In preparing this chapter, we briefly reviewed data on IEG-validated ratings for DPF operations, focusing on the ratings for overall outcome and World Bank performance. Over the period 2005–18, just over three-quarters of the World Bank’s DPF operations were rated Moderately Satisfactory or higher (MS+) for overall outcome.6
The MS+ rating is used to track the operational performance of World Bank projects and DPF operations in the World Bank Group’s Corporate Scorecard.7
Although this ratio has been relatively stable over the period, there has been a decline in operations rated satisfactory, largely offset by an increase in operations rated moderately satisfactory (Figure 6.4).

  The rating for overall outcome is derived from subratings for the relevance of objectives and efficacy (i.e., the achievement of objectives).
