Abstract: The World Bank research program seeks to improve the design of Bank-financed projects, and programs to increase the effectiveness of aid, and improve recognition of emerging problems, in a responsive manner to crises. Moreover, this program supports policy-oriented research in developing, and transition economies, by assisting in the development of research capacity in member countries, as well as improving the Bank's own advisory role capacity.
