Lesson
TA design gave the IAs primary responsibility for executing and monitoring the TA activities. This helped foster strong government ownership and buy-in.

Project Number: 48006-001
Project Name: Improving Efficiency in Public Service Procurement, Delivery, and Financing
Report Date:
Lesson
The TA addressed the significant complexity and highly dynamic evolution of the external climate finance landscape and mechanisms such as the GCF, and the challenges and barriers faced by DMCs to identify and develop priority projects which deliver against national climate and development priorities as well as the investment criteria of external climate finance providers. Overall, there remains a strong rationale for ADB to step up innovative approaches in climate finance, and support to DMCs for accessing climate finance both from its own as well as external climate finance sources.

Lesson
It is very important to reach consensus on TA design and planning between ADB and the EA for the TA. Considering that the draft concept paper submitted by the EA was too broad and comprehensive to be undertaken, the resident mission suggested the TA should focus on one or two areas to be reformed urgently. After several rounds of discussion, consensus was reached on the TA design and planning.
