Are IDBG projects transforming communities? Measuring results using innovative methods

implementation

This Technical Cooperation (TC) will complement IDBG's efforts to systematically measure the results of the Bank's operations in the areas of poverty reduction, gender equality, including female employment, and climate change. Improvements in these three areas have proven to lead to economic growth and increased standards of living. Hence, increasing the effectiveness of IDBG's projects in such areas will contribute to achieve this goal in Central America, Haiti, Mexico, Panama and the Dominican Republic (CID) countries. This TC will provide additional measures on the results of IDBG operations at a narrow geographical level in CID communities by leveraging data sources that link existing survey data and satellite imagery using machine learning. This analysis will provide a more holistic assessment of the positive externalities generated in those areas where IDBG interventions are located.
