Country Program Evaluation: Peru 2012-2016

This country program evaluation (CPE) for Peru covers the period 2012-2016, during which the Bank's work was guided by the country strategy with Peru (2012-2016) (document GN-2668). This CPE represents the fourth time the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) has conducted an independent evaluation of the Bank's country program with Peru. The previous evaluations covered the periods 1990-2000 (document RE-262), 2002-2006 (document RE-330), and 2007-2011 (document RE-403-2). The evaluation looks at the country strategy with Peru (2012-2016) and the operations active during that span of time, as well as the Bank's nonfinancial support to Peru during the strategy period. Information was gathered from Bank documents, Peruvian government data and documents, and independent analysis and research papers, as well as from interviews with Peruvian government officials, representatives of Peruvian academia, civil society and the private sector, and Bank staff.
