Project Number: 47286-001
Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
Lesson
This section in the TCR presents several findings including that increased readiness for finance access is different from the actual capacity to access finance and is highly context-specific to the type of project for which finance is required, the sources of finance being tapped, and individual DMC priorities and circumstances—this is a generalizable lesson in planning and relates to having some degree of flexibility to adapt to the evolving context given that this is a new area of work for the ADB as well as the DMCs.

Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
Lesson
External NDF cofinancing and GCF climate finance partnerships were referenced here, and lessons provided were very broad, and not supported by evidence in the TCR. Internal ADB partnerships were not mentioned in the TCR, which would be important for encouraging broader adoption and sustainability of respective DMCs’ TA efforts via the country dialogue processes.

Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
Lesson
Early engagement with ADB project teams to frame projects as climate relevant, as well as early engagement with external climate finance providers facilitated mobilization of timely resources—this lesson on early and proactive engagement is generalizable for implementation and delivery. Although it may be inferred, no clear evidence is provided for the value added of promoting knowledge exchange among DMCs.

Lesson
The TCR mentioned the usefulness of a flexible approach to drafting consultant’s terms of reference such that they are broad based—this is a generalizable lesson in managing staff and consultant resources, and useful in the context of limited availability of climate finance specialists.

Project Number: 47286-001
Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
Lesson
The TCR found that close interaction between DMC stakeholders and climate finance providers was essential to create buy-in from all parties. The TCR did not provide evidence or data to support the level of adoption or commitment to TA efforts, or other evidence of continuing action and sustainability after TA completion.

Lesson
The TCR did not mention this dimension explicitly in the document. In-country ownership by government and/or private sector would be required to consolidate gains.
