1 | Focus on strengthening implementation of EE investment plans between state enterprises, ESCOs and commercial banks, and building a pipeline of projects that can be implemented after the GEF project is complete. |

(SPAs) between ?quasi-state? budgetary organizations and ESCOs. |
3 | Follow-up on the legalization of the Energy Center and produce a strategic plan to identify other areas of EE expertise that it will develop and model for revenue generation. |
4 | Continuation of training of energy auditors and energy business planners. |
5 | To reset outcomes and targets as specified in the MTE report to improve management of the Project. |
6 | It is also recommended by the MTE Team that if available, the Project should use competent external assistance to accelerate implementation. |
7 | Project staff should closely monitor EE investments developed using allocated Project resources. |
8 | Project extension should only be considered if necessary. |
