| Summary: | This report presents the self-evaluation
of the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) and covers the
period from 2005 to the present. The objectives of the
evaluation are as: assess IEG's structure and
organizational effectiveness; compare the scope and
structure of IEG with other development banks, including
resource allocation, staffing, and management; assess the
effectiveness of IEG in line with applicable existing best
practice in multilateral institution; and develop a set of
actions that can be taken in the short term, medium term,
and longer term. Overall, IEG's organizational systems,
reporting structures, and procedures are consistent with the
Evaluation Cooperation Group (ECG) good practice standards
for independence. However, independence is a precious asset
for effective evaluation and is at the heart of its
credibility and impartiality. IEG's work is generally
viewed as being of good quality, but areas for improvement
emerged from the surveys, in particular in relation to
processes and the coverage of approach papers. IEG will
focus on increasing the impact of evaluation lessons on the
World Bank Group. To be an effective catalyst for change,
IEG will engage more actively and upstream with Bank Group
management and ensure that its findings and recommendations
have greater practical validity and application-and ensure
at the same time that its independence is not impaired. |
