Lesson
Targeted stakeholder consultation can help mobilize the broad-based support needed to implement a TA project with many different stakeholders. Such engagement can help to develop plans and guidelines that have broad-based support. This can facilitate approval and subsequent implementation of these plans. The quality of consultations might be enhanced by documenting stakeholder perceptions of consultative processes. Such perceptions may also provide evidence needed to assess national ownership and potential sustainability.

The first statement provides a general lesson: that conferences help strengthen networks. This could be considered part of the rationale rather than a lesson. For this TA, more information is required on who attended, what they learned, and how they learned—to justify this as a specific lesson that would be of value for wider learning. The second sentence is an aspirational statement that does not provide sufficient depth as a lesson, rather, this appears to be more of a recommendation.

Lesson
The TCR missed the opportunity to reflect on lessons regarding stakeholder participation. The TCR could have shared specific lesson from its engagement with various stakeholders from the government and the local business sectors. As the outcome statement involved two dimensions of planning and implementing poverty reduction measures, it would be useful if there are knowledge dissemination activities designed based on the roles played by the stakeholders, e.g., planning or implementation, as this would enable stakeholders to strengthen either the planning or the implementation capacity.

Lesson
The importance of regular client meetings for fine-tuning of needs is a weak lesson since it is commonly known.

At TA concept stage, it is critical to carefully evaluate the options for the implementation arrangements and assess any risks for a fully successful TA implementation. (In this TA case, a central ministry may have been a better implementing agency.) The TA was executed by ADB, with the Quang Tri Water Supply Company—fully owned by the Quang Tri provincial people’s committee—as the implementing agency. TA training and the related MFF program addressed water companies in 14 provinces.
