  • PSIAs have not always explicitly stated their operational objectives (i.e., informing country policies, informing Bank operations, and/or contributing to country capacity)
  • PSIAs have had limited ownership by Bank staff and managers and have often not been effectively integrated into country assistance programs
  • Quality assurance and M&E of the overall effectiveness of PSIAs have been weak
The evaluation recommends that the World Bank:

  • Clarify the operational objectives of each PSIA and tailor the approach and timeline to those objectives
  • Improve integration of the PSIA into the Bank?s country assistance program by requiring that all earmarked funding for PSIAs be matched by a substantial contribution from the country unit budgets
  • Strengthen PSIA effectiveness through enhanced quality assurance
