The document reviews what IFAD is learning from its Direct Supervision projects in Asia and the Pacific. It finds that while IFAD is learning from its projects, there is still room for improvement. Specifically, it notes that only half of reports contain a useful knowledge management appendix, and many missed opportunities to capture lessons around grassroots institutions, NGO roles, and gender issues. It also finds that learning is not a high priority for staff and the audience and use of lessons captured is unclear. The document provides suggestions like clarifying the learning role of supervision missions and giving more guidance and time to better capture lessons.
