The World Bank issues a Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report every year as an internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank's revised disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public.

The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes.

To read the SOPE Report online, you will need Acrobat Reader 8.1.2,

Questions on the SOPE Report may be sent to: accesstoinfo@worldbank.org
