This is phrased as an achievement of the TA project. It can be rephrased as a lesson by emphasizing that preparing fiduciary and sector performance reports on a regular basis contributes to improved fiduciary and results management in primary education and this practice could be replicated in the secondary education sector.

Well-phrased as a lesson, assuming the lack of training was the main underlying issue. Given that audit observations presumably came in annually, there could have been time to adjust the TA project activities to address the identified issue. However, it is unclear from the TCR whether factors other than inadequate training contributed to the issue.

Despite ADB’s and the PRC government’s best intentions, replacing the gender-sensitive training manual appeared to be unjustified. It was reflected in the heavily male-oriented output 2b and the TA final report that “the minority, underprivileged and female graduates are in a lower employment rate than the average level within Gansu.” The lesson should be project design change based on fact and data, not on the whims of the developing member country’s government.

It was also vital in opening a dialogue between the governments of Sindh and Punjab for possible ADB assistance.
