| Summary: | From the 15th replenishment of the
International Development Association (IDA15)through IDA18,
the Crisis Response Window (CRW) evolved from a focus on
economicshocks to include two other types of crises—natural
disasters and public healthemergencies. The CRW was set up
as a pilot under IDA15 to address repercussionsrelated to
the global financial crisis on IDA countries. When
established as a permanent part of IDA, it was amended to
address the impact of natural disasters in addition to
economic shocks. CRW coverage was expanded to include public
health emergencies when the Ebola crisis erupted in 2014.
This IEG synthesis paper takes stock of experience with
IDA’s CRW, making use of IEG evaluative evidence. The paper
synthesizes findings from existing evaluations and
information on CRW performance during its pilot stage under
IDA15 and subsequent IDA cycles, to inform stakeholders and
promote learning. The audience for this paper is primarily
internal, including management, Executive Directors
(including the Committee on Development Effectiveness), and
IDA deputies. |
