The project will support the implementation of the first phase of the Government Program covering components, which are most time-sensitive and will most rapidly lead to cash flow generation. The project will focus on: (i) maintaining and growing the railway business (increase revenue from US$219 million today to about US$283 million by 2015) by providing the profitable freight market segment with proper service, infrastructure and locomotive capacity; (ii) transforming the Azeri Railways into a financially self-sustainable operation in freight transportation, covering all its costs (including infrastructure maintenance and traction) from revenues, while improving its operational efficiency; and (iii) improving the transparency of the Railway sector by introducing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and profit centers (passenger/freight) and by separating on an accounting basis passenger service that could be self-sustained from others. Other parts of the Government Program are expected to be covered through separate projects once the proper financial and technical due diligence has been completed.

The international supervision firm has allowed major improvements in managing system interfaces, resolving organizational issues at contractors level, and enhancing quality control. Yet delays related to the implementation of power conversion and signalling contracts remain a concern. The mobilization of an in-house implementation support team by ADY with international consultants has been delayed . ADY has signed the financing agreement for the supply of new freight locomotives and has made progress in organizing the construction of locomotive workshops.At policy and institutional levels, ADY has taken a number of measures to improve operational performance and increase technical and financial capacity, however results are delayed to meet the Debt Service Covering Ratio above 1.1, which constitutes a loan covenant.
