Outstanding issues with TCO contractor CRDF Global with regards to changing organizational structure, staffing and financial management procedures have been resolved. Consultants for analysis of legislation governing IP and technology commercialization have been selected and the Ministry is now in process of signing contracts, the Bank team urges the Ministry to expedite the process of procuring relevant services without any delay allowing sufficient time to deliver the work and for the Ministry to pay by the contract in full before December 15, 2015. Next visit of International Science and Commercialization Boars, tentatively planned for the week of Dec 3, 2015 should conduct final assessment of results achieved by the first two rounds of grant recipients in addition to monitoring and evaluation of progress of groups of second and third round. MOES and WB will agree on the potential date of joint TCP FPIP workshop during the next WB mission in November 2015. Ministry needs to prepare a project completion summary reviewing achieved results and comparing them to project goals and indicators.
