of the State’s reconstruction program. This would include (i) capacity building and development of regulatory systems and codes, land use planning, zoning development planning and upgrade the earthquake building standards, (ii) support to the urban and rural development and housing departments to oversee the rehabilitation and reconstruction of housing, through NGOs and local governments, (iii) establish cash flow systems for release of housing grants, and (iv) development of quality control and monitoring procedures to ensure that new housing met the updated building codes and standards with special emphasis on strengthening the structures against earthquake and other disasters. However, the State received considerable support for house reconstruction from various Central Government, bilateral and NGO programs, reducing the need for loan funds. Within one year of the loan approval, the State decided to utilize World Bank IDA funds for the remaining housing in urban sector and cancelled ADB’s involvement. The ADB loan was subsequently reduced by $150 million, to $350 million. While ADB did stay involved with the State’s 50% share of NGOs supported rural/village housing, the need for the substantial capacity building support under the TA was reduced. At the request of the Borrower, the scope of the TA was adjusted to provide more broad based disaster management support to GSDMA, along with making GSDMA the Executing Agency. In addition to strengthening housing standards, the TA was adjusted to support GSDMA with day to day management of implementation of the loan project, which ended up with more than 340 separate contracts, with emphasis on monitoring and quality control. The TA also was used to update the earthquake related design standards for housing, buildings, bridges, roads and other infrastructure. It also helped train hundreds of engineers and inspectors in the State. Finally the TA developed a State wide disaster management system, specifications for disaster rescue and emergency equipment and facilities and designed a typical regional disaster management center, for the long term operation of GSDMA. In short the TA helped operationalize GSDMA as the permanent disaster management authority in the State. Evaluation of Inputs: The TA included 115 months of consulting services, 15 months of international and 100 months of domestic specialists. The original terms of reference had to be substantially amended to reflect the ground realities and the quickly changing needs of the State’s rehabilitation. This is not surprising for an emergency loan where the loan and TA were formulated during a 3 week combined fact finding and appraisal mission, conducted under local emergency conditions. This was complicated by the fact that there were dozens of major donors on the ground the first few months, and initially there was considerable confusion as to who was doing what. The State and the Borrower were appreciative of ADB’s flexibility in adjusting the scope of the TA to enable it to provide real help to GSDMA. The Babtie Group, UK (later became Jacobs Babtie, UK) were the successful consultants. They provided the

Appendix 10 53

international disaster management specialist from several renowned institutes in the UK and USA, and domestic specialists from their Ahmedabad office. While the international specialist provided the overall disaster planning and guidance, it was the domestic team that GSDMA came to rely on heavily, therefore the eventual 2 year extension. Generally the consultants, with the exception of one individual who was found unsuitable, were excellent and met or exceeded their term of reference. The implementation of the loan project and the TA was supported by ADB’s Extended Mission in Gujarat (EMG). The EMG staffed by 2 experienced specialists, one engineering the other livelihood, was located in Gandhinagar, the State capital. The EMG provided hands on support to GSDMA, the 19 implementing agencies and the dozens of towns and district supported by the project. EMG provided assistance to GSDMA and the IAs with preparation of tender documents, tendering and management of more than 340 contracts. This was a major benefit for GSDMA as approvals of draft documents and evaluation reports were provided in only 1 to 2 days. The presence of the EMG also encouraged more beneficiary involvement as the staff consultants traveled frequently to the affected areas and beneficiary towns, villages and communities. The EMG staff attended numerous public meetings and consultations, especially during formulation of the disaster management plans, which was incorporated into the new town area development plans prepared for the towns of Bhuj, Anjar, Rapar and Bhachau which were almost completely destroyed in the quake and rebuilt under the loan project. The project and TA were also supported by monthly review missions from ADB’s India resident mission in Delhi (INRM). More than 20 such missions were carried out during the TA implementation period. The input for the TA was excellent and exceeded expectations. ADB has received many expressions of appreciation form the State, the local governments, NGOs and beneficiaries for the support provided under the TA. Evaluation of Outputs: The nature of the TA was project implementation support and capacity building, rather than a specific stand alone action or report. But the consultants did prepare a final report. In addition, they conducted dozens of training sessions on incorporating earthquake strengthening measures which included hundreds of engineers, architects and builders, public consultations, community activities including street plays, provided revisions to the curricula of engineering colleges to incorporate earthquake designs, established quality control measures of new housing and buildings, updated the State’s building codes, developed state, regional and community disaster management plans, conducted drills in evacuation and rescue with local communities, prepared policy framework for the State disaster management plan, planned, designed and specified the regional disaster management centers, and provided capacity building/training and advice to GSDMA on project related issues for 2 years. As indicated, these activities and outputs greatly exceeded that in the original TORs. The revisions in the TA scope and TORs led to substantial improvements in the outputs of the TA. The various reports and outputs are available in INRM’s files. Overall Assessment and Rating: Based on feedback from the State agencies, and GSDMA, and the above evaluation, the TA is considered highly successful. Major Lessons Learned: 1. The objectives and scope of emergency loans and associated TAs should be developed with a view to flexibility. The TORs should be left quite open, to enable easy adjustment as ground realities and needs become clear. 2. Capacity building TAs are particularly useful for emergency loans, where the local governments and EAs are usually completely unprepared and not experienced with rehabilitation and reconstruction. (In India, even normal loans to the urban sector are supported by capacity building TAs.) 3. While a modest amount of international expertise is useful in the early days of the TA, to plan the program, bring international expertise and best practices, and on an intermittent basis during implementation, it is the day to day support by local specialists under the TA that was highly beneficial to GSDMA/EA. 4. The TA should have been set up as a long term TA from the beginning.

54 Appendix 10

Recommendations and Follow-Up Actions: 1. The loan project was still ongoing 1 year after the TA was completed. The EA, GSDMA had requested that the TA be extended further to help them. But there comes a time when such an organization should be able to develop its own in house capacity. GSDMA became overly dependent on the TA consultants, and EMG, and had lost some focus since both were ended at the end of 2004. 2. The EA needs to develop more ownership and the State should have deputed more experienced staff to GSDMA. 3. While all contracts have been tendered, most works will be completed by end of 2006, though some will likely take until mid 2007 to be completed. INRM will continue to support and monitor the project. Prepared by
