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.

Replication: Within ADB, the SDCD cost center has been established to develop GCF project proposals. Scaling up: It would require additional project preparation facilities, trust fund resources, and climate TA projects alongside ADB projects. Skills within SDCD have been developed but continue to rely on TA consultant support for implementation. The TCR, thus, recommended for a way forward.
