Institutions shape how countries foster poverty reduction, support sustainable growth, and respond during crises (OECD 2008; Otoo, Agapitova, and Behrens 2009; World Bank 2005a, 2005b, 2017b, 2018b, 2018c, 2022a). However, the World Bank has no overarching framework to guide capacity development; the most-recent cross-sectoral publications are almost 15 years old, and the latest major evaluation—which focused on Africa—is close to 20 years old (Otoo, Agapitova, and Behrens 2009; World Bank 2005b). To help navigate institutional capacity development, this Evaluation Insight Note (EIN) answers the question, How can the World Bank help address institutional capacity development needs in Sub-Saharan Africa based on the body of work of the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) from 2008 to 2022?
