WINRIP supported by CTC will develop his own website: http:www.winrip-ibrd.com, and with it all the information and data about WINRIP be inputted or uploaded on this
site.
In the application of one of the components of ACAP, the public disclosure and transparency, it is necessary to spread information and increase the capacity of all
stakeholders involved in the implementation of this WINRIP project, through a variety of relevant training. The trainings have been expressed in the ToR of CTC WINRIP
and described in the Project Implementation Plan PIP.
One of the major risks to effective project implementation and management derives from the likelihood that project management staff does not have adequate training in
or experience of the management of large-scale projects.
Procedures to mitigate these risks include the need to conduct comprehensive training of staff in all participating entities involved with the procurement, financial
management and supervision of the project.
In response to this need, an Annual Training Program has been prepared, which identifies the major training requirements to be addressed. This program builds on
previous training programs prepared and implemented by DGH to strengthen management staff and support the implementation of loan programs like WINRIP.
