Lesson
Review of the gender action plan (GAP) should be done within a year from loan effectiveness to facilitate the enhancement of both the GAP and project implementation. GAP implementation in Viet Nam was challenged by the late recruitment of a gender consultant, which prevented the EA/IA from receiving timely capacity-building inputs and limited the opportunity of the project to improve its gender equality design and targets.

Clarity on implementation roles and responsibilities and consistent collection and monitoring of Gender-disaggregated data are key to the successful execution of the project Gender action plan (GAP). Gender trainings at inception stage provided clarity on the roles and responsibilities of consultants and implementing agency staff. The well-defined division of labor provided a strong kickstart to the implementation of the GAP. Integration of sex-disaggregated data collection into the system enabled reliable Monitoring and evaluation of GAP progress throughout the project.

Prior review of Gender targets strengthens likely outcomes. The midterm review recognized that because of the nature of construction work, positions attractive to female unskilled workers were limited. The unmet target could have been avoided if the midterm review had reviewed a priory the feasibility of the targets.

Early establishment of a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system with sex-disaggregated data collection and reporting mechanism will facilitate the implementation of the project gender action plan (GAP). The project developed and operationalized a comprehensive M&E system with sex-disaggregated data collection and reporting mechanism. This facilitated GAP implementation and necessary adjustments, especially during Phase 2 that had more gender targets.

The TCRV lessons are practical and useful for designing other TAs to support survey development and implementation. The first lesson could be improved by drawing on analysis of concrete examples under this TA (e.g., give examples of issues resolved via pilot testing the survey instrument prior to implementation).

There are strong potential welfare gains to smallholder farmers and their communities by improving access to clean energy and learning the practices and mechanisms of climate-friendly agriculture developed and encouraged by this TA. This scaling-up potential to an ever-wider diversity and number of stakeholders can be a next logical step, and require s careful consideration how the maximum number of people can be reached with the best efficacy; that is, through a combination of public, private, donor, and other resource means.

Based on further information provided by ERCD, understanding the additional costs (beyond external review fees) would help in identifying the reasons why there was no second-round issuance (which affects reputation if green status is lost) even though issuers have already invested heavily to establish proper internal system to monitor use of proceeds and provide post-issuance reporting.

Lesson
The way the lesson was formulated in the TCR could be improved (it is stated more like an issue rather than lesson learned). But lessons can be inferred that addressing reputational risk and additional costs for meeting green bonds requirements, ensuring a certain level of market maturity, and establishing clear regulations by market regulators are necessary conditions to the successful attainment of the TA objectives.

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.

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.
