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

-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

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

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

-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

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

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

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

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

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

(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

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

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

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

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

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

in the detail requested are too demanding REDSOWA recommends

that reporting be restricted to copies of final reports prepared by

Alternatively are additional capital development officer positions

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

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

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

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

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
