| Summary: | For the Independent Evaluation Group
(IEG), fiscal year (FY) 20 was a year of both internally and
externally driven reform. IEG began the year with a mission
to listen to the needs of our clients and stakeholders and
improve our methods, relationships, and products to increase
the relevance and value of our evaluative work. Thus, when
the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) struck in the spring of
2020, IEG was already mobilized to respond to the World Bank
Group’s critical needs with agility, flexibility, and
innovation. The regular work program included evaluations of
Bank Group convening power, country programs in Albania and
the Philippines, irrigation, and education. Though before
the pandemic, IEG offered just-in-time learning and
on-demand learning engagements, the pandemic pushed us to
double our efforts by mining our rich data archives to
provide important lessons on Bank Group responses to past
public health crises and collect knowledge in an online
COVID-19 library. FY21 will continue challenging IEG to
respond to rapidly changing pandemic conditions, produce
just-in-time insights to help decision-making, and evaluate
projects and programs with the same rigor as ever. We are
committed to finding new ways of sharing knowledge,
learning, and evaluating what works in the World Bank Group. |
