Recurring issues from a decade of evaluation : lessons for the IMF

"This evaluation seeks to help the IMF enhance its effectiveness by identifying major recurring issues from the IEO's first 20 evaluations and assessing where they stand. These issues have affected the IMF's performance in all of its core areas of responsibility: surveillance, lending, and capacity development. Their recurrence in different contexts in multiple IEO evaluations suggests that they are intrinsic to the nature of the institution, with deep roots in its culture, policies, and governance arrangements. This report aims to contribute to strengthening the follow-up process by focusing on key issues that have recurred in IEO evaluations, rather than on specific recommendations and their implementation."--Executive summary
