Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development: An Evaluation of the World Bank Group's Experience (Operations Evaluation Studies) Book

How effectively has the World Bank Group assisted its clients in enhancing the contribution of the extractive industries to sustainable development? This evaluation finds that with its global mandate and experience, comprehensive country development focus, and overarching mission to fight poverty, the World Bank Group is well positioned to help countries overcome the policy, institutional, and technical challenges that prevent them from transforming resource endowments into sustainable benefits. Furthermore, the World Bank Group¡¦s achievements are many.

The report identifies three main areas for improvement ¡V formulating an integrated strategy, strengthening implementation and engagement of stakeholders.Read More
