Lesson
Suggested lesson: Approval of the proposed establishment of a center (the project outcome) was given first immediately before the project closure. Limited support from the government constrained the approval of the proposal to establish the KKC-IWRM. Hence, the staff faced increasing pressure to have it approved before the project closed. Nonetheless, the approval came on 17 September 2019, just before the project closure.

Lesson
Agreed. A large turn-out from all the Pacific DMCs at the workshop, including finance ministries and maritime and aviation authorities culminated in strong ownership and commitment to delivering new projects. Regional workshops are an affective mechanism for soliciting stakeholder participation in the Pacific and can culminate in strong ownership and commitment to delivering new projects.

This is a description of what was done, not a lesson for a future TA project. This validation offers the following lesson: Active engagement with appropriate stakeholders adds value to TA project outputs and ADB standing as convener and facilitator.

Agreed. A useful lesson is the importance of partnerships with the client to ensure buy-in and follow through, and to tailor to additional capacity building demands from the DMCs

A lesson statement would be: It is critical to retain flexibility in the development of a regional assistance program's portfolio of interventions through a dynamic prioritization of work to respond to changes in country-specific priorities and manage demands and expectations in evolving political and development contexts.

Another lesson could be that regional conferences and study tours can also be a useful way to engage stakeholders, rather than relying on a one-way flow of information through dissemination of knowledge products.

The validation agrees with the TCR lesson on the importance of building ownership of in-country stakeholders.

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.

Project Name: Export- and Innovation-Led Industrial Development
Report Date:
Lesson
The TCR found that close interaction between DMC stakeholders and climate finance providers was essential to create buy-in from all parties. The TCR did not provide evidence or data to support the level of adoption or commitment to TA efforts, or other evidence of continuing action and sustainability after TA completion.

Lesson
The way the lesson was formulated in the TCR could be improved (it is stated more like an issue rather than lesson learned). But lessons can be inferred that addressing reputational risk and additional costs for meeting green bonds requirements, ensuring a certain level of market maturity, and establishing clear regulations by market regulators are necessary conditions to the successful attainment of the TA objectives.

Project Name: Promoting Green Local Currency-Denominated Bonds for Infrastructure Development in ASEAN+3
Report Date:
Lesson
Based on further information provided by ERCD, understanding the additional costs (beyond external review fees) would help in identifying the reasons why there was no second-round issuance (which affects reputation if green status is lost) even though issuers have already invested heavily to establish proper internal system to monitor use of proceeds and provide post-issuance reporting.

Lesson
PRIF partner and stakeholder involvement and participation in PRIF activities, including attendance at SWG coordination meetings or support to the 51 subprojects’ implementation committees. Among the key challenges met was the wide range of assistance expectations from the PRIF partners and the stakeholders and the reconciliation of those expectations with the available PRIF CO resources. This was achieved through the dynamic “management committee/SWG” driven work prioritization mechanism.

Lack of information related to sensitivity of data led to change in research locations for pilot projects. Thus, it is important for a TA design to determine if data collection might be subject to any sensitivity (confidentiality restriction).

The final approval of the concept on the establishment of KKC-IWRM was made on 17 September 2019 before the TA’s completion at considerable effort from the staff and with limited support from the government.
