Some initial lessons learnt� Preparation by IFC speeded up negotiations
� Supporting the AZC has a high cost
� Philanthropic investor needed acknowledgement
� Lengthy SA Reserve Bank procedures
� Better infrastructure co-ordination and commitments needed from state upfront
� One-stop-shop would have been helpful
� Regional Conservation, Tourism and Social Development Forum
