IMPLEMENTATION PLAN IN RESPONSE TO THE BOARD-ENDORSED RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE IEOEVALUATION ON THE EVOLVING APPLICATION OF THEIMF'S MANDATE March 11, 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Management Implementation Plan (MIP) proposes actions in response to theBoard-endorsed recommendations provided by the Independent Evaluation Office(IEO)’s report on the Evolving Application of the IMF’s Mandate. The MIP addresses the four IEO recommendations, which aim to (i) Enhance thedecision-making process for Fund engagement in new policy areas; (ii) Addressoperational challenges by producing budget data in a manner that allows tracking bypolicy area across all Fund activities and operations; (iii) Enhance the clarity of keyelements regarding surveillance in new policy areas, and (iv) Adopt an Executive Board-approved high-level Statement of Principles for Engagement with Partners. Staff will leverage existing and planned workstreams to address the IEO’srecommendations. Specifically: •The ongoing Comprehensive Surveillance Review (2026 CSR) will propose thedesired level of engagement in new policy areas consistent with the forward-lookingsurveillance priorities, consideration of tradeoffs grounded in enterprise riskassessment, and available expertise. It will also indicate where additional resourcesmight be required. An updated Surveillance Guidance Note will be publishedfollowing the conclusion of the 2026 CSR. •The MIP builds on the strong existing budget framework as well as significant recentefforts to continue to update and strengthen budget data reporting, recognizing itsimportance for strategic prioritization and budget monitoring. •The existing modalities for collaboration with external partners will provide a strongbasis to outline an Executive Board-approved high-level Statement of Principles forEngagement with Partners. The proposed activities to enhance the decision-making process for considering theFund’s engagement in new policy areas, further strengthen budget data, and updatethe 2022 Surveillance Guidance Note build on and reinforce existing processes. Thedevelopment of high-level principles on engagement with partners is expected torequire only modest gross resources. As such, the resource cost of these activities couldbe absorbed within the current budgetary envelope for their respective workstreams ifthe work proceeds as planned. Nonetheless, deeper engagement with partners and anyadditional policy areas the Fund engages in would likely require additional netresourcing.
