Evaluation Capacity Development
Strengthening the Post-Evaluation Capability of the National Economic Development Authority in the Philippines

Lessons Identified

• Careful study of the post-evaluation environment during TA implementation can help identify factors that will affect sustainability.
• A phased, medium-term system building program and work plan that takes these factors into account and commits the counterpart agency in charge of post-evaluation to sustain the effort would be a useful TA output to monitor further progress.
• When counterpart staff participate in ADB missions, assignments should be planned, and at the end of the mission, the mission chief should prepare a performance assessment to guide the participant's growth.
