Lesson
The TA project’s work on NPL management led directly to a policy_x005F_x0002_based loan that did not appear to be part of the original purpose for the TA. Instead, it appears that the importance of the TA recommendations as well as the urgency of Mongolia’s needs for financial stability, led to the follow_x005F_x0002_on loan. There may have been specific lessons regarding the development of the government’s commitment to NPL management that could be of use to future TA projects seeking to achieve the same commitment to reform that could have been included in the TCR

Lesson
This is a useful lesson learned, but it is phrased as a recommendation. Rephrasing it into a broader lesson learned for other TAs: Active engagement with the private sector, policy maker (MOF), and regulator (OJK) during the implementation of TA project activities in the finance sector can improve the relevance and effectiveness of developed policies.

These are useful lessons learned from stakeholder participants.

Even when TA activities have a highly technical focus, finding ways to engage non-technical stakeholders can result in additional synergies and benefits. The TA activity included capacity development activities for forest managers relating to the management of forest genetic resources, including seed stand identification, seed collection, processing and storage.

Lesson
This is a particularly useful lesson learned which should be taken into account for future ADB TA projects. Ensuring the buy-in of all relevant stakeholders is critical for a successful and sustainable outcome.

Lesson
This lesson learned is too broad to be able to provide guidance for other projects. A more specific lessoncould be that a strong support from the implementing agency is critical for increased stakeholder commitment, which contributes to the achievement of the TA’s outputs.

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.

Lesson
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
For regional TAs, it is important to engage both regional stakeholders (such as SASEC), as well as to work in tandem with local stakeholders. Also, insights emerging from fact-finding missions are a useful means to undertake in-country consultations and engage local stakeholders.

Report Date:
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.
