The TA's final review found the TA identified key policy and operational principles and provided background material that deepened the understanding of key issues. This enhanced understanding was then successfully applied to prepare policy guidance, regulations etc that implemented recent reform initiatives. TA deliverables provided the foundation of policy statements, regulations, pilot projects, and knowledge products (e.g., journal articles).

The final review confirmed that material prepared by international consultants on the international experience was used successfully by national consultants to provide insights relevant to the PRC.
