### Purpose and scope
- Fulfills the requirement of a forward-looking implementation plan for Board-endorsed recommendations of the IEO Evaluation of IMF Involvement in International Trade Policy Issues (“the Evaluation”).
- Provides the framework for proposals for implementation corresponding to the Evaluation’s specific recommendations and Directors’ responses.
- Indicates Table 1 sets out: the Evaluation’s specific recommendations, Directors’ responses, and the proposals for implementation within this framework.

### Strategic implications
- The Evaluation and the Executive Board’s conclusions provide impetus to re-prioritizing the Fund’s trade policy work.
- Directors called for recommendations to be implemented within the existing resource envelope.
- Emphasizes achieving closer and more effective cooperation with the WTO as part of implementation.

### Implementation approach and constraints
- The implementation plan does not provide detailed costing of individual items because Directors requested implementation within the existing resource envelope.
- Proposals are organized within the framework linking Evaluation recommendations, Directors’ responses, and implementation measures (referenced as Table 1).

### Subjects and thematic focus
- Collaboration with other international organizations
- Collaboration with World Bank
- Fund role
- Independent Evaluation Office
- International trade agreements
- Multilateral surveillance
- Trade policy
- World Trade Organization
