Implementation and Supervision:
1. With technical assistance from the bank, the borrower prepares the specifications for the project.
Companies bid through the international competitive bidding process, and the government lets its contracts.
2. The bank regularly reviews the borrower's procurement process to ensure that the bank's procurement guidelines are followed. If they have, funds are disbursed.
3. At the end of the disbursement period (anywhere from 1-10 years), a completion report identifying results, problems and lessons learned is submitted by operations staff to the bank's Board of Executive Directors for information purposes.
After a borrower's project is completed, the bank's Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) conducts an audit to measure the project's outcome against its original objectives. This is in addition to a completion report identifying results, problems and lessons learned prepared by operations staff.
