The document discusses emerging good practices in direct supervision from the experiences of Sri Lanka, Philippines, and China. Three key practices are highlighted: 1) Increased government participation in supervision through national agencies. 2) Internalizing lessons learned into the supervision process through training and knowledge sharing. 3) Linking supervision with effective implementation support through follow up visits and constant communication. Achievements include improved analysis, recommendations, and institutional learning. Challenges include ensuring commitment, avoiding over-reliance on internal staff, and formalizing knowledge management practices. The way forward involves continued learning opportunities, emphasizing risk analysis, and formalizing government partnerships.
