| Summary: | Guided by the 2014 Strategic Framework
for Mainstreaming Citizen Engagement in World Bank Group
Operations, the World Bank supports policies, programs,
projects, and advisory services and analytics where citizen
engagement (CE) can improve development results. While the
corporate commitment to mainstream CE targets investment
operations, the World Bank teams continue to explore CE in
other instruments. Engaging Citizens for Better Development
Results, a report by the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG),
assessed the Bank Group’s efforts to mainstream CE. It
recommends the World Bank “encourage and support efforts of
its regional, country, and Global Practices teams to
establish, where appropriate, thick CE that is regular and
continuous, uses multiple tools, and is embedded in country
systems.” It also suggests this objective could be achieved
by more systematically using existing channels of dialogue
and stakeholder engagement, including that of Development
Policy Financing (DPF), and applying tools at the various
levels. Given this context, this Governance Note aims to
take stock of existing CE practice in DPF by shedding light
on the prior action usage. |
