მაიკო,

ეს ორი პროცესი, რასაც ანნა ქვემოთ აღწერს, მიმდინარეობს პარალელურად. საჭიროების შემთხვევაში, შეგიძლიათ დაუკავშირდეთ პირდაპირ ანნას. გთხოვთ, ეს ორი ადამიანი სასწრაფოდ გამოყოთ რომ მალევე მოხდეს რეგისტრაცია (7-10 დღე სჭირდება)

Subject: RE: Withdrawal application

Dear Tamuna,

We spoke. As discussed, I will initiate the MOH registration by invitation, after which they will receive the link to fill out the organization account request. Following information will be needed to fill out the form:

Organization details (name, country, telephone, postal address)

Loan number

Details of two liaisons (full name, email, telephone, postal address);

Authorized representative (name, position, organization)

Once the MOH submits the registration, I will receive to review, amend (if needed) and approve. However, please note, that in case they have difficulties to fill out the form, I can also do it on MOH’s behalf. In the meantime, MOF should
prepare and submit Authorized Signatories Letter (ASL).

Please let me know, should you need my help.

Best, Anna

Importance: High

Dear Tamar, Djamshid, thanks for copying me.

Could you please let me know what project are we talking about. I have health-related projects across the entire region and unfortunately cannot keep track.

Effectiveness and disbursement. No disbursement can happen prior to effectiveness. Parliamentary ratification is a prerequisite for declaring the loan effective. But the effectiveness will
happen when the Bank issues the official Declaration of Effectiveness Letter. As Djamshid said, the borrower (or PIU) may start paying for eligible expenditures from t heir own funds and will be reimbursed after the effectiveness.

Authorized Signatories Letter (ASL). There is a template attached to DFIL. The MOF needs to fill it out and submit to the Bank

Client Connection – I checked the system and MOH is not a registered entity/organization. They will need to register.

Guys, let’s have Anna copied to this exchange. She will help me with coordinating borrower actions vis-à-vis ASL and Client Connection registration.

Thank you very much for your understanding,

With best regards,

Dear Djamshid and Damir,

Thank you very much for the detailed clarification.

The loan was rectified by the parliament on May 22, 2020. I will double check if there are other disbursement conditions. Otherwise, I will ask counterpart at the ministry to designate a responsible person for the time being, before financial
specialist joins the PIU. On your consent, I would like to share your contact number to the Ministry (if you do not mind, of course).

Thanks a lot for your kind wishes for Independence Day.

Best,

Tamara

Dear Tamar and Nino,

First of all, Happy Independence Day!

In respect of your request, application for direct payment is filled and submitted through the portal ClientConnection. However, in order to be able to access and start submitting applications for payments: 1) The Project should become
effective (in our case Project is not effective yet) and 2) Client should submit to the Bank Authorized Signatory Letter (the letter) and Signatories should be registered in the system (this is not done yet). I advise to the Client liaise with the Ministry
of Finance and to agree on signatories and submit the Letter to us and set-up access to ClientConnection as soon as possible. In this case once Project is effective they can immediately start submitting applications for direct payments and/or request advance
to designated account. Also if they have available funds at the moment they can use them, apply for retroactive financing once Project is effective.

I am copying Damir in the case if I missed anything and Damir pls advise if in the case of urgency there is way for direct payments provided?

Best regards

Subject: Withdrawal application sample letter

Dear Djamshid,

The client – the ministry of health – would like to submit withdrawal application requesting the World Bank to pay directly to a third party. Since PIU is under formation, we are providing Hands-On Extended Implementation Support. Could
you please share draft letter format to submit such request?

Thank you very much for your support.

Best,

Tamara
