National Project Implementation Plan - NVBDCP

use, fraud, corruption may still remain. To mitigate this risk, World Bank and
GoI have agreed on an intensified effort of field level input and output
monitoring for a sample of project districts on a semi-annual basis, coupled
with a review of project implementation after 18-21 months and possible
redesign of the local activities. These arrangements apply largely to component
3 of the project where such expenditures account for a little more than 50% of
the proposed project costs. States will sign MOU’s with the NVBDCP to receive
project support. These indicate that states accept the project terms and
conditions including those of this GAAP.
NVBDCP may pose some additional specific risks in relation to procurement of
pharmaceuticals and goods, such as insecticides and LLINs. Additional
measures in the context of the agreed Joint Action Plans will be put in place to
address these specific risks. Some additional mitigation measures are also
agreed in relation to strengthening M&E (Chapter 9).
Table 2 below places these new actions for GAAP.
