The May 2004 revised October 2006 Guidelines have been revised to reflect the recent agreement amongst Multilateral Development Banks to cross-debar firms and individuals found to have violated the fraud and corruption provisions of their respective procurement and consultant guidelines. These revisions affect respectively paragraphs 1.8 and 1.14 and are embedded in the corrigendum (French & Spanish) dated May 2010.

Please note that the above-captioned revisions should not be confused with the proposal for a broader revision of the guidelines for which a consultation process is on-going. The latter revisions will be submitted to the Board of EDs for approval next FY.
