| Summary: | The report discusses how challenging it
is for the World Bank Group to provide assistance when
middle-income countries experience situations of fragility,
conflict, and violence. The government may have its own
views on how and when to tackle the underlying issues, or
may be reluctant to increase its borrowing to correct what
may be seen as a localized or temporary problem. Through
examining such cases, IEG concluded that the Bank Group’s
comparative advantage is supporting countries in tackling
long-term development challenges, including early engagement
and a sustained presence in conflict-affected areas, as well
as continuous dialogue with the parties to violent
conflicts, where possible. |
