See: http://www.irmt.org/evidence/ From: http://www.irmt.org/evidence/wbabout.html Introduction and Background The World Bank Group is tackling a highly significant global problem - the loss of control of records and information systems, particularly in electronic environments. Accurate official records should provide the basis for poverty reduction, the rule of law, economic development, and accountability frameworks. However, systems for creating, organizing, and preserving reliable official information have broken down in many countries. At the same time, the challenges of preserving electronically-generated records in authentic form are growing. This affects the abilIty of public sector institutions to be accountable and transparent and to improve services to citizens, especially in poorer countries. 'Evidence-Based Governance in the Electronic Age', is a five-year project initiated by the Bank in partnership with the International Records Management Trust. It involves coordinating a global network of institutions to tackle a highly significant global problem the failure of records systems, particularly in electronic environments, to provide complete and trustworthy information. This involves coordinating a global network of institutions and organizations to provide support for modernizing records management systems in parallel with measures to improve public sector management. Ultimately, the aim is to mainstream records management as a cornerstone of the global development agenda. You can download a project prospectus in English (Pdf 42k) or in Spanish (Pdf 40k). You can also download project reports. The project has grown out of an effective working relationship between the Bank and the Trust. Three successful joint Bank/Trust projects have already been completed: A video-conference workshop on 'Current Records Management, Poverty Reduction and Corruption Control' was held in June 2000. High-level civil servants from Ghana, Tanzania, and Uganda shared their experiences and concerns with World Bank task managers, senior managers, and anti-corruption specialists. The Banks Information Solutions Group funded the project. The 'Information for Accountability Workshops' project, completed in January 2001, developed a methodology for educating civil society and government representatives on the significance of well-managed evidence. Civil servants, records managers, and civil society representatives piloted the workshop in Tanzania and Ghana. The project was funded by the World Bank Danish Trust Fund for Governance. The 'From Accounting to Accountability' project, completed in March 2001, defined essential issues for managing financial records and created tools for evaluating and monitoring the performance of record-keeping systems. The project was funded by the World Bank infoDev Fund. ... clip ...
