Lesson
The sector development program modality proved to be effective in helping the government to reform the education sector. It responded to the sector's major problem of insufficient financing, with the policy-based grant providing the government financial incentives to reform the sector. The project component effectively supported the implementation of policy reforms. Some project initiatives are not yet fully functional and the government needs further support to accomplish these. Supporting technical assistance could address this.

One significant additional lesson is the importance of monitoring the results of reform programs even after the financial closure of the program, ensuring that the government and its various implementing agencies develop a strong sense of ownership for the reform initiatives. As pointed out in para. 19, these types of SME reform measures would usually take much longer time to achieve real outcomes on the ground.
