| description |
The study is based on a new specialized
dataset generated for the road sector contracts of
Bank-financed projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is
organized as follows: Chapter two describes the data and a
set of indicators constructed to perform comparative
assessments of the procurement and implementation processes
across 13 African countries. Chapter three points out the
trends in selected key indicators and performs an inventory
of risks for each road works contract using a checklist of
possible entry points of corrupt activities or red flags.
Through comparison of the road works contracts that had
complaints received by the Bank's Department of
Institutional Integrity (INT) and other contracts in the
sample, it examines if the data exhibit a pattern of
indicators consistent with the presence of allegations of
corruption or fraud. Chapter four looks at selected issues
such as high bid rates, low response to invitation to bid,
and cost and time overruns as they were addressed by the
project implementing agencies. Finally, chapter five
provides selected recommendations to enhance accountability
and control of corruption in the road projects financed by
the World Bank. |
