  • Standard tender documents and templates of tender evaluation reports;
  • Steps to speed up the review of funding requests submitted by borrowers;
  • Policies and procedures for prevention and fight against fraud and corruption.

The session is attended by some thirty participants from operators involved in projects financed by the Bank, project supervising ministries, delegate project managers and Bank-supported water and power utilities.
