Abstract
At the March 30-31, 2006, meeting of the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD)/Development Assistance Committee (DAC) network on
development evaluation, representatives of the World
Bank's Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) presented
their observations on the growing need to develop consensus
principles and standards for the evaluation of Global and
Regional Partnership Programs (GRPPs), based on their recent
reviews of a sample of such programs and their evaluations.
The meeting was attended not only by members from the
evaluation units of 23 bilateral agencies and development
cooperation ministries, but also by representatives of the
African Development Bank (AfDB), the Asian Development Bank
(AsDB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(EBRD), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the
International Finance Corporation (IFC), the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United Nations Development
Program (UNDP). Participants at the meeting expressed broad
support for the development of such principles and
standards, and requested that IEG play a leading role in
developing them. The present sourcebook of indicative
principles and standards for evaluating GRPPs is the result
of IEG response to this request. The purpose of the
indicative principles and standards contained in this
sourcebook is to improve the independence and quality of
program-level evaluations of GRPPs in order to enhance the
relevance and effectiveness of the programs.
