Lesson
The rationale of the TA was generally well-articulated. The TA design could have been formulated better in terms of outputs and outcome. Distinct performance indicators for outcome and outputs could have provide better opportunities to evaluate the TA results. Also, having realistic and achievable targets is crucial considering implementation realities and timeframe.

Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
Lesson
In order to have greater flexibility to respond to emerging needs of DMCs contrary to usual practice, the TA did not specify upfront what target DMCs would be included. This allowed greater responsiveness once opportunities for mobilization of climate finance became clearer.

Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
Lesson
The TA addressed the significant complexity and highly dynamic evolution of the external climate finance landscape and mechanisms such as the GCF, and the challenges and barriers faced by DMCs to identify and develop priority projects which deliver against national climate and development priorities as well as the investment criteria of external climate finance providers. Overall, there remains a strong rationale for ADB to step up innovative approaches in climate finance, and support to DMCs for accessing climate finance both from its own as well as external climate finance sources.
