Lesson

Lesson
A lesson here is: Pilot studies can potentially play an important role in the adoption and replication of cleaner production technologies if they can clearly demonstrate (i) the benefits to industries and (ii) that such adoption and replication can be a win-win scenario for the environment as well as the businesses.

Description. No lesson formulated. It could, for example, be: “The TA results may incentivize other DP funding on the subject.” Or, “Broad dissemination of TA results of a new water quality monitoring approach, such as the participatory approach introduced through this TA, may generate replication elsewhere, in the country and beyond.”

The statement in the TCR was a finding and not a lesson.

Project Number: 40552-012
Project Name: KazPost Financial Strengthening and Modernization
Report Date:
Lesson
The TCR stated that the deteriorating global economic situation and conservative fiscal situation, along with a change of Kazpost management, led to the non-take-up of follow-up ADB finance. The TCR also implied that there could have been a follow up loan had there been closer cooperation between PSOD and the TA team. Under these constraining circumstances, closer cooperation between PSOD and the TA team increases the chances of leading to the follow-up ADB loan.

Lesson
A lesson from this TA is that the benefits of a regional TA approach seem strong in terms of applicability among GMS countries, and the potential for improving standards and value chains across different product categories is great. As one gets into the “retail” side of capacity development (where farmer and other producer beneficiaries are trained on how to produce according to the standards), the costs vis-à-vis the benefits of TAs from different activities and for different stakeholder groups may need to be shown before they attract donor buy-ins.

Lesson
This lesson could be strengthened by including additional information on the scaling up and replication opportunities derived from this TA. For example, a detailed cost-benefit analysis and articulation of target recipients or beneficiaries for these investments would strengthen the justification for additional scaling up of activities.

Project Name: Enhancing Readiness of ADB Developing Member Countries for Scaled Up Climate Finance
Report Date:
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.
