The January 2010 earthquake that devastated Haiti directly affected the infrastructure and personnel of the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development (Ministere de l'Agriculture des Ressources Naturelles et du Developpement Rural, or MARNDR). It weakened the ministry's capacity to lead the economic recovery and food security improvements of the country, and set back research, innovation, and extension systems in the agricultural sector.

Zabul province, located in south-eastern Afghanistan, has often been described as one of the least developed provinces in the country.

Ratings for the Climate Change Development Policy Loan (DPL) Project for Brazil were as follows: outcomes were satisfactory, the risk to development outcome was low, the Bank performance was satisfactory, and the Borrower performance was also satisfactory. Some lessons learned included: the Government of Mexico (GoM) was, and continues to be, fully committed to its climate change adaptation and mitigation agenda. This DPL supports Mexico's program, and the country is increasingly recognized as an international leader in this area.
