World Bank Performance Review 2009

The Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) just came out with the 2009 report for World Bank project performance. Here's some info on the IEG from the introduction of the report:

"The Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) is an independent, three-part unit within the World Bank Group. IEG-World Bank is charged with evaluating the activities of the IBRD (The World Bank) and IDA, IEG-IFC focuses on assessment of IFC’s work toward private sector development, and IEG-MIGA evaluates the contributions of MIGA
guarantee projects and services. IEG reports directly to the Bank’s Board of Directors through the Director-General, Evaluation."
