Lesson
It is imperative for SOEs to develop good corporate governance and maintain an arm's length relationship with government, regardless of whether it is a commercial or noncommercial SOE. Some of the policy actions under this program were designed to improve the government's performance of its SOE ownership function. However, in addition to these policy actions, it is imperative for SOEs to proactively promote good corporate governance and develop functional autonomy from the government.

Lesson
Equity issues need to be carefully considered and addressed in beneficiary selection and targeting. The potential for political influence in the selection of communities that would benefit from grid connection was identified as a risk. To mitigate this risk, independent consultants were engaged to develop the beneficiary selection criteria, which would eventually stipulate that (i) customers were to be within 250 meters of the transmission line, (ii) construction of the property had to be sound, and (iii) households must have the financial means to pay for the electricity provided.

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.

The readiness and capacity of the wider ecosystem matters. Hence, PPTA’s should also consider local supply chains and other supporting infrastructure that are vital for ensuring that pilots are replicable, scalable, and sustainable.
