Lessons learned [EBRD

One of the Evaluation Department's (EvD) key responsibilities is to ensure that past experience is applied to new projects and policies.

EvD consults extensively with banking teams to identify lessons learned. EvD also provides regular feedback during the preparation and approval of new projects to ensure banking staff are aware of past experience. The aim of the evaluation process is to improve the selection and design of future EBRD operations.

Published in Septemeber 2003, these 40 project summaries and respective lessons learned provide a cross-section of EBRD investment operations. Successful as well as less successful projects from both early and advanced transition countries are included. The projects cover a number of financial instruments and a wide range of industries such as steel plants, breweries, textile manufacturers, pharmaceuticals, construction and food processing.
