At the time of Board approval of the pipeline project, the President of the World Bank Group, announced that the Bank's management would appoint an International Advisory Group (IAG), in addition to the other supervision mechanisms for the project, to advise the Bank on implementation issues, including those that need to be addressed to achieve fully the project's broader development objectives. The draft Terms of Reference (TORs) for the IAG were posted on the project web site in August 2000 for several weeks and comments were invited from the public and the NGO community, as well as the Governments and the Bank Group's Executive Directors. These were taken into account in finalizing the TORs. The appointment of six people to the IAG, who are independent of any party associated with the project and are persons of eminence and respected for their expertise, was announced in February 2001. The IAG reports periodically to the World Bank Group President, the Board of Executive Directors, as well as the Governments of Chad and Cameroon on its findings and recommendations. All reports of the IAG, without modifications and/or amendments, are distributed simultaneously to the World Bank Group Board and other stakeholders on the same day they are submitted to the President of the World Bank Group.
