MCG elected to work with GOGC, the implementing entity for the Energy Rehabilitation Activity. GOGC, a young domestic institution at the time, was responsible for designing and managing all pipeline repairs under the compact. GOGC is now the party responsible for the operation and long-term sustainability of the MCC energy rehabilitation investment. MCC supported operational and financial improvements at GOGC before and during construction. The MCC model has been used by USAID, which signed a contract with GOGC to manage a $70 million investment to further rehabilitate the national natural gas distribution network.
The implementing entity agreement between the MCG and the Georgia Department of Statistics (now GeoStat) helped to improve the quality of survey implementation. Initial improvements were observed in survey processes and metadata collection, improved IT equipment and architecture to conduct survey work, and capacity built in collecting, maintaining, and analyzing data. The surveys implemented through MCG funds represented a replicable model for improved data collection methods, which increased confidence in GeoStat's data collection for their own purposes and for the purposes of international donors.
RID water projects were funded in parallel with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the EBRD and the World Bank each provided technical assistance and oversight of the Municipal Development Fund, the implementing entity which was a former World Bank Project Implementation Unit in the preparation of individual projects. MCC relied on EBRD environmental standards and procurement processes for the relevant projects.
Although not a partnership per se, following compact closeout the Asian Development Bank entered the Georgian water sector and carried on with many of the municipal water projects funded under the compact. In addition, responsibility for maintaining the RID Project after the end of the compact was transferred from the Municipal Development Fund to the new Georgian water company, the United Water Supply Company of Georgia.
