Lesson
Utilization of the same consultant team in supporting processing of a number of maritime projects enabled an efficient means of transferring knowledge on common challenges, such as incorporation of best practices on climate change and disaster resilience into project design. The TA facilitated policy dialogue amongst the DMCs, leading to development of several projects that were incorporated in the respective country partnership strategies.

Lesson
The TA project was consistent with ADB’s country operations business plan (2015–2017) and government’s Sixth Five-Year Plan (2011–2015). However, on the design part, the TA project could have assessed the feasibility of the scope before their inclusion in the TA output, such as the possibility of the solar irrigation pumps. Such due diligence could have avoided changes in the output 1 activities during the implementation period. Output 5: inventory of mini-grid sites could have been linked to the ensuing project. The TA lacked the social mobilization, training and start up support.

The TA showed the importance of formulating an outcome that is the direct and immediate result of the project outputs. Government acceptance at a fairly distant date of the project’s policy recommendations as an indicator of outcome achievement was over ambitious, and the outcome itself of actual improvement of the public sector compensation system was dependent on many (often political) factors far beyond the control of an ADB TA.

Strong demand from CAREC for similar TA projects is confirmed in annual TSCC meetings and there is also potential demand from South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) countries and other DMCs for similar TA projects which are being discussed in road safety workshops and conferences. The coordination of activities of this TA with relevantinternational development agencies, agencies in CAREC member countries, civil society and other stakeholders to avoid overlapping and to maximize the effectiveness of the project can be replicated in other TA projects.

Lesson
Kazpost was just one example of many unsuccessful ADB attempts in non-sovereign lending to Kazakhstan state owned enterprises from 2005–2010. The TA team (Central and West Asia Department/ Kazakhstan Resident Mission) and PSOD should have worked more closely in preparing the ensuing loan. Subsequently, enhanced collaboration of PSOD and Central and West Asia Department [was] further established, which resulted in the first loan to a state-owned enterprise, Samruk Energo, in 2017.
