The World Bank Group’s Gender Strategy
(fiscal year [2016–23) presents gender equality as integral
to smart development policy and posits that successful
implementation of the strategy will help achieve the Bank
Group’s twin goals and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The strategy focuses on four objectives: human endowments,
jobs, asset control and ownership, and voice and agency. To
implement the strategy, the World Bank and International
Finance Corporation (IFC) established a new methodology and
targets for measuring progress via gender tags for World
Bank operations and gender flags for IFC advisory and
investment services. At the midpoint in the eight-year
strategic cycle, this review provides a rapid assessment of
the implementation of the strategy in the World Bank and
IFC. The purpose of the review is to provide evidence and
reveal opportunities to maximize organizational efforts over
the final four years of implementation. It reflects on what
is working well and less well to support continuous
monitoring and learning in the World Bank and IFC in terms
of strategy implementation. The review identified the
connections and coordination among four essential
institutional elements for an enhanced country-driven
approach—knowledge management, staff designated to support
work on gender, the IFC Gender Business Group and World Bank
Gender Group, and monitoring and evaluation—and identifies
four opportunities to enhance implementation. |
