Institutional Strengthening of Gram Panchayats (ISGP) Programme-|| ae, Panchayats & Rural Development Department Government of West Bengal ‘Component 4: Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLD) Introduction Unite 1S6PP4, ISGPP-I wil be PIR under which disbursement from the World Bank Bank wil be based on achievements of results. There will be Disoursement Linked indictors (DL) which wil be assessed before disbursement. The results/achievements ofthe Program would be measured through a setof clearly define Disbursement Linked inaieators (OL. There are seven DLs (OI) forthe disbursement. Structure of DLI section: ‘There is a detailee description of DLs, the process of DL wedfeaion that is recommended forthe third party verification ageney to follow, the infrmation that wil be verified including the database of GPs the questionnaires used etc. and the means of verification that will be used by the thi party verification agency and the disbursement structure.

This section has been hence givided in two ‘segments vi. OU verfation mechanism and DL vericaton timeline. During preparatory phase of the Pfr® operation he third party verfication agency would work withthe ISGPP PMU to develop and agree upon the DLI Verification Protocol that would substantiate the achievement of Due Verfiation Protocol should include, ata minimum, th flowing: > clear definition ofthe OL ang how twill be meseured> objective, detaled definition of what i requlred to consier the Ol as achieves > efintion ofthe datasources that wil be used to measure the DLs achievement, including reporting frequency DLIs Verification Mechanism ‘The DL Verification Pretocol should be an integral pat of the menitoring ané reporting arrangements forthe PorR operation, and third party agency ‘would agree upon the process through which the achievement ofeach ofthe Oli wll be verified. The DL! verfcation protocol has been annexed in [Annexure 7 of Volume of POM. The third party agency would work with the 'SGPP PMU to review the Program's experience with internal and external verification and reporting, and agree upon appropriate arrangements that will ensure craibe veifcaton of achievement of DU, The TOR for Hiring DL agency has been attached as Annexure 14 in Volume of POM. Verification arrangements are DU speci, asthe verification methodology should take into account the nature ofthe ndeator, typeof data that can be used to very the specie achievements, and the Insttutional arrangements needed to provide the needed verification, The DL verification protocol also inches the scalability of disbursements which is formula based Mustrating the disbursement of francing proceeds ae proportional othe progress towards achieving the OL. Scalabiliy(isbursements against partly achieved DU) {acitates predictably of fund flow. Below table describes the DataSource and Verifcation mechanism foreach OU followed by dedicated DL!
