Policy Papers

This report assesses implementation of the Joint Management Action Plan on Bank-Fund Collaboration (JMAP), discusses the state of Bank-Fund collaboration more generally, and suggests ways to improve collaboration, including with respect to the challenges that have arisen in the context of the recent global economic turmoil. Overall, the report finds that while Bank-Fund collaboration has improved over the past two years, the JMAP has played a supporting rather than a central role in this. Further progress in JMAP implementation and in Bank-Fund collaboration more broadly, appears possible. The report describes a number of actions to be taken by both institutions to move the JMAP and collaboration forward.
