The document is a report on the roles of the World Bank and IMF. It contains an introduction, background sections on the profiles and descriptions of the World Bank and IMF. It discusses their origins, objectives, key activities, roles, and how they differ. The World Bank has financed 87 Financial Management Information System projects in 51 countries totaling over $2.2 billion. The report aims to analyze the performance and outputs of these projects to identify success and failure factors. It is based on project documents from 94 projects in 51 countries. The findings suggest World Bank interventions in designing and implementing financial management systems have generally been successful in most client countries.

5. Executive Summary
Since 1984, the World Bank has _ nanced 87 Financial Management Information System (FMIS)
projects in 51 countries, totaling over US $2.2 billion, of which US $938 million was for FMIS-
related ICT solutions.1 This study presents the World Bank’s experience with these investment
operations, including substantial ICT components, in order to share the achievements and
challenges observed, and provide guidance for improving the performance of future projects.
Building on the existing FMIS literature and new data available, this study is structured
according to four overarching questions:2 What historical pa_ erns emerge from World Bank–_
nanced Treasury/FMIS projects? This includes an analysis of project scope, cost, duration,
design, objectives, and ICT solutions, among other aspects. How have such projects performed
according to various criteria? What are the key factors that contribute to the success and failure
of projects? What have we learned that could be useful for future projects? The _ ndings of this
study are primarily based on the 2010 FMIS Database, which includes 55 closed and 32 active
Treasury/FMIS (T/F) projects implemented between 1984 and 2010 (7 pipeline projects are also
analyzed in some sections).3 The data were gathered primarily from internal World Bank
documents and sources: individual project Implementation Completion Reports (ICRs), Project
Appraisal Documents (PADs), and the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) reports, and were
complemented by interviews with project leaders and public sector/informatics specialists. The
Database contains a rich set of operational data and performance ratings for the bene_ t of those
involved in the implementation of such projects, as well as client countries. The Latin America
and Caribbean region of the World Bank stands out with the largest number of completed (25)
and active (4) projects. The Africa region follows with 13 completed and 12 active projects. The
majority of these completed projects are comprehensive FMIS solutions (32) or an expansion of
such systems (13).

6. The approach followed by World Bank teams in the preparation of completed and active projects
is also analyzed by determining the degree of a_ ention to key preparation activities. There were
some sign cant delays, but mostly within the project budget. Comparisons to similar applications
in the private sector are also provided to highlight parallel performance pa_ erns. Building from a
previously prepared dra_ FMIS report in 2003 (Dorotinsky and Cho), this study reviews a
broader set of projects and documents to analyze the performance and outputs of FMIS projects,
with an in-depth analysis of the success and failure factors (the previous draw_ FMIS report
focused on 31 projects from 24 countries, whereas the current report covers 94 projects from 51
countries). Based on the _ endings of the current study, the interventions of the World Bank in
the design and implementation of FMIS solutions have been reasonably successful in most
countries.
