Lesson
The effectiveness of capacity development activities can be better assessed when the target population and the learning objectives are adequately defined.

Lesson
The TCR lesson is useful. Capacity development activities should look to identify opportunities to partner with other donors. This TA partnership with FAO (handbook and MOOC implementation) generated greater and more cost-effective results than would otherwise have been possible.

Lesson
MOOCs can be effective tools for reaching a large number of people for training and knowledge dissemination. However, follow-up analysis is needed to assess how participants apply the knowledge gained and assess the outcome impacts of such training.

Lesson
An additional lesson could have been that outcome indicators, which are measurable and relevant to all participating DMCs involved in a regional TA, should be identified.

Lesson
The TCRV lessons are practical and useful for designing other TAs to support survey development and implementation. The first lesson could be improved by drawing on analysis of concrete examples under this TA (e.g., give examples of issues resolved via pilot testing the survey instrument prior to implementation).

Lesson
Additional lesson could be that strong stakeholder participation and national ownership are also important from the project design stage to completion to promote TA sustainability. This TA was able to secure strong engagement from national government partners, and it appears that the participating DMCs are on their way to sustaining and scaling up the TA results.

Lesson
Analysis of any post-TA allocation (or commitment) of resources to sustain TA activities/outputs could be useful indicators of sustainability.

Lesson
The TCR lesson is appropriate but could have been more clearly worded. This lesson, for example, could have been reworded, to wit: “Effective dialogue with implementing agencies during the design stage is critical to efficient planning of activities, budgets, timelines and performance indicators.”

Useful lesson. It may have been more convincing though had the TCR included a specific example of the application of this lesson to the TA

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.

Lesson
When designing capacity development activities, implementation, and sustainability risks (e.g., staff turnover) should be assessed and risk mitigation measures identified.

Lesson
Useful lesson. It may have been more useful had the TCR included more specific information on the issue and how it impacted this TA. Also, targeted outcomes and output indicators should have been reviewed for relevance and/or practicality during implementation and formally adjusted if they were no longer appropriate

Agreed. Another useful lesson is the importance of involving clients in a hands-on manner to build a technical product and ensure the transfer of technical expertise, and the subsequent adoption or uptake

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.
