Re:

Development Credit Agreement (Article I, Section 1.01 (a)
)
List of Participating Countries
Excellency:
We refer to the Development Credit Agreement (the Agreement) of
even date herewith between the Republic of Chad (the Borrower) and the
International Development Association (the Association) and, more
particularly, to the definition of “Participating Countries� to be
found in Section 1.01 (a) thereof.
We have to inform you that, for purposes of the Agreement, the
following countries are not “Participating Countries� and, therefore,
not eligible to supply goods and services under the Credit:
The
Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Brunei Darussalam, Cyprus, Oman, Qatar,
Singapore and United Arab Emirates.

This list of ineligible countries
is in addition to the list of ineligible countries under paragraphs
1.6 and 1.8 of the “Guidelines for Procurement under IBRD Loans and
IDA Credits� published by the Bank in January 1995 and revised in
January and August 1996, September 1997 and January 1999 (the
Guidelines).
In accordance with the operational policies of the Association,
the term “ineligible countries� applies both to the nationality of
bidders, and to the source of goods and services provided.
Please confirm your agreement to the foregoing by signing the
enclosed copy of this letter and returning it to us for our records.
Sincerely yours,
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION
