Lessons Learned • Renegotiation is • … part of the process, NOT necessarily a sign of failure or a bad deal. • … an opportunity to improve the deal and address change proactively. • … a different kind of challenge, requiring transactional and dispute resolution skills – creative innovation. • … an opportunity to provide our clients with critical, strategic support.
The Role of the Bank • Good offices – interested but neutral • Opening communications • Encouraging process/focus on issues • Providing experts/facilitators • Intervention – interested, resourced and neutral • Provide facilitation • Create incentives for resolution • Programmatic assistance
The Role of the Bank • Is the Bank the right party to facilitate: • Bolivia – not perceived as neutral • Cape Verde – process successful • Indonesia – perceived to have capacity • Timing of intervention: • Tanzania - process failed • Columbia – early intervention
