Lesson
The validation agrees that this is an important lesson especially as this was a cross-cutting gender specific TA project, and especially as this Phase 2 was building on work already undertaken in Phase 1. The TA project thus potentially offers a rich set of lessons; the documentation of lessons of replication is important and could potentially inform approach to how gender can be mainstreamed or scaled up across ADB operations.

Lesson
Flexible umbrella TA projects allow for the projects to be opportunistic and take on new initiatives, but there could be implementation challenges and time delays. This also means that not all results may be known at TA project completion. For instance, the subproject on future cities was included through additional TASF resources, but this also required extension and the procurement of additional consultancy services. Although work progressed in the three pilot cities, it is not clear whether this was taken up by the respective governments by the end of the TA project.
