### Strategic focus and work-plan design
- The final work plan is budgeted at $6.7 million (activities initiated after April 2025 to be charged to Phase II).
- The final work plan is designed to deliver on the strategic log frame, including:
  - Concentration on countries with earlier D4D engagement.
  - Full-fledged work plan across all work streams.
  - Many countries nearing expected outcome for NAS, HFI and RPPI.
  - Continuation of temporary ad hoc advisory services and of expansion of eligibility to D4D Fund.
  - Blended learning as an efficient CD modality.
- Fiscal and debt reporting will remain a priority.
- Focus on AFR and FCS (e.g., in the ESS submodule with the LTX in AFC).

### Delivery plans by statistical domain and expected completions
- NAS / HFI / RPPI
  - Mostly follow-up technical assistance missions.
  - Several countries expected to launch an HFI (e.g., Cameroon) and RPPI.
  - Final work plan focus on follow-up missions to countries close to results.
  - Several countries are expected to reach desired outcomes by the end of Phase I.
- ESS (Economic Statistics)
  - Many beneficiary countries launched new surveys and tap into new data sources, but additional time is needed to validate and fully utilize these before using them for compiling ESS.
  - Final work plan will accelerate progress by conducting follow-up missions to countries where outcomes could be fully or largely achieved, especially related to utilizing new data sources.
  - Source data will continue to be a focus with many follow-ups.
- PSDS / GFS and price / index work
  - Projects expected to move to completion with additional mission in FY25:
    - GDP rebasing: Sierra Leone, Vietnam
    - New PPI: India, Namibia, Philippines, Zambia
    - CPI rebasing: Bhutan, WAEMU members
    - XMPI rebasing: Tunisia
    - Updated sectoral accounts: Philippines

### Module-specific operational priorities
- Module 2 — Financial Access Survey (FAS)
  - Continuous improvement of the FAS database.
  - Implementation of the FAS Advisory Group recommendations.
  - Focus on Africa where needs are more acute, in close coordination with the African Development Bank.
- Module 4 — Statistical Information Management (SIM)
  - Operationalizing modern dissemination techniques for key macro-financial datasets, including those published on National Data Summary Page (NSDP), using SDMX.

### Online learning curriculum delivery

  - Partnering on delivery of a regional workshop on international trade in services and digital trade statistics for African countries.
  - Collaboration with WAEMU, WAIFEM, MEMFI on HFI and Prices CD delivery in Africa.

### Country eligibility and operational timing

- New LLMIC list in July 2024.
- Revised extended list will be proposed in next quarterly report in October (using same methodology).
- Vulnerability of near-threshold non-LLMICs expected to remain.
- Recommendation: Extend to FY25 the temporary expansion of country eligibility.
- The 2024 Work plan (May 2024–June 2025) is the final work plan and final budget endorsement of Phase I and aims to utilize the remaining budget envelope before Phase II starts.
- There will be a two-month bridge to Phase II (May–June 2025) to avoid interruption in CD delivery.
