A summary of the Country Program Evaluation report for the World Bank Group's support to Nepal from 2014–23 is presented below. The evaluation assesses the Bank Group's performance in key areas including federalism, private sector development, job creation, and disaster resilience.

The Bank Group was effective in responding to major disasters like the 2015 earthquakes and the COVID-19 pandemic, with large-scale financing for reconstruction and health projects. However, implementation challenges arose due to issues such as underdeveloped counterpart capacity, staffing shortages, and political economy constraints, which sometimes outstripped funding.

In the area of federalism, there was a delayed strategy shift after federalization and limited support for provincial institutions, contributing to missed opportunities for reform.

For private sector development and job creation, the Bank Group focused on sectors like transport, energy, and finance, achieving notable results in infrastructure and financial reforms but facing gaps in areas like tax reforms, tourism, and small and medium enterprise support.

In disaster resilience, the Bank demonstrated strength in emergency response and housing reconstruction, but struggles with preparedness, risk mitigation, and integrating resilience into long-term policies.

Lessons drew from these experiences: the Bank Group should prioritize capacity building, foster change coalitions, improve project simplicity, and enhance political economy analysis for better adaptation and results.

The evaluation concludes that continued strategic refinement and learning will support more effective and sustainable development outcomes in Nepal.
