Independent Evaluation Group2012-06-052012-06-052006978-0-8213-6906-7https://hdl.handle.net/10986/7148This Annual Review of Development Effectiveness (ARDE) brings together evaluative evidence from the recent work of the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank to address three questions surrounding this results chain in countries, with a particular focus on the Bank's role in the chain: (a) how effectively has economic growth translated into poverty reduction in Bank-assisted countries, and what factors have affected these results? (b) what factors have led to high-quality results in areas that deliver services to the poor? (c) what measures help raise the accountability of public institutions responsible for delivering and sustaining results? The report identifies features that characterize the country experiences and assistance programs that have delivered results: (1) effective programs have a twofold focus: they emphasize both the ingredients of growth and the measures that help the poor share in the growth process; (2) they build on a realistic and well-informed assessment of the political commitment and capacity of the recipient to deliver results, and they emphasize coalition and capacity building to help attain results; (3) they combine sustained engagement with clear intermediate milestones; and (4) they emphasize improved transparency and local control of public institutions, factors that spur these institutions to deliver results.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYADMINISTRATIVE REFORMSAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTANNUAL GROWTHANTICORRUPTIONAVERAGE GROWTHAVERAGE GROWTH RATEBANKING SECTORBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCAPACITY BUILDINGCASCASH TRANSFERSCHILD MORTALITYCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETYCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCONFLICTCORRUPTIONCOUNTRY ASSISTANCE STRATEGIESDATA COLLECTIONDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT REPORTDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHDISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC POLICYEMPLOYMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL SECTORFOOD POLICYGENDER DIMENSIONSGLOBAL POVERTYGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE ENVIRONMENTGOVERNANCE INDICATORSGOVERNANCE ISSUESGOVERNANCE QUALITYGOVERNMENT INTERVENTIONGROWTHGROWTH EFFECTGROWTH PATHGROWTH PERFORMANCEGROWTH PROCESSGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SERVICESHEAVILY INDEBTED POOR COUNTRIESHIGH GROWTHHIPCHUMAN CAPACITYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL FORMATIONICRIMPACT ON POVERTYIMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION REPORTIMPROVING GOVERNANCEINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GROUPSINCOME GROWTHINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME POVERTYINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENTINSTITUTIONAL QUALITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTLAWSLEARNINGLEGISLATIONLOCAL COUNCILSLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL INSTITUTIONSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMACROECONOMIC STABILITYNGONUTRITIONPEER REVIEWPER CAPITA INCOMEPMUPOLICIESPOLICY REFORMSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLITICAL COMMITMENTPOLITICAL CONDITIONSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL SUPPORTPOORPOOR COUNTRIESPOPULOUS COUNTRIESPOVERTY CHANGESPOVERTY DATAPOVERTY EFFECTSPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY OUTCOMESPOVERTY POVERTYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPOVERTY-REDUCING GROWTHPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE SECTOR GROWTHPRO-GROWTH POLICIESPRO-POORPRO-POOR GROWTHPRODUCTIVITYPROJECT MONITORINGPROJECT OBJECTIVESPRUDENTIAL REGULATIONSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SECTOR REFORMPUBLIC SECTOR REFORM PROGRAMSPUBLIC SERVICEPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYREDUCED POVERTYREDUCING POVERTYREFORM PROGRAMRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONRURAL LINKAGESRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY REDUCTIONRURAL PROJECTSRURAL STRATEGYSANITATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLINGSECTOR REFORMSSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTSSOCIAL IMPACTSSOCIAL INCLUSIONSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOUTH ASIANSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUBSIDIARYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSITION ECONOMIESTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTURBAN AREASURBAN DEVELOPMENTWATER SUPPLYWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6906-7
