 IEG EVALUATION
The World Bank Group's Response to the Global Economic Crisis: Phase II
The global economic crisis of 2008-2009 led to a sharp reduction of growth worldwide with an increase in millions of poor persons. The World Bank Group responded with an unprecedented expansion of support that included the majority of countries suffering high levels of stress. The bulk of crisis support focused on moderately affected countries. Because of its unprecedented support, largely through traditional rather than crisis specific instruments, the World Bank now has constrained headroom for future crisis response should it become necessary.

NEW EVALUATION
This new IEG report, a review of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the World Bank's engagement with the Global Fund is based on the Five-Year Evaluation of the Global Fund, which was commissioned by the Global Fund and completed in May 2009. The review assesses the independence and quality of that evaluation, validates its major findings, and reviews the extent and nature of the World Bank's engagement with the Global Fund at the global and country levels since the Global Fund was founded.

 IEG RATINGS
IEG independently validates all completion reports that World Bank staff prepares for projects. For a subset of completed projects, IEG performs a more in-depth project evaluation that includes extensive primary research and field work. The corresponding Reviews and Project Performance Assessment Reports codify IEG's assessments using Likert-scale project performance indicators. This Project Performance Ratings database is the collection of more than 8,000 project assessments covering about 6,000 completed projects, since the unit was originally established in 1967. It is the longest-running development project performance data collection of its kind.
