There are only four (4) grant projects (WB funded) under Category 1 amounting to US$ 66.19 million. Most of the grant projects are classified as Category 2 where there are 10 projects, amounting to US$48.70 million, followed by Category 3 consisting of 18 projects with a cost of US$70.71 million. Category 2 projects are mostly UNDP administered projects, while Category 3 projects are those administered by GIZ, USAID, NZAI: UNIDO and KOICA
