The impact of WBI activities FY02-03 on participants from Kenya : A baseline assessment

Abstract

The primary goal of the World Bank Institute (WBI) is to provide knowledge services to build institutional capacity in client countries. In FY03, WBI launched a new approach to providing services that are country-focused, multi-year programs linked to Bank country assistance strategies and the client's own poverty reduction goals. WBI in coordination with Regional Vice Presidencies identified a group of 30 countries in which to concentrate this new approach initially, starting in FY04. In support of the country-focused approach, WBI's Evaluation Group (IEG) concurrently initiated a series of evaluations to establish country-specific results to serve as baselines in the priority countries. This report focuses on WBI activities implemented in Kenya in FY02 and FY03. The evaluation addresses the following three main questions. What is the relevance of WBI learning activities to Kenya and Kenyan participants? What are the effectiveness and impact of WBI learning activities? Do WBI activities have a sustained presence and comparative advantage in Kenya?
