Regarding the IA: As noted earlier, to the maximum extent possible, the IA will be recruited from the private sector – with delegated decision making authority for funds allocation and disbursement in accordance with performance-based contracts to be signed with the PA and in conformity with World Bank procurement and grant guidelines. An independent external agent will also be recruited to provide assessments of outcome achievements on the basis of which remunerations will be disbursed to the IAs. The governance arrangements and specifically the PA role in respect of the PIU and IA entities will be further developed during preparation with due consideration given to best practices in applicable international comparator models.
