Lesson
It is imperative for SOEs to develop good corporate governance and maintain an arm's length relationship with government, regardless of whether it is a commercial or noncommercial SOE. Some of the policy actions under this program were designed to improve the government's performance of its SOE ownership function. However, in addition to these policy actions, it is imperative for SOEs to proactively promote good corporate governance and develop functional autonomy from the government.

Lesson
Lack of project readiness can seriously deter project implementation. The project completion review of tranche 1 indicates that the project was not ready for financing. During preparation of the project, the towns of Marneuli and Zugdidi were replaced by Kutaisi, Poti, and Ureki because of changing government priorities and the planned development of a seaside resort at Ureki. This necessitated a major change in scope that delayed project startup. Additional time was also needed for capacity building and to increase awareness of the project among the IA staff.
