**Proposal Summary**:
The primary goal of the Afghanistan Resilience Trust Fund (ARTF) Third Party Monitoring (TPM) Project is to provide the World Bank and stakeholders with integrated oversight of project implementation performance and compliance with fiduciary standards and requirements, and with the environmental and social safeguard policies and/ or framework as applicable; including the establishment and implementation of monitoring protocols for measuring implementation progress through site visits, validation of project MIS data, and assessments of physical progress, construction quality, deviations and usage of infrastructure. The project will field local Afghan enumerators and engineers to conduct site visit and monitor the completion of World Bank funded projects across the country as well as fielding auditors to review financial compliance. The project will also conduct the fieldwork necessary for the Afghanistan Economic Monitor (AEM), a monthly report on selected macro and micro indicators of the Afghan economy.
