Lesson
The PPP model can help finance relatively large infrastructure projects that directly increase export and government revenue. This approach is particularly relevant in developing countries with weak private sector participation in infrastructure and which lack the capacity for commercial borrowing because of debt sustainability considerations. Some examples of countries in a similar situation are the Kyrgyz Republic, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Nepal, and Tajikistan where large hydropower potential can be developed to increase their power exports using the PPP model.

Lesson
There were issues associated with working with the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, Investments and Trade (MFERIT) during the project. MFERIT is responsible for registering all construction contracts in the country, but it appears that there are slow processes within MFERIT, which delayed the process and led to significant detrimental effect on the progress of the contractor mobilization. ADB can work with MFERIT to improve processes generally, or at least identify a fast-track approach for externally funded projects.

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.
