| Summary: | Globally, although growth has lifted
millions out of poverty, in many countries growth has
existed in parallel with rising inequality and groups of
people being left behind. Social discontent arising from the
lack of inclusiveness of the growth process has sometimes
led to conflicts and violence. Anchored on growth,
inclusion, and sustainability, the 2013 World Bank Group
Strategy promotes inclusive growth by pursuing the twin
goals of eliminating absolute poverty and boosting shared
prosperity. Reflecting strong concerns for equity, it
embraces policies that enhance equality of opportunity and
remove barriers against the often-excluded. The Independent
Evaluation Group (IEG) has conducted many evaluations that
have assessed World Bank Group interventions in various
dimensions of growth, inclusion, and sustainability. This
report extracts findings and distills lessons from all
relevant IEG evaluations completed between FY09 and FY18 to
shed light on the nature and results of the Bank Group’s
support in key areas of inclusive growth. |
