Monitoring and Evaluation

Table 5 summarizes the monitoring and evaluation approach that the WBG will adopt for evaluating progress in implementing this Framework. It describes for each pillar, the inputs and activities, the expected outputs and outcomes and how the information will be disclosed. For IFC, the project-level indicators are tracked as relevant through the IFC Development Outcome Tracking System (DOTS). These indicators represent the different forms of

support IFC can provide and would need to be tailored to the specific intervention. Many of these indicators are explicitly gender- disaggregated, such as relating to employment, training and ownership.

This framework will also assist in guiding objectives for new projects, to ensure that they are consistent within the broader strategy. Many indicators are applicable within the context of the respective World Bank and IFC investment or advisory methodology and monitoring and

evaluation (M&E) systems; this M&E framework unifies the strategy, but does not constitute an alignment of indicators across the WBG due to the different nature of possible interventions. This framework recognizes many of these differences and levels of intervention, providing robust capacity for M&E and reporting both at the level of individual projects and at the aggregate strategy level. Annex VIII provides a brief description of the WBG‘s approach to monitoring and evaluation.
