This is the third External Review of the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) commissioned by the World Bank Group (WBG) Board of Executive Directors (Board) and overseen by the Committee on Development Effectiveness (CODE).
The World Bank Board, via the Committee On Development Effectiveness, oversees the adequacy, efficiency, and robustness of the Bank’s evaluation system. To that end, the Board periodically commissions independent assessments of IEG that focus on issues core to the effective performance of the evaluation function.
The World Bank Group’s strategy is premised on two over-arching goals - to push extreme poverty to no more 3 percent by 2030, and to promote shared prosperity and greater equity in the developing world.
