Information Policy and Strategy

Implications for the Bank

The adoption of a Bankwide information policy and the implementation of an information strategy will help the Bank in the promotion of its strategic agenda and objectives, as well as improve and better project its image, build up constituencies, enhance public understanding of its role, and generate greater support for its operations and resource mobilization activities.

In implementing the information policy and strategy, the Information Office will be guided by the Bank’s stated intention of doing “better with less.” However, certain areas, particularly the audiovisual and publications units, will require additional resources. These will include increased staff support and video, lighting and audio equipment for television studio, as well as for certain delivery options such as video programming, briefings, and personal presentations. Certain costs such as facsimile, which will replace mailing, and courier services, as well as subscriptions to electronic information to improve the quality of information for the Bank’s internal use, will inevitably increase. As the dissemination of information by electronic communications increases, some mailing costs will decrease.

The information role of other departments and offices is not expected to add appreciably to their workload or to involve additional costs. There may, however, be modest budgetary implications in respect of regional/resident missions.
