A general lesson learnt is that the sustainability of initiatives beyond the lifetime of the project rests heavily on the level of reinforcement provided by the Ministry of Education (MOE), in the form of circulars, training, and regular follow up by provincial and zonal staff. For example, initiatives such as school-based assessment and Program for School Improvement, which were supported and reinforced by the MOE (e.g. through circulars) have had better success than initiatives such as teaching learning methodologies and teaching learning resource development and useU, which did not enjoy the same level of support. Hence, in order for future projects and programs to be successful, ADB would have to closely align these with the government's Education Sector Development Framework and Program to ensure greater institutional ownership and support.
