Implementation Completion and Results Report (ICR) Document - Transparency and Accountability in Mongolian Education (TAME) - P150842

Ratings for the Transparency and Accountability in Mongolian Education Project for East Asia and Pacific were as follows: outcome and Bank performance was moderately satisfactory and monitoring and evaluation quality was modest. Some lessons learned included: taking into account the power dynamics among school stakeholders is key to facilitating effective and collaborative engagement in school governance. Strategic support for strengthening the technical capacity of non-governmental implementing agencies to facilitate constructive engagement with the key line ministry throughout the project cycle is essential for obtaining high-level buy-in and maximizing the potential for scale-up. A combination of just-in-time supervision support and the implementing agency’s ownership of project interventions can help improve the project’s achievements and potential for sustainability. To improve quality at entry, during preparation of future global partnership for social accountability (GPSA)-financed operations, a co-task team leader (TTL)-ship arrangement can be considered between the governance global practice (GP) TTL leading preparation of the project and the sector TTL responsible for supervision of implementation upon project effectiveness.
