This first World Bank Knowledge Report
launches what is intended as a series of World Bank
Knowledge Reports. Although knowledge is a fundamental to
the Bank s overall mission, and informs all of the Bank s
development activities, it has not received the same degree
of attention from management that has been accorded to its
lending activities. By paying attention to knowledge work as
a distinct service, the Bank and our stakeholders will be
able to better understand the results of that work. This
will lead to better management of the knowledge production
process, more strategic partnerships with other knowledge
institutions, and greater operational and policy impact. As
the first in the series, this report spends some time
surveying the horizon describing what kind of knowledge
activities the World Bank undertakes and what its experience
with this type of work has been. Consultations within the
Bank and with external reviewers and partners during
preparation of the report have enabled the institution to
speak more clearly about the full range of these activities,
and how they are evolving in response to changing conditions
in the world and the changing demands of clients. In terms
of the way forward, this first Knowledge Report makes some
specific recommendations for measuring results and opening
many of the Bank s processes to more external inputs. The
report also identifies important issues that will become
part of ongoing conversations, both within the Bank and with
clients and external partners. This volume is a synthesis of
inputs from a variety of studies and units across the Bank.
These are covered in significantly greater detail in a
Background Report, which may be of greatest interest to Bank
staff and managers who want a more in-depth understanding. |
