Conditions refer to the fiduciary arrangements governing the upcoming project implementation. As of today, nothing special has to be reported. Discussions are ongoing and outputs are expected in a timely manner. In parallel, the Technical Unit (TU) of the Natural Resources Governance Project (NRGP) has already started working on the development of some terms of reference (ToRs), and more particularly on the ToRs of the Deputy Project Coordinator, with the view to accelerating the project operationalization. Contracts will be nevertheless signed once the project is effective. For both the forestry and mining components, the World Bank team is working with their Ministry counterparts to prepare the maximum amount of TORs for Year 1 of the Procurement Plan. The intention is to launch a series of procurement requests as soon as effectiveness is achieved. The safeguards instruments under preparation are about to be finalized very soon.
