AUGUST 2010 Monthly Operational Summary PAGE 3 GUIDE TO THE WORLD BANK MONTHLY OPERATIONAL SUMMARY The World Bank Monthly Operational Summary reports on the status of projects in the World Bank’s pipeline from the time the operation is identified to the signing of the Loan, Credit, or Grant Agreement. It is a detailed accounting of the projects included in the countr y lending programs that are actively being prepared for implementation. The lending programs reflect the Bank’s strategy for each member countr y as set out in the Countr y Assistance Strategy (CAS) papers and notes presented to the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank. On average, it takes about 13 months for the Bank to process a project from concept document to approval. After a financing agreement is signed or a project removed from the program, the project entr y is dropped from this Summar y. Each issue of the Summar y contains a list of projects being reported for the first time and a list of projects for which financ- ing agreements have been signed or that have been dropped from the current program. By becoming familiar with the Bank’s project cycle, which is sum- marized in the following paragraphs, consultants or suppliers of goods and works can gauge when the timing is right to pur- sue business opportunities with Bank borrowers. Each entr y in the Monthly Operational Summar y shows what point in the cycle a particular project has reached. Project Cycle During IDENTIFICATION, the client government and the Bank identify a specific operation as being likely to support the countr y’s development strategy and the Bank’s CAS. During PREPARATION, the client government identifies and discusses the technical and institutional alternatives for achiev- ing the objectives of a project. Preparation usually requires fea- sibility studies followed by more detailed studies of the alter- natives that promise to yield the most satisfactor y results. An environmental assessment is usually carried out during this phase. (See below for more information on environmental assess- ment.)
In the preparation stage of the project cycle, clients often sup- plement their own efforts by hiring consultants to carr y out a major part of the work. Contractors and suppliers of equip- ment and goods need to start making contacts with country offi- cials during this stage. During APPRAISAL, the Bank conducts a comprehensive review of all aspects of the project (technical, institutional, eco- nomic, and financial), laying the foundation for implementing the project and evaluating it when completed. Conducted by Bank staf f, project appraisal may be supplemented by individual experts. The preparation of the Project Appraisal Document con- cludes this stage. During NEGOTIATIONS, discussions are held with the client government, and the agreements reached are written into the loan documents. Upon completion of negotiations, the project is presented to the Executive Directors for approval. After approval, the financing agreement is signed. Project IMPLEMENTATION normally starts within a few months after the project financing agreement is signed. Coun- tries, through their implementing agencies, have full responsibility for executing of World Bank-financed projects, including hiring consultants and procuring goods and works. Contractors and suppliers, therefore, should contact appropriate officials of the implementing agency to express their interest in specific pro- jects and obtain information on what goods and ser vices will be needed and when and how to submit bids and proposals. During implementation, consultants are often used to provide technical assistance and other project implementation support. Unlike contracts for goods and works, those for consulting ser- vices are not usually advertised. Therefore, consultants in par- ticular should contact the responsible implementing agency early in the project preparation period to express their interest. Contracts for consulting services, as well as some for goods and works, may also be procured prior to loan/credit/grant approval. This is known as advance contracting. The information contained in The World Bank Monthly Opera- tional Summary is intended to enable companies to assess their interest in supplying Bank-financed projects. Further informa- tion should be requested from the countr y’s project imple- menting agency. The likelihood of a timely response is greater if the queries are brief and to the point. When possible, travel to the countr y and direct contact with relevant agency officials is recommended. Firms should contact the World Bank only if they are unable to obtain a response to their queries from the implementing agency. General information about business opportunities under Bank loans, credits, and grants may be obtained from the World Bank’s Procurement Policy and Ser vices Group’s website at http://www.worldbank.org/procure (click on bidding and con- sulting opportunities). Business opportunities arising from World Bank projects after they have been approved, including invitations to bid and to sub- mit proposals on Bank projects and notices of contract awards, appear twice a month in UN Development Business and are avail- able via the internet at UN Development Business Online at Environmental Categories The type, timing, and scope of environmental analysis to be per- formed by Bank clients are confirmed when a given project is identified. Projects are assigned one of the following categories, depending on the nature, magnitude, and sensitivity of envi- ronmental issues: Categor y A: The project may have adverse and significant environmental impacts. Full environmental assessment is nor- mally required.
issues. Partial environmental assessment is normally required. Category C: Likely to have minimal or no adverse environmental impacts. Beyond screening, no further EA action is required. Categor y FI: Involves investment of Bank funds through a financial intermediar y, in subprojects that have adverse envi- ronmental impacts. An environmental framework may be required. Categor y U: No categor y given. PAGE 4 Monthly Operational Summary AUGUST 2010 A typical summar y entr y looks like this: In addition to projects financed by the World Bank, the World Bank Monthly Operational Summar y repor ts on projects financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The GEF provides grants and concessional funding to recipient coun- tries for projects and programs that protect the global envi- ronment and promote sustainable economic growth. The facility, set up as a pilot program in 1991, was restructured and replenished with over US$ 2 billion in 1994, and replen- ished with another US$ 4 billion in 1998, to cover the agreed incremental costs of activities that benefit the global environment in four focal areas: climate change, biological diversity, inter- national waters, and stratospheric ozone. Activities concerning land degradation, primarily desertification and deforestation, as they relate to the four focal areas, are also eligible for funding. Both the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity have designated the GEF as their funding mechanism on an interim basis. GEF projects and programs are managed through three implementing agencies: the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) ,and the World Bank. The GEF Secretariat, which is functionally inde- pendent from the three implementing agencies, reports to and ser vices the Council and Assembly of the GEF. The GEF is striving for universal par ticipation, and currently 168 countries are par ticipants. Countries may be eligible for GEF funds if (a) they are eligible for financial assistance through the financial mechanism of either the Climate Change Convention or the Convention on Biological Diversity; or (b) they are eligible to bor row from the World Bank (IBRD and/or IDA) or receive technical assistance grants from UNDP through a Countr y Programme. A countr y must be a par ty to the Climate Change Convention or the Convention of Biological Diversity to receive funds from the GEF in the relevant focal area. GEF projects must be countr y-driven, incorporate consulta- tion with local communities, and, where appropriate, involve nongovernmental organizations in project implementation.
