Fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS) have become an important
focus of World Bank Group assistance in recent years as recognition
of the linkages between fragility, conflict, violence, and poverty
has grown. Addressing issues of recurring conflict and political
violence and helping build legitimate and accountable state
institutions are central to the Bank Group s poverty reduction
mission. This evaluation assesses the relevance and effectiveness
of World Bank Group country strategies and assistance programs to
FCS. The operationalization of the World Development Report 2011:
Conflict, Security, and Development (2011 WDR) is also assessed, to
see how the framework has been reflected in subsequent analytical
work, country assistance strategies, and the assistance programs.
The evaluation framework was derived from the concepts and
priorities articulated in recent WDRs, policy papers, and progress
reports issued by Bank Group management, to draw lessons from FCS.
The framework is organized around the three major themes emerging
from the 2011 WDR: building state capacity, building capacity of
citizens, and promoting inclusive growth and jobs. The evaluation
focuses on International Development Association (IDA)-only
countries, which are deemed to have certain characteristics such as
very low average income and no access to private finance, making
them eligible for special finance tools and programs. As the
benchmark for measuring results, Bank Group performance is
evaluated in 33 fragile and conflict-affected states against that
of 31 IDA-only countries that have never been on the FCS list. Six
new country case studies; analyses of Bank Group portfolios; human
resources and budget data; secondary analysis of IEG evaluations;
background studies including those on aid flows, gender, private
sector development, and jobs; and surveys of Bank Group staffs and
stakeholders are also included in the evaluation."
