Agenda
- Background
The World Bank's Operations Evaluation Department
is pleased to announce the Fourth Conference on Evaluation and Development
- The Partnership Dimension. The Conference will be held on July
23-24, 2001, in Washington, D.C.
The
idea of partnership in development is not new. Three decades ago,
Lester Pearson in his Partners in Development pointed to the need
for partnerships between donors and recipients of development assistance.
Since then, the concept of partnership has come increasingly into
use to describe a wide range of links across the development community:
between development institutions, between donors and recipients,
and between the public, private and civil sectors. Given the extensive
experience in recent years with the establishment and implementation
of partnerships, and their growing role for defining linkages and
processes in the development assistance system at the global, national
and local levels, the time has come to come together and discuss
the extent to which the concept has met expectations, identify factors
associated with success and failure, and derive lessons and implications
for the future.
The
expected results of the Conference are:
- Clarification of the concept of partnership in a development
context
- Dissemination of approaches to evaluate partnerships
- Identification of lessons learned on partnerships for development,
leading to more effective partnerships for poverty alleviation
and other development goals
- Improved
utilization of evaluation findings through the publication of
conference proceedings
- Strengthening
of evaluation capacity through networking among development evaluators
