Summary of World Bank's Procurement Reform Evaluation

Background and Context

The World Bank approved a procurement reform in 2015 to enhance development effectiveness and leadership in procurement for development. The reform introduced seven core principles: value for money, efficiency, economy, integrity, fairness, transparency, and fit for purpose. It aimed to make procurement less a barrier in low-institutional-capacity countries and included new areas like the Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD) and the Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) system.

Strategic Positioning and Evaluation Purpose

The evaluation assesses how the 2016 reform supported operational procurement outcomes and capacity building in client countries. It uses a results logic framework, focusing on intermediate outcomes due to the newness of projects. The core principles are central to measuring success, with value for money as the primary indicator.

Objectives and Scope

Objective: Review the results and challenges of the World Bank's procurement since the 2016 reforms, informing future actions.
Scope: Covers IPF operations using the new framework and capacity-building support from July 2016. Evaluation questions include:
- How well did the new framework support operational successes in applying procurement principles?
- How did capacity building evolve post-reform?
Parameters: Portfolio includes IDA and IBRD projects; time coverage starts from July 2016; country focus includes fragile and conflict-affected situations.

Evaluation Design

Approaches: Multilevel analysis, theory-based design, and mixed methods.
Components:
- IPF Operational Procurement Portfolio Analysis: Uses STEP data, case studies, and econometric modeling to assess principles.
- Procurement Capacity Building Analysis: Reviews support through hands-on assistance and advisory services.
- Country Situation Analysis: Constructs a heat map to assess institutional capacities.
- Case Analysis: Examines ~60 projects for procurement success factors.
- Perception Analysis: Surveys staff on system effectiveness.
Limitations: Focus on active projects limits final outcome assessment; data quality varies.

Quality Assurance

Evaluation involves peer reviewers (Charles Kenny, Jeff Taylor, Mihly Fazekas, Sope Williams-Elegbe) and expert advisers (Frannie Lautier, Kirsten Ejlskov Jensen). It complements internal reviews and uses workshops for feedback.

Expected Outputs and Resources

Outputs: A ~20,000-word report by FY23–24, including appendixes.
Resources: US$785,000 budget; core team includes Jenny Gold, Elisabeth Goller, and others.
Timeline: Evaluation ongoing, with feedback integration throughout.
