of the authoring CD department. With respect to consent from the CD recipient, in some instances, this consent may be obtained on a non-objection basis or may be assumed, given the subject of the information. Except as otherwise stated below ( Box 1 , bullet 3; paragraph15, bullet 4), CD recipients may withdraw consent at any time before the information is disseminated. (e) Further, in line with (d), in scenarios not specifically envisaged in the guidance, dissemination of information specific to a CD recipient or country may be authorized to specific parties
guidelines identify best practices for both area department country teams and CD departments at key points of interaction to facilitate improved integration. The proposed recommendations aim at: (i) establishing a consultative process among area and CD departments in coordination with country authorities to set the CD strategy and priorities, which country teams are encouraged to reflect in CD country strategy notes (CD-CSN); (ii) maintaining a regular engagement between CD providers and country teams over the CD project lifecycle and the surveillance/lending process
the priorities identified by the CCB and deliberations on departments’ accountability frameworks and budgets, area and CD departments agree on annual CD delivery plans. Area departments, in consultation with CD departments, prepare annual regional strategy notes (RSNs). RSNs outline short- and medium-term CD priorities for a specific region. On the basis of the RSNs, CD and area departments then develop an annual resource allocation plan (RAP). The RAP is a detailed plan about delivery of CD activities by region, by country, by funding source, and by CD
training), as well as other formats of TA (e.g., recorded webinars) could only be shared with the consent of the CD recipient(s), where relevant, and the authoring department. Similarly, any such output shared externally requires the authoring department’s permission to make or distribute copies of, make derivative versions of, or publicly display, perform or transmit, such works. Training materials shared outside the Fund may only be used to further the learning objectives of the training delivery. Ordinarily, information provided to the CD department in the course of
’s Executive Board on CD issues is being stepped up ( Box 1 ). As detailed in the background study on this topic, prioritization of CD activities has been strengthened under a reinforced interdepartmental resource allocation process. Reforms since 2013 recognize the importance of taking into consideration both country needs and the Fund’s own priorities ( Figure 3 ). The reforms also set out a greater area department role. Specifically, area departments now prepare regional strategies in consultation with CD departments as a starting point for the prioritization process
