With assistance from the World Bank and other donors, many countries quickly accomplished a number of reforms, but progress in others has been slower. Much has been achieved - the private share of GDP in the transition countries is nearly 70 percent, and 8 countries have joined the EU - but much remains to be completed.; This study assesses the effectiveness of World Bank assistance to the transition, focusing particularly on five topics: 1) private sector development; 2) governance, public sector management, and institution-building; 3) the financial sector; 4) social protection; and 5) energy. Overall Bank assistance has been successful, but there were mistakes early on before the true nature of transition was fully understood. The Bank internalized the emerging lessons and shifted its emphasis accordingly. The study highlights the importance of lending at prudent levels until a solid knowledge base is established, with convincing evidence of government and societal ownership of the assistance program. It contends that analysis of governance and poverty monitoring should be early features of the assistance program, active programs of stakeholder inclusion should be widely replicated, and country assistance strategies used to bolster reform capacity. 410 0$aWorld Bank operations evaluation study. 606 $aEconomic assistance$zEurope 606 $aEconomic assistance$zAsia 615 0$aEconomic assistance 615 0$aEconomic assistance 676 $a332.1/532 700 $aGalenson$b Alice$f1948-$0318171 712 02$aWorld Bank.$bOperations Evaluation Department. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953720203321 996 $aEconomies in transition$94472918 997 $aUNINA
