Lesson
Broader reflections on the experiences of the three development partners during their joint implementation of this ambitious program, and the implications for future, similar efforts would have been valuable. The considerable time lost due to misunderstandings among the partners at the beginning of the project, for example, might have been avoided if early agreement had been reached on how to deal with the different accountability mechanisms and requirements of the partners.

Lesson
Institutional reform requires well-defined and attributable outcomes. Many of the milestones for institutional reform are process related, e.g., cabinet endorsement of the IGF. The outcomes from the institutional reforms are not well-defined, e.g., higher economic and social rates of return. There is a need for closer monitoring and evaluation to determine whether the reforms achieved their objectives. The theory of change and intended results should be well articulated at the outset.

Lesson
Policy-based loans should ensure adequate support for reform implementation. Accompanying TA would help clients meet key program targets, such as implementation of the IGF and medium-term budgeting. Policy-based loan design should ensure that TA findings are translated into actions. With the MFEM’s preference for policy-based lending, loan design should ensure strong links between TA and the program being supported.

Lesson
Policy-based loans are useful instruments for aligning donor activities and securing donor participation. As noted above, donors provide a significant amount of resources, including for capacity building. Various modalities of donor participation and coordination could be explored in the design of policy-based loans, such as inclusion of donor commitment and funding of specific programs and projects (especially in the social sectors, where donors are active) and TA (notably in PFM).

Lesson
Addressing multiple development challenges in a single operation results in complex program design that is not appropriate where capacity is a key constraint. Narrowing the thematic focus (e.g., infrastructure governance reform) could result in a more coherent program.
