World Bank for Results 2011

This first World Bank for Results report provides the Bank's shareholders, partners, and external stakeholders with an integrated view of results and performance in recent years. It serves as a companion to the World Bank Corporate Scorecard. Aggregating results that countries have achieved with Bank support against the backdrop of global development results, the report also assesses operational and organizational performance at the corporate level. This report is consistent with the Corporate Scorecard's four-tier structure for reporting on results and performance (Figure 2). It describes how global development progress is being measured relative to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other global development indicators (Tier I); highlights development results achieved with Bank support (Tier II); provides data on the effectiveness of Bank operations and services (Tier III); and assesses whether the Bank is functioning and adapting successfully to support countries in achieving results (Tier IV).
