Introduction

The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY08 provides information on all IBRD/IDA
projects that were active as of June 30, 2008. For the first time, the SOPE report will include recipient-
executed projects (over US$ 5 million). The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an
internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank's revised
disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public.

The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project
Appraisal Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the
Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes.

In addition to the project progress description, the FY08 SOPE report1 contains project level comparisons
of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and
disbursements to date.

  Notes:
· Amounts and graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to
  exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project.
· Graphs of original estimates for some recipient-executed projects might not exist since they are not required in the
  project document.
· Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Operations, which provide quick-disbursing
  financing to support policy and institutional reforms. For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more
  stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions.
· Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus will not include a
  graph.
