Extreme poverty remains widespread in most low-income countries while many middle-income countries also continue to have substantial levels with many people there who have escaped extreme poverty remaining poor and vulnerable. Nor has there been robust progress in sharing prosperity: in many developing countries rapid growth has been accompanied by rising inequality, often with a geographic and ethnic dimension as progress in isolated areas has lagged behind. This appendix describes select elements of the evaluation systems in the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) that are the basis for this report. They illustrate commonalities as well as differences in evaluation practices across the institutions. The World Bank, IFC, and MIGA differ in the instruments and approaches they use to achieve development results. Each institution has an evaluation system tailored to its needs. In each organization, the evaluation system comprises different components, self-evaluation, independent evaluation, and validation of self-evaluation.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO FINANCEACCOUNTABILITYADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITYADVANCED ECONOMIESADVERSE CONSEQUENCESADVERSE IMPACTADVISORY SERVICEADVISORY SERVICESAGRICULTUREBALANCE SHEETBANK LENDINGBANK LOANBANK MANAGEMENTBANK MONITORINGBANK PORTFOLIOBANKSBENCHMARKBENCHMARKSBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBLEND COUNTRIESBORROWERBORROWINGBUDGETINGBUSINESS ADVISORYBUSINESS VOLUMESCAPACITY CONSTRAINTSCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETITIVENESSCONSOLIDATIONCORRUPTIONCOST OF CAPITALCOUNTRY CREDITCOUNTRY RISKCREDIT RATINGCREDIT RISKDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISBURSEMENTDISBURSEMENTSDIVERSIFICATIONDRIVERSECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC CRISESECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC JUSTIFICATIONECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESEMERGING MARKETEMERGING MARKETSEMPLOYMENTENROLLMENTENTREPRENEURSHIPENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENTEXOGENOUS VARIABLESEXPENDITUREEXTREME POVERTYFARMERSFINANCESFINANCIAL CAPACITYFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIESFINANCIAL INTERMEDIARYFINANCIAL MARKETFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL OBLIGATIONSFINANCIAL POLICIESFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL STRUCTUREFINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITYFRAUDGDPGENDERGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL TRADEGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT GROWTHGROUP LENDINGGUARANTEE AGENCYHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMEINCOME GROWTHINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME LEVELINCOME LEVELSINEQUALITYINFANT MORTALITYINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINNOVATIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL INVESTORINSTITUTIONAL REFORMINSTRUMENTINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT PROJECTSISSUANCEJOB CREATIONLAND REFORMLENDING POLICIESLONG-TERM FINANCELONG-TERM INVESTMENTSMARKET BENCHMARKSMARKET CONDITIONSMARKET TRADEMORTALITYNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL RESOURCE EXPLOITATIONNATURAL RESOURCESNUTRITIONOPERATIONAL RISKSPARTNER BANKSPEER REVIEWPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL RISKPOLITICAL STABILITYPOLITICAL UNCERTAINTIESPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIO MANAGEMENTPORTFOLIO PERFORMANCEPORTFOLIO QUALITYPORTFOLIOSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYREAL GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTREAL SECTORREGRESSION ANALYSISRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONRISK AVERSIONRISK FACTORSRISK MANAGEMENTRISK MANAGEMENT TOOLSRISK MARKETSRISK MITIGATIONSAFETYSAFETY NETSAFETY NETSSHAREHOLDERSHORT-TERM FINANCESHORT-TERM FINANCESSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSUBSIDIARYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL SUPPORTTRADE FINANCETRANSPORTTRUST FUNDTRUST FUNDSURBAN AREASWARRANTSWOMEN ENTREPRENEURS10.1596/20421
