In discussing the ISN and the two grants, the World Bank Board of Directors noted the impact of the existing portfolio in improving service delivery and ongoing engagement with the authorities in support for broader economic and governance reforms. The ISN, the Board noted, will enable the Bank to build its knowledge base and continue to work with the Eritrean authorities to find avenues for analytical and advisory activities. It will also create avenues for IFC and MIGA to improve the business climate and to support prospects in the mining sector.
