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.
