Lesson
This is more of a description of outputs/knowledge products produced than a lesson learned. A more specific lesson could be that ensuring that the knowledge products delivered under a TA are widely disseminated to allow for a learning experience is important. For example, this TA conducted assessments and ensured knowledge sharing by organizing an international forum and workshops.

The DMF should provide clear plans for the study publications. The DMF planned that the TA studies be published, but it did not specify where these would be published. These studies may be used both within the PRC and in other ADB member countries, and plans to publish them in ADB’s website or in other widely accessible knowledge websites should be specifically stated. If the studies require editing or translation to meet publication criteria, time and budget should be included to complete their publication.

Lesson
Specific details of the measures that were adopted, and the timing of their adoption provide a useful practice advice for future policy support through TAs. The TCR reported that the policy recommendations were accepted by the FAOL and were being incorporated into the revised rules and in the regulatory framework for local financial markets in the PRC. It would be useful to expand on this to share knowledge of the time and process required to achieve these intended results.

The way the lesson was formulated in the TCR could be improved (it is stated more like an issue rather than lesson learned).

Such details and other lessons from the Manila wrap-up workshop could have been mentioned in the TCR as well.

Lesson
Based on the findings of the study under the TA, market participants and regulators in ASEAN+3 countries identified the absence of a linkage between national goals to improve the environment (as reflected in national commitments associated with the UN SDGs) and the development of green bond markets. There is low awareness of green bonds among issuers and investors in most ASEAN+3 countries. Many market participants are unfamiliar with green bonds and through the middle of 2017, those with some awareness often had only a cursory understanding.
