Lesson
It is problematic to use a country's overall position in the Doing Business report to monitor progress in improving the business environment and overall competitiveness. The report has been subject to criticism and methodological problems have been identified. Its usefulness for monitoring progress in similar programs lies more in monitoring the country's performance over time - particularly in indicators that are not sensitive to the representative case used by the World Bank team - rather than measuring progress against other economies.

Lesson
Implementation of institutional reforms under the program was more effective and efficient when there was an adequate and detailed blueprint with clear and measurable results indicators, as well as where project-type implementation arrangements were in place to facilitate the change process (e.g., the business registration system or the new inspection process for tax administration were supported by detailed blueprints and financed through investment projects). The $2.9 million grant approved under the program cluster was thus very useful.
