Community-Driven Development -- A Study Methodology


Project Performance Assessment Reports

As part of its mandate, IEG evaluates the development effectiveness of a share of completed World Bank projects in a product called the Project Performance Assessment Report (PPAR). Based on a thorough review of project documents, interviews with relevant actors, and additional data collected during field visits, IEG assesses the development effectiveness of each project. The main rating is on the project's outcome, which is the extent to which the project's major relevant objectives were achieved, or are expected to be achieved, efficiently. IEG also rates each project on sustainability, institutional development impact, Bank and Borrower performance.

Several project assessments were used as building blocks for the CDD evaluation. A few of them are included below.

1. Project Performance Assessment of the Uttar Pradesh Sodic Land Reclamation Project
2. Project Performance Assessment of the Benin Borgou Pilot Project
3. Project Performance Assessment of the Egypt Matrouh Resource Management Project
4. Project Performance Assessment for the Turkey Eastern Anatolia Watershed Rehabilitation Project
