8. ANNUAL 

REPORT 

Purpose 

The EPF Annual Report describes the Fund's activities during the previous year.  Its primary 

purpose is to foster awareness of the Fund, its programs, and achievements in promoting 

improved environmental quality in Egypt.   

While the Annual Report fulfills an external communication function, it is not a substitute for 

nor does it absolve the Fund of its responsibility to prepare reports required of government 

entities. 

Preparation and Timing 

The Annual Review will be prepared by EPF staff and consultants under the direction of the 

Fund Manager.   

Generally, the Annual Report will be prepared and finalized within 3 months after the end of 

the 12 month period covered by the Annual Operating Plan. 

Content 

The Annual Report provides an overview of the Fund's goals and strategy.  It provides a 

summary of the Fund's financial activities including the types of disbursement mechanisms 

employed during the year, and the results of the Fund's review of applications to the CPP and 

tendered proposals.  In addition, the Report provides information on the number of accepted 

and rejected applications and tendered proposals, the types of projects funded and expected 

benefits, as well as a list of funded projects and banks cooperating with the EPF.   

The Annual Report may also describe special activities, as well as pilot and demonstration 

programs carried out by the Fund. Case studies illustrating  success  stories, short summaries 

of pilot and demonstration programs, and findings of the Fund's external reviews may be 

included as appropriate.   

The Annual Report is prepared in both Arabic and English to facilitate its external 

communications function. 

Distribution 

The Annual Report will be provided to selected government officials, donors, trade and 

industry organizations, participating banks, and others identified by the Fund Manager or 

FMC to receive the report.  Additional copies will be distributed to organizations and 

individuals in response to requests received by the Fund.   

The Fund will also establish a link to the EEAA Web Page so that a summary of the Annual 

Report may be received electronically.
