What Have We Learned?

Blogs

IEG’s blogs provide a space for evaluators and experts to dive more deeply into the issues our evaluations cover. IEG published 14 blogs in FY25. Topics included strategic priorities for evaluation, procurement, integrating AI into evaluation, and how the World Bank learns in lending.

Podcasts

Each episode of What Have We Learned? brings together evaluators, thought leaders, and practitioners to discuss development effectiveness issues covered in IEG’s work. In its fourth season, episodes discussed improving learning outcomes in basic education, creating more and better jobs in low-income countries, measuring and delivering results for women and girls, and implementing the blue economy approach.

30-Minute Talks

The Vice Presidential Unit award–winning What Have We Learned: 30-Minute Talks program efficiently shares evaluative insights with Bank Group operational staff. Each live, virtual session focuses on one topic to provide actionable insights in an accessible format. In FY25, more than 700 Bank Group participants engaged in eight events delivered by 14 speakers from five IEG units.
