A program design of this nature should avoid numerous and complex policy actions, and focus on the core elements of the government's reform agenda. Policy actions must be prioritized thoroughly based on a clearly defined, time-bound roadmap. Policy-based programs should be supported by an accompanying TA to meet all targeted policy actions in a timely manner, and strengthen the government's capacity to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the reforms. An accurate assessment of training and capacity building needs should be carried out at the fact-finding stage to determine the precise scope of the TA support.
