Lesson
Additionally, this validation notes that feasible technical solutions that support national needs are critical to getting buy-in and ownership. For instance, some of the final reports for Bangladesh and Bhutan were produced in collaboration with national partners. It is missing from the TCR a description of the issues that led to including the DMF’s third outcome indicator in the DMF, or to managing lessons arising from a substantial increase in budget mid-way through implementation.

The TCR noted that the approach of aligning with existing collaborative partnerships, and of building on similar initiatives, contributed to successful implementation. In fact, this is standard practice for ADB’s engagement with DMCs due to its official bearings. Instead, the TCR could have drawn out a lesson on how this was specific to a regional TA.

One of the delays of the TA was due to KEGOC’s changing major assumptions of the transmission planning system model, which required redesign and simulation analyses. This highlights the importance of the Consultant’s communicating the importance of determining the client’s model assumptions clearly, considering upcoming/planned changes to transmission assets and anticipated changes to power and capacity trading arrangements.

Lesson
One of the delays of the TA was caused by DIgSILENT’s waiting for the Ministry of Energy to provide locations for potential renewable energy generation sources by region. The Ministry of Energy was preoccupied at the time with other pressing issues. The flagging of upcoming input requirements from partners well in advance will enable them to plan and allocate adequate resources to the task, as well as give them opportunity to identify issues with the Consultant’s expected delivery schedule and make necessary adjustments.

Lesson
Previously, other development agencies tried to introduce modern power system planning tools in Central Asia, but all of them failed. Such technically complex systems are used by multiple departments of the system operator. From a sustainability perspective, it is important to identify the most suitable system, and allocate sufficient resources for user licenses and training activities.
