Evaluation Capacity Development (ECD) is part of the Operations and Evaluations Department (OED) of the World Bank. It encompasses a number of types of action to build and strengthen monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems in borrowing countries, and has particular focus on the national and sectoral levels.
ECD focuses on measuring the performance of governments (including at the ministry, programme and project levels) and also supports M&E capacity-building for civil society, as contributors to M&E information, as users of it, and in some cases as producers of it.
The ECD website provides access to all of their publications.
