Lesson
Donor coordination. Strong coordination amongst development partners, notably with the Government of Australia, was essential to the program's success. Australia provided in-line advisors to support the government to implement many of the program-related reforms (e.g., within the MOF and NUC) as well as TA that complemented the program. ADB's donor coordination role also meant ADB was requested by Nauru and its development partners to assist with the crucial task of establishing a new Nauru trust fund.

Technical foundations. The program benefitted from, and integrated, a range of TA from ADB and other development partners.

Lesson
Simplification. Institutional capacity within the government remains constrained. It is essential that ADB programs are as simple as possible in clarity of the policy agenda and ease of administration. Fewer policy actions with a tighter focus on the most important measures would assist and can help to avoid dilution of focus.
