Lesson
The participation of various stakeholders was important to the success of the TA to achieve a good understanding of the outputs and outcome and have consensus on the TA’s progress and achievement. The TA actively facilitated various stakeholders’ participation through workshops, seminars, and consultation meetings from project design to project implementation stage. The major stakeholders who participated were government officials of related ministries, agencies at state and local level, municipalities, water user’s associations and NGOs.

Lesson
Surveys of beneficiary perceptions of the quality of outputs (such as plans, reports, workshops, training, and other communications) should be included in the design of the TA project. It is difficult to say much about the quality of outputs and their potential contribution to targeted outcomes without such feedback. The development of easily accessible awareness-raising materials targeting decision makers in other river basins who are involved or interested in IWRM and RBO activities is a useful alternative to highly technical publications.

Lesson
Having a combination of various types of reports, workshops and communication tools/approaches was effective and efficient for project management. ADB staff managed the TA consultants appropriately through an inception mission (in December 2016), interim/review missions (three times in August 2017, May 2018 and February 2019), various reports (Inception, Interim and Final reports, Quarterly Progress Reports) and frequent communication via email.

ADB’s missions were effective in ensuring that the TA design/plan was in line with three governments’ needs, and also helped facilitate the three governments’ participation and ownership of the TA. During the TA project design and planning stage, ADB had two consultation and fact_x005F_x0002_finding missions in Bhutan and one consultation and fact-finding mission each in Afghanistan and Nepal.

Lesson
A total of 50 manuals, guidelines, reports and regional knowledge product developed by the TA can be utilized to replicate the TA’s RBO’s activities in other river basins with customization as needed. Moreover, the WWSIS (online database system) was designed and developed to be easily expandable to other river basins in Bhutan. It is an excellent practice for future replication and scaling up of activities.
