### Program purpose and scope
- Technical Assistance (TA) is one of the IMF’s core activities whose purpose is to help member countries improve the design and implementation of their macroeconomic policies.
- The Executive Board established in 2002 the TA Evaluation Program to ensure the Fund’s TA meets membership needs and is efficient and effective.
- The program is announced to the Executive Board on a three-year rolling schedule.

### Evaluation methodology
- Each year a number of evaluations are carried out under the program.
- Evaluations consist of:
  - self-assessments by IMF departments providing TA; and
  - independent assessments of donor-financed TA.

### Coverage and outputs
- Since 2003, more than two dozen TA evaluations were produced.
- Coverage includes:
  - all IMF TA departments; and
  - the IMF’s Regional Technical Assistance Centers (RTACs).
- Periodically IMF staff submit to the Executive Board a review of the findings of the TA evaluation reports produced during the preceding period.
