Project Name: Facilitating Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Foreign Direct Investment Flows: An ASEAN+6 Case Study
Report Date:
Lesson
If this TCR claims potential demand from other countries for similar TA projects, it could have provided evidence to support this. The TCR could have also highlighted what worked and what did not in the methodology used if similar TA projects would be replicated or lessons that could be useful in the follow-on TA project.

Report Date:
Lesson
Designing the TA project in such a way that the scale of activities and outputs are commensurate and tightly linked with the outcome being targeted is important. In the case of this TA project, the outcome appeared to have been under-targeted.

Project Number: 50060-001
Project Name: Strengthening Tax Policy and Administration Capacity to Mobilize Domestic Resources
Report Date:
Lesson
Agree on the need to continuously implement capacity building activities, given the rapidly changing development landscape and new emerging challenges, and to customize it to local languages for better understanding. The design of the next capacity building workshops should be informed by the feedback received from the participants from the post-training evaluation surveys conducted. It would be useful if SDCC could indicate these feedback and suggestions for future CDTA projects.

Lesson
Extension of the TA for one year due to foreseeable events would not have been necessary had the TA been designed more appropriately.

Project Number: 50057-001
Project Name: Promoting Green Local Currency-Denominated Bonds for Infrastructure Development in ASEAN+3
Report Date:
Lesson
On the output indicator, understanding of the underlying environment, including quality of data, through pre-investigative works could have ensured better design of TA outputs.

Project Number: 50057-001
Project Name: Promoting Green Local Currency-Denominated Bonds for Infrastructure Development in ASEAN+3
Report Date:
Lesson
Based on further information provided by ERCD, ensuring that adequate resources are allocated to finance important associated costs (e.g., hiring of dedicated staff to monitor use of proceeds and to ensure compliance with post-issuance reporting requirements) could help facilitate sustained increase in green bonds issuance.

Project Number: 50057-001
Project Name: Promoting Green Local Currency-Denominated Bonds for Infrastructure Development in ASEAN+3
Report Date:
Lesson
Based on further information provided by ERCD, understanding the additional costs (beyond external review fees) would help in identifying the reasons why there was no second-round issuance (which affects reputation if green status is lost) even though issuers have already invested heavily to establish proper internal system to monitor use of proceeds and provide post-issuance reporting.

Project Name: Promoting Green Local Currency-Denominated Bonds for Infrastructure Development in ASEAN+3
Report Date:
Lesson
The outcome indicator should have been formulated more clearly and the outputs/activities planned to better ensure that it could deliver the targeted outcome.

Project Number: 50057-001
Project Name: Promoting Green Local Currency-Denominated Bonds for Infrastructure Development in ASEAN+3
Report Date:
Lesson
The way the lesson was formulated in the TCR could be improved (it is stated more like an issue rather than lesson learned). But lessons can be inferred that addressing reputational risk and additional costs for meeting green bonds requirements, ensuring a certain level of market maturity, and establishing clear regulations by market regulators are necessary conditions to the successful attainment of the TA objectives.
