Translate World Bank Statistical Standards into Vendor Compliance Checklist

Executive summary
Current state
World Bank IDA-funded statistical modernization project in The Gambia has $139,000 specifically allocated for MIS development that was canceled, creating immediate vendor opportunity constrained by World Bank procurement bureaucracy that prevents GBoS from directly accessing or reallocating the funds.
Market catalyst
World Bank mandates 'International Data Quality Standards' but provides no concrete technical implementation guidance. Vendors bidding on statistical MIS projects (like the canceled GBoS component) must guess at requirements, leading to proposal rejections or project cancellations.
