Lesson
A large amount of unused loan should be avoided. Although the actual cost for the civil works sections increased by about 50%, the project still ended with unused loan proceeds of $9.65 million (Loan 2205) and SDR1.40 million (Loan 2206). These were sufficient to finance the local roads, which were estimated to cost $3.8 million. A thorough fund disbursement analysis should have been conducted during project implementation.

Lesson
Monitoring indicators should be carefully selected. Some indicators for impact and outcome are not readily available nor closely linked to the project. Since data are generally not readily available in Azerbaijan, sources for evaluation indicators should be identified in more detail at appraisal. Documents such as those prepared at appraisal and project completion should include sufficient data for subsequent verification and follow-up. Specific omissions were traffic data, unit benefits, and unit costs that were needed to fully comprehend the economic analysis.

Lesson
ADB-financed project sections should be carefully selected. At appraisal, two sections were intended to be financed by ADB. The Yevlakh-Ganja section involves much higher traffic than the Gazakh–Georgian border section. Thus, the Yevlakh-Ganja section brought greater benefits and greater socioeconomic impact to the project area. If ADB had financed the Yevlakh-Ganja section instead of the Gazakh–Georgian border section, the project might have been rated efficient as the recalculated EIRR would have been higher than the threshold of economic viability.

A thorough funds disbursement analysis should have been conducted during project implementation to determinesufficiency or insufficiency of funds from all sources to finance all project components. While the actual cost for theproject civil works sections increased by 50%, the project still ended with unutilized loan proceeds of $9.65 million (Loan 2205) and $1.40 million (Loan 2206 [Special Funds]). These were more than sufficient to continue implementing the local roads component estimated to cost $3.8 million, of which $3.0 million was to be funded from the loan.
