The Managing Director and Chief Knowledge Officer (MDCKO) oversees the World Bank Group's knowledge and partnership agenda and helps ensure that the institution's analytical and operational work responds to the most pressing development challenges facing client countries and global partners. The office plays a key role in shaping the WBG's strategic direction, supporting key partnerships with shareholders, development agencies, academia, and other stakeholders, and strengthening how knowledge, evidence, and learning inform development impact.

With the launch of the Knowledge Bank at the start of 2026, the WBG is deepening its focus on one of the areas client countries value most: global knowledge on what works, where, and why. The Knowledge Bank is intended to bring global expertise closer to country challenges, strengthen collaboration across sectors and institutions, and help scale practical solutions that can improve lives, create jobs, and support better development outcomes.

The Department for Outcomes is a corporate delivery and change team at the center of the World Bank Group's shift from measuring activity to managing for impact. Its mandate is to make outcomes visible, comparable, and actionable so that leaders and teams can understand where the institution is changing lives, where progress is off track, and what needs to change next.

The Department leads the implementation of the World Bank Group Scorecard as an accountability, management, and communications tool. It develops and improves outcome indicators, methodologies, and targets in areas such as jobs, climate, private capital, gender, and youth; provides quality assurance; and connects outcome ambitions to knowledge, operations, and financing. Through its Outcome Measurement and Outcome Delivery units, the De-partment combines corporate reporting with portfolio analytics, forecasting, regular stocktakes, and action plan-ning across the World Bank, IFC, and MIGA.

The Department also has a growing global role. It convenes multilateral development banks, development agen-cies, researchers, and external experts to improve and align outcome approaches, build institutional capacity, and modernize the profession of results measurement. Its work reaches from project-level data to senior management decisions, and from new methodologies inside the World Bank Group to shared approaches across the internation-al development system.

Technology and innovation are core to how the team works. The Department develops AI-enabled analytics, data pipelines, forecasting models, interactive visualizations, and decision-support products that turn large and com-plex datasets into clear choices for operational teams, senior management, and external stakeholders. A piece of analysis is not considered finished when it is technically correct; it is finished when it helps improve a decision, a process, or a development outcome.
