The document discusses emerging good practices in direct supervision from the experiences of Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and China. Three key practices are highlighted: 1) Governments' participation in supervision results in practical solutions and capacity building. Challenges include commitment and potential conflicts of interest. 2) Internalizing learning into the supervision process improves analysis and recommendations, but risks inbreeding without new perspectives. 3) Supervision linked to effective implementation support through light missions and constant communication helps implementation, but risks overdependence on supervision teams. The way forward includes formalizing government partnerships, using M&E for ownership, and emphasizing risk analysis and internalizing lessons.
