2: Delivery
Focus on delivery. Other Information:
A solutions bank will be more focused on delivery than ever before. During an era of constrained resources and daunting challenges,
this is what both our donors and our clients demand. A number of our clients have increasing financial resources at their
disposal. But all of our clients are challenged by delivery -- the design, execution and demonstration of results. Because
most failures happen at delivery. When a government passes a strong anti-corruption law but little changes in actual practice:
that’s a delivery failure. Or when a country invests heavily in primary education but still can’t get all its children in
school, or ensure that they’re learning: that’s a delivery failure, too. This is the next frontier for the World Bank Group
-- helping to advance a “science of delivery”. Because we know that delivery isn’t easy -- it’s not as simple as just saying
“this works, this doesn’t.” Effective delivery demands context-specific knowledge. It requires constant adjustments, a willingness
to take smart risks, and a relentless focus on the details of implementation. One of the World Bank Group’s key comparative
advantages is that we have partnered with communities and policymakers across nearly all developing countries in every sector;
to become a solutions bank we need to systematically leverage and apply the lessons from these experiences.
