Annual review of development effectiveness 2006: Getting results
A results-based approach to development tracks the contributions to progress in reducing poverty, going beyond questions concerning the delivery of development assistance. Effective and sustained reductions in poverty, the evidence shows, result from a combination of sustained economic growth and policies and investments that affect income distribution and the delivery of services to the poor. Achieving this combination of outcomes requires capable public institutions that are accountable to their stakeholders for the results they achieve. This Annual Review of Development Effectiveness (ARDE) brings together evaluative evidence from the recent works of the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank to address three questions surrounding this results chain in countries, with a particular focus on the Bank's role in the chain: . How effectively has economic growth translated into poverty reduction in Bank-assisted. . Effective programmes have a twofold focus they emphasize both the ingredients of growth and the measures that help the poor share in the growth process. They build on a realistic and well-informed assessment of the political commitment and capacity of the recipient to deliver results, and they emphasize coalition and capacity building to help attain results.
