Project Name: Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway Development Project
Report Date:
Lesson
This validation offers the following lesson: keeping the stakeholders engaged through national interventions and securing sources of post-TA financial resources (unless the TA project was a project preparation TA) is important especially for capacity building TA projects, to ensure continuity and sustainability of the project.

Lesson

Project Number: 48377-001
Project Name: Financing Public-Private Partnerships
Report Date:
Lesson
The lifting of regulatory standards, the development of a project pipeline and the development of strategic trade and transport facilitation implementation plans help to direct government focus for budget allocation. Donors and the private sector are motivated to invest in areas where strategic development has already commenced, and where strategic plans are in place that have a coordinated long-term focus, and which can clearly demonstrate positive project outcomes.

Project Name: Trade and Transport Facilitation in the Pacific

Lesson
As continued financing of gender-projects can be a challenge, a key lesson for ADB is to consider options for financing continued support to sub-projects including from other ADB TA resources. ADB teams could also prepare solid gender project financing proposals and market these to other donors so that these can be scaled up

Project Number: 48206-001
Project Name: Promoting Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (Phase 2)
Report Date:
Lesson
Other countries that have similar issues could cofinance knowledge-sharing events to learn valuable lessons for their own countries’ policies and practices.

Report Date:
Lesson
More feedback—provided by the EAER beyond the information provided in the TCR—stated that from central to local provinces, the GEP was widely adopted through either domestic finance or other development partners’ support.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
ADB financed at least two TA projects that are aligned with this TA, potentially indicating a form of follow-on financing. One lesson here could be that ADB broadly believed in the validity of the approach and was aiming to sustain and strengthen it through additional TAs. This, however, requires further information to confirm it.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
It may be possible for the private sector to finance a scale-up and expansion (e.g., through sponsorship of conferences) if this sector perceives some profit or other incentives to participate.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
It is important that, for country-specific TAs, there be a provision for any follow-up work by ADB country offices, particularly where these TAs are linked to country operation business plans or may be relevant to future investments to support local government for poverty reduction and livelihood improvement. As part of the TA sustainability planning, it would be useful if ADB could also discuss future plans with the executing agency.

Project Number: 50006-001
Project Name: Poverty Reduction in Liupanshan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region
Report Date:
Lesson
Reporting on the role of private sector engagement post-TA would have been a good recommendation for a potential follow-on TA and would help contribute to sustainability.

Project Number: 48006-001
Project Name: Improving Efficiency in Public Service Procurement, Delivery, and Financing
Report Date:
Lesson
This is a description of a follow_x005F_x0002_on activity and not formulated as a lesson. It could, for example, be: The effectiveness of a TA project can be enhanced if a follow-on TA will build on the results of the first.

Project Number: 48033-001
Project Name: Enhancing Road Safety for Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Member Countries
Report Date:
Lesson
A lesson from this TA is that the benefits of a regional TA approach seem strong in terms of applicability among GMS countries, and the potential for improving standards and value chains across different product categories is great. As one gets into the “retail” side of capacity development (where farmer and other producer beneficiaries are trained on how to produce according to the standards), the costs vis-à-vis the benefits of TAs from different activities and for different stakeholder groups may need to be shown before they attract donor buy-ins.

Project Name: Implementing the Greater Mekong Subregion Core Agriculture Support Program (Phase 2)
Report Date:
Lesson
The TCR did not mention this dimension explicitly in the document. In-country ownership by government and/or private sector would be required to consolidate gains.

Project Number: 47286-001
Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance

Lesson
ADB officers responsible for TA activities should actively discuss possibilities for future investment opportunities with divisional management.
