Abstract
The independent evaluation of
International Finance Corporation's (IFC's)
development results 2009 assesses the development outcomes
and additionality (unique role and contribution) of IFC
interventions. It analyzes factors driving results, and
reviews performance patterns on a thematic topic. This
year's thematic is IFC's Advisory Services (AS),
knowledge services that IFC provides to either private
companies or governments in support of private sector
development. To enhance development impact, the report
recommends that IFC: i) effectively manage the tension
between protecting the portfolio and responding to
opportunities during crisis; ii) set out an overall strategy
for IFC advisory services, addressing the need for a clear
vision and business framework and more closely linked with
IFC's global corporate strategy; iii) pursue more
programmatic AS interventions; iv) improve execution of the
AS pricing policy; and v) strengthen AS performance
measurement and internal knowledge management.
