Lesson
The implementation delay for the local roads component resulted in the shifting of this component to subsequent ADB-assisted projects. As local road development can efficiently bring project benefits to rural areas, especially to the poor, in future road projects more attention should be paid to the development of local roads, an integral part of the country's road network.

Lesson
The project was cofinanced by several external aid agencies. This modality proved to be suitable for financing the rapid development of the road subsector. In future road projects financed by multiple aid agencies, the Azer Road Service Open Joint-Stock Company (ARS) needs to strengthen its project management capacity in the aspects of financial accounts, project scheduling, and quality control.

Lesson
The contractor for the Gazakh-Georgian border section was perhaps not familiar with the country's situation at the start, and this caused mobilization delays and difficulty in finding suitable local subcontractors. In future road projects, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) needs to provide bidders with adequate local information at pre-bidding meetings, and publish information on the cost of locally available inputs (materials, equipment, and labor) on its website to allow bidders to submit sensible bids.
