This evaluation assesses how the Bank has implemented Operational Directive (OD) 4.20, which calls for the preparation of an Indigenous Peoples Development Plan (IPDP) in investment projects that "affect" indigenous peoples (IP). IPDPs are required to be prepared with the informed participation of IP. The goal of IPDPs is to ensure that IP do not suffer adverse effects during the development process from World Bank- financed projects, and that they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits. The evaluation questions are: (i) To what extent is the OD relevant in ensuring that Bank-financed operations do not harm IP and that they may share in project benefits? (ii) How has the Bank applied OD 4.20? Has the OD been implemented equitably? (iii) To what extent has the OD been efficacious and efficient in achieving its stated objectives for IP?
