This week, IEG released its annual report for 2016 looking back at our activities for the period July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. Our annual report is an opportunity to take stock of what we have produced and what difference that has made.
The report highlights IEG's knowledge sharing and illustrates how it is helping the World Bank Group meet its twin goals.
The year 2015 is pivotal in international development. As the era of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) concludes, work continues to take forward the unfinished MDG agenda and to define and meet the more ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In preparation for the new challenges, the World Bank Group is changing. A new strategy in 2013 set two ambitious goals: ending extreme poverty by 2030 and boosting shared prosperity for the bottom 40 percent in a sustainable manner.
The Results and Performance of the World Bank Group (RAP) is IEG’s annual flagship report, which synthesizes evidence and findings of recent evaluations about the effectiveness of World Bank Group work in addressing current and emerging development challenges.
