| Summary: | In line with IEG’s long-term agenda, we
have delivered timely, highly relevant evaluations that
speak to the current issues. Likewise, we have influenced
debates in our three strategic engagement areas: inclusive
and sustainable economic growth, investing in people, and
fostering resilience to global shocks and threats. We
completed an important assessment of how wellthe World Bank
Group is positioned to attain its goal of boosting shared
prosperity. The results should help the World Bank Group
institutions—the International Bank for Reconstruction
andDevelopment (IBRD), the International Development
Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation
(IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency
(MIGA)—adjust their programsto ensure ultimate success. We
also completed two evaluations on delivering services to the
poor and simultaneously stimulated discussions about the
assessment of service delivery and behaviorchange. For our
strategic engagement area on environmental sustainability,
we put together a synthesis paper of all our findings on
resilience to systemic shocks. During the year, we enhanced
our investments in methodology. With the systematic
involvement of our new methods advisor, we have seen a
greater range of evaluation methods used in our major
reports. These investments will further mature in the coming
years and be the platform on which IEG can start testing new
methods in the future. |
