SPRING MEETINGS 2026 Measurement Is Direction: Putting Targets on the Map Friday, April 17, 2026 1:00-1:30 PM EDT/UTC-4 (local time) © 2026 The World Bank Group,

https://live.worldbank.org/en/event/2026/spring-meetings-outcomes?cid=ECR_E_NewsletterWeekly_EN_EXT&deliveryName=DM278832 This final livestream session in the 2026 Spring Meetings series brings the week’s discussions on targets, results, and impact into focus. It steps back from individual sessions to address a central question: what are development targets for? The answer is tangible impact—more and better jobs, higher incomes, and expanded economic opportunity. Drawing on real‑world examples from government and the private sector, the session shows how clear, measurable goals help translate policy into results, and ambition into outcomes people can see and measure. The discussion highlights how the World Bank Group Scorecard is shifting the institution from tracking activities to delivering outcomes, with jobs as a central priority. It also introduces the Target Map—a public tool designed to make progress more transparent, comparable, and accountable across countries and sectors. Join us live on April 17 to explore how targets, data, and policy come together to support jobs, productivity, and economic growth at scale. © 2026 The World Bank Group,
