| Summary: | Ratings for the Early Childhood
Development Project are as follows: Outcome was moderately
unsatisfactory, Bank performance was moderately
unsatisfactory, and Quality of monitoring and evaluation was
modest. This assessment offers the following lessons: (1)
Collaboration, strong national ownership of the NSP, and
financial support are requisite conditions but do not ensure
performance and outcomes because the World Bank must also
provide rigor and candor in its dialogue and advice. (ii)
Country teams need to share and archive lessons and
implementation knowledge, including Global Practice
knowledge, across projects. (iii) The institutional
arrangements for cross-sectoral or cross-ministerial action
and coordination are less likely to succeed when authority
is centered in one of the involved ministers or ministries.
(iv) Intersectoral coordination may more likely be sustained
with “light mechanisms” and financial resources that empower
ministries and national agencies to focus on achieving a
convergence of common policies, actions, and results. |
