Evaluation Report: Action Plan for Group C and D Countries
No full textIn 1997, the Board of Executive Directors approved funding for a special program to improve the capacity of C and D countries to make effective use of Bank financing. The ultimate purpose of this initiative was to help the Bank and these countries to achieve the financing goals established in the Bank\u27s Seventh Replenishment Exercise. The purpose of this evaluation (RE-242) by the Office of Evaluation and Supervision (OVE) is to examine the effectiveness of the execution mechanisms employed to achieve planned objectives. It should be noted that, due to the short time that has elapsed since the Plan was initiated, it has not been possible to assess the impact of its activities on the capacity of the 19 C and D countries to absorb Bank financing

Analysis of Research Department\u27s Activities and the Work of the Bank: Economic Assessment Reports (EARs)/High Level Consultation Meetings (Encerronas)
No full textThe principal objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of EARs on country papers, the Bank\u27s operations program, and the countries\u27 adoption of RES proposals. To achieve this objective, a comparative qualitative analysis of the encerronas for the various countries was prepared, the content of the supporting EARs was reviewed, and a series of meetings was held with the main officials involved in the encerronus. To study the interaction between content and the discussion of issues at the encerronus, certain specific cross-cutting issues are for all the counties were selected on the basis of two complementary criteria: their repetition at all the encerronus and their obvious importance for establishing the countries\u27 development strategies. The issues were: (a) privatization and infrastructure; (b) exchange policy and dollarization; and (c) decentralization. The study covers 10 countries in which encerronus were held between 1997 and August 2000, based on the documents provided by RES
World Bank Group Evaluation Principles
No full textThe World Bank Group is committed to
its twin goals: to eradicate extreme poverty and boost
shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. The World Bank
Group’s Forward Look – A Vision for the World Bank Group in
2030 outlines how the World Bank Group strives to achieve
these goals in close partnership with our shareholders:
first, by working to accelerate inclusive and sustainable
economic growth; second, by helping countries to invest more
effectively in people; and third, by fostering resilience to
global shocks and threats.Implementing the Forward Look and
contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable
Development Goals require the World Bank Group to
continually adapt to rapidly changing situations based on
evidence of what works and what does not. Timely and
appropriate adaptive management requires building a culture
of continuous improvement and problem-solving, based on
evidence. Evaluation plays a key role in generating the
evidence about what works in different contexts, and in
identifying lessons for World Bank Group stakeholders. The
2015 External Review of the Independent Evaluation Group
(IEG) recommended that the World Bank Group develop an
“institution-wide, principles-based living evaluation
policy” that outlines the principles, criteria, and
accountabilities for evaluation across the organization. In
response, World Bank Group Management and IEG have jointly
developed common principles for evaluation in the World Bank
Group, which form the foundation of this document. The
common principles include core principles for evaluation,
and principles for selecting, conducting, and using
evaluations. These aim to strengthen accountability and
learning for evidence-based decision making and program
improvement to enhance development results. They are
designed to: (a) align the World Bank Group’s evaluative
efforts with global challenges and the World Bank Group’s
strategic focus; (b) clarify the roles and responsibilities
of key actors and encourage synergy among them throughout
the evaluation process; and (c) ensure that all World Bank
Group evaluations are robust, of high quality, and credible
Non-bank Financial Institutions and Capital Markets in Turkey
No full textThis study analyses the state of
development, and prospects of future growth of Turkish
non-bank financial institutions, and capital markets.
Currently, credit markets in Turkey are dominated by
banking, and capital markets are dominated by Government
securities. Longstanding macro-economic instability, and
inflation have discouraged investment in financial assets,
and crowded out funding for the private sector. The
resulting lack of depth, and breadth has made the financial
sector vulnerable to shocks, resulting in repeated crises,
and, has reduced its intermediation efficiency. To enhance
the financial sector's capacity to support private
sector development, and economic growth, and to reduce its
vulnerability to shocks, non-bank sources of finance should
be developed. The report identifies the key policy issues
that should be addressed for this purpose. The discussion,
and policy recommendations are structured around the
following leading themes: a) mobilizing savings; b) building
an institutional investor base, comprising insurance
companies, private pension funds, and mutual funds; c)
developing equity, debt, and derivative markets; d)
developing leasing, factoring, and venture capital
companies; and, e) strengthening confidence in financial
markets through improved corporate governance, accounting
and auditing standards, and practices, and, financial sector
regulation, and supervision
Evaluation of IDB Action Plan for Private Sector Development in C&D Countries
No full textThis paper (RE-319) presents the evaluation of the Action Plan in support of private sector development in C&D Countries performed by the Office of Evaluation and Oversight. In this context, considering that the strategies for private sector development in C&D countries have been recently implemented and only approved for three countries, this evaluation will focus on the Action Plan\u27s implementation, by verifying whether the Action Plan achieved its objectives to enhance the quality, quantity and coordination of the activities of the IDB Group in support of private sector development in C&D countries. Based on a desk-analysis of the IDB\u27s documentation related to the Action Plan, the evaluation follows several sequential steps

Oversight Note on the Additionality of Resources of the C and D Action Plan
No full textAs part of OVE 2003 work program (RE-290), the Board of Directors requested an oversight study on the "financial additionality" of the C and D Action Plan. Responding to this, this report addresses the issue of whether the Plan provided financial additionality to C and D borrowing member countries. Based on the limited data available, the study attempts to estimate financial additionality for each of the four subprograms included in the Plan. These include support for: 1) Project identification and execution in country offices (CO) using administrative resources; 2) Project preparation in headquarters (HQ) using administrative resources; 3) Project identification and execution in CO using FSO resources; 4) Training using FSO resources. The study findings indicate mixed results with regard to financial additionality
Delivering Climate Agenda for LAC: IDB Group Actions to 2020
No full textClimate change presents challenges to ensuring global sustainable and inclusive development. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement and the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reflect an unprecedented level of commitment to deliver sustainable development to meet these challenges. The transformation of the global economy needs to start immediately if we are to meet the Paris objective for keeping global temperature rise well below 2°C by the end of the century, which most estimate will mean achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The Agreement recognizes the need to achieve zero net emissions, calls for the alignment of all financial flows to a pathway for low-carbon and climate-resilient development, and urges industrial countries to jointly increase climate finance to US$100 billion per year by 2020. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change such as sea level rise, natural disasters, water and vector-borne diseases, and changing precipitation and temperature patterns that jeopardize health, productivity, and food-producing crops. These impacts threaten poverty, inequality reduction and sustainable growth in the region. In the context of the Paris Agreement, 25 of the Inter-American Development Bank Group’s (IDBG) 26 borrowing member countries have submitted Intended Nationally Determined Contributions or Nationally Determined Contributions (referred to as NDCs throughout this document), that include emissions reduction commitments and climate resilience plans (as of September 2017). Progress toward implementation of pledges will determine the rate at which the world will be able to act to tackle climate change
