Lesson
Joint activities with development partners (DPs), such as collaboration in knowledge products and joint conduct of capacity-building activities, could maximize synergies and resources further. These could build on close coordination and relationships developed by this project among CAREC countries, as well with DPs which the project team strengthened through regular communication and information exchange, and by inviting the DPs to TA workshops and consultation meetings.

Lesson
Lack of communication could negatively impact engagement quality. The outbreak of COVID-19 during TA implementation affected consultant ability to engage stakeholders, government participation, and contribution by the international consultants. Despite significant efforts by the ADB resident mission and the consultants, communication between the ADB team and MOFALI were sometimes dependent on consultants, which reduced the quality of engagement.

Trust funds and cofinancing can play a crucial role in supporting innovation and high-level technology transfer, which may not happen without such support due to limited ADB internal TA funding. Therefore, it is important that project teams pay more attention to effectively promote visibility and raise awareness of cofinancier contribution and support to ADB TAs and projects.

Lesson
Strong community support is better assured through collaboration with local groups. Even in baghs (subdistricts) where shelters were not constructed, community support was strong because of the BNGs established by the project. Community ties nurtured through the BNGs have resulted in knowledge exchange, responsibility-sharing among the herders, and efficient use of BNG revolving funds and disaster risk reduction equipment and tools. BNGs organized various activities that benefited the whole community, such as road repairs and fence-building new fences.

Small-scale infrastructure can have an added value. The construction of livestock shelters and wells increased agricultural production and reduced livestock losses for many households. The results of this activity inspired other BNGs to build disaster-resilient infrastructure using their own resources. During the project completion review fieldwork missions, local residents expressed gratitude and gave positive feedback on the benefits they received.

Adequate public awareness and successful demonstration of the benefits from projects facilitate the replication of these projects or components thereof. Soil pollution and pit latrine issues were not well addressed and discussed before project inception. The project created a large impact through awareness raising and by demonstrating the highly beneficial project outcome in Mongolia. Buttressed by a participatory approach, the project has helped bring about notable shifts in government focus and household outlook towards human waste management and soil pollution issues.
