This working paper presents the findingsand conclusions of a review of the resourcing approach andrelated actions to implement the World Bank's 2007Governance and Anticorruption (GAC) strategy. The strategypaper noted that the World Bank Group (WBG) had been'actively engaged' for at least the past decade ineach of the areas of action at the country level as outlinedin the strategy. The strategy paper and implementation planlisted a large number of implementation activities. Butthere was no attempt made, given the Bank's continuousGAC work, to clearly identify: a starting point or baselineof activities that pre-dated the strategy and which wouldcontinue to be funded by the existing large Bank budgetaryspending on governance work; and a prioritized set ofincremental activities that required funding throughadditional bank budget or trust funds. The strategy paperdid not indicate any priority activities for financing; italso did not mention the Bank budget as a source of fundingand emphasized non-traditional funding mechanisms (externalsources of funding) in general terms for work at the country level.
