The World Bank Policy on Disclosure of Information
Author: Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 9780821328071
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
Foreword by Lewis T. Preston, President, the World Bank (1991-1995). Sets out World Bank policy on disclosure of information. The policy applies to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). This useful booklet presents the World Bank's policy on disclosure of information and describes the materials available to the public. The Bank's experience in implementing effective and sustainable development programs clearly indicates that the quality of many operations benefits when staff and government officials consult and share information with program participants. This experience inspired the Bank to launch a major review of its disclosure policy in 1993. The review resulted in a recommendation to make Bank information more publicly available. The revised policy expands the range of documents subject to release and facilitates public access to them. A significant outcome was the Bank's establishment of a Public Information Center through which much of the material covered by the revised policy is available. Also available: French (ISBN 0-8213-3129-9) Stock No. 13129; Spanish (ISBN 0-8213-3130-2) Stock No. 13130.

The report examines the evolving institutional arrangements, challenges, and governance risks for the sectors in which ADB operates.
