This evaluation reviews the establishment and implementation of 28 bilateral and thematic trust funds monitored and partly administered by the Bank’s Partnerships and Cooperation Unit (ORRU). The evaluation assesses the procedural effectiveness of the implementation of the Trust Funds: it attempts to set forth the scope and scale of the procedural issues; distinguish at what stage in the process problems are most critical; and identify the key factors behind the problems and the implications for policy, process, organizational structure and human resource reforms
This report reviews the performance of the Bank in respect of its private sector operations, by assessing its effectiveness in growing and managing the portfolio of investments, and by evaluating the development contribution of the projects it has supported. It is based on the Bank’s portfolio of 137 investments that were approved by the Board between 2006 and 2011, and which account for a total approved investment volume of UA 3.9 billion, of which UA 3.5 billion is committed. Additionally, the review makes reference to 38 TA interventions approved over the same period, though these were not evaluated individually.
The evaluation combines project focus in one subsector (roads) with the analysis of enabling environmental policies and institutional support at the Bank and in regional member countries.
The evaluation is based on a Policy and Strategy Review, a Portfolio Review including approvals analysis, implementation performance and results analyses from existing PCRs, a Quality-at-Entry review, three case studies of infrastructure MOs, and three Project Performance Evaluation Reviews (PPERs).
