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.

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.
