IEG World Bank Project Performance Ratings

Data as of Jan 16, 2025

This dataset contains all independent assessments and validations of World Bank projects carried out by the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) in the last 20 years. This data is updated quarterly in addition to the annual update for IEG's Results and Performance of the World Bank Group (RAP).

Learn more at http://ieg.worldbankgroup.org/ratings.


Note: The data shows the latest evaluation i.e. if a project had multiple evaluations such as a Project Performance Assessment Report (PPAR), only the latest rating is included in the dataset.

Instructions:

We recommend using the API service only for datasets with over a million records. For smaller datasets, please use the JSON link in the "Actions and Tools" section to extract all records at once.

The API supports extraction of up to 1,000 records per request/page. To extract all records, we recommend using the code snippets provided in the Code Snippets tab.

Parameter guidelines:

  • Use DD-MMM-YYYY format for date fields.
  • To filter multiple values, separate them with "|". Example: Country = India|Afghanistan.
  • To filter for blank values, pass "IS NULL". Example: Country = IS NULL.
  • To filter for non-blank values, pass "IS NOT NULL". Example: Country = IS NOT NULL.
