Amplifying Impacts in the Sahel: A Multi-sector Framework for Tackling FCV in WB Operations 

The Sahel CMU and DIME have partnered to establish a multi-sectoral program focused on “Trial-and-Adopt” Impact Evaluation (IE) to build evidence on key FCV themes that are relevant across the regional operations portfolio and enhance the World Bank’s effectiveness in tackling FCV.

The World Bank Sahel CMU and the Development Impact department have partnered to establish a multi-sectoral program focused on “Trial-and-Adopt” Impact Evaluation (IE) to build evidence on key FCV themes that are relevant across the operations portfolio and enhance the World Bank’s effectiveness in tackling FCV. A cross-cutting theme will be understanding the relationship between development assistance and conflict. The program will be structured around four priority challenges: forced displacement; service delivery continuity and capacity; the social contract and cohesion; and livelihoods and markets.
