Results and Performance
of the World Bank Group
VOLUME 1: MAIN REPORTThe World Bank Group
WORKING FOR A WORLD FREE OF POVERTY
The World Bank Group consists of five institutions—the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(IBRD), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Inter-
national Development Association (IDA), the Multilateral
Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International
Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
Its mission is to fight poverty for lasting results and to help
people help themselves and their environment by provid-
ing resources, sharing knowledge, building capacity, and
forging partnerships in the public and private sectors.
The Independent Evaluation Group
ENHANCING DEVELOPMENT
EFFECTIVENESS THROUGH EXCELLENCE
AND INDEPENDENCE IN EVALUATION
he Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) is an indepen-Tdent, three-part unit within the World Bank Group.
IEG-World Bank is charged with evaluating the activities
of the IBRD (The World Bank) and IDA, IEG-IFC focuses on
assessment of IFC’s work toward private sector develop-
ment, and IEG-MIGA evaluates the contributions of MIGA
guarantee projects and services. IEG reports directly to the
Bank’s Board of Directors through the Director-General,
Evaluation.
The goals of evaluation are to learn from experience, to
rovide an objective basis for assessing the results of the
Bank Group’s work, and to provide accountability in the
achievement of its objectives. It also improves Bank Group
work by identifying and disseminating the lessons learned
from experience and by framing recommendations drawn
from evaluation findings.Results and Performance of the World Bank Group
