Lesson
Technical assistance is usually expected in order to assist the borrower and theexecuting agency to achieve the program’s policy requirements. On the other hand, having theleverage of a relatively large amount of grant or loan funding can often provide an incentive forgovernments to institute policy measures on a timely basis when they might otherwise bedelayed or avoided due to internal resistance or inertia.

Project Name: Investment Climate Improvement Program
Report Date:
Lesson
The provisions of funds under a program loan will generally only have an immediate impact on the overall level of economic activity if a pipeline of projects is in place when the funding becomes available. This was not the case when the ERSP (economic recovery support program) subprogram 1 loan was disbursed, but the delay in capital project construction to ensure more sustainable and beneficial projects were implemented was desirable.

Lesson
Policy reforms are largely politically driven. The involvement and roles of government, stakeholders and politicians and the benefits to each party are important considerations in the design and implementation of policy-based loans. With a change in government in 2013, actions initiated under the program could have been altered, reversed or subject to delays or resistance. However, the program initiatives were fully endorsed by the new government, demonstrating that the program was well thought out and designed to transcend politics.

Execution of pilot projects is valuable for (a) assessing ease of implementation, adaptability and potential for full-scale implementation; and (b) for identifying new potential bottlenecks and areas requiring further reforms. The successful pilot testing of a new property valuation method (PVM) demonstrated the potential for substantially increasing local revenues from property taxes as anticipated, but also contributed to potential revisions of the outdated tax laws.

Carefully aligning objectives and outputs of ADB program loans with related TA can help increase effectiveness and sustainability, and ensure efficient implementation of both ADB interventions and ADB TA recommendations. By incorporating related TA deliverables into the program design, the program helped ensure high-level government commitment to policy reforms and accelerate implementation of highly relevant TA recommendations, which may otherwise not have received the same level of attention and commitment.
