| description |
This book finds that there is a strong
positive association between including social development
themes and project success. The Bank's social
development resources are deployed in ways that are not
optimally supportive of its social development goals,
however. The study found that the Bank's mission and
policy priorities related to social development receive
uneven treatment across Regions, and gaps in skills and
M&E lead to uneven treatment within countries. To
improve development outcomes, the Bank needs to: 1)
demonstrate the value of incorporating social development
themes in its work to its own staff as well as its
borrowers; 2) develop capacity to identify critically needed
social knowledge and to facilitate its flow; 3) provide
staff with consistent access to essential social information
to build social development into project designs and ensure
that social development concerns are addressed during
implementation (this will likely involve making greater use
of in-country capacity); 4) ensure that stated Bank or
policy priorities receive adequate treatment across Regions
and countries, and throughout the project cycle; and 5)
identify, and promote integration within, thematic
combinations that improve outcomes. |
