Series: Multilateral Development Banks' Common Performance Assessment System (COMPAS) Report

Description

Over the past few years, managing for results has clearly moved to occupy center stage in the operations of multilateral development banks (MDBs). This has been a welcome development: First, for the billions of people worldwide who are still trapped in poverty, and for whom increased focus on results by MDBs holds the promise of a better future. Second, for the MDBs themselves, who find that focusing on delivering results improves their management capacity and strengthens their relevance in a rapidly globalizing world.

The Common Performance Assessment System (COMPAS) report, an annual publication, was launched in 2005. It aims to report on the individual and collective progress made by the five major MDBs
