Lesson
A single, government-led policy matrix can enhance coordination and collaboration amongst development partners. The Joint Policy Reform Matrix has evolved into a highly consultative process around which development partners coordinate their budget support and technical assistance for reform. This process has helped the partners speak with one voice to the government and has created a situation in which line ministries actively compete to have reforms listed in the Joint Policy Reform Matrix.

Lesson
Limited but meaningful policy actions. In a single-tranche operation, those reforms selected for development-partner support should be few in number but large in potential impact. Technical assistance support should be available at program commencement. They should be clearly defined, widely owned, and have time-bound milestones that trigger financial support, either by ADB or by other partners supporting the government-led reform effort.
