For example, the 'goods' category which was initially included to cover the purchase of IT (Information Technology) equipment has been changed to 'non consulting services' in order to lease and maintain the equipment. The implementing agency is in full compliance with the Bank's financial management requirements, and there are no overdue audit reports and interim financial reports.
