The FIRST arrangement is built upon close collaboration between the Bank and the IMF, both to leverage institutional expertise, and as the designated implementing agencies for FIRST TA. This arrangement also seeks to promote collaboration among a wide range of institutions, including other bilateral agencies and multilateral development banks. 1.3 The Charter sets out the governance arrangements of FIRST that encapsulate this collaborative arrangement. 2. Basic Principles 2.1 Following are basic principles that will guide FIRST (the "Basic Principles"): 2.1.1 A demand-driven approach with open access FIRST aims to be demand-driven and open in its approach, as a strong advocate of financial sector development, and seeks to identify effective new ideas and modalities in the delivery of TA. To this end, FIRST accepts technical assistance requests from a wide range of sources for the benefit of client countries. As the designated implementing entities, the Bank and the IMF will prepare funding proposals to be considered for FIRST financing. 2.1.2 Additionality FIRST seeks to ensure that it funds activities that are complementary to those being funded from other sources and that its funding does not substitute for or displace more suitable or appropriate assistance available from other sources. FIRST seeks to excel in efforts to promote learning and knowledge sharing in the area of financial sector TA. -8- 2.1.3 Harmonization, transparency, and accountability FIRST promotes a model of partnership in line with the principles of: ownership, alignment, harmonization, managing for results and mutual accountability.

FIRST's partnership model also seeks to promote learning and knowledge sharing. 2.1.4 TA Beneficiaries (a) Beneficiaries of FIRST TA are policy makers, regulatory bodies, government agencies, international financial institutions, and, under limited circumstances, quasi- public institutions (such as self-regulatory organizations and industry associations).

Objectives 3.1 FIRST's overall objective is to help strengthen financial systems in low- and middle- income countries so that they make a strong and positive contribution to economic growth and help reduce poverty and income inequality.
