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 use of national consultants already active in the subject area helped ensure close links to the IAs, and a solid understanding of PRC s special circumstances. The motivation of consultants to deliver good work with a tangible impact was evident.
