Lesson
Relationship building by ADB with the government and other stakeholders and continuity in the team managing the TA are critical components of smooth and successful TA implementation.

The TA changed hands five times at ADB due to staff mobility.

Lesson
The TA would have benefited from having an officially designated implementing agency instead of having assigned the dual, de facto role to the executing agency—particularly one that is situated at the ministerial (State Council) level of government. The DRC, by virtue of its stature and function, would not have the capacity nor expected responsibility to supervise and monitor day-to-day TA activities at the project level. Simply assigning staff from its two departments to work with the TA team may not be the best recourse.

Lesson
Research to inform policy needs to be carefully planned and designed with a realistic scope and precise focus to achieve useful results. Research under Output 3 combined a literature review and internet search with interviews with manufacturing sector organizations in the United States and the European Union. However, the TA team had difficulty obtaining meaningful replies to advance the study. In the TA consultant report, the team acknowledged that they may have asked the wrong questions.
