The advent of the International Development Evaluation Association (IDEAS),
a voluntary, charitable membership based organization, is timely. A new
development consensus has emerged, focused on sustained poverty reduction
driven by economic growth; the removal of social and structural constraints

carry them out; and an intent, especially in the public sector, to manage
for results and measure for performance. In parallel, citizens in developing
and developed countries alike, expect more efficient, more accountable and
more transparent government and public sector programs and projects that
have measurably greater development effectiveness than hitherto. Thus there

results to ensure accountability and learn from mistakes. |
