congressional oversight. These include how extensive is the World Bank’s
understanding of post-conflict aid’s effects on recipient countries and how well World
Bank aid is coordinated with other donors.

Its work incorporates program and legislative expertise, quantitative methodologies, and legal and economic analysis.
