In addition to the project progress description, the FY09 SOPE report1 contains project level comparisons of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and disbursements to date. 1 Notes: Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project.

For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions.
