Summary: | During the period FY01-08, the World
Bank was Mozambique's largest development partner,
providing over $1.3 billion in International Development
Association (IDA) funds. The Bank's strategy, which was
aligned with and sought to support the government's
poverty reduction strategy, focused on three pillars:
economic growth, including macroeconomic management,
financial and private sector development, rural development,
and infrastructure; poverty reduction and human development;
and governance. The evaluation finds that the Bank's
strategy for Mozambique and its program were relevant to the
country's development needs. The Bank's program
was generally aligned with those of other development
partners that provide general budget support, especially
after FY05. Harmonization of procedures with other
development partners also progressed, although there is
scope for further improvement. Going forward, Independent
Evaluation Group (IEG) recommends that the Bank help
Mozambique sustain high growth and re-shape its pattern to
make additional gains in poverty reduction; give priority in
analytic work to infrastructure, agricultural productivity,
education quality, and HIV/AIDS; and support improvements in
the efficiency of public expenditures. |
