Summary: | This Annual Review of Development
Effectiveness (ARDE) brings together evaluative evidence
from the recent work of the Independent Evaluation Group of
the World Bank to address three questions surrounding this
results chain in countries, with a particular focus on the
Bank's role in the chain: (a) how effectively has
economic growth translated into poverty reduction in
Bank-assisted countries, and what factors have affected
these results? (b) what factors have led to high-quality
results in areas that deliver services to the poor? (c) what
measures help raise the accountability of public
institutions responsible for delivering and sustaining
results? The report identifies features that characterize
the country experiences and assistance programs that have
delivered results: (1) effective programs have a twofold
focus: they emphasize both the ingredients of growth and the
measures that help the poor share in the growth process; (2)
they build on a realistic and well-informed assessment of
the political commitment and capacity of the recipient to
deliver results, and they emphasize coalition and capacity
building to help attain results; (3) they combine sustained
engagement with clear intermediate milestones; and (4) they
emphasize improved transparency and local control of public
institutions, factors that spur these institutions to
deliver results. |
