It provides the findings of an INT administrative inquiry (the Investigation) into allegations of corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, and/or coercive practices, as defined by the WBG for purposes of its own policies, rules and procedures (the WBG’s Framework regarding Anti-corruption), in relation to the WBG-supported activities. The purpose of the Investigation was to allow the WBG to determine if the WBG’s Framework regarding Anti-corruption has been violated.  \nThis Report is being shared to ensure that its recipients are aware of the results of the INT Investigation. However, in view of the specific and limited purpose of the Investigation underlying this Report, this Report should not be used as the sole basis for initiating any administrative, criminal, or civil proceedings. Moreover, this Report should not be cited or otherwise referred to in the course of any investigation, in any investigation reports, orin any administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings.  \nThis Report is provided without prejudice to the privileges and immunities conferred on the institutions comprising the WBG and their officers and employees by their respective constituent documents and any other applicable sources of law. The WBG reserves the right to invoke its privileges and immunities, including at any time during the course of an investigation or a subsequent judicial, administrative or other proceeding pursued in connection with this matter. The WBG’s privileges and immunities cannot be waived without the prior express written authorization ofthe WBG.  \nBackground  \nThe Second Public Employment for Sustainable Agriculture and Water Resources Management Project (the “Project”) in Tajikistan aims to improve food availability and food access for low-income people in poor rural areas.  \nThe Project Management Unit (the “PMU”) issued a Letter of Invitation for the selection of a PMU staff member under a World Bank-financed contract. In response to this, several consultants submitted their Curricula Vitae (“CVs”) . The Evaluation Committee recommended that the contract be awarded to Individual A, based on the responsiveness of Individual A’s CV to the “technical and other related aspects specified in the [Terms of Reference] .”  \nSubsequently, in response to the PMU’s request, Individual A submitted a copy of an attestation purportedly signed by the director (the “Director”) of another project implementation unit (the “PIU”) . The document stated that Individual A had been employed by the PIU for over four years.  \nAfter the PMU and Individual A signed the contract for the PMU staff member position, Individual A re-submitted to the PMU another copy of the same attestation, bearing the same signature.  \nAllegations and Methodology  \nThe World Bank noted that the signature on the attestations submitted by Individual A were potentially falsified and referred the matter to the World Bank Group Integrity Vice Presidency (“INT”) . INT’s investigation consisted of, among other things, a review of Project documents and obtaining a statement from the Director.  \nFindings  \nEvidence indicates that Individual A submitted a fraudulent past employment attestation to the PMU.  \nThe World Bank noted that the Director’s signature on Individual A’s attestation did not match the Director’s signature in an audit report for a different project managed by the same Director. To verify the authenticity of the signature on the attestation submitted by Individual A, the World Bank sent the Director a copy of the attestation. The Director replied that the signature on the attestation was “invalid.”  \nINT gave Individual A detailed notice of IN","cbCaipdQpDnnmTuj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipdQpDnnmTuj","pdf",333426,3,1,4,"English","en",105,"# Background\n## Project objectives and staffing selection\n# Allegations and Methodology\n## Referral to INT and evidence review\n# Findings\n## Fraudulent past employment attestation\n# Corrective Actions\n## Debarment with conditional release","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the INT Investigation in this report?\",\"answer\":\"The investigation aimed to determine whether the World Bank Group’s anti-corruption framework was violated in relation to World Bank-supported activities.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the staffing selection and attestation documents unfold?\",\"answer\":\"A PMU invitation led consultants to submit CVs, and a contract was recommended for Individual A.
