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 Name: Implementing ICT Tools to Improve Data Collection and Management of National Surveys in Support of the Sustainable Development Goals

Lesson
To derive lessons on how the key stakeholders see their participation and future roles, a post-TA completion survey could be highly useful.

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
The lesson seems to highlight the importance of securing government and stakeholder ownership in order to deliver results. However, it stops short of outlining what approaches work best to secure stakeholder participation.

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.

Lesson
This is a description of what was done, not a lesson for a future TA project. This validation offers the following lesson: Active engagement with appropriate stakeholders adds value to TA project outputs and ADB standing as convener and facilitator.

Agree. It would be useful if the TCR could identify and discuss the inconsistency in scope of study between actual TA_x005F_x0002_produced reports and the planned reports as detailed in the TA report's methodology and key activities. The same applies to the no submission of the policy brief, no conduct of the international study tour, and the final dissemination event. It should be clarified whether these changes were decided in consultation with executing agency, implementing agency, and other stakeholders.

Lesson
A lesson statement would be: It is critical to retain flexibility in the development of a regional assistance program's portfolio of interventions through a dynamic prioritization of work to respond to changes in country-specific priorities and manage demands and expectations in evolving political and development contexts.

Lesson
Agreed. A useful lesson is the importance of partnerships with the client to ensure buy-in and follow through, and to tailor to additional capacity building demands from the DMCs

The validation agrees with the TCR lesson on the importance of building ownership of in-country stakeholders.

Lesson
Another lesson could be that regional conferences and study tours can also be a useful way to engage stakeholders, rather than relying on a one-way flow of information through dissemination of knowledge products.

Lesson
A lesson learned from the non-take up of this specific ADB investment loan upon the change in government is that government participation and buy-in is important for planning continuity at times when elections are to be held. Thinking ahead about the possibility of regime change can be an important part of investment planning

Project Name: Southern Highways Investment Program
Report Date:
Lesson
In the TCR’s follow-up actions, it is stated that ADB’s stakeholder support should continue through capacity building and policy advice. It is not clear from the TCR statement if there are new areas or topics to target, or if additional resources are needed to increase the reach of the programs that succeeded through this TA project. A lesson may be possible to develop depending on the specific learning the TCR intends to capture.
