The report by the Independent Inspection Panel into the China Western Poverty Reduction Project, and World Bank management's response to it, will be discussed at a World Bank Board meeting in early July 2000. We will be looking very carefully at the conclusions of the Inspection Panel Report, and management's response to it, in preparing our position for that board meeting.
