      Amendment to the Administration Arrangement between the Government of the United
         Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the International Bank for
   Reconstruction and Development and the InternationalDevelopment Association for support
    to the Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa
                                           (ASARECA)
                                         (TF No. 071104)

   Dear Madam:

   1.      We refer to the Administration Arrangement between the between United Kingdom of
   Great Britain and Northern Ireland, acting through the Department for International Development
   ("DFID") (the "Donor") and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the
   International Development Association (collectively, the "Bank"), regarding the Multi-Donor
   Trust Fund for support to the Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and
   Central Africa (the "Trust Fund") (TFO71104) effective as of August 11, 2008 (the
   "Administration Arrangement"), as amended.

   2.     Following discussions between the Bank and the Donor regarding the need to widen the
   scope of the Project under the Trust Fund, the Bank proposes to add a new sub-paragraph (d)
   to paragraph 2 of Annex I to the Administration Arrangement, and to renumber the existing
   sub-paragraph (d) as (e):

           "(d)    Support to ASARECA's Knowledge and Information Hub

           Establishing a knowledge and information hub with a view to increase competitiveness of
           the agricultural sector in Eastern and Central Africa, including (i) serving as a regional
           focal point for the generation and exchange of knowledge, networking and development
           of new ideas; (ii) promoting technologies, innovation and management practices; (iii)
           collecting, analyzing and producing data and information to support discourse and
           advocacy for agriculture and related trade policy issues; and (iv) building platforms to
           generate and disseminate knowledge and information acquired, and facilitate learning."
3.    Additionally, the Bank proposes to amend paragraph 8.1 of Annex III to the
Administration Arrangement to extend the closing date to June 30, 2019 to read as follows:

           Paragraph 8.1:

          "It is expected that the Contribution funds will be fully disbursed by the Bank in
          accordance with the provisions of this Arrangement by June 30, 2019. The Bank will
          only disburse Contribution funds for the purposes of this Arrangement after such date
          with written approval of the Donors."

4.        All other terms of the Administration Arrangement shall remain the same.

5.      The Bank will disclose this Arrangement and related information on this Trust Fund in
accordance with the World Bank Policy on Access to Information. By entering into this
Arrangement, the Donor consents to disclosure of this Arrangement and related information on
this Trust Fund.

6.      Please confirm your understanding to the foregoing, on behalf of the Donor, by signing,
dating, and returning to us one of the enclosed originals of this Amendment. Upon receipt by the
Bank of the original of this Amendment countersigned by you, this Amendment will become
effective as of the countersignature.
