Lesson
The lessons drawn by the PCR are valuable to ADB. ADB needs to seriously consider the socioeconomic and political environments in designing projects. Implementing a project in an unstable environment is not likely to yield positive outcomes. Proper timing is important in introducing a project especially when it entails a paradigm shift (i.e., from supply-led to demand driven). The experience with this project highlighted the need for greater coordination with other donors in addressing the country’s strategic development needs.

Lesson
Poor countries are rightly skeptical of borrowing only for consulting services because in the absence of the requisite infrastructure they fail to internalize outputs and derive gains from the institutional reforms in full. This affects the extent to which government ownership materializes through the course of implementation. The RRP summarized the lessons identified from prior financial sector reform projects (RRP, page 11, para. 35) on government ownership in terms of the reform agenda.
