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.

Closer attention to the linkages (or the theory of change) between the provision of infrastructure and the resulting changes in social behavior and development outcomes may have been a more useful basis for project M&E, i.e., what were the behavior changes and could they be observed in project and non-project towns? This lesson applies more broadly to infrastructure projects that identify high level social outcomes and explicit behavior change for their longer-term success.

This validation adds that data availability (of income and non-income variables at the village and district levels), costs in time and resources, and simplicity of application tend to play a greater role in determining the actual targeting mechanism used; it is therefore important to allocate resources to ensure that a project’s targeting mechanism has these elements. This validation adds the following lessons: (i) BRI appreciated the presence of third-party providers of intermediation services to SHGs (given BRI’s insufficient experience with non-collateralized loans).

There is a need to ensure a better coordination between the sovereign and nonsovereign operations in ADB so that the two sets of operations can operate in the country in a seamless manner. This is especially important in view of the enhanced role of nonsovereign operations under Strategy 2020 in a high middle income country such as Kazakhstan.

In addition, this validation emphasizes that institutional capacity building is critical in monitoring and evaluating the project. Policymakers need to be able to monitor the results and impact of the intervention in order to track the success of a reform project. ADB should continue working with the government to support the education sector reforms in Uzbekistan.
