Task Force Chairman's records

Series consists of records relating to the Task Force on Cost Sharing and Local Cost Financing created and received by task force Chairman Randy Harris of the Central Operations Department (COD). Records include what was likely reference material for: the initial response to the Board regarding the determination of the levels of local cost financing and cost sharing for individual projects; and for the work of the actual Task Force on Cost Sharing and Local Cost Financing. These records primarily date fromthe mid- to late 1980s, but also include a November 29, 1968 memorandum by the Bank's general counsel in response to a policy paper on "Foreign exchange loans for local expenditures." Reference material dating from the 1980s primarily takes the form of memoranda discussing specific cases of cost sharing in Bank projects. A review of Bank practices and policies relating to cost sharing, dated March 14, 1986 and distributed by Operational Policy Vice President S. Shahid Husain, is also included.

The seriesincludes records relating to the Bank's initial response to questions on cost sharing from the Executive Directors. These records primarily include memoranda and correspondence discussing the review of the drafted response but also include lists showing then current country cost sharing limits. A transcription of the portion of the June 13, 1989, Board meeting where questions about cost sharing in Bank projects were initially raised is included and what appears to be the final text of the response coordinated by COD Director Ducksoo Lee and shared with Secretary's Vice President and Secretary Timothy T. Thahane for distribution to the Executive Directors on October 2, 1989.

Records relating to the establishment of the Task Force begin in late October 1989 and consist almost exclusively of memoranda. Memoranda includes attachments in the form of reference material, Task Force report drafts and draft reviews, and responses by Task Force members to a request for thoughts on the subject of project cost sharing.Minutes of Task Force meetings are also included.

An early draft (February 14, 1990) distributed to Task Force members and to Senior Vice President of Operations (OPNSV) Moeen Qureshi is included. Responses to a subsequent draft circulated to Task Force members on April 27, 1990 is also included, although the draft itself is not. Two copies of the final report submitted to Qureshi on May 31, 1990 are also included, with a cover letter authored by Mr. Lee.

Records dating from after the submission of thereport to Qureshi relate to implementation of the report's suggestions and to the drafting of OD 6.30 Local Cost Financing and Cost Sharing.
