The Event will showcase two recently closed WB-financed operations: The Bolivia Rural Alliances II Project and the India National Dairy Support Project. The Bank’s Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) rated both operations Highly Satisfactory in overall outcome, in large part due to a strong evidence from monitoring and evaluation systems. The Event will present project design, implementation, outcomes and lessons learned from each operation.
