World Bank Document

The risk of delayed program implementation and inefficient use of WBG resources 

as a result of weak institutional, especially fiduciary and procurement capacity, is rated as 

high. The WBG will continue to monitor fiduciary aspects of project implementation closely 

through regular portfolio reviews and external audits. In the event of continued systemic delays in 

procurement, the scope of lending would be reduced until a resolution is reached. The WBG will 

continue to support government efforts to improve the legislative and regulatory framework for 

procurement and to build the capacity of the officials concerned.
