Summary of Project Activities. The objective of the Regional Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project is to rehabilitate key regional infrastructure. The Regional Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project includes three Project Activities. • Samtskhe-Javakheti Road Project Activity (the “Road Rehabilitation Activity”). The objective of the Road Rehabilitation Activity is improved transportation for regional trade. The Activity will rehabilitate or construct approximately 245 km of the main road that traverses the Samtskhe-Javakehti region and provide technical assistance for development of a road master plan, maintenance planning and contracting. • Energy Rehabilitation Project Activity (the “Energy Rehabilitation Activity”). The objective of the Energy Rehabilitation Activity is increased reliability of energy supply and reduced losses. The Activity will rehabilitate the Pipeline and provide advisory service to the Government to support the Ministry of Energy to further develop and implement its energy sector strategy. • Regional Infrastructure Development Project Activity (the “Regional Infrastructure Development Activity”). The objective of the Regional Infrastructure Development Activity is improved regional and municipal service delivery. The Activity will provide grants to fund regional and municipal physical infrastructure such as water supply, sanitation, irrigation, municipal gasification, roads and solid waste. The M&E Plan (described in Annex III) will set forth anticipated results and, where appropriate, regular benchmarks at the Regional Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project level and at each Project Activity level that may be used to monitor implementation progress. Performance against these benchmarks and the overall impact of the Regional Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project and each Project Activity will be assessed and reported at regular intervals to be specified in the M&E Plan or otherwise agreed by the Parties from time to time. The Parties expect that additional benchmarks will be identified during implementation of each Project Activity. Estimated amounts of MCC Funding for each Project Activity within the Regional Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project are identified in Annex II of this Compact. Conditions precedent to each Project Activity and sequencing of the Project Activities shall be set forth in the Disbursement Agreement or other relevant Supplemental Agreements.
Summary of Project Activities. The Enterprise Development Project is designed to provide access to capital on viable terms, support policy reforms to improve the business environment and improve business and technical skills in farms and enterprises. The Enterprise Development Project consists of two Project Activities: • The Investment Fund Activity. The objective of the Investment Fund Activity is to increase investment in and improve the performance of SMEs, primarily in the Regions. The Project Activity will create a professionally and independently managed investment fund (the “Georgia Regional Development Fund” or “GRDF” or such other name as may be agreed by the Parties) to provide capital to SMEs, provide technical assistance for portfolio companies and identify legal and policy reforms to encourage further investment in SMEs. • The Agribusiness Development Activity (the “ADA”). The objective of the ADA is to improve economic performance of agribusinesses. The ADA will accelerate the transformation from subsistence to commercial agriculture through technical assistance, targeted grants and market information. The ADA will provide technical assistance and grants to farmers and agribusinesses in critical value chains that supply agricultural products to the domestic market, as well as disseminate information on regional market prices and volumes. The GRDF and the ADA will be managed separately, but they are intended to complement one another. For example, GRDF may invest in an entity receiving ADA technical assistance, or farmers may need technical assistance from ADA to take advantage of opportunities to supply products to a GRDF investee company in the processing industry. The managers of the GRDF and the ADA will meet on a regular basis to discuss potential synergies. Any decision-making by GRDF or ADA with respect to business opportunities with the other party will be undertaken as if GRDF and ADA were unrelated parties. The following summarizes the Enterprise Development Project Activities. The M&E Plan (described in Annex III) will set forth anticipated results and, where appropriate, regular benchmarks at the Enterprise Development Project level and at each Project Activity level to monitor implementation progress. Performance against these benchmarks and the overall impact of the Enterprise Development Project and each Project Activity will be assessed and reported at regular intervals as specified in the M&E Plan or otherwise agreed by the Parties from time to time.

Summary of Project Activities. This project was focused on increasing coordination and cooperation throughout the state and to help build relationships with local government organizations through consensus-building exercises. This was accomplished through a series of facilitated meetings held throughout the state where local government organization were invited to participate. A contractor with facilitation experience was utilized in order to maximize the effectiveness of the meetings. The goal of the meetings was be to determine key barriers and challenges to participation in collaborative statewide GIS efforts. A total of 96 people from 26 different counties participated in the outreach sessions, and meetings were also held with the above-identified collaborating state agencies. In addition, to capture additional input an online survey was conducted, and 38 people from 11 counties responded. The total local government response represented 64% of South Carolina’s land area, and 71% of the population. Following the meetings, the information gained was used to produce a strategic plan proposing what can be done in order to help remove said barriers and effect a positive change in the relationship between state and local GIS. The end-goal was to increase participation between local and state government in relation to GIS data sharing and development. This is in direct line to assist with Criteria 6 of the nine criteria for successful coordination: (“Does your state have mechanisms to work and coordinate with local governments, academia, and the private sector?”). After the strategic plan was written, aspects were immediately implemented. Several goals were voiced by the local government participants that, if realized, would be of benefit not only to local government, but also to state agencies as well. These goals were framed up in a series of pilot projects that have been quite successful.
Summary of Project Activities. Project Tasks Task 1 - Prepare workshop materials and workbooks. 100% Completed Task 2 - Organize workshops. Contact potential participants in each regional area. Secure meeting space and logistic support. Three workshops are budgeted for. 100% Completed Task 3 - Conduct workshops. Travel to each regional site to conduct a ½ day workshop with local government data managers. Workshops will be conducted by principals from each of the three collaborating organizations. We will spend the time necessary to answer participants' questions and encourage them to undertake review and modification of their respective agencies' data distribution policy. 200% Completed (We had adequate resources to conduct three additional workshops.)

Performance against the benchmarks and the overall impact of the Justice Project will be assessed and reported at the intervals to be specified in the M&E Plan or as otherwise agreed by the Parties from time to time. The Parties expect that additional benchmarks will be identified during the implementation of the Justice Project. Estimated amounts of MCC Funding for each Project Activity for the Justice Project are identified in Annex II of this Compact. Conditions precedent to each Project Activity and sequencing of the Project Activities shall be set forth in the Disbursement Agreement, other relevant Supplemental Agreements, or component of the Implementation Plan.
