Evaluation of AFDB and Progress Report
Directors memo oil April 2 1979
first half of FY 79
INTRODUCTI ON
1 Attached is a first attempt at a bi-annual report As we have an
outstanding request from AIDW to provide a summary evaluation of the
project with the Bank this report also can be used for irternal
REDSOWA review and comment amnd or the basis of comments received we can
then make judgements as to wh-at problem treas have beer identified and what
corrective action needs to be taken Following internal review the reshy
port car be transmitted to AZW as our sammary evaluation
2 Although it lengthens the report it would give mistaken impshy
ressions of progress (or absence thereof) if we looked only at what has
happened since the beginning of the present fiscal year For this
reason and to give the reader something of a historical perspective
I have tried o summarize project activity since 1968
3 Although AlDt and our Project Paper calls for an evaluation there is
no provision in the Project Agreement and Amendments for an AIDBank
evaluation The previous evaluation resulted in strained relations between

half-way nark The Cape Verde iealt study is completed the TOR
prepared and it should be prablishe( ir the CBD by mid-Aprl
5 In addition to trying to identify additional projects as described
above the Bank is also very interptzd n developing investment projects
in the grain storage sector Following REDOWAs first telegram to all
West Afric countries and Washington the resxnse from field posts and
AIDW was positive Subsequently DB offered to fuzd a part of the study
from its ow resources provided that KSU team(s) reported directly to
and were supported by USAIDs (transportation hotel appointments health
room facilities) This cour-se of action is not acceptable to the Bank as
the Bank wants any work sponsored by it to be asie under the auspices
of the Bank
6 A Bank employee spent a week at KSU in Manhattan Kensas working
with the KSU Department of Economics and familiarizing himself with the
long-term approach to grain storage sector analysis
7 As of April 2 1979 forward motion in this direction slowed because
of the DSB requirement that the KSU project be administered as a mission
activity and REDSOWA desire (responding to Bank initiative) that the
contract witt KSU be funded from the Sahel grant
8 After the Banks annual meeting MMDSOWA and the Bank will endeavor
to move this activity forward
-5shy
9 Comment As noted above the principal difficulty in identifying
projects for funding under the Special Sahel grant relates to the
restrictive terms of the grant the inability of the Sahel countries
to identify prcjects and present them to the Bank within the framework
of the terms of the grant and last but not least the ineffectiveness
of CILSS in responding to the Banks request to participate in the
project identification process
10 During the next half year we anticipate nevertheless that there
will be considerable forward motion on the draw-down of these funds
REDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to solicit requests from Sahel countries
for Bank assistance in preparLig sector profiles in the fields of rural
development agriculture health and education With the arrival of
additiorpl US technical assistance personnel (Health Planner and an
Agricultural Engineer (irrigation)) we are optimistic that the rate of
project identification will increase

AFRICAN DEVELOPED7 BANK AID GRAkNT Iq0JECT 695-17
1 The original Grant Agreement is dted June 27 1968 The most
recent amendment signed on Februavy 9 2278 is the ninth It
increased the project by $10 million for a new total of $7085000
The $10 million provided by the Ninth Amendment is the first part of
a five-year program approved by a Project Taper signed mid-December 1977
The proposed five-year program totals $66 million and as originally
envisaged included four elements (i) provision of technical assistance
(ii) training (iii) modernization of financial management and (iv) preshy
investment studies Our discussion of this grant will center first on
rate of draw-down of prior-year funds followed by discussion of the
individual elements of the project agreement
2 Status of Funding As of October 1 1978 excluding the $10 million
added in February 1978 uncommitted prior-year funding totalled $1408875
available for pre-investment studies and provisions of 4 person-years of
technical assistance consisting of an agricultural economist and a sanishy
tary engineer As of April 1 1979 commitments representing contracts
for an agricultural economist for two-years and a contract with a conshy
sultant firm for health sector profiles have decreased availabilities of
prior-year monies to $120l0
-7-
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PERSONNEL
1 The Bank inter-v-iewed candidates during 1976 and 1977 for the agrishy
cultural econc st and sanitary engineer positions In late 1978 the
Bank encouragtd by RFDSOW signed a-n agreement with the Near East Foundation
(N17) to identify and provide bio-data of needed personmel at a fixed cost
chargeable to the AID grant (in fact the Bank has been paying these costs
itself) Annex C to this paper is a schedule showing the lapse of time
between the identification of personnel interviewing by the Bank and
entering on duty Please note that the time-lapse is decreasing beshy
tween identification of randidates and their arrival at the Bank
2 As of the end of the second quarter of FY 79 two US personnel
funded from the AID grant were working at the Bank and a third is under
active recruitment and should arrive in Abidjan in mid-May The agrishy
cultural economist (Dr W Peek) arrived in Aidjan December 1 1978 to
begin his assignment The same date Dr Grefarmichael sanitary engineer
arrived for his interview Following Dr Carmichaels acceptance by the
Bank the Bank neglected to forward to him immediatel~r his contract prishy
marily for reasons of administrative procedures (typing obtaining neshy
oszary clearances etc ) However Dr Carmichael did arrive in
Abidjan on March 24 1979
3 Under funding provided by the February 9 1978 Amendment to the
Grant Agreement provision is made for two senior-project advisors
-8shy
(macro-economists) and one financial analyst Durirg FY 78 two
candidates were identified by the Bank (Mssrs Chesky and Jackson)
who were interviewed and their candidacies accepted by the Bank The
Bank made offers to both of these individuaas but in the case of
YMr Jackson the Bank would not meet his salary requirements in the
case of Yz_ Chesk2o the Bank was tardy in submitting to him a detailed
job description including a description of his relationship to Mr Jackscn
(whom he had known in the Philippines) As a result Mr Chesky withdrew
his application
4 Subseq ently (October 1978) the Bank requested that AID concur in
funding a contract with the Harvard Institute of International Developement
(HIID) to provide a five-man team to the Policy Planning and Development
Department of the Banc For legislative and administrative reasons AID
could not aczeed to the Banks request to tund a contract with H1ID on
the basis of predominanit capability The agi eement reached between
AID and the Bank as a result of this request is that AID agrzes to fund
two positions of the proposed five-man team as long as
(1) no AID funds are used to cover HIID overhead costs and (2) the
arrangements between the Bank and the two AID-funded advisors meet the
test of AID host-country contracts for individual services Effective
mid-March 1979 the Director of the Policy Planning and Development
Branch Dr T Gedamnu said the Bank had received a text of a contract
from EID and that his office was sending it forward to the Bank
management for signature As of April 3 1979 according to informal inshy
-9shy
formal irnormation from the Bank the contract has not been signued by
Bank Management Recruitment of the two proposed AZfunded positions
is however underway end Dr Gedamu has assurances from HI71 that inshy
dividuals have beer recruited and biodata will be sent forward within
a short time
5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment
- 13 -
MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

half-way nark The Cape Verde iealt study is completed the TOR
prepared and it should be prablishe( ir the CBD by mid-Aprl
5 In addition to trying to identify additional projects as described
above the Bank is also very interptzd n developing investment projects
in the grain storage sector Following REDOWAs first telegram to all
West Afric countries and Washington the resxnse from field posts and
AIDW was positive Subsequently DB offered to fuzd a part of the study
from its ow resources provided that KSU team(s) reported directly to
and were supported by USAIDs (transportation hotel appointments health
room facilities) This cour-se of action is not acceptable to the Bank as
the Bank wants any work sponsored by it to be asie under the auspices
of the Bank
6 A Bank employee spent a week at KSU in Manhattan Kensas working
with the KSU Department of Economics and familiarizing himself with the
long-term approach to grain storage sector analysis
7 As of April 2 1979 forward motion in this direction slowed because
of the DSB requirement that the KSU project be administered as a mission
activity and REDSOWA desire (responding to Bank initiative) that the
contract witt KSU be funded from the Sahel grant
8 After the Banks annual meeting MMDSOWA and the Bank will endeavor
to move this activity forward
-5shy
9 Comment As noted above the principal difficulty in identifying
projects for funding under the Special Sahel grant relates to the
restrictive terms of the grant the inability of the Sahel countries
to identify prcjects and present them to the Bank within the framework
of the terms of the grant and last but not least the ineffectiveness
of CILSS in responding to the Banks request to participate in the
project identification process
10 During the next half year we anticipate nevertheless that there
will be considerable forward motion on the draw-down of these funds
REDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to solicit requests from Sahel countries
for Bank assistance in preparLig sector profiles in the fields of rural
development agriculture health and education With the arrival of
additiorpl US technical assistance personnel (Health Planner and an
Agricultural Engineer (irrigation)) we are optimistic that the rate of
project identification will increase

AFRICAN DEVELOPED7 BANK AID GRAkNT Iq0JECT 695-17
1 The original Grant Agreement is dted June 27 1968 The most
recent amendment signed on Februavy 9 2278 is the ninth It
increased the project by $10 million for a new total of $7085000
The $10 million provided by the Ninth Amendment is the first part of
a five-year program approved by a Project Taper signed mid-December 1977
The proposed five-year program totals $66 million and as originally
envisaged included four elements (i) provision of technical assistance
(ii) training (iii) modernization of financial management and (iv) preshy
investment studies Our discussion of this grant will center first on
rate of draw-down of prior-year funds followed by discussion of the
individual elements of the project agreement
2 Status of Funding As of October 1 1978 excluding the $10 million
added in February 1978 uncommitted prior-year funding totalled $1408875
available for pre-investment studies and provisions of 4 person-years of
technical assistance consisting of an agricultural economist and a sanishy
tary engineer As of April 1 1979 commitments representing contracts
for an agricultural economist for two-years and a contract with a conshy
sultant firm for health sector profiles have decreased availabilities of
prior-year monies to $120l0
-7-
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PERSONNEL
1 The Bank inter-v-iewed candidates during 1976 and 1977 for the agrishy
cultural econc st and sanitary engineer positions In late 1978 the
Bank encouragtd by RFDSOW signed a-n agreement with the Near East Foundation
(N17) to identify and provide bio-data of needed personmel at a fixed cost
chargeable to the AID grant (in fact the Bank has been paying these costs
itself) Annex C to this paper is a schedule showing the lapse of time
between the identification of personnel interviewing by the Bank and
entering on duty Please note that the time-lapse is decreasing beshy
tween identification of randidates and their arrival at the Bank
2 As of the end of the second quarter of FY 79 two US personnel
funded from the AID grant were working at the Bank and a third is under
active recruitment and should arrive in Abidjan in mid-May The agrishy
cultural economist (Dr W Peek) arrived in Aidjan December 1 1978 to
begin his assignment The same date Dr Grefarmichael sanitary engineer
arrived for his interview Following Dr Carmichaels acceptance by the
Bank the Bank neglected to forward to him immediatel~r his contract prishy
marily for reasons of administrative procedures (typing obtaining neshy
oszary clearances etc ) However Dr Carmichael did arrive in
Abidjan on March 24 1979
3 Under funding provided by the February 9 1978 Amendment to the
Grant Agreement provision is made for two senior-project advisors
-8shy
(macro-economists) and one financial analyst Durirg FY 78 two
candidates were identified by the Bank (Mssrs Chesky and Jackson)
who were interviewed and their candidacies accepted by the Bank The
Bank made offers to both of these individuaas but in the case of
YMr Jackson the Bank would not meet his salary requirements in the
case of Yz_ Chesk2o the Bank was tardy in submitting to him a detailed
job description including a description of his relationship to Mr Jackscn
(whom he had known in the Philippines) As a result Mr Chesky withdrew
his application
4 Subseq ently (October 1978) the Bank requested that AID concur in
funding a contract with the Harvard Institute of International Developement
(HIID) to provide a five-man team to the Policy Planning and Development
Department of the Banc For legislative and administrative reasons AID
could not aczeed to the Banks request to tund a contract with H1ID on
the basis of predominanit capability The agi eement reached between
AID and the Bank as a result of this request is that AID agrzes to fund
two positions of the proposed five-man team as long as
(1) no AID funds are used to cover HIID overhead costs and (2) the
arrangements between the Bank and the two AID-funded advisors meet the
test of AID host-country contracts for individual services Effective
mid-March 1979 the Director of the Policy Planning and Development
Branch Dr T Gedamnu said the Bank had received a text of a contract
from EID and that his office was sending it forward to the Bank
management for signature As of April 3 1979 according to informal inshy
-9shy
formal irnormation from the Bank the contract has not been signued by
Bank Management Recruitment of the two proposed AZfunded positions
is however underway end Dr Gedamu has assurances from HI71 that inshy
dividuals have beer recruited and biodata will be sent forward within
a short time
5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment
- 13 -
MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

half-way nark The Cape Verde iealt study is completed the TOR
prepared and it should be prablishe( ir the CBD by mid-Aprl
5 In addition to trying to identify additional projects as described
above the Bank is also very interptzd n developing investment projects
in the grain storage sector Following REDOWAs first telegram to all
West Afric countries and Washington the resxnse from field posts and
AIDW was positive Subsequently DB offered to fuzd a part of the study
from its ow resources provided that KSU team(s) reported directly to
and were supported by USAIDs (transportation hotel appointments health
room facilities) This cour-se of action is not acceptable to the Bank as
the Bank wants any work sponsored by it to be asie under the auspices
of the Bank
6 A Bank employee spent a week at KSU in Manhattan Kensas working
with the KSU Department of Economics and familiarizing himself with the
long-term approach to grain storage sector analysis
7 As of April 2 1979 forward motion in this direction slowed because
of the DSB requirement that the KSU project be administered as a mission
activity and REDSOWA desire (responding to Bank initiative) that the
contract witt KSU be funded from the Sahel grant
8 After the Banks annual meeting MMDSOWA and the Bank will endeavor
to move this activity forward
-5shy
9 Comment As noted above the principal difficulty in identifying
projects for funding under the Special Sahel grant relates to the
restrictive terms of the grant the inability of the Sahel countries
to identify prcjects and present them to the Bank within the framework
of the terms of the grant and last but not least the ineffectiveness
of CILSS in responding to the Banks request to participate in the
project identification process
10 During the next half year we anticipate nevertheless that there
will be considerable forward motion on the draw-down of these funds
REDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to solicit requests from Sahel countries
for Bank assistance in preparLig sector profiles in the fields of rural
development agriculture health and education With the arrival of
additiorpl US technical assistance personnel (Health Planner and an
Agricultural Engineer (irrigation)) we are optimistic that the rate of
project identification will increase

AFRICAN DEVELOPED7 BANK AID GRAkNT Iq0JECT 695-17
1 The original Grant Agreement is dted June 27 1968 The most
recent amendment signed on Februavy 9 2278 is the ninth It
increased the project by $10 million for a new total of $7085000
The $10 million provided by the Ninth Amendment is the first part of
a five-year program approved by a Project Taper signed mid-December 1977
The proposed five-year program totals $66 million and as originally
envisaged included four elements (i) provision of technical assistance
(ii) training (iii) modernization of financial management and (iv) preshy
investment studies Our discussion of this grant will center first on
rate of draw-down of prior-year funds followed by discussion of the
individual elements of the project agreement
2 Status of Funding As of October 1 1978 excluding the $10 million
added in February 1978 uncommitted prior-year funding totalled $1408875
available for pre-investment studies and provisions of 4 person-years of
technical assistance consisting of an agricultural economist and a sanishy
tary engineer As of April 1 1979 commitments representing contracts
for an agricultural economist for two-years and a contract with a conshy
sultant firm for health sector profiles have decreased availabilities of
prior-year monies to $120l0
-7-
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PERSONNEL
1 The Bank inter-v-iewed candidates during 1976 and 1977 for the agrishy
cultural econc st and sanitary engineer positions In late 1978 the
Bank encouragtd by RFDSOW signed a-n agreement with the Near East Foundation
(N17) to identify and provide bio-data of needed personmel at a fixed cost
chargeable to the AID grant (in fact the Bank has been paying these costs
itself) Annex C to this paper is a schedule showing the lapse of time
between the identification of personnel interviewing by the Bank and
entering on duty Please note that the time-lapse is decreasing beshy
tween identification of randidates and their arrival at the Bank
2 As of the end of the second quarter of FY 79 two US personnel
funded from the AID grant were working at the Bank and a third is under
active recruitment and should arrive in Abidjan in mid-May The agrishy
cultural economist (Dr W Peek) arrived in Aidjan December 1 1978 to
begin his assignment The same date Dr Grefarmichael sanitary engineer
arrived for his interview Following Dr Carmichaels acceptance by the
Bank the Bank neglected to forward to him immediatel~r his contract prishy
marily for reasons of administrative procedures (typing obtaining neshy
oszary clearances etc ) However Dr Carmichael did arrive in
Abidjan on March 24 1979
3 Under funding provided by the February 9 1978 Amendment to the
Grant Agreement provision is made for two senior-project advisors
-8shy
(macro-economists) and one financial analyst Durirg FY 78 two
candidates were identified by the Bank (Mssrs Chesky and Jackson)
who were interviewed and their candidacies accepted by the Bank The
Bank made offers to both of these individuaas but in the case of
YMr Jackson the Bank would not meet his salary requirements in the
case of Yz_ Chesk2o the Bank was tardy in submitting to him a detailed
job description including a description of his relationship to Mr Jackscn
(whom he had known in the Philippines) As a result Mr Chesky withdrew
his application
4 Subseq ently (October 1978) the Bank requested that AID concur in
funding a contract with the Harvard Institute of International Developement
(HIID) to provide a five-man team to the Policy Planning and Development
Department of the Banc For legislative and administrative reasons AID
could not aczeed to the Banks request to tund a contract with H1ID on
the basis of predominanit capability The agi eement reached between
AID and the Bank as a result of this request is that AID agrzes to fund
two positions of the proposed five-man team as long as
(1) no AID funds are used to cover HIID overhead costs and (2) the
arrangements between the Bank and the two AID-funded advisors meet the
test of AID host-country contracts for individual services Effective
mid-March 1979 the Director of the Policy Planning and Development
Branch Dr T Gedamnu said the Bank had received a text of a contract
from EID and that his office was sending it forward to the Bank
management for signature As of April 3 1979 according to informal inshy
-9shy
formal irnormation from the Bank the contract has not been signued by
Bank Management Recruitment of the two proposed AZfunded positions
is however underway end Dr Gedamu has assurances from HI71 that inshy
dividuals have beer recruited and biodata will be sent forward within
a short time
5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment
- 13 -
MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy

5 In addition to trying to identify additional projects as described
above the Bank is also very interptzd n developing investment projects
in the grain storage sector Following REDOWAs first telegram to all
West Afric countries and Washington the resxnse from field posts and
AIDW was positive Subsequently DB offered to fuzd a part of the study
from its ow resources provided that KSU team(s) reported directly to
and were supported by USAIDs (transportation hotel appointments health
room facilities) This cour-se of action is not acceptable to the Bank as
the Bank wants any work sponsored by it to be asie under the auspices
of the Bank
6 A Bank employee spent a week at KSU in Manhattan Kensas working
with the KSU Department of Economics and familiarizing himself with the
long-term approach to grain storage sector analysis
7 As of April 2 1979 forward motion in this direction slowed because
of the DSB requirement that the KSU project be administered as a mission
activity and REDSOWA desire (responding to Bank initiative) that the
contract witt KSU be funded from the Sahel grant
8 After the Banks annual meeting MMDSOWA and the Bank will endeavor
to move this activity forward
-5shy
9 Comment As noted above the principal difficulty in identifying
projects for funding under the Special Sahel grant relates to the
restrictive terms of the grant the inability of the Sahel countries
to identify prcjects and present them to the Bank within the framework
of the terms of the grant and last but not least the ineffectiveness
of CILSS in responding to the Banks request to participate in the
project identification process
10 During the next half year we anticipate nevertheless that there
will be considerable forward motion on the draw-down of these funds
REDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to solicit requests from Sahel countries
for Bank assistance in preparLig sector profiles in the fields of rural
development agriculture health and education With the arrival of
additiorpl US technical assistance personnel (Health Planner and an
Agricultural Engineer (irrigation)) we are optimistic that the rate of
project identification will increase

AFRICAN DEVELOPED7 BANK AID GRAkNT Iq0JECT 695-17
1 The original Grant Agreement is dted June 27 1968 The most
recent amendment signed on Februavy 9 2278 is the ninth It
increased the project by $10 million for a new total of $7085000
The $10 million provided by the Ninth Amendment is the first part of
a five-year program approved by a Project Taper signed mid-December 1977
The proposed five-year program totals $66 million and as originally
envisaged included four elements (i) provision of technical assistance
(ii) training (iii) modernization of financial management and (iv) preshy
investment studies Our discussion of this grant will center first on
rate of draw-down of prior-year funds followed by discussion of the
individual elements of the project agreement
2 Status of Funding As of October 1 1978 excluding the $10 million
added in February 1978 uncommitted prior-year funding totalled $1408875
available for pre-investment studies and provisions of 4 person-years of
technical assistance consisting of an agricultural economist and a sanishy
tary engineer As of April 1 1979 commitments representing contracts
for an agricultural economist for two-years and a contract with a conshy
sultant firm for health sector profiles have decreased availabilities of
prior-year monies to $120l0
-7-
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PERSONNEL
1 The Bank inter-v-iewed candidates during 1976 and 1977 for the agrishy
cultural econc st and sanitary engineer positions In late 1978 the
Bank encouragtd by RFDSOW signed a-n agreement with the Near East Foundation
(N17) to identify and provide bio-data of needed personmel at a fixed cost
chargeable to the AID grant (in fact the Bank has been paying these costs
itself) Annex C to this paper is a schedule showing the lapse of time
between the identification of personnel interviewing by the Bank and
entering on duty Please note that the time-lapse is decreasing beshy
tween identification of randidates and their arrival at the Bank
2 As of the end of the second quarter of FY 79 two US personnel
funded from the AID grant were working at the Bank and a third is under
active recruitment and should arrive in Abidjan in mid-May The agrishy
cultural economist (Dr W Peek) arrived in Aidjan December 1 1978 to
begin his assignment The same date Dr Grefarmichael sanitary engineer
arrived for his interview Following Dr Carmichaels acceptance by the
Bank the Bank neglected to forward to him immediatel~r his contract prishy
marily for reasons of administrative procedures (typing obtaining neshy
oszary clearances etc ) However Dr Carmichael did arrive in
Abidjan on March 24 1979
3 Under funding provided by the February 9 1978 Amendment to the
Grant Agreement provision is made for two senior-project advisors
-8shy
(macro-economists) and one financial analyst Durirg FY 78 two
candidates were identified by the Bank (Mssrs Chesky and Jackson)
who were interviewed and their candidacies accepted by the Bank The
Bank made offers to both of these individuaas but in the case of
YMr Jackson the Bank would not meet his salary requirements in the
case of Yz_ Chesk2o the Bank was tardy in submitting to him a detailed
job description including a description of his relationship to Mr Jackscn
(whom he had known in the Philippines) As a result Mr Chesky withdrew
his application
4 Subseq ently (October 1978) the Bank requested that AID concur in
funding a contract with the Harvard Institute of International Developement
(HIID) to provide a five-man team to the Policy Planning and Development
Department of the Banc For legislative and administrative reasons AID
could not aczeed to the Banks request to tund a contract with H1ID on
the basis of predominanit capability The agi eement reached between
AID and the Bank as a result of this request is that AID agrzes to fund
two positions of the proposed five-man team as long as
(1) no AID funds are used to cover HIID overhead costs and (2) the
arrangements between the Bank and the two AID-funded advisors meet the
test of AID host-country contracts for individual services Effective
mid-March 1979 the Director of the Policy Planning and Development
Branch Dr T Gedamnu said the Bank had received a text of a contract
from EID and that his office was sending it forward to the Bank
management for signature As of April 3 1979 according to informal inshy
-9shy
formal irnormation from the Bank the contract has not been signued by
Bank Management Recruitment of the two proposed AZfunded positions
is however underway end Dr Gedamu has assurances from HI71 that inshy
dividuals have beer recruited and biodata will be sent forward within
a short time
5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment
- 13 -
MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

9 Comment As noted above the principal difficulty in identifying
projects for funding under the Special Sahel grant relates to the
restrictive terms of the grant the inability of the Sahel countries
to identify prcjects and present them to the Bank within the framework
of the terms of the grant and last but not least the ineffectiveness
of CILSS in responding to the Banks request to participate in the
project identification process
10 During the next half year we anticipate nevertheless that there
will be considerable forward motion on the draw-down of these funds
REDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to solicit requests from Sahel countries
for Bank assistance in preparLig sector profiles in the fields of rural
development agriculture health and education With the arrival of
additiorpl US technical assistance personnel (Health Planner and an
Agricultural Engineer (irrigation)) we are optimistic that the rate of
project identification will increase

AFRICAN DEVELOPED7 BANK AID GRAkNT Iq0JECT 695-17
1 The original Grant Agreement is dted June 27 1968 The most
recent amendment signed on Februavy 9 2278 is the ninth It
increased the project by $10 million for a new total of $7085000
The $10 million provided by the Ninth Amendment is the first part of
a five-year program approved by a Project Taper signed mid-December 1977
The proposed five-year program totals $66 million and as originally
envisaged included four elements (i) provision of technical assistance
(ii) training (iii) modernization of financial management and (iv) preshy
investment studies Our discussion of this grant will center first on
rate of draw-down of prior-year funds followed by discussion of the
individual elements of the project agreement
2 Status of Funding As of October 1 1978 excluding the $10 million
added in February 1978 uncommitted prior-year funding totalled $1408875
available for pre-investment studies and provisions of 4 person-years of
technical assistance consisting of an agricultural economist and a sanishy
tary engineer As of April 1 1979 commitments representing contracts
for an agricultural economist for two-years and a contract with a conshy
sultant firm for health sector profiles have decreased availabilities of
prior-year monies to $120l0

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PERSONNEL
1 The Bank inter-v-iewed candidates during 1976 and 1977 for the agrishy
cultural econc st and sanitary engineer positions In late 1978 the
Bank encouragtd by RFDSOW signed a-n agreement with the Near East Foundation
(N17) to identify and provide bio-data of needed personmel at a fixed cost
chargeable to the AID grant (in fact the Bank has been paying these costs
itself) Annex C to this paper is a schedule showing the lapse of time
between the identification of personnel interviewing by the Bank and
entering on duty Please note that the time-lapse is decreasing beshy
tween identification of randidates and their arrival at the Bank
2 As of the end of the second quarter of FY 79 two US personnel
funded from the AID grant were working at the Bank and a third is under
active recruitment and should arrive in Abidjan in mid-May The agrishy
cultural economist (Dr W Peek) arrived in Aidjan December 1 1978 to
begin his assignment The same date Dr Grefarmichael sanitary engineer
arrived for his interview Following Dr Carmichaels acceptance by the
Bank the Bank neglected to forward to him immediatel~r his contract prishy
marily for reasons of administrative procedures (typing obtaining neshy
oszary clearances etc ) However Dr Carmichael did arrive in
Abidjan on March 24 1979
3 Under funding provided by the February 9 1978 Amendment to the
Grant Agreement provision is made for two senior-project advisors
-8shy
(macro-economists) and one financial analyst Durirg FY 78 two
candidates were identified by the Bank (Mssrs Chesky and Jackson)
who were interviewed and their candidacies accepted by the Bank The
Bank made offers to both of these individuaas but in the case of
YMr Jackson the Bank would not meet his salary requirements in the
case of Yz_ Chesk2o the Bank was tardy in submitting to him a detailed
job description including a description of his relationship to Mr Jackscn
(whom he had known in the Philippines) As a result Mr Chesky withdrew
his application
4 Subseq ently (October 1978) the Bank requested that AID concur in
funding a contract with the Harvard Institute of International Developement
(HIID) to provide a five-man team to the Policy Planning and Development
Department of the Banc For legislative and administrative reasons AID
could not aczeed to the Banks request to tund a contract with H1ID on
the basis of predominanit capability The agi eement reached between
AID and the Bank as a result of this request is that AID agrzes to fund
two positions of the proposed five-man team as long as
(1) no AID funds are used to cover HIID overhead costs and (2) the
arrangements between the Bank and the two AID-funded advisors meet the
test of AID host-country contracts for individual services Effective
mid-March 1979 the Director of the Policy Planning and Development
Branch Dr T Gedamnu said the Bank had received a text of a contract
from EID and that his office was sending it forward to the Bank
management for signature As of April 3 1979 according to informal inshy
-9shy
formal irnormation from the Bank the contract has not been signued by
Bank Management Recruitment of the two proposed AZfunded positions
is however underway end Dr Gedamu has assurances from HI71 that inshy
dividuals have beer recruited and biodata will be sent forward within
a short time
5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment
- 13 -
MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

AFRICAN DEVELOPED7 BANK AID GRAkNT Iq0JECT 695-17
1 The original Grant Agreement is dted June 27 1968 The most
recent amendment signed on Februavy 9 2278 is the ninth It
increased the project by $10 million for a new total of $7085000
The $10 million provided by the Ninth Amendment is the first part of
a five-year program approved by a Project Taper signed mid-December 1977
The proposed five-year program totals $66 million and as originally
envisaged included four elements (i) provision of technical assistance
(ii) training (iii) modernization of financial management and (iv) preshy
investment studies Our discussion of this grant will center first on
rate of draw-down of prior-year funds followed by discussion of the
individual elements of the project agreement
2 Status of Funding As of October 1 1978 excluding the $10 million
added in February 1978 uncommitted prior-year funding totalled $1408875
available for pre-investment studies and provisions of 4 person-years of
technical assistance consisting of an agricultural economist and a sanishy
tary engineer As of April 1 1979 commitments representing contracts
for an agricultural economist for two-years and a contract with a conshy
sultant firm for health sector profiles have decreased availabilities of
prior-year monies to $120l0
-7-
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PERSONNEL
1 The Bank inter-v-iewed candidates during 1976 and 1977 for the agrishy
cultural econc st and sanitary engineer positions In late 1978 the
Bank encouragtd by RFDSOW signed a-n agreement with the Near East Foundation
(N17) to identify and provide bio-data of needed personmel at a fixed cost
chargeable to the AID grant (in fact the Bank has been paying these costs
itself) Annex C to this paper is a schedule showing the lapse of time
between the identification of personnel interviewing by the Bank and
entering on duty Please note that the time-lapse is decreasing beshy
tween identification of randidates and their arrival at the Bank
2 As of the end of the second quarter of FY 79 two US personnel
funded from the AID grant were working at the Bank and a third is under
active recruitment and should arrive in Abidjan in mid-May The agrishy
cultural economist (Dr W Peek) arrived in Aidjan December 1 1978 to
begin his assignment The same date Dr Grefarmichael sanitary engineer
arrived for his interview Following Dr Carmichaels acceptance by the
Bank the Bank neglected to forward to him immediatel~r his contract prishy
marily for reasons of administrative procedures (typing obtaining neshy
oszary clearances etc ) However Dr Carmichael did arrive in
Abidjan on March 24 1979
3 Under funding provided by the February 9 1978 Amendment to the
Grant Agreement provision is made for two senior-project advisors
-8shy
(macro-economists) and one financial analyst Durirg FY 78 two
candidates were identified by the Bank (Mssrs Chesky and Jackson)
who were interviewed and their candidacies accepted by the Bank The
Bank made offers to both of these individuaas but in the case of
YMr Jackson the Bank would not meet his salary requirements in the
case of Yz_ Chesk2o the Bank was tardy in submitting to him a detailed
job description including a description of his relationship to Mr Jackscn
(whom he had known in the Philippines) As a result Mr Chesky withdrew
his application
4 Subseq ently (October 1978) the Bank requested that AID concur in
funding a contract with the Harvard Institute of International Developement
(HIID) to provide a five-man team to the Policy Planning and Development
Department of the Banc For legislative and administrative reasons AID
could not aczeed to the Banks request to tund a contract with H1ID on
the basis of predominanit capability The agi eement reached between
AID and the Bank as a result of this request is that AID agrzes to fund
two positions of the proposed five-man team as long as
(1) no AID funds are used to cover HIID overhead costs and (2) the
arrangements between the Bank and the two AID-funded advisors meet the
test of AID host-country contracts for individual services Effective
mid-March 1979 the Director of the Policy Planning and Development
Branch Dr T Gedamnu said the Bank had received a text of a contract
from EID and that his office was sending it forward to the Bank
management for signature As of April 3 1979 according to informal inshy
-9shy
formal irnormation from the Bank the contract has not been signued by
Bank Management Recruitment of the two proposed AZfunded positions
is however underway end Dr Gedamu has assurances from HI71 that inshy
dividuals have beer recruited and biodata will be sent forward within
a short time
5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment
- 13 -
MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PERSONNEL
1 The Bank inter-v-iewed candidates during 1976 and 1977 for the agrishy
cultural econc st and sanitary engineer positions In late 1978 the
Bank encouragtd by RFDSOW signed a-n agreement with the Near East Foundation
(N17) to identify and provide bio-data of needed personmel at a fixed cost
chargeable to the AID grant (in fact the Bank has been paying these costs
itself) Annex C to this paper is a schedule showing the lapse of time
between the identification of personnel interviewing by the Bank and
entering on duty Please note that the time-lapse is decreasing beshy
tween identification of randidates and their arrival at the Bank
2 As of the end of the second quarter of FY 79 two US personnel
funded from the AID grant were working at the Bank and a third is under
active recruitment and should arrive in Abidjan in mid-May The agrishy
cultural economist (Dr W Peek) arrived in Aidjan December 1 1978 to
begin his assignment The same date Dr Grefarmichael sanitary engineer
arrived for his interview Following Dr Carmichaels acceptance by the
Bank the Bank neglected to forward to him immediatel~r his contract prishy
marily for reasons of administrative procedures (typing obtaining neshy
oszary clearances etc ) However Dr Carmichael did arrive in
Abidjan on March 24 1979
3 Under funding provided by the February 9 1978 Amendment to the
Grant Agreement provision is made for two senior-project advisors
-8shy
(macro-economists) and one financial analyst Durirg FY 78 two
candidates were identified by the Bank (Mssrs Chesky and Jackson)
who were interviewed and their candidacies accepted by the Bank The
Bank made offers to both of these individuaas but in the case of
YMr Jackson the Bank would not meet his salary requirements in the
case of Yz_ Chesk2o the Bank was tardy in submitting to him a detailed
job description including a description of his relationship to Mr Jackscn
(whom he had known in the Philippines) As a result Mr Chesky withdrew
his application
4 Subseq ently (October 1978) the Bank requested that AID concur in
funding a contract with the Harvard Institute of International Developement
(HIID) to provide a five-man team to the Policy Planning and Development
Department of the Banc For legislative and administrative reasons AID
could not aczeed to the Banks request to tund a contract with H1ID on
the basis of predominanit capability The agi eement reached between
AID and the Bank as a result of this request is that AID agrzes to fund
two positions of the proposed five-man team as long as
(1) no AID funds are used to cover HIID overhead costs and (2) the
arrangements between the Bank and the two AID-funded advisors meet the
test of AID host-country contracts for individual services Effective
mid-March 1979 the Director of the Policy Planning and Development
Branch Dr T Gedamnu said the Bank had received a text of a contract
from EID and that his office was sending it forward to the Bank
management for signature As of April 3 1979 according to informal inshy
-9shy
formal irnormation from the Bank the contract has not been signued by
Bank Management Recruitment of the two proposed AZfunded positions
is however underway end Dr Gedamu has assurances from HI71 that inshy
dividuals have beer recruited and biodata will be sent forward within
a short time
5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment
- 13 -
MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

(macro-economists) and one financial analyst Durirg FY 78 two
candidates were identified by the Bank (Mssrs Chesky and Jackson)
who were interviewed and their candidacies accepted by the Bank The
Bank made offers to both of these individuaas but in the case of
YMr Jackson the Bank would not meet his salary requirements in the
case of Yz_ Chesk2o the Bank was tardy in submitting to him a detailed
job description including a description of his relationship to Mr Jackscn
(whom he had known in the Philippines) As a result Mr Chesky withdrew
his application
4 Subseq ently (October 1978) the Bank requested that AID concur in
funding a contract with the Harvard Institute of International Developement
(HIID) to provide a five-man team to the Policy Planning and Development
Department of the Banc For legislative and administrative reasons AID
could not aczeed to the Banks request to tund a contract with H1ID on
the basis of predominanit capability The agi eement reached between
AID and the Bank as a result of this request is that AID agrzes to fund
two positions of the proposed five-man team as long as
(1) no AID funds are used to cover HIID overhead costs and (2) the
arrangements between the Bank and the two AID-funded advisors meet the
test of AID host-country contracts for individual services Effective
mid-March 1979 the Director of the Policy Planning and Development
Branch Dr T Gedamnu said the Bank had received a text of a contract
from EID and that his office was sending it forward to the Bank
management for signature As of April 3 1979 according to informal inshy
-9shy
formal irnormation from the Bank the contract has not been signued by
Bank Management Recruitment of the two proposed AZfunded positions
is however underway end Dr Gedamu has assurances from HI71 that inshy
dividuals have beer recruited and biodata will be sent forward within
a short time
5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment

MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

5 Concerning the financial analyst position Mr K Erickson was
interviewed by the Bank on March 14 1979 and a telex was sent to him
by the Bank on March e3 1979 advising him that his candidacy had been
accepted and that a contract would be mailed to him The contract was
mailed to Mr Erickson from New York on April 14 1979 REDSOWA subshy
sequently telegraphed AIDW to telephone Mr Erickson and ascertain if he
intends to accept the job offer and also to request that he advise AIDW
when he receives the contract signs it and mails it back AIDA has
now confirmed signiture of the contract on April 17 3979 and 1r Ericksons
intention to arrive May 11 1979
6 During Mr Dennis Conroys visit to Abidjan February 1-3 1979
he REDSOWA Director Gordon W Evans and DD for Regional Affairs
David E Dibble called on Vice-Ptesident Gondwe During the meeting
among other things the Bank requested two additional positions a
Training Advisor and an Agricultural Engineer (Irrigation) The Health
Planner position is included in the approved PP for funding in FY 79
the Agricultural Engineer position is new Oral acceptance in principle
was given by the REDSOWA and AIDW team to the new positions and
subsequently a formal written request was transmitted by the Bank to
REDSOWA MESOWA has prepared the documentation formalizin thfosts
- 10 shy
but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment

MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

but the documentation carnot be approved until additional funding is
made availrhle A telegram has been sent to AIDW requesting approval
cf the additional positions with the request for FY 79 funding-Mr Conroy
Director A-PYRA telephoned Mr Evans that A=k agrees in principlIe to
the requests for the positions and funding but that a Project Paper
Amendment will be required
7 Comment Prior to FY 78 and through about the first half FY 78 the
Personnel Office of the African Development Bank was understaffed Mr
Mario Shedid an experienced personnel officer was moved into that office
about September 1978 and subsequently there has been more forward motion
One of the areas in which US technical assistance could be used to good
advantage if the Bank so desired would be in personnel administraticn
The Bank has lost more than one good condidate (African or expatriate)
because its interanl processing is slow (usual routine is recruitment by
Personnel intervieving by Projects approval by Projects Projects reshy
quests Personnel Administration Department to initiate processing to hire
etc) All these steps involve a good many delays and in the event that a
key senior official is not available (in travel status etc) all forward
movement of documentation can come to a standstill
NB - Canada Switzerland (Frenchman hired by the Swiss because
Switzerlai could not locate a Siss to take the job) and the US
are the only three countries that require the Bank to contract directly
for services The other donors prorvide their expatriates with housing
1 See Abidjan 2894 attached Annex D
TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment

MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management

The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently

is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval

TRAIING
1 Prior to FY 1976 REDSOWA indicated to the Bank that it was prepared
to support training initiatives if the Bank would prepare an outline of
a long-term (five-year) training program but the requested training
program has not been forthcoming The PP the recent Amendment and
Letter of implementation no 46 provide for a training componensuring
the current five-year program including secondment of Bank personnel to
other regional development banks and short-term training specialists to
assist the Training Division in developing a long-term training program
2 Dr Stephen Grant a recent arrival at REDSOWA and a Human Resources
Development Officer has accepted the responsibility of assisting the
Bank to develop a training program Mr Aithnard the present Director
of Training is of the opinion that the training outline prepared by the
Economic Development Institute (EDI) of IRD was sufficient for REDSOWA
needs even though it gives priority to the training of personnel from
other development banks Further Mr Aithnard continues to give a high
priority to an English-language teachiag laboratory
pay them directly and in general leave thm free to pursue their
professional activities The expatriate personnel from the US
Canada and Switzerland devote almor~t their entire time during the
first three months (and in one case longer) in wing to find housing
procuring appliances and furnit -e clearing vehicles and airfreight
through customs walking through salary payments etc
i See Annex E for Training to date
-12shy
3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment
- 13 -
MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

3 During the visit of Mr Madison Seymour of DSB and an AIDW contracshy
tor Mr Alan Kulakow they had two meetings with Mr Aithnard concernshy
ing training and the use of contractors for the development cf a trainshy
ing plan Mr Aithnards recollection was the discussion centered exshy
clusively on language laboratories This does not reflect the informshy
ation provided to me by Mr Seymour to the effect that the whole range
of training activities was reviewed including the teaching of English
and French Following more discussions between Dr Grant and Mr Aithnard
it was agreed that REDSOWA would explore the possibility of providing a
full-time training specialist and this request was duly reflected in
REDSOWAs telegram to AIDW requesting FY 79 funds 1
4 Concerning the request for a language laboratory made oral4 by
President Fordwor and Vice-President Gondwe to Mr Conroy during the
latters visit Mr Conroy followed up on the request after his return
to AIDW and sent us a telegram saying that it was not among AIDWs
policies to provide such equipment

MODERNIZATION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMET
The original purpose of this activity was to assist the Bank in the
design installation and use of automatic data processing (ADP) based
on a pre-investment report drafted by an AIDW financial management
officer The Bank was not prepared to go through the design phase and
insisted that all that it needed was the equipment Following detailed
exchanges cf view the Bank asked that this element of thefrogram be
cancelled and the allocation of funds for FY 78 ($50000) be used for
other purpose REDSOWA concurred in this request

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

cleampranes at the Bank
5 Coment There are several reasons why pre-investment studies move
slowly within the Bankh Most of the Bank officers have minial experience
a_in developmen as activity and minimal bureaucratic e hrerience There
is also considerabie hesitanc- on the part of Bank staff to teke decisions sen e r
in the of S aprnip- sc lettersabec aur
telegrams etc are drafted typed but are dispatched only after
considerable delay The same delays are experienced in the Banks proshy
cessing of contractors billing Thus unnecessary delays result in
draw-dow-ns of US (and other dcnors) grant funds
6 By policy and practice as far as selection of projects is concerned
the Bank primarily responds to requests from member countries if the
requests are not forthcoming there is no activity As a result the
countries nearest the Bank physically (West and Central Africa) receive
the largest number of loans However the Bank also sends Project Identishy
fication Teams to member countries The teams are usually headed by a
senior operations officer accompanied by a loan officer and an engineer
economist from the Projects Department This approach is good in principle
but does not result in much more than a shopping list of projects
7 Although REDSOWA has made considerable effort to demonstrate to
the Bank and its personnel how to do things in a way that is more-or-less
common internationally the absence of a system thoughout the Bank impedes
smooth function of the administrative process

-18shy
not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity

-18shy
not realistic ie financial audits by external firm auditors
as the Bank has not reauested each advance rather it bills RMSOWA
for reimbursement thus in effect the auditing requirements are made
at the time billings ere received
3 Reporting requirements contained in Implementation Letter No 2
in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends
that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by
contractors for studies and reporting requirements for technical assisshy
tance personnel (see Implementation Letter No 46)
1 Pre-Investment Studies These are slow to develop because the
Bank moves slowly administratively Although US funded TA personshy
nel are not tied to developing projects to be funded from the AID
grant to the Bank RDSOWA is encouraging the Bank to use US TA
personnel in support of project development
5 Training With AIDWs approml in principle to funding a trainshy
ing officer fr two-years once he is in place this activity should move
ahead more rapid-
6 Conclusions As noted on page of this report AID is one
of the two donors to require the Bank to contract for TA and to
ampadminister those contracts while the individuals must provide their
own support services
AIDW insistence that the Bank follow AID contracting procedures reshy
suits in a substantial slow dow because (1) procedures differ from those
of the Bank (2) tne nxnber of approvals the Bank must obtain from REDSOW
these two factors plus the informality of the Banks internal decisionshy
makin srcture (or absence thereof) results ir an under-utilization of
AI grant resources
The Bank n REDSWA would welcome a relaxing of our host-country
contractine in favor of AIDW contracting particularly for pre-investshy
ment studies The drafting officer supports this position
Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions
within F=SCWA office of Regional Financial Institutions Management
is needed to ensure a smooth flow of work between MMSOWA and the Bank
The Bank has made office space available to us that we are currently
using in a less than half-time basis The justification for this position
is the demand by REDSOWA for some RO-plus steps 15f review and approval
of all contract activity
