Performance of World Bank Projects, By Region
This dashboard compares ratings data of World Bank projects closed in the two most recent three-year periods, across World Bank Regions, and for which IEG received Implementation Completion and Results Reports (ICRs).
The default view shows ratings on Outcome. To change the view to show other IEG ratings, use the Rating filter (drop-down). Use the other drop-downs to filter by other dimensions.

Ratings Data
IEG reviews all Implementation Completion and Results Reports (ICRs) received from completed World Bank lending operations, producing ICR Reviews (ICRRs). In ICRRs, IEG provides its own project ratings based on the same evaluation criteria used by the World Bank project teams. For a subset of projects, IEG performs in-depth field-based evaluations, called Project Performance Assessment Reports (PPARs). PPAR ratings supersede ICRR ratings.
This data contains the following IEG ratings:
Outcome: the extent to which the project's major relevant objectives were achieved, or are expected to be achieved, efficiently. Both the Bank and IEG rate Outcome. Thus, the outcome rating is derived from the prior assessment of the relevance of objectives, efficacy in achieving each objective, and efficiency.
Bank Performance: the extent to which the services provided by the Bank ensured quality at entry of the project and supported effective implementation through appropriate supervision (including ensuring adequate transition arrangements for regular operation of supported activities after loan/credit closing), toward the achievement of development outcomes. Both the Bank and IEG rate Bank Performance. IEG also rates the two constituent elements – Quality at Entry and Quality of Supervision.
Monitoring and Evaluation Quality: the quality of the design and implementation of the monitoring and evaluation arrangements of the project and the extent to which the results are used to improve performance. Both the Bank and IEG rate M&E Quality.
ICR Quality: the quality of the evidence and analysis in the ICR; the extent to which the lessons are based on evidence; the results-orientation of the ICR; and its conciseness, internal consistency, and the consistency with Bank guidelines. Only IEG rates ICR Quality.
