| Summary: | This report is an annual review of the
development effectiveness of the World Bank Group. The
report assesses the World Bank Group’s performance by
analyzing the achievement of project and program objectives
through validated ratings and by classifying these
objectives according to their outcome levels. To provide new
perspectives on performance, RAP 2020 also analyzes outcomes
and discusses ways in which the Bank Group can continue to
enhance its outcome orientation. The report highlights that
the Bank Group’s results measurement systems collect
evidence needed for ratings and for process and compliance
monitoring with limited evidence on the Bank Group’s
contributions to higher-level outcomes. Performance trends
are positive for almost all Regions and Global Practices in
the World Bank. Project ratings in countries affected by
fragility, conflict and violence show improvement but
continue to lag those in other countries. Positive ratings
trends can be linked to continued improvements in quality at
entry, strong implementation support and M&E, and
broadly conducive economic and institutional conditions in
many larger countries before the pandemic. Ratings for MIGA
projects continued to increase. IFC project ratings remain
depressed overall, but with signs of a modest uptick in the
most recent data. Less successful results are often linked
to large shocks, internal work quality and issues with
preparing for risks and their response when shocks occurred. |
