3: Measurable Results
Insist upon measurable results to ensure that development assistance is actually making a difference in the lives of the world’s
poor
Other Information:
When it comes to economic development, what really matters is that more children are getting a better education, more people
have access to health care and clean water, or more workers can find jobs to make a better future for their families. We have
a moral obligation to measure the success of our development assistance by whether it is delivering results. For this reason,
we will continue to demand that our own development assistance as well as assistance from the multilateral development banks
has measurable goals and concrete benchmarks for achieving those goals. Thanks to U.S. leadership, the recent IDA replenishment
agreement will establish a monitoring and evaluation system that measures recipient countries’ progress. For the first time,
donors can link a portion of their contributions to IDA to the achievement of actual development results, and part of the
U.S. contribution is linked in this way.We will strive to make sure that the World Bank and other multilateral development
banks build on this progress so that a focus on results is an integral part of everything that these institutions do.
