Lesson
External NDF cofinancing and GCF climate finance partnerships were referenced here, and lessons provided were very broad, and not supported by evidence in the TCR. Internal ADB partnerships were not mentioned in the TCR, which would be important for encouraging broader adoption and sustainability of respective DMCs’ TA efforts via the country dialogue processes.

Close exchange with the GCF Secretariat as well as with other multilateral development banks and development partners accredited to the GCF has been helpful for understanding the investment criteria of climate financiers. The TA benefited from cofinancing by the NDF which was mobilized during TA implementation.
