Given that audit observations presumably came in annually, there could have been time to adjust the TA project activities to address the identified issue. However, it is unclear from the TCR whether factors other than inadequate training contributed to the issue.

The TA had been effective in drawing cofinancing. Activities from the cofinancing were clearly defined and complementary to ADB financed activities. Co-financing could have been envisaged at design stage instead of additional financing during implementation.
