IMF Archives: Finding Aids
African Department Records
African Department Immediate Office Records
AFRAI Technical Assistance Files
Date(s): 1966-1989 |
Content and structure
Scope and content: Series consists of records that demonstrate the African Department's role in coordinating IMF technical assistance in African member countries. Although most Technical Assistance projects and missions were carried out by Central Banking Services (CBS) and Fiscal Affairs Department (FAD), AFR received copies and original correspondence and reports from member countries, central banks and technical assistants. AFR advised on: technical assistance requests; the recruitment of experts; the deployment of recruited experts to the field; regular reports and reviews; and the termination or renewal of missions. Files contain: correspondence from member countries, central banks or technical assistants that was sent to AFR or to the functional departments responsible for technical assistance and copied to AFR; internal memoranda from responsible departments concerning recruitment and soliciting comments about candidates; copies of the contracts and terms of reference for technical assistants; reports from technical assistants; cables about travel and settlement arrangements; and news wire telexes about current developments in the country in question. Reports from the technical assistants are typically in the form of numbered letters. Files are arranged alphabetically by country and then chronologically. Within the files, the records are arranged chronologically and often also by the name of the assistant.
Conditions of Access and Use
Conditions governing access and reproduction: Series contains records on recruitment with potentially sensitive information on individuals and is therefore closed. Box 20 contains files and documents which are closed because they contain other sensitive information (mostly personal information).
Language/script of material: English, French
Associated Materials
Related units of description: Technical Assistance files in this series show the Immediate Office's role in the recruitment and placement of technical assistants. Files found in AFRAI Subject Files and AFR Division Files series reflect technical assistance as a general function of the IMF, as opposed to specific technical assistance issues in member countries. Technical assistance files in AFR Country Desk Files series relate to a technical assistant on assignment. Functional departments, such as FAD or CBS, were responsible for most technical assistance missions and may have more complete information on file.
