Having a combination of various types of reports, workshops and communication tools/approaches was effective and efficient for project management. ADB staff managed the TA consultants appropriately through an inception mission (in December 2016), interim/review missions (three times in August 2017, May 2018 and February 2019), various reports (Inception, Interim and Final reports, Quarterly Progress Reports) and frequent communication via email. The TA consultant consulted and coordinated with government TA counterparts through regular meetings (weekly or every other week), workshops and email/telephone communication. Moreover, regional workshops (May 2018 in Nepal, September 2019 in Bhutan) and study tours (July 2018 in Japan, February 2019 in Thailand) were good opportunities for ADB staff, government TA counterparts and the TA consultant for tripartite face-to-face discussion on the progress, issues and activity plans.
