Ratings for the Formoso River Integrated Watershed Management and Protection Project for Brazil were as follows: overall Trust Fund (TF) outcome was satisfactory; overall risk to development outcome was moderate; Bank performance was satisfactory; recipient performance was also satisfactory. Some lessons learned include: protracted project preparation, as well as delayed effectiveness, can deflate and outdate a project, requiring considerable effort and time to re-engage and re-energize relevant people and organizations, and impeding its efficient launching and implementation.
Recipients with little/no experience with international funding need Bank support/training to fully understand Bank procedures. Project supervision requirements are much the same whether a project is large or small. Small projects merit adequate supervision budget to leverage the potentially high impact of such operations which often test and validate important methodologies appropriate for scaling-up under much larger projects.
There are risks associated with recruiting a relatively inexperienced recipient such as the Candido Rondon Foundation at the outset of project execution, but the important institutional capital formation which occurred as a result of its major role in a complex Bank-supported operation was a valuable development.
Given the complexities of several government agencies managing and internalizing project resources, many government agencies in Brazil are using foundations and social organizations to facilitate the financial, administrative and procurement functions of projects.
The major obstacle for project coordination was the distance between the Coordinator's office, executing agencies in Mato Grosso do Sul, and field operations in Bonito.
