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.

Replication: Within ADB, the SDCD cost center has been established to develop GCF project proposals. Scaling up: It would require additional project preparation facilities, trust fund resources, and climate TA projects alongside ADB projects. Skills within SDCD have been developed but continue to rely on TA consultant support for implementation. The TCR, thus, recommended for a way forward.

Agree on the need to continuously implement capacity building activities, given the rapidly changing development landscape and new emerging challenges, and to customize it to local languages for better understanding. The design of the next capacity building workshops should be informed by the feedback received from the participants from the post-training evaluation surveys conducted. It would be useful if SDCC could indicate these feedback and suggestions for future CDTA projects.
