Why evaluate and who cares?
• Most other MDBs commit $1 – 6 billion/year • Bilateral ODA : $200 million (Greece, Luxembourg, • New Zealand, Portugal) - $25 billion/year (USA)
Bilateral agencies have administrative budgets of $11 million (Luxembourg) to > $700 million (Japan)
• Why? Two reasons:
• To learn from experience • To provide accountability
• Who uses (or should use) evaluations:
• Boards of Directors (MDBs) and Ministers and
Directorers for policies and strategies; • ODA staff for program and project designs, ways of
doing business;
• Client countries, external partners, and the public
portfolio : ~ 1,400 in > 120 countries Bank also provides grants and other non-lending
services (diagnostic work) Bank has total administrative budget of $2 billion
for policies, aligning programs, research
