Lesson
The TCR lesson is well developed. Implementing a potentially replicable small-scale TA with a limited number of DMCs can set the stage for cost_x005F_x0002_effective replication in other countries. This model developed under this TA is likely replicable to help build capacityin other DMCs.

In the TCR’s Conduct of Activities section, it mentioned: “The nowcasting study featuring Indonesia was completed and published in the ADB Economics Working Paper series in December 2015 and in Empirical Economics journal in June 2017. This tool has been used regularly by the Indonesia Resident Mission to support their growth forecasts since 2016 and has also been shared to the Fiscal Policy Agency of the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of National Development Planning of the Republic of Indonesia to enrich their suite of tools for conducting macroeconomic monitoring.

TCR did not include a lesson for this criterion, however, a relevant lesson can be found in the Follow_x005F_x0002_up Actions section: “To build upon the achievements of the project, a new KSTA [knowledge and support technical assistance] on Deepening Understanding of Macroeconomic Fluctuations in Developing Member Countries for Improved Economic Assessment was approved on 21 June 2018 to further deepen understanding of macroeconomic fluctuations in DMCs for improved economic assessment.

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.

Lesson
Agree on the need to continuously implement capacity building activities, given the rapidly changing development landscape and new emerging challenges, and to customize it to local languages for better understanding. The design of the next capacity building workshops should be informed by the feedback received from the participants from the post-training evaluation surveys conducted. It would be useful if SDCC could indicate these feedback and suggestions for future CDTA projects.

Lesson
Support in the form of advanced capacity building activities and provision of equipment is instrumental for scale up and replication of TA activities in any country. The pilot implementation of CAPI-related activities in Lao PDR, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam enabled the three implementing agencies to adopt CAPI in their upcoming surveys and censuses. Furthermore, with rapid advancement in technology and internet connectivity, the possibility of piloting other novel forms of data collection such as web-based, SMS-based and Interactive Voice Response surveys increases.

Lesson
As a consequence of this TA, a cost center has been established in SDCD, which allows ADB, inter alia, to continue to develop project proposals for submission to GCF. ADB’s Pacific Regional Department has since implemented TAs that can support the generation of climate finance proposals in conjunction with ADB projects.

Lesson
As weak capacity in revenue administrations still remain due to emerging challenges including significant and rapid changes in the business circumstances (i.e., expansion of cross-border supply chain and digitalized platform), scaling up capacity building initiatives to address these challenges will be required. The subprojects implemented by ADB regional departments should be well designed at the initial stage to improve the likelihood of success.
