They are integralto effective and sustainable development because they turn financing into imple-mentable reforms and lasting institutional capabilities. Despite their significance,these activities are often underevaluated, and their impacts remain insufficientlyunderstood. The challenge is primarily methodological: systematically evidencingbehavior change and assessing effectiveness in capacity development interven-tions, compared with other types of financial interventions, is stymied by severalconstraints, from conceptualization to operationalization and measurement. Using the case of the International Finance Corporation’s advisory servicesself-evaluation and the Independent Evaluation Group’s independent validationwork, this paper reflects on the methodological challenges of self-evaluatingadvisory services projects, especially assessing their effectiveness and the qualityof the advisory work completed in the project setting.
