Lesson
Another lesson could be that regional conferences and study tours can also be a useful way to engage stakeholders, rather than relying on a one-way flow of information through dissemination of knowledge products.

Project Number: 48206-001
Project Name: Promoting Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (Phase 2)
Report Date:
Lesson
The validation agrees that this is an important lesson especially as this was a cross-cutting gender specific TA project, and especially as this Phase 2 was building on work already undertaken in Phase 1. The TA project thus potentially offers a rich set of lessons; the documentation of lessons of replication is important and could potentially inform approach to how gender can be mainstreamed or scaled up across ADB operations.

The validation agrees with the TCR lesson on the importance of building ownership of in-country stakeholders.

Lesson
The validation agrees with the lesson that alignment of TA project design with ADB operational priorities and workplans can help ensure smoother implementation, monitoring, and reporting.

Lesson
Flexible umbrella TA projects allow for the projects to be opportunistic and take on new initiatives, but there could be implementation challenges and time delays. This also means that not all results may be known at TA project completion. For instance, the subproject on future cities was included through additional TASF resources, but this also required extension and the procurement of additional consultancy services. Although work progressed in the three pilot cities, it is not clear whether this was taken up by the respective governments by the end of the TA project.

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.

Time taken to recruit consultants should be considered in the planning stage.

Project Number: 52320-001
Project Name: Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Project Upgrading Project
Report Date:
Lesson
This is a particularly useful lesson learned which should be taken into account for future ADB TA projects. Ensuring the buy-in of all relevant stakeholders is critical for a successful and sustainable outcome. Communication activities and/or community outreach activities can also be beneficial for reaching a higher participation of women in stakeholder consultations.

Lesson
While this is interesting information, this lesson learned does not provide a learning opportunity for future TAs. The TCR self-assessment needs to tie the information provided here more closely to the impact or relationship it has to the TA being evaluated.

Lesson
This is a useful recommendation and applicable for future TAs. Rephrasing it into a lesson learned: Planning a realistic timeframe for the selection of consultants is critical to avoid any implementation delays.

Lesson
This is a useful lesson learned. A wider and more applicable lesson based on this TA’s implementing experience is: Building TA on studies already conducted and collaborating with different development partners is critical for supporting the government in making an informed decision.

Lesson
Replication: Within ADB, the SDCD cost center has been established to develop GCF project proposals. Scaling up: It would require additional project preparation facilities, trust fund resources, and climate TA projects alongside ADB projects. Skills within SDCD have been developed but continue to rely on TA consultant support for implementation. The TCR, thus, recommended for a way forward.

Project Number: 47286-001
Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
Lesson
Based on the TCR narrative, the TA prepared some technical documents and accessed new mechanisms for climate finance. The approved GCF proposals were examples. While the TA made some efforts to increase awareness and disseminate knowledge via the in-country consultations, there was no clear evidence or assessment that the target audience was more aware of the technical materials presented, and had adopted the same, thereby, building institutional capacity. Adopting national or sectoral policies or legal standards, or any academic literature was not mentioned in the TCR.

This validation adds the need to adopt a more realistic timeline where funding sources are uncertain or unknown.

Lesson
This validation adds that pioneering the GCF proposals with a strong SDCD team, like in Mongolia, will provide a sound template and be an effective way to demonstrate success for the subsequent proposals.
