ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This manual has benefited from the guidance of Mr. Sunil Bhattacharya, Regional Procurement Advisor, Europe and Central Asia Region, and Mr. Jacob Kampen of the Africa Region. Both reviewed the document and provided valuable suggestions for improvements. The manual also benefited from the contents of the following manuals relating to small procurement arrangements:

Community-based Contracting: A Review of Stakeholder Experience, January 2001, by Samantha de Silva.

Sample Procurement and Financial Procedures Manual for Use by Community-Based Organizations, June 2001, prepared by the World Bank Office, Ghana.

Guidelines for Simplified Procurement and Disbursement for Community-Based Organizations, March 1998, prepared by the Africa Region of the World Bank

The manual was discussed in a brown-bag lunch held on August 8, and attended by the ECA procurement and rural development staff. The comments received during the brown-bag lunch discussions have been incorporated in the manual.
