Lesson
Sufficient financial management expertise in the ADB project team and missions is necessary to ensure appropriate financial reporting, according to ADB requirements. In addition to these project-level lessons, mainstreaming the formulation of the GAP into all energy access projects, with sufficient attention and support, enhances project impact through measurable changes for women.
