In 2015 the life expectancy at birth world-wide was 71.7 years. In IDA countries, the life expectancy at birth was only 62.8 years. While world-wide, 90.1 percent of students enrolled in primary schools in 2015 completed primary education, in IDA countries the figure is only 73.9 percent.
Regional distribution of project outcomes with risks to development outcomes (RDOs), 2013 to 2016
| MS+ outcome | MS+ outcome with moderate or low RDO | |
|---|---|---|
| IDA | 73 | 34 |
| Africa | 70 | 29 |
| East Asia and Pacific | 79 | 45 |
| Eastern Europe and Central Asia | 80 | 51 |
| Latin America and the Carribbean | 64 | 28 |
| Middle East and North Africa | 39 | 0 |
| South Asia | 82 | 40 |

The data and its representation in Figure 5 give regional distribution of project outcomes as a percentage of total number of projects completed between 2013 and 2016. Thus, for example, 72.6 percent of all projects completed in the IDA countries had ratings of ''moderately satisfactory or better (MS+)'' project outcomes. However, only 34.3 percent of all IDA projects completed had ratings of MS+ with moderate or low risk to development outcome. In the Middle East and North Africa region, only 38.9 percent of completed projects had MS+ outcome ratings. However, none of the projects that completed with MS+ ratings, had ratings of moderate or low RDO.
