Under the Senior Vice-Presidency (SNVP), the primary role of the Programming and Budget Department (SNPB) is to develop a strategic approach to planning and budgeting, and to coordinate the definition, planning, implementation and monitoring of Bank-wide programming and budgeting processes. Since 2008, SNPB has been implementing budget reforms, which include the building of systems and tools to improve the availability, accessibility, and reliability of robust information critical to strategy formulation, planning, budgeting, monitoring and reporting. The tools and systems include the Strategic Resource Assessment Software (SRAS) which is an in-house web-based application used for budget planning (submissions, simulations, and reporting).
