Managing these economic centers well is essential for development. In nearly 3,000 municipalities worldwide, the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) identified 190 operations as Municipal Development Projects (MDPs).

Evidence from this experience can provide useful input to the design of future MDPs—(p. ix)
