Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding 
(MOU) between the Government of the United 
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, 
acting through the Department for International 
Development, and the International Bank for 
Reconstruction and Development and the 
International Development Association concerning 
the Multi-Donor Trust Fund for the South Asia

Dear Ms. Warmington: 
 
We refer to the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the 
Government of the 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 (“IBRD”) and the International 
Development Association (“IDA”) (collectively, the “Bank”), regarding the Multi-Donor 
Trust Fund for the South Asia Water Initiative (the “Trust Fund”) dated November 26, 
2008, as amended. 
 
We also refer to the discussion held between DFID representatives and our staff 
regarding including a small grants program to support knowledge generation and 
dissemination activities on the Rivers of the Greater Himalayas among the activities to be 
financed under the Trust Fund.  Accordingly, we would like to propose to amend the 
Memorandum of Understanding as set forth below: 
1. 
Paragraph A under “Categories of Expenditures” in Annex 1 to the MOU is 
amended to read as follows: 
“A.  For Recipient-executed components, the Contributions to the Trust Fund 
will be used to fund one hundred percent (100% - i.e. including taxes) of the 
following categories of expenditures:

For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Administrative Fee” means the 
lump sum fee charged by the administrator of the small grants program for 
administrative and operational costs incurred for implementation of the small 
grants program, including financial reporting costs, audit costs and office space 
but excluding salaries or salary supplements of the administrator’s staff.” 
 
All the terms and conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding that have not 
been amended hereby will remain unchanged and in full force and effect. 
Upon receipt by the Bank of the copy of this Amendment to the Memoranda of 
Understanding duly countersigned by all donors contributing to the Trust Fund, this 
Amendment will become effective as of the last date of countersignature by those donors. 
 
Sincerely,
