Resourcing Implementation of the World Bank's 2007 Governance and Anticorruption Strategy

This working paper presents the findings and conclusions of a review of the resourcing approach and related actions to implement the World Bank's 2007 Governance and Anticorruption (GAC) strategy. The strategy paper noted that the World Bank Group (WBG) had been 'actively engaged' for at least the past decade in each of the areas of action at the country level as outlined in the strategy. The strategy paper and implementation plan listed a large number of implementation activities. But there was no attempt made, given the Bank's continuous GAC work, to clearly identify: a starting point or baseline of activities that pre-dated the strategy and which would continue to be funded by the existing large Bank budgetary spending on governance work; and a prioritized set of incremental activities that required funding through additional bank budget or trust funds. The strategy paper did not indicate any priority activities for financing; it also did not mention the Bank budget as a source of funding and emphasized non-traditional funding mechanisms (external sources of funding) in general terms for work at the country level.

Summary:This working paper presents the findings and conclusions of a review of the resourcing approach and related actions to implement the World Bank's 2007 Governance and Anticorruption (GAC) strategy. The strategy paper noted that the World Bank Group (WBG) had been 'actively engaged' for at least the past decade in each of the areas of action at the country level as outlined in the strategy. The strategy paper and implementation plan listed a large number of implementation activities. But there was no attempt made, given the Bank's continuous GAC work, to clearly identify: a starting point or baseline of activities that pre-dated the strategy and which would continue to be funded by the existing large Bank budgetary spending on governance work; and a prioritized set of incremental activities that required funding through additional bank budget or trust funds.
