| Summary: | The World Bank's Country Policy and
Institutional Assessment (CPIA) assess the conduciveness of
a country's policy and institutional framework to
poverty reduction, sustainable growth, and the effective use
of development assistance. It plays an important role in the
country performance ratings that have been used for
allocating resources from the International Development
Association (IDA) to eligible countries since 1980. This
evaluation takes the premise that beyond informing IDA
allocation, the CPIA is useful as a broad indicator of
development effectiveness. It assesses the relevance of the
content of the CPIA through a review of the economics
literature. It also assesses the reliability of CPIA ratings
in two ways-through comparing CPIA ratings with similar
indicators, and through reviewing the CPIA ratings
generation process. Based on these assessments, the
evaluation derives recommendations for enhancing the CPIA. |
