Lesson
Staffing and consultant resources for country engagement as well as technical assistance (TA) appear still limited relative to the number of countries and the program scope. ADB’s role in coordinating and systematically addressing DRM has been strengthened through the program. The attached TA has been playing a growing role in boosting ADB capacity (including for knowledge building and sharing), and the overlap and continuity of the new TA attached to the program’s fourth phase approved in 2023 is positive.

Basic governance and project management capacity are needed for the success of institutional development projects. This first loan to a state-owned enterprise in Mongolia has demonstrated several lessons. First, having a stable and consistent governance in place within the executing agency is critical prior to pursuing reforms. Second, clarity in the legal status of the implementing agency and the applicable rules and regulations would help mitigate political risks.

Development partners should both support and take advantage of opportunities that arise when governments are committed to reform, which should also be recognized in their country programming. the government that came to office in 2018 was strongly reform-minded. Even though Armenia suffered two exogenous shocks in the form of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and conflict with a neighboring country, reform commitment did not waver. This contributed strongly to the ultimate outcome of this program.

The TCRV lessons are practical and useful for designing other TAs to support survey development and implementation. The first lesson could be improved by drawing on analysis of concrete examples under this TA (e.g., give examples of issues resolved via pilot testing the survey instrument prior to implementation).

Our TA had specific criteria for selection of the three DMCs, as per paragraph 14 of the TA report (https://www.adb.org/projects/docu ments/implementing-ict- tools-data_x005F_x0002_collection-and-management_x005F_x0002_national-surveys-sdg-tar). The selection process was therefore open to all DMCs, and the process was more demand driven.

Online training courses or MOOC that allow students free access and unrestricted participation are an efficient way to disseminate information on the platforms and methodologies used in the project. MOOC also is an effective way to reach out to more students than in_x005F_x0002_person workshops and can reduce per- capita costs.

NSOs should also be more generally supported in future TAs to train more enumerators and supervisors on how to use tablets on a quarterly basis so that they are familiar and comfortable with using technology. This is particularly true for older enumerators who may be less comfortable with navigating through technology but, given their experience, are excellent at their job of collecting data.

Training a reserve set of enumerators on the use of CAPI is vital in the successful implementation of the CAPI survey. If the core set of enumerators are unable to work due to illness, family emergency or other reasons, having reserve enumerators prevents the disruption of survey activities.

The CAPI questionnaire design will impact the overall survey and post_x005F_x0002_survey activities such as datacleaning, validation, and processing. A survey pre-test is encouraged before the actual field implementation.
