Global programs : linking global concerns with country needs
Consulting Engineering Services Ltd., New Delhi | India International Infrastructure Engineers Ltd. | Scott Wilson | Project Co-ordinatingConsultancy Services (PCC)
Global programs have become an important line of business that complements the Bank's country assistance activities. They respond to new and emerging challenges such as environmental degradation, the spread of communicable diseases, financial contagion, international insecurity, and the digital divide. The initial "let a thousand flowers bloom" approach has fostered innovation. Recently, Bank management has established a clearer, more transparent policy and institutional framework for managing global programs. In particular, the DGF (Development Grant Facility) has made substantial improvements in information, monitoring, and evaluation systems. Yet, global programs are still under-managed. To increase development effectiveness, the Bank needs to refine and improve the application of quality criteria for selectivity and risk management, clarify management responsibilities and accountabilities, and strengthen the linkages between its global and country programs.
