Evaluation of the Bank's Support for Gender and Diversity

The objective of the evaluation is to assess how well and to what extent the IDB’s activities to date have promoted gender equality, women’s empowerment, and development with identity. The evaluation focuses on three key aspects: (i) the relevance of the Bank’s approach (its policy framework and the implementation of that framework) to promoting gender equality, women’s empowerment, and development with identity; (ii) the extent of its activities to support gender and diversity; and (iii) the institutional factors that influence these activities. Findings seek to identify factors that affect the success of various types of operations in different contexts, and to provide recommendations on how the Bank can enhance its support for gender and diversity.

Documento de enfoque: Estudio de supervisión: Evaluación del gasto administrativo en el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo

El Directorio Ejecutivo del BID esta interesado en explorar maneras de que el Banco continue reduciendo los costos e incrementando la eficiencia. Como parte del programa de trabajo de OVE y la discusion presupuestaria para 2016-2017, el Directorio solicito que OVE incluya en su programa para 2016 una revision del gasto administrativo del Banco, con el objetivo de ayudar al Directorio y la Administracion a identificar oportunidades de reduccion de costos. Este proceso no pretende ser una evaluacion en si, sino una actividad que se corresponde en terminos mas generales con el mandato de supervision de OVE. El objetivo de OVE es arrojar luz sobre los patrones y las tendencias de gasto para ayudar al Directorio y la Administracion a desempenar sus funciones de toma de decisiones y gobernanza.

Evaluación del Programa de País: Argentina (2009-2015)

As part of its 2015-2016 annual work plan, the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) prepared the Banks country program evaluation (CPE) with Argentina for the 2009-2015 period. This CPE is OVEs third independent evaluation of the IDBs country program with Argentina. The first (document RE-299) covered the 1990-2002 period and focused on analyzing Bank support prior to and during the 2001-2002 crisis. The second OVE evaluation (document RE-361) covered support during the Argentine economys strong recovery in the post-crisis period (2003-2008). The 2009-2015 CPE evaluates the Banks program with the country over the period subsequent to the 2009 international crisis, which was guided by the 2012-2015 strategy (document GN-2687) and updates to the 2004-2008 strategy (document GN-2328) over the 2009-2011 period. This CPE seeks to analyze the Banks relationship with the country, taking an independent view and assessing, in particular, the programs relevance and effectiveness, including both financial and nonfinancial products offered by the Bank during the period under analysis. This evaluation is intended as an input for the new country strategy document that the Bank is preparing.
