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. 2022-08-22T18:34:34Z 2022-08-22T18:34:34Z 2022-06-29 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099320308182223291/IDU01924461909e27042620b46a0b42f9cf5c099 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/37909 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC IEG Independent Evaluations & Annual Reviews IEG Independent Evaluations & Annual Reviews :: Project Performance Assessment Report Latin America & Caribbean Jamaica
