Lesson
It is important that the TA is appropriately designed to support the delivery of expected outputs and that it is implemented in a timely manner. The program demonstrated the role of a well-designed TA in supporting completion of reforms across the three subprograms and building capacity of the implementing agency. It is also essential that the timing of activities is aligned with the sequencing of policy actions so as not to undermine the achievement of outputs.

Lesson
The continuous longer-term involvement of the same mission leader and other qualified ADB staff from the design stage until the end of implementation of the three subprograms is important to the success of this program. Familiarity with local institutional challenges and personnel in the government is important for a complex reform program such as this one to achieve progress.

Lesson
The importance of a comprehensive strategic framework that broadens and deepens financial inclusion based on robust diagnostics and analytical work. The rationale for reform and policy actions are to be drawn from these diagnostics, and actions are prioritized and sequenced in addressing the constraints and bottlenecks. Regulatory constraints, institutional capacity limitations, deficiencies in technology infrastructure, and extent of financial literacy need to be clearly identified and assessed based on the analytical work.

Lesson
This validation offers the following lesson: although TA design may identify a particular model of consultancy, these needs may evolve during the program requiring adjustment. In this case, in developing a model that responded to the needs of ACMF’s working group on corporate governance, the TA project shifted its approach since the regulators felt that an audit firm (rather than consultants) would lend more credibility and recognition to the validation exercise.
