This first-of-its-kind evaluation
assesses the scope of the World Bank Group’s convening power
and how effectively it is deployed. The report finds that
the Bank Group’s comparative advantages give it strong
convening power that it uses on many development issues. In
so doing, it meets the demands of shareholders and stays
highly relevant as a global actor often making strong and
relevant convening contributions. There are many examples of
effective Bank Group convening efforts, such as the Scaling
up Nutrition initiative, the Consultative Group for
International Agricultural Research, and initiatives in the
areas of carbon finance, financial inclusion, development
data, poverty measurement, river blindness, and several
other global heath partnerships. The evaluation finds that
the Bank Group is more likely to be effective when the
external context is favorable, the Bank Group’s internal
capacities are strong, when initiatives have clear
objectives and are put into effect in country programs, and
when engagement is sustained over time. The Bank Group has
room to become a more effective convener by more selectively
scoping its convening contributions, improving processes to
manage convening initiatives over their lifecycle, and by
more closely aligning convening initiatives with country programs. |
