Review meetings such as this are held periodically to assess the level of work done on the project site and to ensure that the scope of work under the contract is followed strictly as a basis for the release of funds.

Release of funds under NEWMAP is done following strict regulations set by the World Bank.

Unknown to many people, while the funds for the projects under NEWMAP have been set aside in a designated account, such funds remain under the control of the World Bank and drawing from the account is done at intervals mostly to cover designated milestones in the contract.
