To get to this point, IFC learned lessons about the importance of building strong relationships to 'sell' ownership of the program to clients and pivotal stakeholders and ensure program sustainability through local consultants and partner organizations. 2012-08-13T11:52:55Z 2012-08-13T11:52:55Z 2009-11 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2009/11/11487167/bringing-reliable-electricity-rural-areas-philippines http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10518 English IFC Smart Lessons Brief CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific Philippines
