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.

Project Number: 47286-001
Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
Lesson
Other lessons that can be used when replicating or scaling up some aspects of this TA project were not mentioned. Based on the guidelines, replication occurs when results of the TA project can be copied in other areas. Evidence of scaling up can involve mainstreaming the TA project process into wider development pathway.

Project Number: 48240-001
Project Name: Information and Communication Technology for Development Initiative Facility in Asia and the Pacific
Report Date:
Lesson
Due to the nature of the TA project’s deliverables and increasing demands from operational departments, the TA project had to be made flexible. Hence, it was not limited to the narrowly pre-defined areas and maximized the use of TA project resource as a facility

Report Date:
Lesson
Better assessment on the demand from operational departments was deemed needed as well. The change in scope kept the TA project relevant despite the fast-paced nature of the environment it was trying to address.3 A change in scope may be ideal for ICT-related TA projects as the technology advances can move quite quickly.

This reflects one of the outputs being delivered by this TA project and how it was undertaken. The contribution of this TA project in knowledge building, especially in building the capacity of DMCs was not highlighted.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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 a lesson could be inferred that ensuring individual DMC commitment upfront and awareness measures could seamlessly facilitate progress towards the attainment of the objective of the TA.

Also, ensuring that approval is sought for changes in the indicators in the course of TA implementation is a good practice.

Lesson
A more detailed, formal assessment of individual, organizational, and institutional capacity before program design that could then be monitored during implementation might also have helped strengthen program implementation.

Lesson
The level, timing, focus, number, prioritization, sequencing, and flexibility of the reform actions are likely to be unique to each program of reforms and to change.
