Making a decision on project financing

If your proposal is approved by the Technical Assistance Department, you will be prompted to submit to the Managing Committee of the Fund a full project proposal along with a package of all necessary documents.
The Managing Committee will consider the proposed project in detail and draft its opinion; if the opinion is positive, the bid will be forwarded to the Management Board of the Bank for consideration and approval.
A final decision on the project and the terms and procedure of financing by the Fund will be made by the Management Board.
