Lesson
Consultants’ terms of reference should be based on milestone deliverables (final reports, surveys, workshops/training events, and others) submitted officially to ADB and executing agency/implementing agency, and not time-based contracts. To ensure the quality of milestone deliverables, it is useful to have an effective mechanism established as part of the TA design to ensure a critical review process of the deliverables and require the consultants to rework unsatisfactory deliverables at no or limited additional costs.

The development of knowledge products is insufficient to build capacity and support uptake of findings by partners. Using appropriate dissemination pathways is important in engaging relevant stakeholders and decision makers to adopt the key messages. The main dissemination pathways for the JCC case study and the three CBM reports seem to be through presentations to relevant authorities and targeted training activities to strengthen awareness, institutional capacity, standards, and policies.
