IEG is charged with evaluating the activities of IBRD and IDA (the World Bank), the work of IFC in private sector development, and MIGA's guarantee projects and services. The Director-General of IEG reports directly to the World Bank Group's Board of Directors. The goals of evaluation are to provide an objective assessment of the results of the Bank Group's work and to identify and disseminate lessons learned from experience. http://www.worldbank.org/ieg/rss/feed.xml May 30, 2013 9:12:21 -0400 FeedForAll v1.0 (1.0.2.0) IEG hosted its sixth Evaluation Week on March 18 – 21.

This evaluation assesses the effectiveness of World Bank Group support to countries in sustaining the provision of transport infrastructure and services and distills lessons on the factors contributing to sustained transport. http://ieg.worldbankgroup.org/content/ieg/en/home/reports/transport_eval.html May 30, 2013 9:12:21 -0400 This Biennial Report on Operations Evaluation is an evaluation of the monitoring and evaluation systems of IFC and MIGA.
