| description |
In 2013, the Board of Executive
Directors of the World Bank Group endorsed two ambitious
goals: eliminating extreme poverty in the world by 2030 and
boosting shared prosperity. The latter is defined as
fostering the growth in the income of the poorest 40 percent
of the population in each country. In 2016-17, the World
Bank's Independent Evaluation Group conducted an
evaluation on how well the World Bank Group has been
pursuing the shared prosperity goal in its strategies,
projects, and key knowledge products, and what lessons can
be learned from the early implementation experience with the
new goal of shared prosperity. To inform that evaluation, a
comprehensive survey among World Bank Group staff graded F
and above was set up to elicit staff views and understanding
of the goal and gauge how World Bank Group staff have
operationalized the objective in their day-to-day work. The
survey builds on good practice design in the literature as
well as actions to strengthen the response rate. This paper
reports on the design, methodology (including issues of
sampling, questionnaire testing, data collection, and
response rate), implementation, and results from that
web-based survey. The results imply potential institutional
actions to strengthen the World Bank Group's
effectiveness in implementing the goal in the future. |
