AbstractThe utilization of the World Bank Loan/Credit is the core issue of the cooperation between China and the World Bank. The five themes for Bank support outlined by the 1995s CAS, as well as the CAS Progress Report of May 1998, were: macroeconomic growth and structural reform; infrastructure development; human development and poverty reduction; agriculture and rural development; and protecting the environment. At the time, these themes were of high priorities for the Government and consistent with the Bank Group's support for a broad spectrum of advisory services and a blend of IDA and IBRD lending in the range of US$2.5-3.0 billion annually. During this period, the Bank also decentralized responsibilities to the field office and changed the way it carried out its activities. Under the new environment showed above, as an important city in the southwest of China and the important gate way connected China with Southeast Asian countries, Kunming have wide and potential prospect to use the World Bank loan for its fmther development. This study intends to evaluate the two on-going World Bank Loan projects in Kunming according to criteria of relevance of objectives, efficacy, efficiency, and institutional development impact and human resource skill and knowledge changes result from the project. Then the paper tries to look into the status of the project implementation to generalize the existing problems and challenges facing the projects. Conclusions will be drawn; and recommendations on the technical aspect, policy and institutional design aspect will be given.
