Lesson
In designing the design and monitoring frameworks (DMFs) for the COVID-19 Pandemic Response Option (CPRO), the approach was to extract aspects of the government's response plan that reflected ADB priorities and offered points of engagement with the government, and to restrict the number of indicators and targets so as not to burden the government. However, an unintended consequence is that this can weaken the logic and evidence base of the DMF, making it difficult to satisfactorily demonstrate the achievement of the program outcome.

Lesson
A holistic approach to program design and formulation. The SPBL was developed in close consultation with the government and development partners, including the IMF and the World Bank, and it was designed through a holistic approach. The SPBL demonstrated that a comprehensive and holistic consultation process can ensure effective diagnosis of the issues, leading to a strong, relevant policy matrix that prioritizes reform measures and sets realistic timelines in collaboration with the development partners.

Lesson
Implementation of reform agenda. Many public resource management reforms related to taxes or concessions, as in the SPBL, have political and economic implications and are often difficult to undertake without strong ownership. The SPBL implementation success resided in (i) a good understanding of the vested interests, (ii) the institutional capacity of government agencies, (iii) effective partnership and coordination between ADB and the government, and (iv) a strong sense of appreciation for the overall benefits of the program.
