### Summary
- TA information should be disseminated more widely.
- More active sharing of TA information with donors and other TA providers will:
  - improve coordination,
  - exploit synergies, and
  - enable the Fund to prioritize and leverage its limited TA resources.
- Wider dissemination supports fulfillment of key objectives under the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness.
- Donors to the Fund’s TA program have a legitimate interest in receiving information on TA that is financed by them, particularly for accountability to their governments and legislators.
- For TA recipient countries, wider dissemination of TA information among different government agencies will:
  - strengthen ownership, and
  - facilitate more effective implementation of TA recommendations.
- Through publication, the membership and the public at large will benefit from a better understanding of best practices and the Fund’s experiences in the provision of TA.

### Rationale and objectives
- Improve coordination among donors and TA providers to exploit synergies and prioritize limited TA resources.
- Enhance accountability to donor governments and legislators by providing information on donor‑financed TA.
- Strengthen recipient country ownership and implementation of TA recommendations by broadening intra‑government dissemination.
- Increase public and membership understanding of best practices and the Fund’s TA experiences through publication.

### Key points and recommendations
- Disseminate TA information more widely to donors and other TA providers to improve coordination and resource leverage.
- Provide donors with information on TA financed by them to satisfy accountability needs.
- Increase intra‑government sharing of TA information in recipient countries to strengthen ownership and implementation.
- Publish TA information to inform membership and the public about best practices and Fund TA experiences.
