IEG mission
statement: Enhancing development effectiveness through
excellence and independence in evaluation
IEG at-a-glance
IEG is an independent unit within the World Bank. It reports directly
to the Bank's Board of Executive Directors. The goals of IEG 's
evaluations are to draw lessons from Bank experience, and to provide
an objective basis for assessing the results of the Bank's work. IEG improves Bank work by identifying and disseminating the lessons
learned from experience and by framing recommendations drawn from
its evaluation findings.

Project Evaluation Summaries and Assessment Reports
IEG evaluates completed projects through Project Performance
Assessment Reports (PPARs), which rate projects primarily in terms
of their outcome, sustainability and institutional development
impact. Project Performance Assessment Reports (PPARs), are carried
out from one to seven years after Bank funds have been fully disbursed
to projects and are the main project-level evaluations undertaken
by IEG .

Approach
Country
Assistance Evaluations (CAEs)
Country Assistance Evaluations examine Bank performance in
a particular country, usually over the past four to five years,
and report on its conformity with the relevant Bank Country Assistance
Strategy (CAS) and on the overall effectiveness of the specific
CAS.

in a lending sector (such as agriculture, transport, and the like)
or thematic area (poverty, gender, and so forth) over five to
ten years and report on their conformity to Bank policy and good
practice, as well as on the development effectiveness of the Bank's
activities.
