additional administrative support and equipment as necessary. The fiduciary unit would have close working relationships with the Financial Affairs Directorate (DAF) of MEN. Administrative and financial arrangements will be detailed in the project implementation manual, which will be prepared prior to effectiveness. In some cases, such as school construction, a separate implementation manual would also be prepared prior to effectiveness. All manuals will be submitted to IDA for review and approval. More detail on the implementation arrangements is presented in Annex 7.

The main financial management risks are expected to be substantial because of the country post crisis context where the deterioration of governance/transparency has impacted controls, budget execution, and disbursement of projects. In addition, neither the Task Force nor the DAF has managed a Bank project before. Although the project implementation unit is not yet established due to country circumstances, the government has started preparatory activities (terms of reference, technical specifications etc.) with the support of the PASEF and the availability of the retroactive financing option to launch the recruitment process as soon as the GPEF Board approves the project. However, the risks associated with not being able to carry out a FM assessment will be mitigated by enhancing the control environment through the: (i)

according to this instruction that aims to use the part of the Government’s financial management (FM) system. Risk Assessment and Mitigation Measures The proposed FM arrangements were designed to ensure that funds are used for the purposes intended, information is produced on a timely basis for project management and government oversight, and the project is in compliance with Bank fiduciary requirements. The main risks and mitigating measures of this project are listed in the ORAF table in Annex 4. In view of the general country financial management issues and the issues peculiar to the PIU and the mitigation measures provided, the overall financial management risk rating for this project is Substantial Strengths The financial management arrangements would be built on the experience gained from implementing other IDA operations in Côte d’Ivoire and strengthened by putting in place experienced staff familiar with donor financed project implementation.
