The approach to risk assessment and risk management should be consistent across programs. Risk assessments should include the individual risk and its risk level before mitigation, the mitigation strategies and resultant risk to each risk and to the overall risk after mitigation. The PCR template should also allow for discussion on risk to explicitly consider whether the risk mitigation strategies had been successful.

Lesson
Recommendations need to be clear on what should be done, by which agency and if possible in what time frame, and should show whether the program managers agree or disagree. This allows for any follow-up to be well-targeted on where improvements should have been made. It also allows the public to determine the quality of the recommendation when the report is published on the ADB website. (iii) Where it is available, the use of country information such as audit reports (both internal audit and external audit) can provide an alternative perspective on the success of the program.

It is problematic to use a country's overall position in the Doing Business report to monitor progress in improving the business environment and overall competitiveness. The report has been subject to criticism and methodological problems have been identified. Its usefulness for monitoring progress in similar programs lies more in monitoring the country's performance over time - particularly in indicators that are not sensitive to the representative case used by the World Bank team - rather than measuring progress against other economies.

Implementation of institutional reforms under the program was more effective and efficient when there was an adequate and detailed blueprint with clear and measurable results indicators, as well as where project-type implementation arrangements were in place to facilitate the change process (e.g., the business registration system or the new inspection process for tax administration were supported by detailed blueprints and financed through investment projects). The $2.9 million grant approved under the program cluster was thus very useful.
