The Telecommunications Project is rated as highly satisfactory with highly likely sustainability, substantial institutional development impact , satisfactory bank performance and highly satisfactory borrower performance. The project provides the first "best practice" example for the use of a World Bank guarantee in the telecommunications sector. Lessons learned include: the support of regulatory reforms does not end with the creation of the independent sector regulator; the effective implementation of different financial instruments ensured the investment program finance and stimulated the enhancement of financial management skills and positive evolution of the Jordan Telecommunications Corporation's corporate culture; privatization transactions should be preceded by a well designed public relations campaign and involve all current and potential stake holders in the sector; cofinancing arrangements should be secured as early as possible in project preparation; and the early provision of technical assistance combined with the borrowers ability to absorb and use technical assistance contributes to the overall success and sustainability of the project.
