After loans or credits are signed, entries are dropped from the MOS. By becoming familiar with the Bank's "project cycle," summarized in the following paragraphs, consultants or suppliers of goods and works can gauge when the timing is right for them to pursue business opportunities with Bank borrowers. Each entry in the MOS tells at what point in the project cycle a particular project resides. During IDENTIFICATION, both governments and the Bank are involved in analyzing development strategies for the borrower's economy as a whole and in identifying projects that support those strategies. When the project identification is completed, the Project Information Document will be available through the Public Information Center -see below for more information. PREPARATION, the second stage of the cycle, is the responsibility of the borrower. During preparation, the technical and institutional alternatives for achieving a project's objectives are identified and discussed. Preparation usually requires feasibility studies followed by more detailed studies of the alternatives that promise to yield the most satisfactory results. The environmental assessment is usually carried out during this phase-see below for more information on environmental assessment. In this stage of the project cycle, borrowers often supplement their own efforts by hiring consultants to carry out a major part of the work. Project APPRAISAL, the responsibility of the Bank, provides a comprehensive review of all aspects of the project (technical, institutional, economic, and financial) and lays the foundation for implementing the project and evaluating it when completed. Conducted by Bank staff, project appraisal may be supplemented by individual experts. A Staff Appraisal Report is published following this stage. During NEGOTIATIONS, discussions are held between the Bank and the borrower and agreements reached are contained in the draft loan documents. Upon completion of negotiations, the project is then presented to the Executive Directors of the Bank for their consideration. After approval, the loan agreement is signed. IMPLEMENTATION of a project usually starts after the loan is declared effective, which can normally be expected to take a few months after loan signing. Contractors and suppliers, therefore, should contact borrowers expressing their interest in specific projects. They should obtain information on what goods and services will be needed, and when and how to submit bids and proposals. During implementation, consultants are often used to provide technical assistance and other project implementation support. As contracts for consulting services are not usually advertised, consultants, in particular, should contact the responsible implementing agency early in the project preparation period to express their interest. Within each region, projects are classified by the following sector designations: Agriculture Education/Training Private Sector Development Environment Public Sector Management Finance Social sector Industry Structural Adjustment Infrastructure Transport Population, Health, and Nutrition Urban Development Power Telecommunications Water Supply/Sanitation A typical entry in the MOS looks like this: Kenya o Country Water Supply/Sanitation < ~~~~~~~~~~~Sector Mombasa Water and Sanitation: The project seeks to (a) develop ground water sources; (b) improve the transmission Title line between Baricho Well Field and Mombasa; and * Project and (c) provideemergency measures to Description improve distribution systems and reduce unaccounted for water.

Under type, timing and main issues this environmental assessment process, of environmental analysis to be performed the time that a given lending operation by the borrower are to be confirmed is initiated into the Bank's prospective at the and updated on a quarterly basis lending program and thereafter reported in the Monthly Operational Summary. In October 1991 the Bank revised its policies and procedures categories based so that projects are now assigned upon the nature, magnitude, and one of the following sensitivity of environmental issues: Category A - Environmental Assessment is normally required adverse as the project may have and significant environmental impacts. Category B - More limited environmental analysis is appropriate, as the project may specific environmental impacts. have Category C - Environmental analysis is normally unnecessary. "U" (unclassified) is being introduced to indicate structural and sectoral one of the above three adjustment loans, which do categories for purposes of the directive not fall within governing environmental assessment. The 1991 revision also introduced the use of a standard environmental main issues and schedule data sheet for all projects to identify for any required environmental analysis. the Project descriptions in every issue of the Monthly or Operational Summary include C, except in the case of structural the environmental category A, and sectoral adjustment loans which B, (in the January, April, July and are designated "U". On a quarterly October issues) the Monthly Operational basis annex which includes the environmental Summary contains an environmental data sheets for Category A projects, projects, and a listing of projects data sheet headers for Category in Categories C and T ("to be determined").
