  1. Good Practice Guidelines and Examples for Evaluating Global and Regional Partnership Programs (GRPPs) Mark Sundberg, Chair Manager, IEG – World Bank November 13, 2009 http://www.globalevaluations.org

  2. Objectives of the Session • To present good practice guidelines and examples for evaluating Global and Regional Partnership Programs (GRPPs), drawn from a systematic review of 60 recent evaluations • The first of two multi-paper sessions on this topic: • Today’s session on “substance” – for evaluators who are conducting such evaluations • Tomorrow’s session on “process” – for board members and program management who are planning, designing, and overseeing such evaluations

  3. GRPPs Are Growing Rapidly in Number and Size • GRPPs have become increasingly important instruments of organized collective action in a globalizing world, particularly in environment, health, trade and finance • For example, the World Bank Group is involved in about 125 global programs and 45 regional programs, which together spent around $6.0 billion in fiscal year 2009 • Bilateral donors are the principal financiers, followed by foundations (Gates, Rockefeller, Ford, etc.) • International organizations – such as FAO, UNICEF and WHO – are contributing legitimacy and expertise

  4. What are GRPPs? • Programmatic partnerships in which: • The partners contribute and pool resources (financial, technical, staff, reputational, etc.) toward achieving agreed objectives over time • The activities of the program are global, regional, or multi-country (not single country) in scope • The partners establish a new organization with a governance structure and management unit to deliver these activities. • The majority of GRPPs are housed in existing (host) organizations, such as the World Bank

  5. IEG’s Work on Developing Consensus Standards for Evaluating GRPPs • Collaboration with OECD/DAC Evaluation Network • GRPP Evaluation Sourcebook, published 2007 • Drew on existing evaluation principles and standards • Adapted standards to special characteristics of GRPPs • Reviewed at a Consultative Stakeholder Workshop in Sept 2006 • GRPP Evaluation Guidebook • Builds on the Sourcebook • Provides good-practice guidelines and examples • Draws from a systematic review of 60 GRPP evaluations • Supported by a Technical Advisory Panel • First draft for external review, by end December 2009

  6. Other IEG Work on GRPPs • Global program reviews (GPRs) • Reviews of programs based on an existing evaluation • Parallel to IEG’s review process for investment projects and country programs • 12 completed in FY07, FY08 and FY09; 6 more ongoing in FY10 • Providing advice on evaluation planning, including commenting on draft TORs for GRPP evaluations
