49. The implementation of his revised MTSF will commence over the next few months. Operational departments and offices will examine the implications of this document n their operations, and submit to their respective Vice Presidents (East a d West), by the end of the first quarter of 1995, a 1995 Action Plan for implementation. The specific activities to be undertaken to support the 1995 Action Plan are as follows.

50. The Planning Directions, to be issued by the President during the first quarter 1995, will outline the overall and indicative dimensions of the Bank's operations over the 1996-1998 period, taking account of the revised MTSF. This will serve as framework for operating units to set unit-specific objectives, outputs and related performance measures.

51. Over the period January to April 1995, the Programs Departments, in association with other operational departments and offices, will field country programming missions if these have not already been fielded during the last quarter of 1994), and will finalize a Country Assistance Plan (CAP) for each DMC by the end of June 1995. The CAP will reflect the strategic directions of the MTSF as described in this document, and the planning directions of the President. The CAPs will be consolidated for each of the two regions covered by the Bank (East and West), and for the Bank as a whole as reflected in the Compendium of CAPs, which will be prepared for the information of the Board.

52. The Bank's Three-Year Rolling Work Program and Budget Framework will consolidate the CA as well as the operating objectives and planned outputs of all organizational units within the Bank. It will represent the Bank's overall annual medium-term planning document. It will be sent to Management for approval in August and informally discussed with the Board in September 1995.

53. The Annual Budget Document, to be reviewed and approved by the Board during the last quarter of 1995, will appropriately reflect the new thrusts of this strategic framework. Table 1 illustrates the annual planning process to be adopted for 1995 -1998.
