The GDF follows the spirit and intent of the World Bank Group and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Please remember that all applicants must complete an integrity questionnaire documenting certain aspects of their businesses and beneficial owners at the time of both the EOI and the CFP. The purpose of KYC is to better understand the structure of the applicant, the beneficial owners, and other material information that may impact the applicant’s submission. The form and questions are identical for both the EOI and the CFP and can be found in the Developers’ Manual and can be found in the Developers’ Manual v25.0 which can be downloaded here.
