Evaluation Capacity Development
Strengthening Project Performance Evaluation Capability of the Ministry of Plan Implementation, Ethnic Affairs and National Integration in Sri Lanka

Lessons Identified

• The successful implementation of the TA depends largely on
  • conscious effort by ADB staff in maintaining close contacts and relationship with the implementing agencies and the periodic informal monitoring and facilitation role;
  • the political commitment accorded to it;
  • availability of strategic information; and
  • skilled manpower to carry out the tasks.
    
• The continuous effort to create and sustain awareness among policy makers, planners, and senior public servants about the importance of post-evaluation as a lesson learning tool toward improving performance accountability enables the institutionalization of post-evaluation system in the public sector project cycle.
• Advanced training of officers creates a multiplier effect especially where trained officers act as resource speakers in monitoring and evaluation programs.
