As a central element of its renewal strategy, the World Bank Institute (WBI) has committed itself to improving the definition and measurement of the results of its capacity development programs to improve the practice of capacity development and the identification of lessons learned. WBI formed the Capacity Development and Results team (WBICR) to carry out this initiative.
To help establish WBI as a global leader in the thinking and practice of results-oriented capacity development through:
The Capacity Development Results Framework (CDRF) is WBI’s conceptual and results-oriented resource that provides a systematic and rigorous approach to capacity development program design and measurement (see diagram). WBI will use the CDRF to guide, assess and report the learning outcomes and institutional and policy-related changes contributed by WBI’s capacity development programs. The CDRF can be adapted by development partners for use in their own capacity development programs and customized for local contexts.
