Lesson
Although interesting, this lesson learned does not provide a learning opportunity for future TAs. A more specific lesson could be that outputs delivered can provide a base for future interventions to build on, such as this TA’s trade portal, which is a tool to support investors and exporters.

Project Number: 48040-001
Project Name: Export- and Innovation-Led Industrial Development
Report Date:
Lesson
In finalizing this validation report, SAOD elaborated on an open and flexible design in project implementation. It is a suitable solution to accommodating DMCs’ requests for climate change–related capacity building activities in line with project objectives.

Lesson
This is a useful lesson learned. Ensuring a clear implementation structure and limiting the number of implementing agencies help avoid implementation delays and changes to outputs.

Lesson
This lesson learned is too broad to be able to provide guidance for other projects. A more specific lessoncould be that a strong support from the implementing agency is critical for increased stakeholder commitment, which contributes to the achievement of the TA’s outputs.

Lesson
Demonstration of the benefits of the tools (such as the time and efficiency improvements from the SARD RS-GIS) can usefully encourage their wider uptake.

Lesson
Ensuring that design of the TA aligns with the ADB’s strategic regional efforts is important in helping to contribute to longer-term sustainable results. The DMFs could cross-reference these areas of alignment.

Lesson
Institutional capacity building and successful demonstration of pilots provide a strong foundation for scaling up efforts to mainstream climate adaptation and/or mitigation into national policies and programs. This also requires supportive national institutional leadership and streamlined coordination to sustain outcomes.

Lesson
Additionally, this validation notes that feasible technical solutions that support national needs are critical to getting buy-in and ownership. For instance, some of the final reports for Bangladesh and Bhutan were produced in collaboration with national partners. It is missing from the TCR a description of the issues that led to including the DMF’s third outcome indicator in the DMF, or to managing lessons arising from a substantial increase in budget mid-way through implementation.

Lesson
SAOD added the importance of recognizing country processes in project management. Recognizing in-country protocols is crucial to working together successfully with partner national agencies.

Lesson
The use of different dissemination pathways (such as trainings, workshops, seminars) is critical for sharing and transferring knowledge to external partners and can help to stimulate wider interest as these are placed in the public domain (downloads are trackable, and can serve as a proxy for wider interest). Within the ADB sharing tools and knowledge, particularly when they relate across sectors, these can help promote uptake of more efficient models that can contribute to institutional efficiency.

Lesson
This is more of a description of achievements than a lesson learned. A more specific lesson could be that outputs delivered for one sector can also be applied to other sectors, thus providing lessons learned among different sectors and resulting in cost savings.

Project Name: Export- and Innovation-Led Industrial Development
Report Date:
Lesson
The TCR identified two findings, not lessons: first, engagement with strategic national partners was beneficial, and second, flexibility in output 2’s design enabled the TA to respond to national stakeholder priorities during implementation through consultative workshops with national stakeholders

Lesson
This is a useful lesson learned. The lesson could have benefitted from specifying which outputs should have been grouped together under separate TA projects.

Lesson
In finalizing this validation report, SAOD revised the lesson in the TCR and highlighted that considering country context in designing activities is important. Identifying in-country activities requires close collaboration with concerned national government agencies, and building upon similar past and current initiatives or mechanisms.

Project Name: Action on Climate Change in South Asia
Report Date:
Lesson
The TCR noted that gaining the full cooperation of national agencies was important. The in-country governance arrangements, including the working groups and steering committee, played an important role in providing a steer, facilitating access, and reviewing outputs.
