IV. Country Performance and Assistance Level

A. Proposed Lending Level

23. The CSP proposed an annual lending level of about $30 million for the period of 2005-2006, which appear to be unlikely based on the assumptions adopted for planning directions. Allocation of ADF funds will depend on the revised policy for performance-based allocation (PBA) of ADF resources (the revised PBA policy), which is expected to be finalized later in 2004. For planning purposes, the annual lending level for the period of 2005-2006 has been set at $23 million, but this will be subject to change based on the revised PBA policy. Based on this scenario, a revised lending program for 2005-2006 is provided in Appendix 1, Table A1.9.

B. Nonlending Program

24. An annual TA program of $1.9 million is proposed for 2005-2006, which will be further strengthened with proactive exploration of cofinancing and noncore TA projects. The updated nonlending program as discussed in the previous paragraphs is provided in Appendix 1, Table A1.10.

C. Summary of Changes to Lending and Nonlending Program

25. The indicative annual lending level has been reduced from $35 million proposed in the CSP to $23 million (para. 23), based on the current projection of ADF funding available. This requires an adjustment and rescheduling of the lending program for 2005 and 2006 as summarized in the table below:
