### Overview and Purpose
- This Management Implementation Plan (MIP) focuses on further strengthening collaboration between the IMF and the World Bank on strategic macro-structural issues.
- In macro-structural areas, the Fund and the Bank have complementary roles:
  - The Bank provides structural and development-focused assessments and recommendations.
  - The Fund focuses on integrating macro relevant structural issues in the macroeconomic frameworks and policies.
- The MIP proposes concrete steps aimed at further enhancing:
  - Bank-Fund collaboration on strategic macro-structural issues, with an initial focus on the climate workstream;
  - Fund staff’s incentives for collaboration with external partners, including the Bank;
  - Access to and exchange of information and knowledge between Bank and Fund staff.

### Current Modalities and Gaps
- Established collaboration modalities:
  - Financial sector and public debt sustainability assessments are areas where Bank-Fund collaboration modalities are well established.
- Areas requiring further development:
  - Climate change: Fund staff is developing comprehensive strategies on how the IMF can step up its engagement and collaboration with external partners, including with the World Bank, to better serve its membership.
