 1.  (C)  Summary.  The World Bank and IMF, working in 
tandem, finalized a deal on June 27 that would provide 
financing packages for the post-conflict transition (WB) and 
emergency budget support (IMF) in exchange for the GoCI 
paying 50 percent of its WB arrears and adoption of strict 
fiscal controls (Note. Cote d'Ivoire is not in substantial 
arrears to the IMF, but it, the WB and other multilateral 
financial institutions stand together when working with a 
member state in serious arrears with any one of them. End 
Note).  The IFIs have succeeded in winning acceptance of 
shared control over cocoa and coffee state revenues, and are 
exploring how to implement a similar arrangement for energy 
revenues.  The IFIs' Boards will be presented the package for 
a vote in mid-July.  Should this overall framework be adopted 
and well-implemented,  IFIs staff envision follow-on packages 
worth up to $300 million being put into place, which in turn 
would set the stage for an eventual HIPC negotiation (2009 at 
the earliest).  While the IFIs won gains in imposing tough 
controls in exchange for multilateral assistance and debt 
relief, the GoCI appears to be actively searching for ways to 
issue new debt, calling into question the central proposition 
that Cote d'Ivoire's own resources ought to be deployed to 
cover its portion of its own reconstruction.  Meanwhile, the 
IFIs and the rest of the international community are keenly 
interested in Cote d'Ivoire's reacquisition of AGOA benefits. 
 End Summary.

IFIs, GoCI Wrap Up Negotiations on Initial Post Crisis 
PackQes 
----------------- 
 
2.  (SBU)  On June 27, The World Bank, IMF and the GoCI 
concluded negotiation defining the parameters of a $120 
million Post Conflict Assistance Project (aka the pre-arrears 
clearance grant) as well as a similarly sized IMF Emergency 
Post Conflict Assistance (EPCA, effectively emergency budget 
support) program.  A senior WB resident official, Barnard 
Harbone, reported on June 28 that the WB package is more 
heavily oriented towards mid and longer term aspects of the 
transition (such as identification) than earlier versions of 
the package, given uncertainties over when the DDR process 
will begin.  The two packages will be put before the 
respective Boards in mid-July, starting with the World Bank 
Board on July 17.  The terms of the World Bank accord will be 
ratified at a IDA 15 scheduled for June 30 meeting in Maputo, 
prior to the final Board vote. 
 
3.  (C)  The conditions of the overall package are the same 
as described to Emboff during a June 23 meeting with a senior 
World Bank country official, Richard Doffonsou, in which the 
then-ongoing negotiations between the IFIs and the government 
of Cote d'Ivoire were the centerpiece.  In the wide-ranging 
conversation, Doffonsou described the joint WB and IMF 
efforts to impose strict fiscal controls on Cote d'Ivoire as 
a precondition for renewed IFIs engagement with Abidjan. 
Emboff referenced the recently published Global Witness 
report that received extensive publicity in both the Ivorian 
and European press (Note: the report was scathing and quite 
detailed in its description of how tens of millions of 
dollars have been allegedly siphoned off from parastatals and 
ostensibly independent cocoa and coffee control boards to 
fund arms purchases for the government, and to a lesser 
extent the rebel "Forces Nouvelles."  Most press accounts, 
however, referenced the report without going into its 
exhaustively detailed allegations.  End Note).  Doffonsou 
acknowledged in general terms the gravity of the Global 
Witness charges, and said that the report and other problems 
evident in the GoCI's management of the economy compel the 
IFIs to demand greater transparency over fiscal receipts, 
with regular reports presented both at regular GoCI Council 
of Ministers meetings (which would in turn publish them as 
part of the regular Council of Ministers statement) and to 
the IFIs themselves. 
 
 
ABIDJAN 00000689  002 OF 003 
 
 
4.  (C)  Regarding coffee and cocoa receipts, the IFIs 
succeeded in negotiating the imposition of an innovative 
control mechanism in which the Ministries of Agriculture and 
Finance will have dual controls; as the Ag Ministry is 
controlled by Alassane Ouattara's opposition RDR party and 
the Ministry of Finance is de facto controlled by the 
President's FPI.  The approach appears on its face to create 
some of the checks and balances a truly transparent system 
would need.  On energy (oil, gas and electricity generation), 
the IFIs are pressing ahead with three audits and pushing the 
GoCI to sign onto the Extractive Industries Transparency 
Initiative (reftel C), although to date this is not being 
presented as a prerequisite to conclude the WB accord and the 
EPCA (GoCI response to recent EITI letters sent by the UK's 
DFID will be reported septel).  Emboff asked Doffonsou if the 
dual control mechanism being put in place on the agriculture 
side could be adopted for energy; Doffonsou averred that this 
would be useful, but that because both the Energy and Mines 
Ministry as well as Finance are controlled by the FPI, this 
would present problems.  When the energy audits are done in 
mid to late July, the IFIs will try to impose a plan in which 
the "keys" to the energy receipts will be given to the Min of 
Finance and to the Ministry of Infrastructure, which is 
controlled by former President Bedie's PDCI.  Such a division 
of authority could balance the overall control over fiscal 
receipts nicely. 
 
5.  (C)  Doffonsou said that Bank staff, working in close 
collaboration with IMF staff, has won agreement for a 50 
percent repayment level of Cote d'Ivoire's $480 million in 
arrears to the World Bank, coupled with the strict fiscal 
controls referenced in para four (this 50 percent proposal 
will be confirmed at the Maputo IDA 15 meeting).  If GoCI 
performance on both the WB post-conflict package and the EPCA 
is good, the IFIs will begin negotiating a Poverty Reduction 
and Growth Facility (PGRF), building on the interim Poverty 
Reduction Strategy Paper submitted in March 2002, just prior 
to the outbreak of civil hostilities.  If all goes according 
to plan, in 2008 the WB would then reactivate existing 
projects worth $104 million and embark on a new $20-40 
million HIV/AIDS campaign, while the IMF would prepare a new 
Emergency Economic Recovery Credit (EERC) of $120-150 million 
to support structural reforms.  Finalizing a Highly Indebted 
Poor Country (HIPC) deal sometime in '09 would be the end 
point of the process, during which Cote d'Ivoire's heavy 
external debt service burden would be substantially 
lightened.

GOCI Engages JP Morgan in Scheme to Issue New Debt 
------------------ 
 
6.  (C)  Coincidentally, on June 21, Ambassador Hooks met 
with senior representatives from JP Morgan's operations based 
in Johannesburg.  JP Morgan was engaged in due diligence in 
reference to an "exclusive" offer proffered by the GoCI to 
restructure between $200 million and $300 million of Ivorian 
sovereign debt (currently non-performing) held by the state 
pension fund CNPS.  Under the outlines of the deal, the debt 
would be sold at a discount to Morgan, which would repackage 
and sell itto investors looking to purchase emerging marketdebt instruments.  According to Morgan, this operaion would 
free CNPS to purchase new debt to be isued by the GoCI. 
Ambassador Hooks urged Morgan t engage closely with the WB 
to avoid conflict wih a central objective of the 
international commuity, working through the IFIs: 
encouraging Cote 'Ivoire to mobilize its own resources to 
addressits portion of the post-crisis and reconstructionpackage. 
 
7.  (C)  During Emboff's June 23 convesion with Doffonsou, 
the WB official expressed sme IFIs' concerns about such a 
development.  Accrding to Morgan officials, the banking 
house wasgiven a very short window to perform its due 
diligence and conclude the deal (by sometime during theweek 
of June 25), lest they lose the "exclusive"rights.  Morgan 
asked Embassy Abidjan for help with some due diligence 
related to questions over the ability of CNPS to act 
independently (four of its 12 board members are either 
government ministers, the rest either union leaders or 
corporate executives), and expressed some reservations about 
 
ABIDJAN 00000689  003 OF 003 
 
 
how the CNPS would be able to handle the shortfall in its 
balance sheet were it to sell the securities at a discount as 
planned.  As of June 28, Morgan is still contemplating the 
project, but has asked the WB for a letter of "non-objection" 
if it goes forward. 
 
--------------------- 
GOCI, Int'l Community Thinking About AGOA 
--------------------- 
 
8.  (C)  Doffonsou asked Emboff how and when the USG would 
consider restoring AGOA benefits to Cote d'Ivoire.  Pointing 
to the economic and symbolic benefits, Doffonsou said the 
international community is "seized" with the question, and 
noted the GoCI has formed an interministerial committee 
("Back to AGOA") headed by a senior official within the 
Presidency and supported by a corporate steering council 
chaired by APEC-CI, the quasi-public trade promotion body 
responsible for steering the successful conclusion of the 
Cora de Comstar matter as well as the 2006 end of the 
ExxonMobil - Centaures Routiers question. 
 
 
9.  (C) Comment.  While the international community, working 
through the IFIs, can be rightly pleased with the toughness 
and innovation of the post-conflict and debt relief packages 
just concluded, the JP Morgan-CNPS deal raises questions 
about the goodwill of the GoCI to use its own resources to 
address the country's post-conflict needs.  The negotiation 
of the Morgan-CNPS debt deal is more transparent and better 
coordinated with the IFIs than seen initially, which offers 
some reassurances.  Whether or not the CNPS debt deal with 
Morgan (or even another banking house) ever comes to 
fruition, the episode underscores the likelihood that working 
with the GoCI on financing its enormous post-conflict needs 
will be a constant challenge.  End Comment.
