| Summary: | In a year marked by change throughout
the institution, the Independent Evaluation Group’s
commitment to rigorous analysis, innovative methodological
approaches, and the sharing of knowledge and lessons remains
its foundation. Though topics ranged from forced
displacement to creating markets, the evaluations presented
similar stories about what is and is not working at the
World Bank Group, providing guidance on improving outcomes.
Common themes included building resilience, monitoring who
benefits, and increasing private sector engagement. A
highlight of FY19 was the release of the World Bank Group
Evaluation Principles, co-led by the IEG Methods Adviser in
collaboration with IFC, MIGA, and the World Bank. The
principles act to solidify a Bank Group evaluation approach
based on the evaluation framework established in FY18. The
document delineates core principles for evaluation and
underlying principles for planning, conducting, and using
evaluations at the Bank Group. In FY20, IEG will position
itself to provide even greater impact by focusing on the
development effectiveness questions that most concern the
institution and its clients in terms of what is needed to
influence country development outcomes and where the Bank
Group can do more, differently, or better. IEG has aligned
its work program with Bank Group strategic priorities,
keeping in mind the Sustainable Development Goals,
commitments made in the IBRD and IFC Capital Packages, and
the themes of the IDA’s last two replenishments (IDA18 and 19). |
