Learning Curves: Support for Sri Lanka’s Transport Sector
Asian Development Bank | December 2012
Abstract
The sector assistance program evaluation has three objectives: (i) to provide an independent assessment of ADB support between 1999 and 2010 to the Sri Lanka transport sector, (ii) to identify areas for improving the effectiveness of ADB’s interventions, and (iii) to provide evaluation lessons and recommendations. This evaluation assessed 10 projects and 14 advisory technical assistance operations approved during 1999–2010. It draws on implementation experiences and lessons from earlier projects. Taking into account the sector context, it evaluates the contribution of ADB to specific development results in Sri Lanka. Five road projects were initiated over the 12-year period, and two ports projects. Loans for a Road Project Preparatory Facility and the Colombo Port Efficiency and Expansion Project were also provided over the period.
