Lesson
The participation of various stakeholders was important to the success of the TA to achieve a good understanding of the outputs and outcome and have consensus on the TA’s progress and achievement. The TA actively facilitated various stakeholders’ participation through workshops, seminars, and consultation meetings from project design to project implementation stage. The major stakeholders who participated were government officials of related ministries, agencies at state and local level, municipalities, water user’s associations and NGOs.

Project Number: 46257-001
Project Name: Strengthening Integrated Water Resources Management in Mountainous River Basins
Report Date:
Lesson
A total of 50 manuals, guidelines, reports and regional knowledge product developed by the TA can be utilized to replicate the TA’s RBO’s activities in other river basins with customization as needed. Moreover, the WWSIS (online database system) was designed and developed to be easily expandable to other river basins in Bhutan. It is an excellent practice for future replication and scaling up of activities.

Lesson
Having a combination of various types of reports, workshops and communication tools/approaches was effective and efficient for project management. ADB staff managed the TA consultants appropriately through an inception mission (in December 2016), interim/review missions (three times in August 2017, May 2018 and February 2019), various reports (Inception, Interim and Final reports, Quarterly Progress Reports) and frequent communication via email.

Project Name: Prevention and Control of Avian Influenza in Asia and the Pacific
Report Date:
Lesson
The project supported the One Health concept, which emphasizes the links between animal health and human health and emerging animal and human diseases. One Health provided a platform for unprecedented integration of animal, human and ecosystem health issues to fight the threat of avian influenza. The systematic collaboration of technical agencies across disciplines, such as FAO (veterinarians) and WHO (medical doctors) and civil society organizations (community health workers) supported by the project has promoted this concept since the beginning of the project.

ADB's high-level steering committee demonstrated ADB's institutional support, which enhanced coordination between development partners. The committee, comprising the heads of all regional departments and the Strategy and Policy Department and chaired by the director general of RSDD, provided prompt policy guidance and expedited decisions and actions. It also ensured that the needs of the countries were ascertained and that they had adequate access to project resources.

Lesson
ADB was able to use its convening power effectively because it had the necessary in-house technical expertise. Public health experts on ADB's staff with knowledge of emerging infectious diseases were involved in designing and implementing the project. This in-house expertise made the dialogue with the technical and regional agencies to strengthen regional collaboration within and across the animal health and human health sectors possible.

Lesson
Each new outbreak of disease confronts projects such as this one, as well as the implementing partners and global community, with a fresh challenge, because its early spread outpaces the gathering of scientific evidence needed to formulate containment policies. Each successive outbreak is followed by an initial opaque period characterized by a frustrating lack of scientific evidence on which to base policies and technical guidance.

Lesson
The rapid launch and accelerated implementation of the project made necessary by the threat that avian influenza would become a pandemic made it difficult to define verifiable indicators for a number of the outputs under the regional capacity building and regional coordination components. A mid-term review of the project would have facilitated a review and updating of the design and monitoring framework.
