Lesson
This is more of a description of achievements than a lesson learned. A more specific lesson could be that outputs delivered for one sector can also be applied to other sectors, thus providing lessons learned among different sectors and resulting in cost savings.

Project Number: 48040-001
Project Name: Export- and Innovation-Led Industrial Development
Report Date:
Lesson
Careful documentation and dissemination of findings, manuals, and knowledge products are important steps in promoting future scaling up of TA project activities.

Project Number: 46257-001
Project Name: Strengthening Integrated Water Resources Management in Mountainous River Basins
Report Date:
Lesson
Further feedback provided by the EAER, beyond the information provided in the TCR, demonstrated that these lessons were shared at the knowledge-sharing events that were a part of this TA. More information on this could have been included in the TCR to strengthen the lesson. A lesson could be derived from this—Further efforts could be done to incorporate lessons from previous TAs into the knowledge sharing-events of TAs, in this case, through internal PRC government efforts.

Project Number: 48469-001
Project Name: Developing Gross Ecosystem Product Accounting for Eco-Compensation
Report Date:
Lesson
ADB could have put in place mechanisms for TA findings to be linked to future investments, so that these could either be replicated or scaled up.

Project Number: 45419-001
Project Name: SASEC Subregional Energy Efficiency Initiative
Report Date:
Lesson
Database and information systems should be designed with sufficient flexibility to be easily expandable to other river basins. Awareness raising and training can also help increase the chance for replication.

Project Number: 46257-001
Project Name: Strengthening Integrated Water Resources Management in Mountainous River Basins
Report Date:
Lesson
Complex undertakings like a regional energy information system and database are better suited for a different form of TA than a small-scale CDTA.

Project Number: 45419-001
Project Name: SASEC Subregional Energy Efficiency Initiative
Report Date:
Lesson
The findings from the TA studies (which covered seven counties) and its particular knowledge/capacity building approaches could be replicable in the other counties in the NHAR (total of 22 counties).

Project Number: 50006-001
Project Name: Poverty Reduction in Liupanshan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region
Report Date:
Lesson
Ensure that all monitoring and reporting profiles for the project and adequate documentation are provided in a satisfactory manner for a follow up at a later stage. This includes a list of areas and topics for further studies and/or research.

Project Number: 48006-001
Project Name: Improving Efficiency in Public Service Procurement, Delivery, and Financing
Report Date:
Lesson
The stated lesson from the TA project is the second sentence, i.e., “The coordination of activities of this TA with relevant international development agencies, agencies in CAREC member countries, civil society and other stakeholders to avoid overlapping and to maximize the effectiveness of the project can be replicated in other TA projects.”

Project Number: 48033-001
Project Name: Enhancing Road Safety for Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Member Countries
Report Date:
Lesson
A lesson here is: Pilot studies can potentially play an important role in the adoption and replication of cleaner production technologies if they can clearly demonstrate (i) the benefits to industries and (ii) that such adoption and replication can be a win-win scenario for the environment as well as the businesses.

Project Number: 42173-014
Project Name: Strengthening Monitoring and Enforcement in the Meghna River for Dhaka's Sustainable Water Supply
Report Date:
Lesson
Replication of the TA initiative in other regions with untapped cross-border resources in the energy sector or other sectors, can open new opportunities for development, cooperation, and expansion.

Project Number: 47107-001
Project Name: South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation CrossBorder Power Trade Development
Report Date:
Lesson
Cross-border collaboration provides opportunity for knowledge sharing and adoption of successful initiatives in similar contexts is often the case with neighboring countries.

Project Number: 47107-001
Project Name: South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation CrossBorder Power Trade Development
Report Date:
Lesson
The TCR stated that the deteriorating global economic situation and conservative fiscal situation, along with a change of Kazpost management, led to the non-take-up of follow-up ADB finance. The TCR also implied that there could have been a follow up loan had there been closer cooperation between PSOD and the TA team. Under these constraining circumstances, closer cooperation between PSOD and the TA team increases the chances of leading to the follow-up ADB loan.

Project Number: 40552-012
Project Name: KazPost Financial Strengthening and Modernization
Report Date:
Lesson
Although the TA had some implementation challenges, it still showed that linking a TA to an MFF investment program can yield significant benefits for the development of a sector, leveraging the benefits of the TA.

Project Number: 44002-022
Project Name: Improving Operational Performance of the Water Supply Sector
Report Date:
Lesson
This lesson could be strengthened by including additional information on the scaling up and replication opportunities derived from this TA. For example, a detailed cost-benefit analysis and articulation of target recipients or beneficiaries for these investments would strengthen the justification for additional scaling up of activities.
