Lesson
Activities that could be replicated in other portfolio improvement support operations are high-level policy dialogue with government through the 6-Banks, particularly in the areas of sharing international best practices to improve ODA performance and providing advice on the formulation of draft laws and decrees related to ODA management

Project Number: 48183-001
Project Name: Improving Portfolio Performance and Aid Management
Report Date:
Lesson
The TA outputs were partially met and the intended outcome was not achieved. This is because efforts to improve project readiness were constrained by the ODA regulatory framework. The Procurement Law inhibits procurement readiness because it requires “secured funding” before the procurement plan is approved, which is interpreted by executing/implementing agencies that ADB loans must be declared effective before they can launch ADB-financed procurement.

The TA design that is fully aligned with the operational plan priorities and structure, as well as the thematic group workplan, has made the TA implementation and monitoring smooth, as this can be done in conjunction with the overall operational plan monitoring and reporting.

Lesson
Documenting the replication experience is crucial. Part of the TA fund was successfully used for replicating and scaling up the existing models (e.g., ethnic minority women-led community road maintenance, integration of domestic violence survivor shelters in urban projects) and the experience has been turned into useful knowledge products.

ADB’s missions were effective in ensuring that the TA design/plan was in line with three governments’ needs, and also helped facilitate the three governments’ participation and ownership of the TA. During the TA project design and planning stage, ADB had two consultation and fact_x005F_x0002_finding missions in Bhutan and one consultation and fact-finding mission each in Afghanistan and Nepal.

Lesson
A total of 50 manuals, guidelines, reports and regional knowledge product developed by the TA can be utilized to replicate the TA’s RBO’s activities in other river basins with customization as needed. Moreover, the WWSIS (online database system) was designed and developed to be easily expandable to other river basins in Bhutan. It is an excellent practice for future replication and scaling up of activities.

Lesson
The TA project design and its five outputs were an amalgam of diverse activities. Most of these outputs could easily have been managed under separate TAs. While all the outputs fell within the finance sector, they were combined into one TA project in response to directions from ADB Management and the President that the number of individual TA projects be reduced. While the TA was managed properly overall, the many different counterparts and objectives involved made the oversight process challenging and complex.

Lesson
The use of small-scale TA was effective in timely determining the project scope, financing gaps, and institutional set-up prior to preparation of a full-scale feasibility study. Similar approach can be adopted under TRTA facilities for multiple pipeline projects before starting full-scale studies.

The ambitious outcome of the TA would have been achieved if it has been followed by an ensuing investment project as planned. Huge investment gap remains. ADB stands ready to support the government in finding an alternative solution, whatever financing modality will eventually be preferred by the Borrower.
