World Bank Social Development Strategy
An example from Mchinji, Malawi…In 2002 an illiterate woman took part in a CARE program to train communities how to monitor health services using a community score card: keeping track of drug supplies, and assessing the quality of service by staff.
Drugs delivery was a huge problem throughout Malawi
She got very good at it…
-How many drugs were supplied to the center?
-How were given to patients?
-How many were available?
-How were staff treating patients?
Complete turnaround in performance of this health center within 6 months when the score card exercise was repeated
• Health staff know that they will be evaluated every six months
• Ministry takes note of the evaluations
• Change in performance is dramatic

World Bank Social Development Strategy
How does the World Bank support Social Development?
Many parts of the Bank contribute:Social sectors (“Human Development”): health,
education, social protectionPublic Sector Management, poverty analysis
All these areas have strategies Missing understanding of informal and formal
institutions from the perspective of poor people = “social development” in the World Bank

Need to go further: Strengthen policy dialogue and development support lending
Improve project effectiveness – by mainstreaming and free-standing portfolio
Build on foundation of capacity building, advocacy and research
