I. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The WEST AFRICAN MONETARY INSTITUTE (WAM), Accra, Ghana, was established in 2001 by the Government of the WAMZ countries, to undertake policy and technical preparations for the launch of a monetary union for the WAMZ as well as the establishment of the West African Development Central Bank (WACB). WAMZ has received a grant of UA 1.5 million from the African Development Bank (AfDB) under Pillar III of the Transition Support Facility (TSF) for the development of domestic debt markets in the four WAMZ Member States (The Gambia, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone). The project aims to: (i) deepen primary markets for issuance of debt instruments, (ii) develop secondary markets for short- and longer-tenor instruments; (iii) improve the debt market operating system; and (iv) broaden the investor base. WAMI intends to apply part of the agreed amount of the grant procured from AfDB to cover eligible payments under the contract for consultancy services for an External Auditor.
