The TCR lesson is not phrased as a lesson. In finalizing this validation report, the NRM rephrased the lesson and provided additional information: Adequate consideration of Nepal’s political landscape in delivering or scaling up effective agricultural services and approaches in the future is critical. Nepal’s shift to federalism has devolved much of the agriculture sector work to subnational governments. The newly established provincial and local governments require extensive capacity building to deliver agriculture research and extension services.

The TCR lesson is well developed. Implementing a potentially replicable small-scale TA with a limited number of DMCs can set the stage for cost_x005F_x0002_effective replication in other countries. This model developed under this TA is likely replicable to help build capacityin other DMCs.

Agreed. Furthermore, the UNESCAP previously piloted a TTFMM in South Asia. The approach was replicated under this TA project for Output c. The application of well-executed methodologies used in other comparable regions is a positive example of knowledge sharing and replication. It is also important to adopt the approach piloted in other region by fully customizing the approaches that are applicable to the region of the interest, which for this TA project was the Pacific region.
