Lesson
While this is interesting information, this lesson learned does not provide a learning opportunity for future TAs. The TCR self-assessment needs to tie the information provided here more closely to the impact or relationship it has to the TA being evaluated.

Project Name: Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Project Upgrading Project
Report Date:
Lesson
Although interesting, this lesson learned does not provide a learning opportunity for future TAs. A more specific lesson could be that outputs delivered can provide a base for future interventions to build on, such as this TA’s trade portal, which is a tool to support investors and exporters.

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.

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
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.

Description. No lesson formulated. It could, for example, be: “The TA results may incentivize other DP funding on the subject.” Or, “Broad dissemination of TA results of a new water quality monitoring approach, such as the participatory approach introduced through this TA, may generate replication elsewhere, in the country and beyond.”

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 Name: KazPost Financial Strengthening and Modernization

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.
