### Summary
- Presents a forward-looking implementation plan for Board-endorsed recommendations of the IEO Evaluation of IMF Interactions with Member Countries.
- Executive Directors welcomed the important insights into the effectiveness of IMF interactions, which are key to the Fund’s ability to achieve its goals.
- Directors broadly supported the need to:
  - enhance the traction of Fund surveillance,
  - improve the effectiveness of outreach,
  - strengthen the management of interactions.
- Directors also “observed that the report covers principally the pre-crisis period, and significant progress has been made on several fronts since then.”
- The implementation plan focuses on points commanding broad support by the Executive Board and builds on existing plans and ongoing reform initiatives broadly aligned with the evaluation’s recommendations.
