| Summary: | The year 2015 is pivotal in
international development. As the era of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) concludes, work continues to take
forward the unfinished MDG agenda and to define and meet the
more ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In
preparation for the new challenges, the World Bank Group is
changing. A new strategy in 2013 set two ambitious goals:
ending extreme poverty by 2030 and boosting shared
prosperity for the bottom 40 percent in a sustainable
manner. To achieve the twin goals and contribute
significantly to the SDGs, it is important to reflect on the
Bank Group’s experience with the MDGs to draw lessons for
its engagement with the post-2015 agenda. This report also
reviews the effectiveness of the Bank Group’s portfolio and
country programs for delivering results, and its
implementation of Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) recommendations. |
