Studies

IEG-IFC’s studies analyze broad themes and trends related to IFC's performance and the lessons of its experience in sectors and countries. Topics are selected for their strategic development relevance and provide hard data for management and the Board to assess IFC’s past performance and help IFC management to develop corporate, sector, and country-level strategies.

IEG-IFC studies are also frequently done in collaboration with the IEG units of the World Bank and, sometimes, also with MIGA, in order to provide the Board with a broad perspective of performance and issues across the World Bank Group.

Health Evaluation
IEG-IFC participate in the IEG evaluation of Health, Nutrition and Population (NHP) by evaluating IFC's operations in health sector. The objectives of the evaluation are to 1) assess relevance, effectiveness and efficacy of IFC strategy and operations in health sector since FY1997 and 2) identify lessons from that experience to improve efficacy of IFC's support in health sector going forward. The primary question is "Has IFC been effective in promoting health sector development?" IEG evaluation focuses on four subjects: IFC sector strategy, implementation of the strategy, results and implications.
