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.

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.
