Lesson
ADB’s contribution to development may be unknown where ADB branding is not publicly visible to stakeholders. ICT equipment, science laboratories, and other physical infrastructure provided under the project were not accompanied by ADB branding (plaques, stickers, etc.). This approach is inconsistent with current practice among development partners and diminishes the visibility of ADB’s positive contributions to development.

Where ADB is recognized as the lead development partner in a sector ADB is often well placed to support the partner government with formal development partner coordination in that sector. ADB has been the lead development partner in the Mongolia education sector since 1996, and as such is well placed to support the government to recommence education sector development partner coordination.

Lesson
A project will be more successful if it demonstrates flexibility to meet the needs of stakeholders. In the case of the evaluated project, the decision to delay procurement of an off-the-shelf education sector information system (ESIS) and explore options to build the system resulted in an ESIS that is delivering lasting benefits to Mongolia— above and beyond government and ADB expectations. Although this decision delayed the project and impacted the efficiency of the investment, it contributed to a sound development outcome and a lasting impact.

Lesson
Limiting the number of policy actions and reform areas could help to tighten future policy-based loans and adopt deeper policy actions. It would also allow sufficient time to implement the attached TA effectively, further strengthening potential impact. The program included a large number of policy actions, spread over five different reform areas, and some of its policy actions lacked the depth required to bring about structural change.

Lesson
A policy-based loan needs a clearly articulated policy matrix and performance indicators with direct linkages to the design and monitoring framework (DMF) to allow results to be attributed to policy actions. In many instances, it was difficult to attribute reported achievements to policy actions supported by the program. This affected the understanding of the program’s effectiveness. The results chain of a policy-based loan should be explicitly presented in the project documents and the DMF indicators should fully reflect intended outcomes of the selected policy actions.

Lesson
Results-based lending may be more suitable than policy-based lending for sector-wide approach, as they require a broad range of interventions implemented step by step and with appropriate incentives. When the program was approved, results-based lending was not yet available at ADB. The decision to opt for a policy-based lending modality was adequate, as it was the most suitable modality available at the time. However, the School Sector Reform Plan involved different types of initiatives, ranging from policy reforms to specific ground-level interventions.
