Enhancing the Impact of Fund Technical Assistance

This paper outlines reforms to increase the impact of the Fund’s Technical Assistance (TA). The MTS and recommendations by the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) have set in motion substantial changes to make Fund TA more effective, ensure that TA resources are allocated efficiently, and TA is better coordinated with recipient countries, other providers, and development partners. The Managing Director’s refocusing exercise underscored the need for reform and gave an impetus to accelerate and deepen these efforts.
