World Bank loan to help rural population

    ABIDJAN

    A US $19-million credit to help Guinea's government to improve the ability and accountability of public agencies to respond effectively to the needs of the rural population has been approved by the World Bank, according to a news release last Wednesday.

    The Capacity Building for Service Delivery Programme, a 12-year plan, will focus its first phase on several areas including the decentralisation of public expenditure management, the improvement of communication with communities and the introduction of a performance incentive system targeting rural development councils and community agencies.

    The second and third phases of the project will expand the process to include more sectors and areas, strengthen decentralisation and cover the whole country, the World Bank said.
