available to all infoDev clients and donors , World Bank Group 
borrowers, as well as the widest possible audience in electronic 
format.

individual, organization or firm which provides the best proposal for 
the execution of the work program described in this Call for 
Proposals.  

The proposal will form the basis of negotiations with the first-

Agreement with the selected proponent.
