Synopsis

The World Bank's Independent Evaluation Group examines the World Bank's experience in disaster prevention and response over the past 20 years and finds that the scale of Bank operations has grown over the period. The report finds that the Bank has demonstrated considerable flexibility in its approach, but actions have tended to be more reactive than proactive, with disaster response taking more of the focus that preventative measures.
