Lesson
The TCR lesson is well developed. Implementing a potentially replicable small-scale TA with a limited number of DMCs can set the stage for cost_x005F_x0002_effective replication in other countries. This model developed under this TA is likely replicable to help build capacityin other DMCs.

Lesson
A lesson could have been suggested on the relevance of sharing the knowledge created with other ADB member countries

Project Number: 48377-001
Project Name: Financing Public-Private Partnerships
Report Date:
Lesson
A related point here is that knowledge products dissemination activities with purposively identified audience are critical to knowledge transfer and capacity development. In this regard, the TCR could have looked into the underlying reason for the no preparation or submission of the policy brief, and no conduct of the final dissemination event. In so doing, potential lessons and operational learning could be identified to benefit future policy and advisory TAs.

Project Number: 48460-001
Project Name: Promoting the Decisive Role of Market in Resource Allocation
Report Date:
Lesson
Agree. The TCR could have identified the study findings that would be more realistically relevant and useful to other ADB member countries. Given the PRC’s unique institutional and policy environment, it is likely that the study findings on the reform of monopolized industries and promotion of private sector development could be of greater value to other member countries than the reform of SOEs and labor market.

TCR did not include a lesson for this criterion, however, a relevant lesson can be found in the Follow_x005F_x0002_up Actions section: “To build upon the achievements of the project, a new KSTA [knowledge and support technical assistance] on Deepening Understanding of Macroeconomic Fluctuations in Developing Member Countries for Improved Economic Assessment was approved on 21 June 2018 to further deepen understanding of macroeconomic fluctuations in DMCs for improved economic assessment.

Lesson
Replication: Within ADB, the SDCD cost center has been established to develop GCF project proposals. Scaling up: It would require additional project preparation facilities, trust fund resources, and climate TA projects alongside ADB projects. Skills within SDCD have been developed but continue to rely on TA consultant support for implementation. The TCR, thus, recommended for a way forward.
