Lesson
While this is interesting information, this lesson learned does not provide a learning opportunity for future TAs. The TCR self-assessment needs to tie the information provided here more closely to the impact or relationship it has to the TA being evaluated.

Project Number: 52320-001
Project Name: Preliminary Assessment for Dili Airport Runway Project Upgrading Project
Report Date:
Lesson
ADB could have put in place mechanisms for TA findings to be linked to future investments, so that these could either be replicated or scaled up.

Project Number: 45419-001
Project Name: SASEC Subregional Energy Efficiency Initiative
Report Date:
Lesson
Database and information systems should be designed with sufficient flexibility to be easily expandable to other river basins. Awareness raising and training can also help increase the chance for replication.

Project Number: 46257-001
Project Name: Strengthening Integrated Water Resources Management in Mountainous River Basins
Report Date:
Lesson
Other countries that have similar issues could cofinance knowledge-sharing events to learn valuable lessons for their own countries’ policies and practices.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
Complex undertakings like a regional energy information system and database are better suited for a different form of TA than a small-scale CDTA.

Project Number: 45419-001
Project Name: SASEC Subregional Energy Efficiency Initiative
Report Date:
Lesson
Careful documentation and dissemination of findings, manuals, and knowledge products are important steps in promoting future scaling up of TA project activities.

Project Number: 46257-001
Project Name: Strengthening Integrated Water Resources Management in Mountainous River Basins
Report Date:
Lesson
More feedback—provided by the EAER beyond the information provided in the TCR—stated that from central to local provinces, the GEP was widely adopted through either domestic finance or other development partners’ support.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
ADB financed at least two TA projects that are aligned with this TA, potentially indicating a form of follow-on financing. One lesson here could be that ADB broadly believed in the validity of the approach and was aiming to sustain and strengthen it through additional TAs. This, however, requires further information to confirm it.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
Further feedback provided by the EAER, beyond the information provided in the TCR, demonstrated that these lessons were shared at the knowledge-sharing events that were a part of this TA. More information on this could have been included in the TCR to strengthen the lesson. A lesson could be derived from this—Further efforts could be done to incorporate lessons from previous TAs into the knowledge sharing-events of TAs, in this case, through internal PRC government efforts.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
Strategies and plans supported by the TA project should include an assessment of the financial and resource implications of proposed reforms and or new institutional changes, and recommendations on strategies for financing the proposals. These plans, policies and/or strategies should include mechanisms for ongoing M&E of financing during implementation of any institutional changes proposed under the TA project.

Project Number: 46257-001
Project Name: Strengthening Integrated Water Resources Management in Mountainous River Basins
Report Date:
Lesson
It may be possible for the private sector to finance a scale-up and expansion (e.g., through sponsorship of conferences) if this sector perceives some profit or other incentives to participate.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
Ensure that all monitoring and reporting profiles for the project and adequate documentation are provided in a satisfactory manner for a follow up at a later stage. This includes a list of areas and topics for further studies and/or research.

Project Number: 48006-001
Project Name: Improving Efficiency in Public Service Procurement, Delivery, and Financing
Report Date:
Lesson
It is important that, for country-specific TAs, there be a provision for any follow-up work by ADB country offices, particularly where these TAs are linked to country operation business plans or may be relevant to future investments to support local government for poverty reduction and livelihood improvement. As part of the TA sustainability planning, it would be useful if ADB could also discuss future plans with the executing agency.

Project Number: 50006-001
Project Name: Poverty Reduction in Liupanshan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region
Report Date:
Lesson
Reporting on the role of private sector engagement post-TA would have been a good recommendation for a potential follow-on TA and would help contribute to sustainability.

Project Number: 48006-001
Project Name: Improving Efficiency in Public Service Procurement, Delivery, and Financing
Report Date:
Lesson
The findings from the TA studies (which covered seven counties) and its particular knowledge/capacity building approaches could be replicable in the other counties in the NHAR (total of 22 counties).
