Strengthening Tax Policy and Administration Capacity

Regular meetings with ADB (management, project officers, staff, and consultants) are necessary and an effective way to ensure TA implementation remains on track and all activities are well managed. The engagement of experienced experts who are familiar with ADB protocols and procedures, as well as those of counterparts, is important to successful TA implementation. Getting on board a project coordinator strengthens TA coordination, communication, monitoring, and reporting. Preparation of periodic progress reports to keep track of the attainment of priorities and commitments, as well as activity work plans, enables effective monitoring and provides a mechanism for documenting and maintaining institutional memory beyond the TA lifetime.
