Porsi sharing Loan dan GOI adalah 70:30 untuk Civil Works, dimana Pemerintah Indonesia menyediakan Dana USD 100 juta, sehingga total nilai proyek adalah USD 350 juta. Pinjaman tersebut akan digunakan untuk mendukung penguatan berkelanjutan Sistem Jaringan Jalan Nasional di wilayah Indonesia Barat,yaitu untuk pekerjaan jalan dan jembatan.

Tujuan utama proyek WINRIP adalah untuk meningkatkan status jaringan yang sebelumnya berfungsi sebagai jalan provinsi atau jalan non status agar sesuai dengan standar yang baru yaitu jalan nasional; memastikan bahwa jaringan jalan nasional tersebut menjadi lebih lancar dan berkeamanan; dan mampu mendukung peningkatan ekonomi daerah. Sesuai dengan Schedule 2 Section IC Naskah Perjanjian Pinjaman WINRIP,dan Bab 11 Project Management Manual (PMM) WINRIP, Pemerintah Indonesia dan Bank Dunia menyepakati pelaksanaan Anti-Corruption Action Plan (ACAP)atau Rencana Tindak Anti Korupsi (RTAK) dalam pelaksanaan proyek.

2. Mengatasi semua resiko dalam bentuk rencana tindak yang dikendalikan oleh Ditjen. Bina Marga.

3. Mencapai pelaksanaan RTAK WINRIP yang sejalan dengan Pedoman Bank Dunia tentang Pencegahan dan Upaya Memerangi Penipuan dan Tindak Korupsi pada program-program yang didanai oleh Bank Dunia.

Pelaksanaan komponen RTAK WINRIP pada dasarnya adalah dalam rangka peningkatan transparansi dalam proses pelaksanaan proyek dengan menarik pelajaran dan pengalaman dari pelaksanaan RTAK pada proyek-proyek sebelumnya agar lebih

kuat dan efektif, dengan melakukan langkah-langkah pencegahan dan meningkatkannya pada pelaksanaan rencana tindak-nya. Berdasarkan pelajaran dan pengalaman pada proyek sebelumnya, maka RTAK yang akan dilakukan meliputi lima area sebagaimana diformulasikan dalam Matrik Pemetaan Resiko Korupsi dan Rencana Tindak yaitu:

a. Meningkatkan Penyebarluasan Informasi dan Transparansi

b. Meningkatkan Pemantauan yang dilakukan oleh Masyarakat Madani c. Meningkatkan Mekanisme Penanganan Pengaduan

d. Pencegahan Kolusi serta Pemalsuan dan Resiko Penipuan, dan e. Penerapan Sanksi dan Tindakan Hukum

Sedangkan ruang linkup pelaksanaan RTAK atau ACAP meliputi komponen-komponen berikut: 1. Pelibatan Wakil Pengamat dari Masyarakat (WPM) / Community Representative

Observers (CROs) dalam pemantauan atau pengamatan terhadap proses pelelangan / pengadaan jasa konstruksi.

2. Keterbukaan informasi kepada public /Public Disclosure.

3. Penanganan dan pengelolaan Pengaduan dari Masyarakat / Complaint Handling Mechanism System (CHS).
