IFCs Corporate Strategy Unit (CSMCS) is a unit in the Corporate Strategy and Operations Management Department (CSMDR), reporting to the VP of Corporate Support (COSVP). CSMCS is organized around four verticals: i) Corporate Strategy ii) Operational Strategy iii) FCS/IDA Coordination and, iv) IFC-IEG (Independent Evaluation Group) Engagement.

The Corporate Strategy function leads the development and communication of IFCs corporate strategy and produces the Strategy and Business Outlook (SBO) among other products. The Operational Strategy team is responsible for gathering intelligence, formulating operational strategies, and catalyzing conversations and initiatives.
