Reforms in this area are on track, supported by Fund management, and improvements are expected by 1 May 2008. -- The Fund's TA evaluation framework needs to be strengthened by instituting a system of self assessments of all completed TAs and developing guidelines for the ex-post evaluation of TAs. Work in these areas is planned. -- The Fund delivered slightly more internally funded TA to Iraq than originally planned.
