Lesson
Strong government commitment and leadership is critical to the implementation of reforms. In this project, this enabled the successful implementation of policy actions and reforms agreed under the post-program partnership framework (P3F). The single-tranche, stand-alone modality combined with the P3F was useful in bridging a period of high uncertainty, continuing and building on reforms from the previous programmatic approach while providing flexibility to reflect the new government’s priorities in a follow-on medium-term reform program.

A combination of policy-based lending (PBL) and technical assistance (TA) engagement, based on ADB's differentiated approach in small island developing states (SIDS), can further enhance the impact of ADB assistance to public sector management in Fiji. The design of this reflected ADB's differentiated approach in SIDS, spreading reforms across complementary areas and government units while combining policy actions that introduce or advance policy and legal frameworks with those that support their implementation.

Continuous and consistent technical assistance (TA) is crucial to the successful implementation of reform programs and sustainability of the reform process. This program is built on the long-term engagement of ADB and development partners in Fiji. It therefore benefited from extensive TA in public sector management, reforms introduced through the previous PBL, and project investments in the water and energy sectors.

It is problematic to use a country's overall position in the Doing Business report to monitor progress in improving the business environment and overall competitiveness. The report has been subject to criticism and methodological problems have been identified. Its usefulness for monitoring progress in similar programs lies more in monitoring the country's performance over time - particularly in indicators that are not sensitive to the representative case used by the World Bank team - rather than measuring progress against other economies.
