Lesson
The TCR lesson is useful. Capacity development activities should look to identify opportunities to partner with other donors. This TA partnership with FAO (handbook and MOOC implementation) generated greater and more cost-effective results than would otherwise have been possible.

Lesson
Agreed. A useful lesson is the importance of partnering with other knowledge institutions to tap expertise and efficiently use financial resources.

Project Number: 47146-001
Project Name: Macroeconomic Modelling for Improved Economic Assessment
Report Date:
Lesson
For a development project with such apparently clear potential economic benefits, it would be helpful for the TCR to provide clearer evidence as to why the operation was dropped and why mitigation did not occur in a timely manner.

Lesson
Another internal lesson could be that when introducing additional funding midway through implementation—such as the TASF in this project—the TA needs to closely plan and monitor activities so that the overall TA project implementation is not delayed.

Lesson
SAOD highlighted further the importance of developing strategic partnerships in advancing climate change solutions. Leveraging knowledge partnerships with key centers of excellence (e.g., APEC Climate Center) will be a crucial feature in the continuous enhancement of climate data and information for the SARD RS-GIS web-based Climate and Disaster Risk Resilience Decision Support System.

Project Name: Action on Climate Change in South Asia
Report Date:
Lesson
This has not been presented clearly as a lesson. The TCR noted that partnerships with other regional technical institutions, such as the APEC Climate Center and SAARC, but did not elaborate on how this was used in building a wider collaborative effort in the region. This validation notes that consideration should be given as to whether and how these institutional partnerships will be sustained beyond the TA.

Working with and through regional forums like the SASEC EWG is important to endorse and help to progress complex regional cooperation agendas such as EE.

Lesson
In this TA, the Central and West Asia Department. collaborated effectively with the East Asia Department and the Development and Climate Change Department. A lesson from this would be: In a regional TA, application of the "One-ADB" approach can be particularly effective.

Project Number: 48033-001
Project Name: Enhancing Road Safety for Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Member Countries
Report Date:
Lesson
External NDF cofinancing and GCF climate finance partnerships were referenced here, and lessons provided were very broad, and not supported by evidence in the TCR. Internal ADB partnerships were not mentioned in the TCR, which would be important for encouraging broader adoption and sustainability of respective DMCs’ TA efforts via the country dialogue processes.

Lesson
Accessing additional professional and technical resources was helpful in contributing to the success of the TA. In particular, the involvement of technical experts from the WCO enhanced the provision of technical support and enabled the TA to develop methodologies (TRS, JCC). In addition, the use of Japanese resource persons enabled the TA to draw on country practices in customs modernization and visibility improvement. These lessons could be relevant to other JFPR-funded TA projects as well.

Lesson
The knowledge partnership with the APEC Climate Center (Busan, Republic of Korea) contributed to the incorporation of updated and highly reliable historical and projected climate data and information, and climate scenarios into the SARD RS-GIS based Climate and Disaster Risk Resilience Decision Support System. It also contributed practical strategies to mitigate the impacts and consequences of climate disasters and natural hazards, and to formulate the most appropriate climate change adaptation/mitigation measures for South Asia DMCs.

Project Name: Action on Climate Change in South Asia
Report Date:
Lesson
Continue the partnership with other international agencies like FAO so as not to duplicate work being done in the pilot DMCs. Sharing of resources with other agencies would also lead to an expansion of benefits to more DMCs, as witnessed within this TA.

Lesson
Close exchange with the GCF Secretariat as well as with other multilateral development banks and development partners accredited to the GCF has been helpful for understanding the investment criteria of climate financiers. The TA benefited from cofinancing by the NDF which was mobilized during TA implementation.
