Descripción
This Country Assistance Evaluation (CAE)
assesses the outcomes of the World Bank's assistance to
Turkey during the period July 1, 1993, to June 30, 2004. It
focuses on the objectives of that assistance and the extent
to which outcomes were consistent with those objectives. It
looks at the Bank's contribution to the achievement of
those outcomes and the lessons for the Bank's future
activities both in Turkey and more broadly. The Bank program
during the period encompassed four broad strategic pillars:
macroeconomic management; growth, competitiveness and
productivity, which included the financial sector and
infrastructure; poverty reduction and social development;
and natural resource management. This report's
assessments are as follows: The outcomes of the overall Bank
program are rated moderately satisfactory, with substantial
institutional development impact and likely sustainability.
In the coming years the Bank should continue a high level of
support to Turkey, but some rethinking of its approach is
needed. With the improvements in public sector management,
the program should be re-balanced with greater support for
private sector development (including its role in generating
employment and reducing poverty) and environmental
management, but without relinquishing the efforts to improve
infrastructure management and support social development.
Within these areas, greater attention needs to be given to
developing the capacity of key agencies responsible for
program implementation. Support for private sector
development would benefit from a coordinated approach from
the Bank, the International Finance Corporation, and the
Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, which has been
lacking until now. Finally, improved environmental
management will be an important area of Bank support to
Turkey as it seeks to negotiate accession to the European Union.
