Approach paper: Country Program Evaluation: Panama (2010-2014)

As part of its annual work plan, the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) will evaluate the Bank's country program with Panama for the period 2010-2014. This paper defines the approach and methodology for the planned Country Program Evaluation (CPE). This is the third independent evaluation of the Bank's Country Program with Panama. Past evaluations covered the periods 1991-2003 (RE-305), and 2005-2009 (RE-359). For the purpose of this evaluation, OVE will review all Sovereign Guaranteed (SG) and Non-Sovereign Guaranteed (NSG) loan and TC operations (excluding IIC and MIF) that were either active or approved between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2014.
