Lesson
Potential scaling up of the TA may be achieved by linking with operational planning in the transport sector, particularly in upgrading road conditions in the countries to enable them to open new routes for transport liberalization.

Partnership is important particularly in TTF, where many development partners have bilateral cooperation with the countries focused on national level implementation. There is a need to make sure coordinated support is provided to ensure consistency and effectiveness with broader multilateral (World Trade Organization and World Customs Organization) and regional (ASEAN) initiatives. Where co-financing is secured, close coordination of the co-financier’s bilateral cooperation needs to be ensured.

High level political commitment and active stakeholder participation is crucial. The Ministers’ decision to meet more often (up to twice a year rather than every three years) proved an effective incentive for countries to deliver the agreed follow up, as officials needed to report positive progress in their respective countries at the ministerial meetings.

More engagement of local experts is needed plus technical training from and exchanges with lead experts on relevant common/local issues. This will also support intensified activities and follow up at national and subnational levels.

Lesson
The key outputs in GMS TTF involve market liberalization and preferential treatment, e.g. exchange of traffic rights, resulting from negotiations between GMS Transport Ministers. As such, while engaging a lead expert to supervise various inputs to the implementation was effective at a technical level, intensive involvement of ADB staff is still required for policy dialogue at senior and ministerial levels in the GMS countries.

Lesson
Given the multisectoral nature of TTF (i.e. it requires various areas of expertise such as transport, agriculture, trade and trade facilitation), the implementation arrangements of such TA require stronger coordination among and between sectors. Implementation requires coordination at national, subnational and subregional levels, with enhanced involvement of ADB resident missions as needed.

Lesson
While TTF covers a large number of issues, the attempt in subproject 1 to design a single TA to cover all aspects lead to a lack of balance and feasible progress across all outputs. Subproject 2 narrowed the focus based on the mid-term review of subproject 1 (i.e. traffic rights exchange and customs transit issues) for more feasible progress in line with the GMS member country positions.

Our TA had specific criteria for selection of the three DMCs, as per paragraph 14 of the TA report (https://www.adb.org/projects/docu ments/implementing-ict- tools-data_x005F_x0002_collection-and-management_x005F_x0002_national-surveys-sdg-tar). The selection process was therefore open to all DMCs, and the process was more demand driven.

Online training courses or MOOC that allow students free access and unrestricted participation are an efficient way to disseminate information on the platforms and methodologies used in the project. MOOC also is an effective way to reach out to more students than in_x005F_x0002_person workshops and can reduce per- capita costs.

NSOs should also be more generally supported in future TAs to train more enumerators and supervisors on how to use tablets on a quarterly basis so that they are familiar and comfortable with using technology. This is particularly true for older enumerators who may be less comfortable with navigating through technology but, given their experience, are excellent at their job of collecting data.

Training a reserve set of enumerators on the use of CAPI is vital in the successful implementation of the CAPI survey. If the core set of enumerators are unable to work due to illness, family emergency or other reasons, having reserve enumerators prevents the disruption of survey activities.

The CAPI questionnaire design will impact the overall survey and post_x005F_x0002_survey activities such as datacleaning, validation, and processing. A survey pre-test is encouraged before the actual field implementation.

Support in the form of advanced capacity building activities and provision of equipment is instrumental for scale up and replication of TA activities in any country. The pilot implementation of CAPI-related activities in Lao PDR, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam enabled the three implementing agencies to adopt CAPI in their upcoming surveys and censuses. Furthermore, with rapid advancement in technology and internet connectivity, the possibility of piloting other novel forms of data collection such as web-based, SMS-based and Interactive Voice Response surveys increases.

Continue the partnership with other international agencies like FAO so as not to duplicate work being done in the pilot DMCs. Sharing of resources with other agencies would also lead to an expansion of benefits to more DMCs, as witnessed within this TA.
