1. Ex-Post Review: All other remaining contracts will be subject to ex-post review.
Periodic ex-post review by Bank staff will be undertaken. Procurement
documents, such as bidding documents, bids, evaluation reports and all
correspondence related to bids, contracts will be kept readily available for Bank's
ex-post review.

2. Training: Budget allocated for training activities may include expenditures related
to covering logistics of the participants and/or expenditures related to cost of
services of training providers/consultants, and/or a mix of both. In case the costs
relate to logistical expenditures of participants (travel, per diem, conference fees,
etc), these will be recorded against the Statements of Expenditures (SOE). In case
training activities require hiring a consultant firm or a training provider, selection
will follow applicable methods as per Consultant's guidelines. Such individual
packages for consulting services related to training will be identified and
individually included in updates of the procurement plan with appropriate
selection method."
