Members praise the evaluation’s outcome orientation for improving development impact while doing no harm, and stress its relevance to a green, resilient, inclusive COVID recovery. Discussions highlight measurable results for nature and climate work, improved metrics and knowledge sharing, and systematic attention to the nature–vulnerability link in SCDs and CPFs for stronger poverty and SDG outcomes.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nThe Natural Resource Degradation and Vulnerability Nexus  \nAn Evaluation of the World Bank’s Support for Sustainable and  \nInclusive Natural Resource Management (2009-19)  \nReport to the Board from the  \nCommittee on Development Effectiveness∗  \nMeeting of March 22, 2021  \nThe Committee on Development Effectiveness met to consider the report entitled The Natural Resource Degradation and Vulnerability Nexus. An Evaluation of the World Bank’s Supportfor Sustainable and Inclusive Natural Resource Management (2009-19) (CODE2021-0015) and Draft World Bank Management Response (CODE2021-0018) .  \nThe Committee commended IEG for the timely and relevant evaluation, noting that its outcome focus was helpful to orient the WBG approach towards achieving greater development impact, doing no harm and benefiting the most vulnerable populations. Members noted the evaluation’s relevance to inform discussions on how to achieve a green, resilient, and inclusive COVID recovery and the Bank’s efforts to achieve climate adaptation goals. They also noted the relevance of the findings to inform the upcoming CODE discussions on outcome orientation, and highlighted the importance of having measurable results to assess the development outcomes of the Bank’s activity on nature and climate change, and to maximize WB’s outcome-oriented business model.  \nThe Committee welcomed Management’s response and broad agreement with the Report’s recommendations and was pleased to learn that the World Bank has been relevant in adequately diagnosing and addressing forest, soil and land degradation issues and improving natural resource management practices. Members acknowledged that COVID-19 was compounding the negative impacts that natural resource degradation was already having on the lives of vulnerable populations and underscored the key role that the WB can play in addressing the link between natural resource degradation and vulnerability (NRDV) to enable an inclusive COVID recovery and in assisting its client countries in their efforts to reduce poverty, boost shared prosperity, and achieve the SDGs. Several members welcomed Management’s acknowledgement of the need to assess and measure attributable outcomes even if it is not easy to do so They encouraged Management to improve knowledge sharing, develop metrics and enhance coordination across the relevant Global Practices (GPs) to optimize development effectiveness.  \nMembers appreciated Management’s recognition that there was room for improvement and also its commitment to better address NRDV issues, central for enabling the Bank to meet its ambitious goal to deliver, on average 35% of operations, with climate co-benefits for FY21-FY25 . They highlighted the importance of paying due attention to the NRDV link in Systematic Country Diagnostics (SCDs) and Country Partnership Frameworks (CPFs), particularly where these issues were key for achieving poverty reduction and shared prosperity. Management explained that the Bank helps its clients define and prioritize country-level objectives and clarified that an SCD is not exhaustive review of the development issues that a country faces at the time the SCD is being prepared, but an assessment of the key development bottlenecks being faced by the country at that time. Management therefore noted that not all SCDs and CPFs present assessments ofthe drivers and consequences of natural resource degradation and related vulnerability. IEG clarified that the evaluation focused only on countries (and the associated SCDs and CPFs) that have relatively high resource degradation and high resource dependence among the poor. Members stressed that there was room to systematically assess the link between natural degradation and vulnerable populations in project design.  \n∗ This report is not an approved record.","cbCaic1OyJmbf5wR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic1OyJmbf5wR","pdf",171561,1,"English","en",105,"# Overview of the Committee Review\n## Outcome focus and development impact\n## Relevance to COVID recovery and climate adaptation\n# Management Response and Recommendations\n## Agreement with recommendations\n## Forest, soil and land degradation support\n# Improving Measurement and Integration into Country Planning\n## Metrics, knowledge sharing and coordination\n## Role of SCDs and CPFs\n## Focus on high-degradation, high-dependence countries","[{\"question\":\"What evaluation did the Committee consider, and what period did it cover?\",\"answer\":\"The Committee considered an evaluation titled The Natural Resource Degradation and Vulnerability Nexus, assessing the World Bank’s support for sustainable and inclusive natural resource management for 2009–19.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did members consider the evaluation’s outcome focus important?\",\"answer\":\"Members said the outcome focus helps orient the World Bank Group toward greater development impact, avoiding harm, and benefiting the most vulnerable populations, including in the context of COVID-19 recovery.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the nature–vulnerability link be better addressed going forward?\",\"answer\":\"Members encouraged Management to develop measurable attributable outcomes, improve knowledge sharing, create metrics, and enhance coordination across relevant Global Practices.
