This briefing outlines the Terms of Reference, composition, and scope of the International Advisory Group (IAG) established to monitor the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project. The IAG is an independent body designed to advise the World Bank Group (WBG) and the governments of Chad and Cameroon on the project's progress toward social, environmental, and poverty alleviation goals.

• The Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project involves developing oil fields at Doba in southern Chad at a cost of $1.5 billion and constructing a 1,070 km pipeline to offshore loading facilities on Cameroon's Atlantic coast costing $2.2 billion.
• The project is sponsored by a consortium of three private companies: ExxonMobil (the operator with 40% private equity), Petronas (35%), and Chevron (25%).
• The World Bank Group (WBG) approved the project on June 6, 2000, providing $93 million on IBRD terms to finance government equity shares ($53.4 million for Cameroon and $39.5 million for Chad) and a $100 million IFC loan to joint-venture pipeline companies.
• The International Advisory Group (IAG) is an independent body of six impartial individuals tasked with identifying problems such as the misuse of public revenues, inadequate civil society participation, and governance issues, and recommending corrective actions to the WBG and the governments of Chad and Cameroon.
• The IAG's mandate is expected to last up to ten years, covering the oilfield development, pipeline construction, and the first six years of oil flow and revenue inflow.
• To maintain independence, IAG members cannot be nationals of Chad or Cameroon, current or former WBG staff, or currently engaged in consultancies with the project sponsors or the governments of Chad and Cameroon.
• The project is estimated to generate nearly $2 billion in revenues for Chad (averaging $80 million per year) and $500 million for Cameroon (averaging $20 million per year) over a 25-year production period, depending on world oil prices.
