Abstract:

The World Bank's Independent Evaluation Group (IEG), the independent evaluation office within the World Bank, has released its report on The World Bank's Approach to Global Programs. This report entitled Addressing the Challenges of Globalization, which follows on a Phase 1 report (2002) and a meta-evaluation of the CGIAR (2003) completes IEG 's evaluation of the Bank's involvement in global programs. Based on lessons derived from studies of 26 of the Bank supported 70 global programs the report looks across these cases to draw cross-cutting lessons about the design, implementation and evaluation of global programs.
