| Summary: | The Results and Performance of the World
Bank Group (RAP) report is an annual review by the
Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) of the development
effectiveness of the World Bank Group. The RAP covers the
World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development and International Development Association), the
International Finance Corporation, and the Multilateral
Investment Guarantee Agency (four of the five institutions
of the World Bank Group). The report synthesizes existing
evidence from IEG evaluations, validations, and engagements,
complemented by analysis of relevant information from other
sources (for example, World Bank Group documents). Results
and performance are assessed separately for each of the
institutions because of their differing time frames,
operating models, and clients. The theme this year is
environmental sustainability, focusing on selected questions
related to the contribution of the World Bank Group to
environmental sustainability (chapter 1). This RAP (i)
assesses the extent to which the World Bank Group portfolio
includes activities that support environmental
sustainability (and changes over a 10-year period), (ii)
takes stock of how the World Bank Group is measuring its
contribution to environmental sustainability, and (iii)
presents analysis on the World Bank Group’s systems for
managing environmental and social risks. The RAP does not
seek to provide an overall assessment of the environmental
effects of the World Bank Group’s projects because data are
available only for the subset of projects where
environmental goals were the primary objective. |
