Chronology of the CDF Evaluation

January 1999
World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn introduces the Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF).

Late 1999
The Operations Evaluation Department (OED) is asked by the Executive Board of the World Bank to conduct an evaluation of the implementation of the CDF. The Bank's Development Research Group (DECRG) also proposes conducting research on the CDF. The two units agree to participate in the CDF Evaluation as a joint effort.

October 2000
The CDF Evaluation is officially launched at a CDF Research Evaluation Workshop held on October 19 & 20, 2000, that brought together about fifty persons from CDF pilot countries, donors and other development agencies, NGOs, and academic institutions.
