Lesson
Institutional and technical capacities to effectively implement PFM reforms remain weak, and absorptive capacities remain low. This can often be further compounded by frequent changes in leadership and staffing, which can cause further delays. ADB's continued engagement with the Ministry of Finance must be at all levels of the administration (management and operational levels) to strengthen the institutional and organizational capacity and reduce the impact of staff turnover on reform impact.

Lesson
Program design and implementation in least developed (and fragile) countries need to take account of the limited administrative capacity of the government.

These deficiencies contributed to the underperformance in program outcomes.
