Lesson
This validation offers the following lesson: it is important to work and clearly communicate with ACMF and its working groups to get buy-in to the TA project. This is evident in how stakeholders noted their appreciation to this approach.

This validation also offers this lesson: The TA memo provides a lesson (although it was not reflected in the TCR lessons) regarding the shift in scope, "In light of the ongoing transition to federalism, which aims to devolve the responsibilities for the agriculture sector to the subnational government levels (provincial and municipal), the consultations at the subnational level have become critical not only for the program design, but also to assess the most feasible implementation arrangements…The need to consult with the subnational government offices has not received sufficient atte

Lesson
The TCR lesson reflects on the need to engage with the stakeholders in the project design process. However, there is no mention of whether the stakeholders were consulted again when the output indicators changed, and some market corridors were dropped. When the project scope changes significantly, it is a good practice to revisit previously consulted stakeholders to update them of the need to change the targets and incorporate their feedback.

Lesson
Additional lesson could be that strong stakeholder participation and national ownership are also important from the project design stage to completion to promote TA sustainability. This TA was able to secure strong engagement from national government partners, and it appears that the participating DMCs are on their way to sustaining and scaling up the TA results.

Project Number: 45376-001
Project Name: Capacity Building for Portfolio Management
Report Date:
Lesson
The lesson should reflect the level and type of stakeholder participation in terms of influence on the TA project and how they could be leveraged for TA sustainability. It is not a sufficient lesson to say that the participation was “good.” The TA team rightly reflected on the lesson of how the program would have benefited if there were targeted intervention for the private sector. Perhaps it was not sufficient enough to offer a 1-day open session for the contractors and consultants.

Lesson
Agreed. A large turn-out from all the Pacific DMCs at the workshop, including finance ministries and maritime and aviation authorities culminated in strong ownership and commitment to delivering new projects. Regional workshops are an affective mechanism for soliciting stakeholder participation in the Pacific and can culminate in strong ownership and commitment to delivering new projects.
