| Summary: | The 18th replenishment of the
International Development Association (IDA18), one of the
world’s major providers of financial resources to the
poorest countries, was the largest in the institution’s
56‐year history. Together with significant changes in its
policy and financing framework, IDA’s enhanced commitment
authority was expected to enable faster progress toward the
international community’s far‐reaching and ambitious 2030
agenda,1 which aligns closely with the World Bank Group’s
twin goals of eradicating extreme poverty and boosting
shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. The objective of
this synthesis report is to draw on findings and lessons
from recent IEG evaluations (that is, those completed since
FY16) and databases that are pertinent to IDA18 special
themes and IDA support more generally to inform forthcoming
IDA19 discussions. The synthesis report focuses on learning
from IDA experience over the last 10 years in relation to
areas covered by the IDA18 special themes, drawing on
relevant IEG evaluations completed since FY16. |
