Some lessons learned included: political will needs to be sustained and the broader governance environment needs to provide enabling conditions for capacity-building projects to succeed. In the planning for the project, it was clear that the task team as well as the client understood the challenges stemming from the civil armed conflict in late 2008 and early 2009 and took that into account. The longer-term nature of policy and reform investments means that to fully see them come to fruition, lasting partnerships with clear responsibilities are needed. The World Bank water security development program (under development) will be important in taking the reforms forward. Breaking reform technical assistance (TA) into small parts ensures that TA can iteratively adapt to the reform environment as it evolves and avoid funding unnecessary outputs. The reform instruments and the performance monitoring of service provision should be integrated to ensure that there is a feedback loop to drive the evolution of reform instruments and that reform instruments support performance improvements.  Réduire
