Evaluation Team

This report was prepared by staff of OPEV under the guidance of the Acting Director, Mr. D. A. Barnett. The report benefited from useful comments by Mr. Francois Arsenault of CODE.

Objective

This Action Plan is organized around three major strategic objectives that correspond to three main pillars of actions to address existing shortcomings on evaluation feedback, dissemination and knowledge management, and evaluation capacity building. These are:    

1. To better meet the internal needs of the Bank for more accessible, relevant, timely, and usable evaluation findings, lessons, and recommendations, and to increase their relevance and utilization in operations (Pillar 1: ‘Bank Internal Feedback’)  

 2. To fully exploit advanced information technology and develop new evaluation products in order to enhance knowledge-sharing and lessons-learning for various evaluation user groups within the Bank and in RMCs (Pillar 2: ‘General Dissemination’).  

 3. To improve the quality of evaluations, M&E, and Results Based Management in RMCs and at the Bank through targeted capacity building and partnerships (Pillar 3: ‘Capacity Building and Partnerships’).
