Lesson
Trust funds and cofinancing can play a crucial role in supporting innovation and high-level technology transfer, which may not happen without such support due to limited ADB internal TA funding. Therefore, it is important that project teams pay more attention to effectively promote visibility and raise awareness of cofinancier contribution and support to ADB TAs and projects.

Lesson
Apart from offering concessional interest rates,ADB and China National Investment and Guaranty Corporation (I&G) could explore providing enhanced value-added services for ongoing and future financial intermediation loan initiatives in air quality improvement or climate change programs. The global economic slowdown dampened enthusiasm for green investments, while the rise in euro interest rates and the reduction of yuan lending rates since 2022 presented additional challenges for green financing eligible subprojects within the greater Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region.

Lesson
The selection of appropriate project financing modality (through feasible project design) in line with country capacities is a crucial factor in achieving complex project objectives and overall project success. Availability of financing that is time-bound, such as multitranche financing facilities or sector lending puts the onus on the counterpart government to ensure project readiness from its side.

Demonstrating the success of pilots can help governments to take further scaled up action.

Project Number: 41613-012
Project Name: Integrated Renewable Energy Development
Report Date:
Lesson
The readiness and capacity of the wider ecosystem matters. Hence, PPTA’s should also consider local supply chains and other supporting infrastructure that are vital for ensuring that pilots are replicable, scalable, and sustainable.

This is more of a description of the new phase of PRIF than a lesson or recommendation identified from the completed phase.

Project Number: 46500-001
Project Name: Establishment of the Pacific Regional Infrastructure Facility Coordination Office
Report Date:
Lesson
Institutional capacity building and successful demonstration of pilots provide a strong foundation for scaling up efforts to mainstream climate adaptation and/or mitigation into national policies and programs. This also requires supportive national institutional leadership and streamlined coordination to sustain outcomes.

Project Name: SASEC Subregional Energy Efficiency Initiative
Report Date:
Lesson
Complex undertakings like a regional energy information system and database are better suited for a different form of TA than a small-scale CDTA.

Project Number: 45419-001
Project Name: SASEC Subregional Energy Efficiency Initiative
Report Date:
Lesson
Replication of the TA initiative in other regions with untapped cross-border resources in the energy sector or other sectors, can open new opportunities for development, cooperation, and expansion.

Project Name: Fostering the Development of Renewable Energy
Report Date:
Lesson
For a policy and advisory TA targeting a particular sector/industry, it is very important that practitioners and stakeholders in the related sector/industry are engaged through knowledge-sharing and capacity building events, whereby positive experience and good practices on the ground the TA identified can be replicated and potentially scaled up in the sector/industry.
