| Summary: | The Independent Evaluation Group (IEG)
has established three Strategic Engagement Areas (SEAs)
around which it has organized its work program. One of those
SEAs is Sustained Service Delivery for the Poor. This paper
on behavior change constitutes one of two methodology papers
(the other being on service delivery) that establish a new
lens through which to understand the World Bank’s portfolio
in IEG evaluations. The paper outlines the economic and
psychosocial theories that have led to an array of
frameworks for helping policy makers design behaviorally
conscious interventions. After establishing criteria for an
evaluative behavior change framework suitable for World Bank
projects and finding that none of the existing frameworks
fits that set of criteria, this paper proposes a new
framework, CrI2SP, which categorizes elements of World Bank
projects, and introduces an evaluative framework for
capturing the degree to which behavioral considerations have
been integrated into World Bank projects. |
