Lesson
Lending Modality: Having an appropriate modality is critical. ADB's Disaster and Emergency Assistance Policy together with Achieving Development Effectiveness in Weakly Performing Countries provided a ready framework for Emergency Assistance for Post-Conflict Recovery (EAPCR).

Monitoring and evaluation framework. The overall success of the program could have been greater had the design and monitoring framework (DMF) been better designed. The impact statement could have been closer to the outcome and assumptions about investor and consumer confidence more realistic. The impact statement could have focused on maintaining sustainable and inclusive public sector spending rather than to restore the Georgian economy to the pre-war trajectory of growth and social development.

ADB business procedures. While program preparation was shorter than for typical program grants and loans, streamlined and abbreviated business procedures for processing crisis response programs could allow the response to be more timely.

Lending Modality: The crisis in Georgia, triggered largely by exogenous shocks, has underscored the need for a suitable modality that will enable ADB to provide quick support. While ADB has a program lending policy, there is no special modality for a financial crisis response operation for Asian Development Fund countries. The special program loan in the program lending policy is limited to ordinary capital resources countries (OCR). ADB's Countercyclical Support Facility (CSF) helped disburse anti-crisis support quickly to OCR eligible countries.

Lesson
Like other state electricity boards, ASEB experienced difficulties in obtaining state government budgetary support, which badly constrained its operations. Since Assam's financial condition is particularly serious, addressing financial issues upfront is key to successful reform. Investments under the multitranche finance facility (MFF) will include institutional development, ensuring a sustainable reform program.

Lesson
ASEB, with the support of the Government of Assam (GOA), took advance action to acquire land and clear other statutory hurdles, which eased implementation. In earlier ADB-assisted power sector projects, land acquisition and resettlement issues generally caused delays. Although ASEB was initially not fully conversant with ADB procedures, timely support from ADB and willingness of ASEB staff to adopt these practices helped implement the project. ASEB and GOA fully supported the project and retained key project management unit (PMU) staff.

Before ADB's support, the Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) had not taken on transmission and distribution (T&D) projects of such magnitude due to financial constraints. However, the successful project implementation amply demonstrates that, if appropriate institutional support is provided, it can carry out such a project adequately.
