Summary

This report completes the second phase of the independent evaluation by the Operations Evaluation Department of the World Bank's involvement in global programmes. It is based on case studies of 26 Bank-supported programmes that accounted for 90 per cent of the Bank's global programme expenditure in 2002. The report seeks to draw cross-cutting lessons about the design, implementation and evaluation of global programmes, and to identify sector-specific issues.
