Evaluation Methodology 1. The evaluation has used quantitative and qualitative methods for the assessment. Data were obtained from multiple sources and results triangulated and synthesized to answer the evaluation questions. Data on the portfolio, administrative budget, and human resources came from Bank Group databases and previous Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) evaluations. They were subjected to comparative analysis both over time and across country groups, comparing results from fragile and conflicted-affected states (FCS) with countries that were never on the FCS list among International Development Association (IDA) only countries. International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) countries are not covered by this evaluation. Time series comparison for portfolio data covers the period 2001–2012, which was subdivided into two equal periods for comparative analysis. The analysis of databases was comprehensive, drawing on the entire universe available, while sampling was used for more targeted research methods. 2. The primary data collection and analytical methods used were: a. Country case studies of countries selected through purposive sampling in six FCS, including three—the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sierra Leone, and the Solomon Islands—with persistent fragility; and three countries—Cameroon, Nepal, and Yemen—that were on the FCS list during part of the FY06–12 period. The country case studies and three previous country program evaluations on Afghanistan, Liberia, and Timor-Leste were used for an in-depth assessment of the Bank Group’s assistance programs and the efficacy of partnerships in these countries, including the strategies, lending program, analytical work and technical assistance, and advisory services. b. Secondary analysis of IEG’s microevaluations of the Bank Group’s lending/grant/investment /guarantee portfolio in FCS from Bank Implementation Completion Report Reviews and Project Performance Assessment Reports (PPARs); the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Expanded Project Supervision Reports and Advisory Services Project Completion Reports; and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency’s (MIGA) Project Evaluation Reports. c. Analysis of aid and growth in FCS based on comparative analysis of official development assistance from different sources, and the macroeconomic indicators and key determinants of growth in FCS. 1 APPENDIX A EVALUATION METHODOLOGY d. Assessment of gender as a cross-cutting theme. The evaluation includes a review of Bank Group support for gender in FCS through an assessment of the contributions of relevant analytical work, country assistance strategies, and gender mainstreaming in the lending/grant/guarantee portfolio. More specific analysis of the impact of gender support was derived from the country case studies. e. Special reviews were undertaken of all 33 PPARS carried out by IEG in FCS from FY07–12; the health and education portfolio in FCS from FY07–12; and a sample of one-third of the projects on community-driven development, microfinance, and demobilization, disarmament, and reintegration (DDR) to assess gender effects using standard questionnaire templates for each of these reviews. These reviews of available project documentation and previous IEG evaluations assessed the strategy, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, overall treatment of FCS issues, and for the third set of sample projects, the treatment of gender in these projects. f. Analytical work, including econometric analysis were undertaken to examine the relationship between the use of budget support and changes in Country Policy and Institutional Assessment ratings over time. The results from portfolio outcome analysis were also verified through econometric analysis. g. Analysis of staffing data to compare in-country deployment in FCS with that in the other 31 Never FCS. This analysis was supplemented by qualitative assessments of staff support to FCS in the case study countries. h. World Bank administrative budgets for the 33 FCS from FY01–12 were analyzed and compared with the budgets for all 31 Never FCS to assess changes in operational budgets and expenditure patterns over time. i. A review of multi-donor trust funds (MDTFs) in FCS, including the six single- country multisector MDTFs and two multicountry MDTFs focusing on DDR. A field visit to Haiti was also undertaken as part of the MDTF review. j. Perception surveys of World Bank, IFC, and MIGA staff and in-country stakeholders were also undertaken to obtain feedback on Bank Group engagement in FCS. The surveys were fielded toward the end of the evaluation in July and August 2013 using a Google survey platform. The World Bank staff survey was sent to 745 Bank Staff across Bank headquarters, FCS country offices, and regional offices; 143 staff responded. The IFC and MIGA staff survey was sent to 436 staff working on FCS issues; 64 responses were received. The stakeholder survey was sent to 316 government, donor, and other in-country stakeholders and received 60 responses. 2 APPENDIX A EVALUATION METHODOLOGY k. In addition to those on gender and the MDTFs, background papers were prepared on natural resources management, private sector development, agriculture, and jobs, drawing heavily on the country case studies. 3 Appendix B. Cameroon Country Context 1. Cameroon shares some of the characteristics of fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS) including a conflict-affected neighborhood; the nontransparent use of revenues from its huge natural resource endowment; a dominant ruling party; an unwieldy, centralized government, delivering services poorly and unequally to its people; and increasing unemployment, particularly among the youth. 2. French-governed southern Cameroon became independent in 1960 and was joined by British-controlled northern Cameroon in 1961, forming the United Republic of Cameroon. The country has been remarkably stable since independence. Only two presidents have ruled the country including the current one, in power since 1982. Corruption has been endemic with the country ranked in the 18th percentile in the 2011 World Governance Indicators. However, the authorities recognize the need for more progress on anticorruption and give it prominence in their most recent development strategy. Ethnically diverse, Cameroon is composed of 24 major African linguistic groups and many religious affiliations. Its population was estimated at 20 million in 2011, growing at about 2.1 percent a year. 3. Cameroon ranked 150 out of 186 countries on the United Nations’ 2012 Human Development Index, a significant decline from 2010, and it is unlikely to reach any of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The status of women is also poor. The country is in the bottom quartile of countries (71 out of 86) in the 2012 Social Institutions and Gender Index of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Cameroon is also one of only a few countries that legally define men as head of households, with consequent implications for the rights of women. 4. Due to its varied agriculture potential and significant natural resources, Cameroon is often dubbed mini-Africa. Resources include oil, high-value timber, hydropower, natural gas, iron, bauxite, and cobalt. This diversity of resources has not brought significant benefits to the majority of Cameroonians. In 2010, some 70 percent of the population depended on agriculture, with more than 90 percent of employment in the informal sector, both agriculture and nonagriculture. Fueled by a rebound in oil production, economic growth reached 4.4 percent in 2012, and is projected to increase to about 4.8 percent in 2013. The main impediment to private sector development (PSD) are the poor business environment due to poor governance and corruption, lack of infrastructure, access to finance, and lack of skills. 5 APPENDIX B CAMEROON Drivers of Conflict and Fragility 5. Cameroon’s fragility risks arise mainly from weak institutional capacity, and to a lesser extent, legitimacy gaps and societal fragility rather than from security gaps. Some liken the country to a dormant volcano, unsure when or if it will explode, what could be the trigger, or how big the explosion. The impact of Cameroon’s fragility is obvious in its stagnant social and economic indicators and rigid political system. 6. Key drivers of fragility include weak public sector institutions and widespread corruption; concentrated power in the presidency and uncertainty about the 2018 elections; an economically and socially marginalized rural population; an inadequate justice system; and weak property rights and restricted sale of land rights. Cameroon’s natural resource base also contributes to fragility in a number of ways. These sectors produce few jobs and require strong government oversight and regulatory capacity to ensure environmental sustainability and limit corruption — something lacking in the country. Revenue flows are volatile due to price and volume, and economic benefits from these sectors have not been widely shared. Bank Group Strategy and Approach 7. Cameroon has been classified as FCS in four of the past 12 years. Bank Group concerns included the country’s weak government institutions, overstaffed by underpaid civil servants; the strong incentive to pay lip service to reforms to qualify for heavily indebted poor country (HIPC) assistance; the transformation of key state- owned enterprises from state to private monopolies; and the contraction of government budget to pay for external debt. 8. The 1996-2002 Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) achieved its main objectives: consolidating devaluation benefits; improving private sector investment climate; and reducing poverty. However, the Bank’s efforts to deal with key national public sector institutional weaknesses were limited in scope and impact. For example, early attempts to help with civil service reform were abandoned, due to lack of the necessary political will and ownership. Successive World Bank Group strategies, on the other hand, have helped to improve capacity to deliver basic social services. The strategic focus on jobs, although highlighted in CASs from the mid- 1990s, did not have much to show by way of results. Additionally, the Bank gave limited attention to gender and justice; the most recent CAS update also does not pay particular attention to these issues. 9. The International Development Association’s (IDA) and the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) strategic objectives have been fairly consistent over time 6 APPENDIX B CAMEROON and no different from those in non-FCS countries. Governance has been an overarching theme, together with PSD, service delivery, and infrastructure development. The Bank and IFC have also not generally worked closely together, hampered by geographic distances within the country, among other factors. 10. In 2006 Cameroon reached the HIPC completion point. The Bank Group had limited influence on the policy agenda after this period, given the country’s low aid dependency and the authorities’ lack of political will to tackle key fragilities. However, the Bank is seen more favorably today than in the post-structural adjustment period. In recent years the Bank started to commission political economy analyses in key sectors (such as mining and education), and worked on a variety of programs to foster demand for good governance and better services. It is also fostering fact-based discussions and is demonstrating willingness to finance government programs with clear and strong political support — all consistent with the policy framework for Bank work in FCS. The Bank has also demonstrated increasing awareness of the country’s service delivery deficit. BUILDING STATE CAPACITY 11. Bank support for governance, its main area of focus, covered the anticorruption agenda, legal framework and institutions, and public budget and financial management reform. Total IDA financing in the evaluation period for this focus area amounted to $63.1 million. Results, however, have been disappointing. 12. After early unsuccessful attempts to support civil service reform, the Bank largely ignored the issue, believing the authorities lacked political will to reform an overmanned, underpaid civil service. A variety of analytical and advisory activities (AAA) also supported improved governance. However, the large number of AAA likely diminished their impact by producing recommendations of varying importance, making it hard for an already fragmented government to prioritize actions. Bank projects promoting transparency and accountability also have not fared well. Support to strengthen state capacity to manage its natural resources has also had mixed results; Cameroon has made progress toward achieving Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) validation, but has yet to succeed. 13. The Bank has made an effort to support decentralization in the form of decentralized community development plans and improvements in delivery of basic social services, but results have been mixed. 14. On justice, the FY96–02 CAS matrix had called for improved functioning of the judicial system, but no progress was recorded in the Country Assistance Strategy Completion Report. 7 APPENDIX B CAMEROON 15. Public financial management has not shown substantial improvement, and is not yet considered strong enough for the Bank to consider using country systems for Bank-financed projects. 16. Overall, Bank efforts in supporting state-building have had limited impact; the latest CAS Progress Report suggests that institutional mechanisms to improve governance and curb corruption remain weak. BUILDING CAPACITY OF CITIZENS 17. Support for citizen capacity building between FY01 and FY12 has included cumulative IDA financial support of $211.9 million. The World Bank has helped support citizen involvement in key economic policy and strategy decisions at both central and local government levels. The current CAS includes a variety of ways to encourage demand for good governance and results. Initial results on this front seem positive, for example, in Results Based Financing for Health, and the Budget Initiative in several regions of the country. 18. Bank support in social protection and the health sector has been inconsistent and results have been disappointing. The Bank’s focus on gender has also been sporadic and the 2004-2006 CAS acknowledged that “gender issues have not received the attention and support they deserve.” For example, Institutional Development Fund-financed gender assessments planned for FY05 and FY07 were dropped. In the health sector, outcomes for women have been poor so far. The only positive gender-related results were seen in a community development program providing greater voice to women in decision making. Women continue to encounter severe legal constraints due to coexistence of formal and customary law, and there is little evidence of support for economic empowerment of women. 19. In education, the Bank has played an important role in achieving progress. While completion rates are still of concern, with marked regional variations, primary education access is close to universal. Access to quality education, however, remains a significant challenge, especially for the most poor and vulnerable. SUPPORT FOR GROWTH AND JOBS 20. A major share of IDA AAA and financing in Cameroon went to support the growth pillar. Support for growth and jobs between FY01 and FY12 has included total IDA financing of $531.6 million and an IFC commitments of $397.6 million, which is substantial in comparison with other FCS. MIGA guarantees were $8.3 million for two projects. The main focus of the Bank Group was to improve the private sector environment through large infrastructure projects. Additionally, there was periodic assistance for the agriculture sector and natural resource management. Jobs were a key objective of the early CAS period, yet there was minimal attention to this issue. 8 APPENDIX B CAMEROON 21. Despite the dependency of the local population on agriculture, the sector received limited strategic attention from the Bank throughout the evaluation period. Analytical work in 2000 and 2003 included no analysis on which to base recommendations that might improve performance or generate growth and jobs. Bank financing to the sector was characterized by discontinuities in key focus areas and gaps in priorities. Finally, there was inadequate strategic support for the 2003 Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, which had laid out a broad strategic vision for the agriculture sector. 22. The Bank and IFC have provided support to Cameroon’s natural resource industries. The development of oil, gas, and mineral resources are key strategic goals for Cameroon. The Bank financed the capacity building of environmental institutions in Cameroon to monitor and address the environmental impact of the Chad–Cameroon pipeline and environmental issues more generally, albeit with unsatisfactory results. IFC’s involvement in the project was considered successful in requiring the private sector partners to adhere to IFC’s safeguard policies, and the project had a strong financial performance. The Bank also provided technical assistance to improve the efficiency and transparency of the mining sector with some satisfactory results, and provided institutional support to the forestry industry. 23. Infrastructure, particularly electricity and transport, has received the most financing from the Bank Group. The Bank and IFC have worked together effectively to help improve energy supply in urban and rural areas through capacity building and financing for oil, gas, and hydropower projects. Access to power increased from 20 to 50 percent since 2000, well above the average for sub-Saharan Africa. Transport infrastructure has been strongly supported with financial assistance for roads, railway, sea, and airports. While the outcomes of individual transport projects were rated as satisfactory, Cameroon’s transportation system is not sufficiently integrated and lacks prioritized investments. This is largely because these projects did not have the benefit of an integrated multimodal master plan. The development of a comprehensive intermodal national transport strategy is a priority for both Cameroon and its neighboring countries, as the former provides much needed transport access to its land-locked neighbors. 24. IFC has also been active in supporting financial sector investments including microfinance institutions, which have been effective to date. Results of investments in small and medium enterprises through the African Enterprise Fund have been mixed. IFC support included capacity building provided through its Advisory Services; Bank and IFC support for investment climate issues has had limited results. 9 APPENDIX B CAMEROON Bank Group Internal Processes and Support Systems 25. Between 2001 and 2012 overall Bank budget allocations for client services in Cameroon increased in absolute terms (from $5.4 million to $7.5 million) but showed significant fluctuation over the years per active project. During the same period, project supervision budget, as a percentage of client services, showed fluctuations as well. Supervision per active project, however, decreased from $153,000 to $138,000. By cost category, in 2001 economic and sector work and technical assistance accounted for 19 percent of client services and this increased to 32 percent in 2012. The country office has a total of 40 staff of which 24 are GE+ professional staff (including nine international and 15 locally recruited staff). IFC has an office in Douala, staffed by seven investment officers and AS staff; the office covers four countries in Central Africa in addition to Cameroon. 26. IDA financing fluctuated fairly markedly over the evaluation period. Between FY00 and FY06, the Bank was in negative net transfer to Cameroon for all but two years. Over the whole period, although net commitments averaged about $108 million per year, average net transfers were a little more than $18 million. In the pre- HIPC period, IDA commitments were considerable, but results were not encouraging. In the current CAS, the most transformative support appears to be the Bank’s analytical reports and relatively small initiatives funded by trust funds. 27. A total of 16 Bank operations were assessed by the Independent Evaluation Group at exit in FY00–12; of these 68.8 percent were rated moderately satisfactory or above (83.6 percent by amount). However, 66.7 percent of these projects were rated to be at above moderate risk and the same proportion of projects (66.7 percent) was assessed to be sustainable. 28. Operationally, the Bank did not make substantial use of the government procurement or financial management system. The latter still lacks integration at the central and provincial level. Starting with the FY04-06 CAS, the Bank also paid considerable attention to aid coordination; however, this has not translated into common, sectorwide approaches. 10 APPENDIX B CAMEROON Table B.1.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is among the world’s poorest countries and has had the “fragile and conflict-affected” label ever since the Bank introduced the designation. The country experienced conflict during two distinct episodes: first in 1997 and again from 1998 to 2001.1 Since then, the country has experienced relative calm with intermittent bouts of fighting in the country’s eastern provinces.2 DRC has also been characterized by weak governance and severe institutional capacity limitations. 2. Although growth has remained positive since 2002 (in most years it exceeded 5 percent), the many years of income contraction put income per capita today at only about one-third of its value in 1960, the year DRC gained independence from Belgium. Drivers of Conflict and Fragility 3. The drivers of fragility and conflict in DRC are numerous, diverse, and often interwoven. Many are likely to persist for some time. These include: armed militias in the country’s eastern provinces (at least one of them a vestige of the Rwandan genocide) that prey on the local population and resources; competition for mineral resources and the control of land; and the legacy of an ineffective public sector bequeathed by the Mobutu regime (1965–1997), under which a corrupt patronage system benefited a small elite. Following an agreement resulting from an inter- Congolese dialogue and the signature of a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), hopes ran high of sustaining an inclusive democratic government. These hopes have been considerably dampened since the run-up to and conduct of the 2011 elections, which have been widely viewed as flawed.3 Bank Group Strategy and Approach 4. Bank Group engagement over the evaluation period (2001–2013) has been set out in two Transitional Support Strategies (TSSs) in 2001 and 2004, followed by a country assistance strategy (CAS) in 2007 and a CAS Progress Report in 2010. A second CAS (which, unlike the preceding strategies, was formally a joint World Bank–IFC–MIGA document) was discussed by the Board in May 2013. 5. The Bank’s early engagement under the TSSs sought to support macroeconomic stabilization; restoration of order in public finances (including 17 APPENDIX C DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO clearance of arrears to the Bank, which dated back to 1993, and activation of heavily indebted poor country [HIPC] debt relief); overhaul of key parts of the legal and regulatory framework; reconstruction of key infrastructure and service delivery capacity; and demobilization and reintegration. 6. Once relative order and key services were restored, the 2007 CAS transitioned Bank Group support from emergency mode to more medium-term, developmental support. Greater attention was paid to the details of individual sector agendas, with an attendant shift in the format of Bank financial support from multisector rehabilitation and reconstruction operations to single-sector projects. The 2013 CAS appears to consolidate the trend established under the 2007 CAS. 7. The succession of strategies displays awareness of the drivers of conflict and fragility and more recently have become underpinned by political economy analysis. In concrete operational terms, however, there are only a handful of characteristics that have distinguished Bank Group support to DRC from the form of support that one might observe in a non-FCS. The 2013 CAS encompasses a thorough discussion of fragility and conflict drivers, and includes a specific fragility and conflict pillar. This consists of a proposed community-driven development (CDD) type of operation that focused on DRC’s conflict-ridden eastern provinces. 8. Despite the modest gains that support from the Bank Group and other development partners have enabled, DRC’s overall condition has not improved appreciably, and the country will not meet any of the Millennium Development Goals. Barriers to progress are daunting, and negotiating them has been, and is likely to remain, a major challenge. These include lack of state control over major areas of the country and the persistence of conflict in the eastern provinces. BUILDING STATE CAPACITY 9. The World Bank Group’s DRC program has directed substantial support at the state-building pillar over the evaluation period. Support under this pillar has encompassed macroeconomic stabilization (including revenue collection) and public financial management (PFM) in a relatively sustained way. Civil service reform and decentralization have also, less consistently, been included. 10. Bank support for macroeconomic stabilization saw some tangible achievements in the early years, including control of hyperinflation and stabilization in public finances, revenue collection, and debt management. In recent years, Bank support for PFM appears to have been associated with modest but measurable improvement in Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability ratings between 2008 and 2012. 11. In contrast, Bank support for civil service reform and decentralization has made significantly less progress. For example, capacity in subnational units remains 18 APPENDIX C DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO virtually nonexistent, and political uncertainty surrounding the implementation of constitutionally-mandated changes in the configuration of subnational government units casts some doubt on the prospects for steady progress in the future. BUILDING CAPACITY OF CITIZENS 12. Support for citizen capacity-building has covered demobilization and reintegration, health, and support for CDD. Despite the poor conditions facing women in DRC, the Bank’s program has not specifically covered gender-related issues. 13. The conditions facing citizens are daunting: DRC is ranked last on the United Nations Development Program’s 2013 Human Development Index. The condition of women is particularly striking, especially the violence they have been subjected to in conflict-affected areas of the country as well as the extreme legal discrimination they face. Yet the Bank’s program has not specifically covered gender-related issues. Bank support for demobilization and reintegration has helped demobilize roughly 140,000 ex-combatants, about 77,780 of which have benefited from reintegration packages. These limited achievements, however, need to be seen in the broader context, which is characterized by largely unsuccessful reforms of the security sector and Congolese armed forces, and the relatively high cost of the national demobilization and reintegration program for which Bank support has run out. 14. Bank support for health initially took the form of health centers rehabilitation alongside major road rehabilitation delivered through multisector emergency projects. Since then, the Bank has supported a more holistic, integrated approach to the provision of health services based on service provision by public health clinics, with oversight by district health workers receiving performance-based payments, and independent monitoring of the delivery and quality of services using both monitoring of clinics and community feedback mechanisms. However, financial sustainability of the health sector appears intractable. Despite the Bank’s efforts, consistency of health sector support, in terms of both geographic coverage and continuity, is a concern. 15. The Bank has supported CDD by financing a National Social Fund which directed assistance to communities in each of DRC's 11 provinces with a focus on social capital, decision making, and community ownership of services. The Bank was the fund’s sole source of finance and, with funding now depleted, the Bank has opted not to renew funding in the latest CAS. Prior to the Bank’s support for the National Social Fund, the early emergency operations had also contained some CDD activities. 19 APPENDIX C DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO SUPPORT FOR GROWTH AND JOBS 16. Bank Group support for growth and jobs in DRC has covered agriculture, natural resources (mining and forestry), infrastructure development, and private sector development (PSD). Although unemployment is a major issue in DRC, the Bank Group strategy documents do not specifically put forward an explicit strategy for increasing employment. While IFC and MIGA have supported specific private sector projects, the Bank Group’s approach to PSD has not been framed by a consolidated strategy for Bank, IFC, and MIGA support. IFC ceased to engage in DRC in 2010 following expropriation by the government of a mining concession in which it had invested. 17. Direct and sectorwide attention to agriculture, which employs up to three- quarters of the active population, came relatively late. However, the Bank Group has engaged in the area of natural resource management, which is a major growth driver for DRC. IFC’s support in mining was affected by the lack of transparency and governance in the sector. A MIGA project demonstrated the conflict risks faced by investments. Early efforts included providing support in the preparation of the 2002 mining code. However, the Bank Group’s efforts have not yet been effective in helping to foster sound governance in the management of DRC’s natural resources through competitive awarding of concessions and transparent collection of the revenues from the mining and forestry sectors. The difficulty in making progress toward transparency is reflected in the lapse of the IMF program and DRC’s recent suspension for one year from the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. 18. Bank Group efforts to promote PSD through business environment improvements have not been holistic and have taken place against DRC’s very weak environment (the country ranked 181 out of 183 countries among the World Bank’s Doing Business indicators in 2013). Efforts have encompassed analytic work, including investment climate assessments. The Bank also supported infrastructure rehabilitation through its early multisector emergency reconstruction projects. Later, it supported infrastructure through more specialized operations such as one focusing on roads. In addition, IFC’s telecommunications investments have helped increase mobile subscriber numbers to 23 percent of the population. Despite significant Bank investments in the power sector, huge challenges persist in ensuring access to reliable power.4 IFC’s investment and technical support have been effective in helping to establish two micro- and small-and-medium enterprise banks. 19. The Bank has also provided support for PSD through a specific PSD Competitiveness Project to strengthen the investment climate and help reform state- owned enterprises. Although investment climate reform has yielded some recent progress, implementation is an issue in the face of entrenched corruption. State- owned enterprise reform has made little progress, owing particularly to political- economy constraints. 20 APPENDIX C DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO 20. In the 2013 CAS, Bank support for PSD includes a $99 million Western Growth Poles project. Although a more geographically targeted approach may be more effective than generalized efforts to address PSD constraints, the proposed project will not leverage the mining industry in Katanga province or benefit the conflict-ridden eastern provinces of DRC. Bank Processes and Support Systems 21. The Bank Group program in DRC has done a reasonable job of discussing relevant risks, although the Bank could do little to mitigate many of them. The Bank Group could have pushed its agenda more forcefully to avoid risks of deterioration in governance, which have arguably materialized.5 However, it has kept the pressure on the government. Partnerships with other donors could also have been better articulated in strategy documents in certain sectors. In the early days, under the TSSs, the country program demonstrated flexibility in responding to fragility risks and opportunities. Since then, there have been partial, modest gains associated with its support, but not enough to bring about a transformative change in the well-being of DRC’s population. 22. In the 2013 CAS, the Bank has indicated its intent to discontinue the use of Program Implementation Units, which it has made ample use of since reengaging in 2001 in order to attract the requisite skills.6 Although a laudable move, there is serious doubt as to whether the government will be able to mobilize the skills needed for implementation of Bank operations within the bounds of current civil service pay scales. 23. To what extent does the Bank Group program offer support for security, justice, and jobs? Other than the Bank’s early support for demobilization and reintegration, the Bank Group has not been significantly implicated in security sector reform. Attention to justice has also been absent. On jobs, while the Bank Group has supported potential growth drivers, an explicit framework for employment creation has been lacking.7 24. Between FY01 and FY13, financial support from IDA totaled $4.9 billion,8 roughly twice as much being invested in growth and jobs as in building state capacity or building capacity of citizens. The administrative Bank budget for economic sector work (ESW) over the period amounted to $5.2 million, and for technical assistance (TA) totaled $2.3 million. The intensity of ESW and TA in DRC, however, is substantially less than has been observed in other FCS, such as Afghanistan.9 Following post-war reengagement, project supervision increased from 40 percent to 50 percent of client services, although in terms of expenditures per active project the budget varied substantially. Nine Bank-financed operations in DRC were assessed by IEG at exit in FY00–12; of these 44.4 percent of projects (51.2 percent by amount) were rated moderately satisfactory or above. 21 APPENDIX C DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO 25. While nonnegligible, IFC activity has been relatively subdued, as a consequence of its virtual stoppage of new operations after 2010. IFC involvement consists of 13 investments for a total commitment of $170.3 million and 11 Advisory Services operations at a total cost of $9.2 million. MIGA issued five guarantees for a gross exposure of $42 million. 1The second war, often referred to as the “African World War,” which involved as many as nine African countries and 20 armed groups, is estimated (beyond 2001) to have been the deadliest conflict since World War II, resulting in the deaths of about 5.4 million people. In the conflict-racked east of the country, the prevalence of rape and sexual violence has been and continues to be astoundingly high. 2Recently, up to 55,000 refugees from eastern DRC reported to have fled to Uganda following an attack by the Allied Democratic Front (ADF), a Ugandan-led rebel group, on the town of Kamongo on July 11, 2013. Despite the presence of a UN peacekeeping force of more than 17,000 military personnel, the local population clearly does not feel safe. 3The loss of legitimacy is reflected in DRC’s rating of 1.92 (out of a possible 10) on the Economist Intelligence Unit’s democracy index. Ratings of 4 and below denote “authoritarian r egimes.” 4Over $1 billion in Bank investments to the power sector have largely benefited the mining sector in Katanga and exports but have had limited impact on the local economy. Access to electricity remains at a low 9 percent. 5TheIMF sent a strong signal by allowing the arrangement for DRC under its Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility to lapse at the end of 2012 in response to DRC’s failure to publish the particulars of one mining contract. 6Inusing Program Implementation Units, the Bank recruited away some of the most qualified civil servants; it did not, however, integrate an explicit mandate of transferring fiduciary skills to the civil service in its approach. 7Inthis respect, the latest CAS contains more substantial references to employment and the need to create jobs. 8Given DRC’s population of roughly 71 million today, this amounts to about $70 per capita, a significant amount. 9Asa comparator, resources for AAA in DRC amounted to less than one-third of those in Afghanistan over the same period (more than $24 million in Bank budget and $7 million in trust fund resources). 22 APPENDIX C DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO Table C.1.

Nepal is a poor land-locked country with a population of 26.6 million (excluding some 4 million Nepalese working outside the country), situated between the two largest countries in the world, China and India. Key country features are the rugged topography, ethnic and linguistic diversity, severe monsoons, and total dependency on India for trade transit. About half the country’s population lives in the Terai belt, 43 percent in the Hill zone and the balance in the Mountain belt. Population density is uneven across these regions, with substantial parts being inhospitable for human habitat. While the country is endowed with rich and diversified natural resources, the virtual dependence on wood for fuel along with the cutting down of trees to open up agricultural land, and the failure to replant, has resulted in extreme fragility of the ecosystem. About 82 percent of the population lives in rural areas and depends on subsistence farming for their livelihood. Unlike its immediate neighbor India, Nepal was never colonized. 2. Since it was unified in 1768, the country had a highly centralized political and administrative structure, which in hindsight turned out to be ill suited to the country’s diverse topography and ethnic composition. Under that structure inequality increased among the different social groups, with the high castes enjoying disproportionate benefits, and other groups (janajati, dalit, and women) increasingly left behind, lacking access to many of the state’s social services and development opportunities; under the previous Panchayat system they also had virtually no role in the political and economic decision making process.1 Notwithstanding these constraints, the country has made commendable progress in meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), although much of this success is the result of large remittances (currently amounting to 23 percent of GDP) rather than judicious government policies. Drivers of Conflict and Fragility 3. A series of policy reforms introduced since the mid-1980s have helped accelerate per capita income growth, reduce poverty, and improve human development indicators. However, these improvements were neither fast enough nor equally distributed geographically and by ethnic and caste groups to meet the “tide of rising expectations” that accompanied the advent of democracy in 1990 and to prevent the outbreak in 1996 of intense conflict and political instability. 4. A complex set of grievances against the political and economic elite, mainly among people living in rural areas and belonging to lower castes and lower-status 29 APPENDIX D NEPAL ethnic groups, gave rise to an armed insurrection instigated by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), which started in 1996 and lasted 10 years. The insurgency, inspired by the communist political movement, gained strength because the government tried to suppress it by force instead of address its root causes. Key factors driving the insurgency included: dysfunctional politics (20 governments since the introduction of democracy between 1990 and 2011, and inter-party and intra-party tensions reflecting growing factionalism); poor governance with pervasive corruption; inequitable land distribution and landlessness; inability of the state to provide effective services to all citizens; deep-rooted social, economic, and political exclusion condoned by the state; discrimination based on caste and ethnicity; widespread poverty, especially among the rural population; lack of employment opportunities; susceptibility to natural disasters; and topographical constraints to connectivity and movement of people, goods, and services giving rise to geographical isolation. Despite the presence of these drivers of fragility, unlike most other fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS), Nepal was able to sustain economic and social development during the insurgency and to avoid a breakdown in institutions and economic welfare. 5. Throughout the 10 years of conflict and for three years following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), Nepal was not classified as FCS. Even though today Nepal no longer falls in the FCS category, many of the factors that gave rise to the earlier conflict are still present. After signing the CPA in 2006 and abolishing the monarchy in 2008, Nepal went through a major transition to democracy with a string of precarious coalition governments running the country. However, due to deep-seated differences leading the absence of a political settlement on issues such as federalism, proportional representation, and exclusion, Nepali politics remains highly dysfunctional, with the numerous parties failing to agree on issues even when there is broad agreement on objectives. Bank Group Strategy and Approach 6. Throughout the insurgency there were virtually no interruptions in the International Development Association’s (IDA’s) operations in Nepal, although no new investments were made by International Finance Corporation (IFC) between 1998 and 2008; Advisory Service operations (rolled-out at the Corporate level in 2005) began in 2006. Overall Bank activities during the review period (2000 to 2012) were guided by the Country Assessment Strategy (CAS) Progress Report of December 2002, a full CAS for FY04-07, and three Interim Strategy Notes (ISNs) for FY07–08, July 2009 to June 2011, and FY11–13. The Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) undertook a Country Program Evaluation (CPE) for 2003-2008. During this period there were considerable changes in the Bank’s country strategy in terms of objectives and lending, partly because of changed circumstances but also due to the absence of a long-term strategic approach, especially during the conflict years and 30 APPENDIX D NEPAL the initial post-conflict period. On balance the current review considers that despite some notable shortcomings the overall support provided by IDA was timely and appropriate. 7. A notable shortcoming of IDA’s strategy was the considerable disconnect between the ISNs’ ambitious objectives to address the underlying causes of conflict and fragility, and the sporadic manner in which these objectives were taken up in individual operations. It is noteworthy that IDA was not deterred from issuing a CAS during the 10 years of conflict but the following seven relatively peaceful years have only warranted ISNs. 8. The extent to which IDA’s activities in Nepal addressed the three strategic themes underpinning the FCS analysis shows considerable appreciation of and attention to exclusion, inequalities, geographical isolation, and lack of accountability. Cognizant of the significant role being played in Nepal by communities, IDA engaged in community-driven development (CDD) type operations that effectively circumvented implementation weaknesses in line ministries and addressed issues of fragility. On the other hand, project preparation in a fragile country setting would have benefited greatly from an in-depth structured political economy analysis and risk assessment, especially where projects included ambitious policy and institutional reforms. The 2011 World Development Report (WDR) recommends preparing country strategies for FCS based on strong political economy analysis that helps identify the triggers leading to conflict and violence. At the operational level, despite efforts to employ a “peace filter” during project preparation, for much of the period under review there has been minimal use of conflict-related risk analysis manifested in changes in project design. 9. All of IFC’s activities in Nepal fall under the third theme of the FCS analysis: promoting growth and jobs. Over time, the Bank Group’s country strategies gave more prominence to the role of private sector development (PSD) and IFC’s contributions to creating an enabling environment for investments in key sectors, growth, and employment. In response to the 2011 WDR, there has been growing recognition of the private sector’s role in reducing the risks of fragility through domestic job creation. BUILDING STATE CAPACITY 10. Considering the daunting challenges to state building presented by Nepal’s diversity, IDA made the correct decision to place considerable emphasis on providing support to address core public sector management systems such as public financial management (PFM) and decentralization. But Nepal’s politically unstable environment did not result in an IDA strategy significantly different from one being pursued in non-FCS countries. IDA opted not to join eight bilateral donors and the United Nations Development Programme in supporting the trust fund for the Local 31 APPENDIX D NEPAL Governance and Community Development Program. Furthermore, the preparation of a series of analytical reports had limited impact largely because the politically charged nature of these reports prevented their public release or sharing them with government. Support to justice and security, two issues being advocated in the 2011 WDR, received limited attention. 11. Intentions expressed in several ISNs to employ a sectorwide approach and country systems only materialized in the health and education sectors and in June 2012 under Program-for-Results financing for bridge improvement and maintenance. Despite the ISNs’ emphasis on supporting state building, the resources devoted to relevant programs amounted to just 17 percent of all IDA operations. BUILDING CAPACITY OF CITIZENS 12. Recognizing the continuing risks of set-backs in the peace process, IDA correctly decided to support the process of building strong social services and livelihood opportunities, especially for the poor. Programs falling under this pillar registered considerable achievements, including extensive use of a CDD approach to address exclusion, effective use of a sectorwide approach in education and health, and financing of the Poverty Alleviation Fund, a national program aimed at breaking out of the trap of poverty, slow growth, poor governance, social exclusion, gender discrimination, bleak employment prospects, and deep inequalities, all of which were interlinked and fuelling the political crisis and conflict situation. Initially, four Poverty Reduction Support Credits operations were envisaged in the CAS, but only one was approved (November 2003), ostensibly because Nepal failed to implement agreed labor reforms. Ten years later, despite limited progress with reforms, the new CAS recommends resumption of budgetary support. IDA missed opportunities to help address conflict, fragility, and poverty due to this hiatus. On the other hand IDA paid close attention during and following the insurgency to gender mainstreaming across programs (health, education, and CDD-based operations) as well as special programs targeted for women and other disadvantaged groups. These efforts have translated into commendable progress on gender-related MDGs (i.e., higher rates of education for women, lower maternal mortality and fertility rates, and higher political participation at the national level). SUPPORT FOR GROWTH AND JOBS 13. Activities under this pillar accounted for 44 percent of IDA operations (39 percent of lending) and are expected to grow under the new CAS. Funding was almost equally divided between transport, power, and agriculture, with considerably smaller amounts going to water supply and sanitation. Noteworthy features of these operations include the considerable attention to inclusiveness during project design but limited attention to other aspects of fragility. 32 APPENDIX D NEPAL 14. IFC’s strategy in Nepal was to gradually increase its Advisory Services (AS) in access to finance and investment climate, while investments were targeted to sectors having the most potential for growth, including hydropower, air transportation, and the financial sector. Since 2008, IFC has invested $36 million in Nepal (long-term financing) and committed $20 in short-term finance, the majority of which, just under $12 million, in trade facilities through the Global Trade Finance Program. 15. Great emphasis is required on resolving cumbersome regulations and policies and reducing political uncertainty, especially where they directly relate to infrastructure and access to finance, in order to attract significant investment in Nepal. 16. The resources allocated to this theme, however, are not commensurate with the country’s needs. A glaring omission under this theme is the scant number of activities in support of employment and remittances. Remittances and migration have received considerable attention in analytical work carried out by DEC and the Region, but they were not effectively incorporated into the policy dialogue and lending program. The Bank Group is focusing its efforts on the enabling environment with IFC leading in some areas with AS and catalytic investments, while the Bank works with the government on regulatory issues. Bank Group internal processes and support systems 17. Between 2001 and 2012 overall budget allocations for client services in Nepal (all figures this section are in constant 2011US$) increased substantially in absolute terms (from $4.2 million to $10 million). When measuring total budget divided by the number of active projects, there was actually a decrease from $466,000 per project in 2001 to $278,000 in 2012. By cost category, in 2001 economic and sector work and technical assistance accounted for 32 percent of client services. This increased to 40 percent in 2012, which is commensurate with the country’s needs, although the breakdown by sector and activity did not always strictly match the country strategy and priorities. During the same period project supervision increased from 23 percent to 43 percent of client services, although in terms of expenditures per active project, the actual increase is far smaller, from $107,000 to $120,000. This would indicate underfunding of supervision in light of portfolio outcomes and the country’s fragility. 18. The period under review saw a fairly rapid buildup of Bank Group presence in the field after the signing of the CPA. There was also an appropriate decision to opt for selectivity in project choice (a number of activities were in fact discontinued), though this was made fairly late. Prior to FY10 the budget allocated to supervision (measured on a per project basis) was at a low level and did not properly consider 33 APPENDIX D NEPAL the status of the portfolio; thereafter there was considerable increase in the overall country budget allocation, with much of it funded by trust funds. 19. A total of 73 operations were assessed by IEG (FY80–FY11). Of these, 37.5 percent were rated Unsatisfactory or Highly Unsatisfactory (27.6 percent by amount). These results are closely correlated with the FY00–12 project at risk data that show an average of 31.8 percent of the projects to be at risk (38.2 percent by amount) and suggest that despite the extensive use of the CDD approach, a good portion of the portfolio was probably overly ambitious and complex in relation to implementation capacity in the country. 1World Bank and DFID (U.K. Department for International Development). 2006.

Sierra Leone has enjoyed remarkable peace and stability since the end of the brutal civil war 10 years ago. In this period, it has successfully held three national elections, including one which saw a peaceful transition from the ruling party to the opposition, and two local elections. The economy, which was devastated during the war, has been recovering at an average rate of about 8.5 percent per annum in FY02– 11. The country has entered into several mineral concessions with international companies which could support the country’s development efforts. 2. Yet, Sierra Leone faces serious development challenges. It remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Per capita income remains below that reached in the 1970s. Despite recent progress, it has some of the worst social indicators, rampant unemployment, and a legacy of poor governance. Its future prospects depend critically on the government’s commitment and ability to channel growing revenues from its extractive industries toward broader economic and social development. Drivers of Conflict and Fragility 3. Sierra Leone’s civil war followed three decades of rule by the increasingly authoritarian government. The population had derived little benefit from the export of diamonds, which was the mainstay of the country. Most people remained impoverished. The opaque political system concealed corrupt deals between national power brokers, local chiefs, and expatriate diamond merchants. However, the depletion of Kono diamonds in the 1980s diminished revenues, and thus the ability of the regime to patronize key clients, leading to a series of attempted coups. In addition, corruption became widespread, with the population at large excluded from the benefits of resource extraction. A climate of insecurity developed, leading to strengthening of state-sponsored militias. The centralization of power in the hands of the ruling party excluded those in the southeast of the country who supported the opposition. This is believed to be one of the main grievances that contributed to the civil war in 1991, led by the Revolutionary United Front, a small group of radical youths and itinerant diamond diggers. The subsequent virtual economic collapse further fed broad dissatisfaction with successive military governments. In short, prolonged bad governance over the first 40 years of the country’s independence, combined with spill-over of conflict in neighboring Liberia financed in part by conflict diamonds, was the principal driver of conflict. 4. Post-war, the democratically elected governments implemented a series of reforms aimed at improving governance with strong support from the donor 41 APPENDIX E SIERRA LEONE community. Some of the principal steps taken so far to improve governance have included: establishment of the Anti-Corruption Commission, strengthening of the public procurement system, improved budget management, passage of a new mineral law, the establishment of an independent minerals management agency, and decentralization of functions to elected local governments. Nevertheless, serious challenges remain. Government capacity for service delivery is weak, and corruption is still high. Infrastructure remains poor in part due to destruction during the civil war, but also because of slow implementation of donor-funded projects. These factors could lead to the conclusion that the country remains fragile, a view implicit in much of the Bank’s work and in the political economy analysis commissioned by the Bank in 2008.1 However, no conflict has recurred in the past decade. There are no internal ethnic or religious drivers of conflict and little appetite to re-live the war which many see as having been fueled by external forces. World Bank Group Strategy and Approach 5. Over FY01–12, the World Bank committed $718 million in International Development Association (IDA) credits for 55 projects and $216 million more in trust funds (TFs), making it the third-largest donor after the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom. It has conducted at least 25 formal studies in relevant sectors. 6. Overall Bank activities during the review period (2000 to 2012) were guided by an Interim Strategy Note (ISN), two Transitional Support Strategies (TSSs: TSS-1 and TSS-2), and two Country Assistance Strategies (CASs: CAS-1 and CAS-2). Early phases of operations until TSS-2 emphasized infrastructure rehabilitation; small community-driven development (CDD) projects; demobilization, disarmament, and reintegration (DDR); and budget support. Starting with TSS-2, the Bank quickly expanded its support for an array of sectors and subsectors. Since then, it has had interventions in virtually every sector and subsector, but without a critical mass of support in any single area, except for some continuity in public sector management. Strengthening governance has been an area of attention throughout the period covered by two CASs, although not as a strategic pillar in CAS-2. 7. With a fiscal deficit of more than 10 percent of GDP, sustained budget support has been critical to the government’s ability to implement its development program. The Bank provided $206 million as budget support and helped mobilize an estimated $500–$600 million in cofinancing from EU, the United Kingdom, and the African Development Bank for this purpose. 8. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has taken the lead in supporting private sector development (PSD), focusing mainly on investment climate reform through $11 million in advisory service activities. It has not been involved in any of the major mining investments since the end of the civil war. IFC has supported 42 APPENDIX E SIERRA LEONE investments in telecom and a regional venture fund for small and medium enterprises, and deployed its trade finance product for total commitment of US$25 million). The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) issued $21.5 million in guarantees to support small investment program (SIP) projects in telecom services, transportation, customs services, fisheries, manufacturing, and financial services. 9. Bank strategy in the immediate post-conflict period (as reflected in the TSS) was mostly appropriate and consistent with immediate needs; it prioritized DDR, CDD, and the acceleration of project implementation. However, Bank strategies since then have lacked a coherent framework that is derived from drivers of fragility. There appears to have been a rush to start project lending opportunistically, without a consideration of strategic sequencing. Many Bank interventions were overambitious. The CASs do not seem to differ in any significant way from what the Bank does in any other country. The lack of strategic selectivity is similar to other countries, but its effect is exacerbated in Sierra Leone because of its small lending envelope ($20 million to $30 million annually) and weak institutional capacity. 10. Sustained budget support was an important instrument to support Sierra Leone’s development since 2000. However, the effectiveness of budget support could have been enhanced if there had been predictability in the amount and timing of the release of donor funds, and the operations had been focused more sharply on governance, capacity building, and public expenditure management. BUILDING STATE CAPACITY 11. State-building efforts were focused initially on effective public resource management in the Ministry of Finance. Bank support for public financial management (PFM) was invaluable in the initial phases. The Bank’s strategy of expanding this effort over time into decentralization and civil service reform was also appropriate. However, effectiveness in this area has been less than it could have been due to the following: continued reliance by donors on the use of Project Management Units and Project Implementation Units despite commitments otherwise; reliance on an expensive parallel civil service without an exit strategy; failure to extend PFM and capacity building efforts to key service delivery ministries like health and education; delay in tackling critical civil service reform; and lack of intra-Bank coordination among sector units which hampered progress on the government’s decentralization initiative. BUILDING CAPACITY OF CITIZENS 12. There were some notable achievements including an effective CDD effort through the National Social Action Program, expansion of primary school enrollment, and outreach to many more women with maternal and child health 43 APPENDIX E SIERRA LEONE services. However, despite these microlevel successes, the overall situation in these areas continues to be inadequate. The education sector, with high dropout rates, is far from meeting the needs of the economy. The health system is still weak and cannot deliver on the government’s ambitious initiative to provide free health care for mothers. Despite the widespread sexual violence against women during the war years, the Bank did not address the priority needs of these victims in the immediate post-conflict phase. Particularly, complex dual legal systems posed severe barriers for access to courts and reparations for these women. The Bank’s DDR program was successful in demobilizing ex-combatants, but lacked a justice component that made the communities feel that the DDR program rewarded the perpetrators rather than the victims of war. The rush to finance ad hoc projects without the benefit of adequate sector work and institutional analysis of the key ministries detracted from the longer-term goal of institutional development. SUPPORT FOR GROWTH AND JOBS 13. There was limited World Bank Group support in this area with no systematic effort to address constraints to jobs. The main contribution from the Bank and IMF was to help the government develop and maintain a stable macroeconomic environment, a notable accomplishment considering the unsatisfactory record of the previous four decades. This was one of the key factors for the country to qualify for debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative in 2002. The growth that the country experienced was largely from the recovery of agriculture and growth in mining, areas where the Bank and IFC did not have a significant role. 14. The Bank supported rehabilitation of Sierra Leone's mining sector in the form of a new mineral policy, a mining cadaster, extension services, and a fund from diamond sales for community projects in mining areas. The Bank helped the government revise its mining code in 2009 and establish a National Mineral Agency (2013) to oversee implementation in the sector. Bank support helped Sierra Leone restart investments in the sector and raise vital revenue, but governance of the sector remains a challenge. Efforts to support more sustainable policies—which can leverage mining as a catalyst for local economic growth through investments in shared infrastructure and human capital—are only now being contemplated. 15. Bank efforts in infrastructure and education, two factors critical for growth and jobs, were limited and largely unsuccessful; both areas remain leading constraints to PSD. IFC work on business environment reforms, while important, has not yet had a significant effect on private sector growth and job creation. It has helped improve Sierra Leone’s image for foreign investors, but its effectiveness has been hampered by the lack of continued implementation support and capacity building for reforms following the end of funding for the IFC program. The Bank and IFC could have played a bigger role in mining and agriculture. IFC efforts seem to have been driven more by availability of donor TFs than from a considered 44 APPENDIX E SIERRA LEONE strategy. MIGA supported investments in small manufacturing, agribusiness and services projects under its SIP. However, operational results of these projects in Sierra Leone have been poor. A lesson for other FCS is that jobs need to be placed at the center of the agenda throughout, supported by a holistic strategy informed by sector work on constraints, and a clear short- and medium-term strategy focused on the drivers of jobs and growth, including in agriculture. Bank Group Internal Processes and Support Systems 16. Overall Bank budget allocations for client services increased significantly (in constant 2011 US$) in 2002, to $14.7 million from $6.5 million the previous year. The increase was linked with the opening of the country office and the greater emphasis given to the country in the immediate post-war period. However, the budget declined steadily to about $5.2 million in 2006 and has remained around this level since then. The budget for lending in this period has averaged around $1.5 million per annum, fluctuating between a low of $810,000 (2006) and a high of $2 million (2002). The supervision budget increased steadily from 2002 ($1.4 million) to 2008 ($2.4 million) and has largely stayed at this level. However, the supervision budget per active project has been decreasing in recent years and is now about $113,000. Given the generally satisfactory project outcomes (70 percent plus moderately satisfactory or better since 2002), the supervision effort is considered adequate. A significant portion (around 50 percent) of the country budget was devoted to ESW in the first five years, but has been at a modest level (less than 10 percent) since then. This has resulted in insufficient analytic underpinnings of the country strategy and operations. About one-third of the country budget relies on trust funds; most of the expatriate staff based in the country office is financed by them. This creates uncertainties and potential issues with staff continuity and quality. 17. The Bank established country presence as early as 2002. Since then, the country office has grown and currently has a total of 22 staff, of which 12 are GE+ professional staff (four international and eight locally recruited). There are also several trust-funded consultants who, although not formally a part of the country office, essentially act as field staff of the Bank for specific sectors or initiatives. IFC opened its office in Freetown in 2011 and has two international staff, but no investment officer in the field office. 18. Despite this large Bank Group presence in the field, the delivery of the program is highly centralized, with most task managers based in Washington. Discussions with staff working on Sierra Leone indicate that there is also frequent turnover of staff and task managers. There also does not seem to be much support from the regional hubs. 45 APPENDIX E SIERRA LEONE 1Robinson, James A. 2008. “Governance and Political Economy Constraints to World Bank CAS Priorities in Sierra Leone.” Report prepared for the Country Department (October), World Bank, Washington, DC. 46 APPENDIX E SIERRA LEONE Table E.1.

The Solomon Islands is an archipelago of almost 1,000 islands with a total land area of 29,900 square kilometers spread over 1.34 million square kilometers of ocean. With a population of only 520,000 it has one of the lowest population densities and urbanization rates in the world (18 persons per square kilometer and 17 percent, respectively). Distances between islands are large, and access to both internal and overseas markets is poor with few transport options. The population is predominantly confined to rural communities where they produce agricultural products on customary-owned lands. The majority of Solomon Islanders identify themselves as Melanesians (95 percent), although there is considerable cultural diversity with around 70 distinct languages and numerous dialects. 2. Historically, the Solomon Islands were annexed in 1893 by the British. It has a history of migration, initially supplying cheap labor to the sugarcane plantations in Australia, Fiji, and Samoa, but it was also active in the production and supply of copra. The Solomon Islands were granted independence in 1978 and inherited a Westminster-style system of government. There have been numerous issues around devolution and provincial autonomy since independence driven by the inequitable concentration of political and economic power in the national capital. Successive governments have suffered from chronic instability due to the weakness of the political party system and the prevalence of personalized and parochial politics.1 Frequent changes of government have resulted in a system of weak political and policy cohesion and 14 different governments since independence. Drivers of Conflict and Fragility 3. The Solomon Islands is about to enter its second decade of peaceful settlement since “the tensions” of 1998-2003. The conflict resulted in significant internal displacement, a 24 percent drop in GDP, and the cessation of basic state functions. The conflict was resolved with the arrival of the Australian-led Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). Since that time the country has remained largely peaceful aside from a short period of unrest in Honiara’s Chinatown that followed the 2006 elections. RAMSI is seen as central to the maintenance of this peace, and it continues to enjoy strong support within the community (83 percent in a recent perception survey conducted by the Australian Agency for International Development and Australian National University). 53 APPENDIX F SOLOMON ISLANDS 4. The causes of the conflict in the Solomon Islands are complex. Inequitable distribution of natural resources, land disputes, and frustration with local-center relations coupled with poor service delivery and spending have all undermined national cohesion.2 In particular, the lack of benefits to local communities from logging and the inequity of the funding system fueled resentment among excluded groups. Tensions came to a head in 1998 when the civil conflict broke out, and they did not abate until external forces restored peace in 2003. 5. Economic recovery ensued on the back of the peacekeeping and reconstruction efforts. Log exports resumed, the palm oil plantation reopened, and more recently the Gold Ridge mine (supported by financing from the International Finance Corporation) restarted production, all of which have stimulated economic growth. However, gross national income (GNI) per capita rates are yet to return to the pre-tension levels, and the nature of growth is still tenuous. Significantly, the political situation in the Solomon Islands remains fluid. 6. The Solomon Islands has been classified as a fragile and conflict-affected state since the release of the Country Policy and Institutional Assessment ratings in 2006. With a current rating of 2.94 and little change over the last five years, it has consistently scored below the 3.2 FCS threshold. While the threat of violence and conflict in the Solomon Islands does not pose an immediate threat to the country, there is still a range of fragility drivers that make it vulnerable to sliding backwards unless concerted efforts are made to address the issues. Weak institutions and poor governance prevent the country from graduating out of FCS status. They will continue to inhibit development opportunities unless there is a clear mandate for improving the accountabilities of parliamentarians and reforming the means of sharing the returns from extractive industries. Bank Group Strategy and Approach 7. Prior to 2010, the Bank’s engagement in the Solomon Islands was guided by the Pacific Regional Strategy (PRS). The Bank’s Pacific Regional Strategies of 2000 and 2005 provided the framework for renewed engagement with the nine Pacific Region member countries.3 The two regional strategies focused on the sustainable utilization of natural resources, country led coordination with other development partners, and the role of Pacific institutions in making progress against poverty. 8. The lending program for the pre-2010 period was largely IDA funded. It focused on sectors where the Bank had particular expertise and where there were limited alternative sources of finance. This meant strategic support to the health and education sectors, transport infrastructure, and telecommunications as well as private sector involvement in these areas. Given the small size of the portfolio, the intention was to use existing instruments more flexibly and develop new 54 APPENDIX F SOLOMON ISLANDS instruments that matched the scale of Pacific countries. Adaptable Program Loans and Learning and Innovation Loans were seen as useful tools for this work. 9. In the Solomon Islands, the PRS 2000 and 2005 strategies sought to support “reforms and constituencies for change.” This meant analytical and advisory work, small grants, and the exploration of opportunities for rural income generation. Unfortunately, the approach was not explicitly informed by the context or circumstances of the post-conflict environment. This meant both documents had limited relevance to the unique demands of the Solomon Islands government. 10. An 18-month Interim Strategy Note (ISN) was prepared for FY10–11 in recognition of the growing role of the World Bank in the Solomon Islands. The document acknowledged that the ISN was taking on a program of activities that was largely pre-set, but it sought to frame these within a more context specific document. The ISN included a small development policy operation of $1.8 million to support public financial management (PFM) reforms as well as projects to improve telecommunications and energy infrastructure, engage with issues in the rural sector (Rural development Program), assist with mining sector regulatory reforms (economic and sector work and technical assistance), support labor migration schemes, and enhance donor coordination. The ISN also outlined the various economic sector work (ESW) required to provide a clearer picture of the country’s needs and where the Bank was likely to make the strongest contribution. Building a stronger analytical basis for a country assistance strategy (CAS) sometime in 2012– 2013 was seen as a key part of the growing engagement in the Solomon Islands and necessary given the country’s FCS status. The ISN acknowledged the significant risks of renewed unrest and was clear in articulating the need for simplicity of design and willingness to restructure where necessary. Bank Group Support for FCS Themes BUILDING STATE CAPACITY 11. The state in the Solomon Islands is invisible for much of the population. Weak governance and limited capacity prevented the state from adequately engaging in service delivery and effectively managing the country’s natural resources. In this environment, early Bank strategies struggled to have any impact. Increasing internal tensions in the Solomon Islands disrupted the Bank’s efforts, and just keeping the peace proved difficult for the incumbent government. The tensions continued to cause sporadic disruption until 2003. 12. It was not until the FY10–11 ISN that the Bank began to make progress by building its support around the unique problems in the Solomon Islands. In-country expertise was made available to the Ministry of Finance for targeted technical 55 APPENDIX F SOLOMON ISLANDS oversight, and the Bank established the Core Economic Working Group (CEWG) to provide a coordinated body to engage the government and other donors on dealing with crucial economic constraints. Both approaches enhanced the Bank’s reputation in the country with government and other donors. 13. While the Bank’s support to the Ministry of Finance and the CEWG was well received, there was a range of shortcomings that held the program back: The Bank did not engage on the contentious issues surrounding the Constituency Development Funds4 and did not adequately support line ministries to improve PFM and effectively execute their budgets. The Ministry for Development Planning felt it was ignored by the Bank’s program and ill-informed as to pipeline programming and future funding. The issue was further compounded by the limited government consultation that accompanied preparations for the recent World Bank CPS 2013-17. BUILDING CAPACITY OF CITIZENS 14. Given the limited reach of government, a significant portion of IDA funds were correctly directed toward social services. The Bank focused on addressing the skills deficit through analytical work and hands-on support to departmental staff in the health sector, nudging them in the right direction on policy and system reform. This focused technical assistance work has been effective in addressing the primary deficit around capacity constraints in line ministries. In addition to the support for the health sector, the Solomon Islands program also had in-country trust-funded support from the Justice for the Poor (J4P) program. J4P, with assistance from RAMSI, undertook the Justice Delivered Locally initiative with the Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs. This work identified many of the issues causing disputes. In-country management saw J4P as a valuable resource in guiding operations toward context specific activities. While the program deserves credit for integrating a justice perspective into its operations, it continues to rely on trust funds to finance J4P. SUPPORT FOR GROWTH AND JOBS 15. Despite general recognition of the centrality of employment in the context of fragility in the Solomon Islands, it has not been a priority of donors. The Bank emphasized the importance of jobs and growth in both the regional strategies and in the ISN, but in an implicit rather than explicit form. Funding was split between energy, telecommunications, and direct employment projects (Rapid Employment Program) with varied success. On the positive side, the Bank’s regulatory reform work has improved the investment climate in the Solomon Islands, but overall the story on growth and jobs has not been good. The majority of jobs continue to be in the informal sector and little progress has been made in developing new formal employment opportunities or successful labor migration programs in the region. The Bank shied away from issues related to land reform and natural resource 56 APPENDIX F SOLOMON ISLANDS extraction when there was a need for technical assistance and oversight, and it did not adequately support the agricultural sector despite having a Rural Development Program. Natural resource extraction and plantation agriculture have the most opportunities for significant jobs growth. But aside from the $35 IFC financial support to the Gold Ridge Mine, the support for these sectors has been poor. Bank Group Internal Processes and Support Systems 16. Bank budget allocations in the Solomon Islands for client services have grown considerably between 2001 and 2012 (from $375,000 to $1.004 million). However, in the same period the supervision budget per project has fallen (from $95,000 per project in 2001 to $65,000 per project in 2012). Allocations since 2009 have been sporadic, rising to $1.4 million in 2010 and then falling back to just over $1 million in 2012. Both ESW and TA have also been sporadic, with ESW growing to over $460,000 in 2006 and then falling to just over $70,000 in 2008. The variation suggests that the Pacific regional allocation has not provided consistent commitments for analytical work. This has been to the detriment of the program given there are still gaps in the range of products required for a comprehensive country strategy document. Notable also is the significant growth in trust fund allocations for client services, growing from just $124,000 in 2001 to $1.5 million in 2012. Much of this money is for the J4P program with two full-time internationally recruited staff in country. Employing experienced development practitioners with strong community links had a significant impact on the quality of the work in the justice sector and more broadly in how it informed the Bank’s portfolio. 17. Bank group presence in the Solomon Islands has grown significantly since 2006 with the opening of the office in Honiara in 2008. Where the country was previously serviced from the regional hub in Sydney or from headquarters, there are now five permanent GE+ level staff based in Honiara. 18. Only four Bank operations from the portfolio were assessed by IEG (FY00– 12), and of these only 25 percent were rated satisfactory by number and less than 5 percent by amount. This correlates with the 75 percent 2012 (percent of commitment) risk profile and the very low rating for borrower performance, which is only 25 percent. Given the conflict and continued fragility, the results are not surprising though they do suggest the objectives were overly ambitious and possibly too complex for the development status of the country at the time. 57 APPENDIX F SOLOMON ISLANDS 1Allen,Matthew. 2011. “The Political Economy of Logging in Solomon Islands” in The Political Economy of Economic Reform in the Pacific, edited by Ron Duncan.

Republic of Yemen Country Context Socioeconomic Environment 1. The Republic of Yemen, formed in 1990 by uniting North and South Yemen, has huge geopolitical importance due to its location. It is bordered in the north by Saudi Arabia, the Red Sea to the west, the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea to the south, and Oman to the east. Arabic is the official language, with difficult internal communication due to its many remote valleys in a largely mountainous, arid country. Geography has contributed to Yemen’s limited arable land, increased water scarcity, and insufficient infrastructure. It is one of the most food and water insecure countries in the world. 2. Yemen’s population was estimated at 24.8 million in 2011, with a 53 percent unemployment rate leading to significantly high levels of emigration. Women continue to suffer from lack of access to basic social services and economic opportunities as well as high levels of gender-based violence. For the past six years, Yemen has ranked last in the Global Gender Gap Index, and remains close to the bottom (82 out of 86 countries) in the 2012 Social Institutions and Gender Index of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Drivers of Conflict and Fragility 3. The World Bank classified Yemen as fragile in 2003 and again since 2009, as reflected in the poor Country Policy and Institutional Assessment rating of 3.0. Yemen is located in an unstable neighborhood with weak institutions; poor press freedoms; strong ethnic, regional, tribal, and religious divisions; massive gender inequality; and a fragile economy and environment. 4. Yemen’s major economic resource, oil, is rapidly depleting. Big movements in oil prices create considerable volatility in government fiscal revenues; the weak state is unable to resist corruption or the extraction of private rents from the excessive pumping of underground water for irrigated agriculture. These factors, along with population growth, create an increasingly fragile environment. 5. The country remains politically very weak, with six domestic wars between 2004 and 2011 and several months of protest ultimately resulting in the departure of President Salah in December 2011. Prompted by the Arab Spring, these protests were a direct response to poor governance, high levels of corruption, and abuse of office. Central government is largely absent from remote areas allowing the 65 APPENDIX G YEMEN credibility of local councils to be undermined by state or tribal capture. Moreover, Yemen’s justice system is weak, allowing tribal leaders to assume a more active role in delivering justice, promoting political dialogue and building consensus among political groups, between tribes, with extractive companies, and with the government. Tribal leaders exercise significant discretion in interpreting and applying the law, and it is therefore difficult to assess tribal system contributions toward instability or state building. 6. Yemen’s standing on the various Worldwide Governance Indicators has either stagnated or declined over the past 12 years. The revolution and ensuing fragilities resulted in an ambitious two-year plan, launched by the authorities and widely supported by the international community. While the process is inclusive, the outcomes are still uncertain. World Bank Group Approach 7. In response to the FY03-06 Country Assistance Strategy Completion Report and IEG’s FY07 Country Program Evaluation, the Bank recognized the need to change its way of conducting business in Yemen and consequently focused on becoming more selective, using analysis strategically, ensuring dissemination of key knowledge products, providing continuity in its financial support to critical sectors of the economy, and building effective partnerships. 8. Over FY01–12, there was considerable analytical work comprising 51 separate pieces of economic and sector work and 35 technical assistance initiatives spread over the three themes: state building, building citizen capacity, and growth and jobs. These knowledge products and services focused on enhancing dissemination in key areas in order to better leverage support for major government reform priorities. These contributions would help authorities develop their strategy, align donor support around that strategy, provide financial support from the International Development Association (IDA) within this context, and in the process, forge effective partnerships with other agencies. BUILDING STATE CAPACITY 9. The World Bank saw a weak state as a key constraint to Yemen’s development and accordingly focused on improving the quality of governance, public financial management (PFM), and civil service reform. Over FY01–12, the World Bank committed $106.9 million in financing for state-building projects. Bank objectives included more professional civil service, decentralized authority in public service provision, improved judiciary system, and modern PFM. Financing included three Development Policy Lending programs, two for PSM, two civil service modernization projects, a district and community-driven development (CDD) project, and a FY99 approved Legal and Judicial Learning and Innovation Credit. In 66 APPENDIX G YEMEN FY09, Yemen became a pilot country for the Bank’s governance and anticorruption initiative, aimed at strengthening governance through innovative approaches. While Yemen achieved some progress in governance due to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative accession, Bank results were disappointing overall. Governance remains weak, civil service reform has yet to show results, and PFM has had minimal impact. These efforts were perhaps too complex, technocratic, without sufficient political will, and insufficiently focused on the need for public support. STRENGTHENING CITIZEN CAPACITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION 10. Over FY01–12, the World Bank provided considerable analytical and financial input, committing $495.5 million for strengthening human and social capital. Access to education has progressed at all levels, however quality improvements are less clear. While some support for higher education is in progress, vocational training did not receive adequate support. The Bank provided substantial IDA financing in health, but did not undertake sufficient analytical work, and there has been little progress on addressing population growth. Social protection was strongly supported. While CDD initiatives were successful, the Bank has not yet ensured sustainability of these efforts. Gender achieved favorable results through the Social Fund for Development (SFD) which includes targeting poor women. About half of SFD’s beneficiaries are female and about 12 percent are female households. A majority of SFD’s microfinance clients are also women. However, Yemen’s legal and judicial system received little support, and women continue to face severe legal constrains. Yemen remains one of the few countries with no gender nondiscrimination clause in the Constitution. Overall, Bank support for citizen capacity and social inclusion produced mixed results with good progress in some areas, but gaps in others. SUPPORT FOR GROWTH AND JOBS 11. The major share of IDA analytical work and financing has supported the development of growth and jobs, committing $1.05 billion in FY01–12. During the same period, IFC committed $168 million to support investments mainly in manufacturing and consumer and social sectors, as well as $15.4 million funding for advisory services activities. Progress on improving the investment climate and helping to diversify the economy was modest. The focus remained on increasing non-oil growth, improving fiscal sustainability, and addressing the resource sustainability crisis. While support significantly increased temporary employment, there was a lack of focus on sustainable livelihoods, long-term employment, and the role of women. Improvements in public works and the overall environment were more substantial. Projects in the water, agriculture, environment, transport, urban, and energy sectors made significant progress. Bank support for growth and jobs were overall successful, but important objectives were not achieved. Notably, there was little diversification of the economy away from oil and inadequate creation of 67 APPENDIX G YEMEN sustainable jobs. Migration to neighboring countries is an important livelihood strategy for the youth, but has received no attention. Yemen continues to face daunting challenges in view of rapid population growth, a lack of access to land, and an urgent need for economic diversification. 12. Overall, World Bank support showed favorable results in some areas, notably PFM, education, transport, temporary job creation, and service delivery through two autonomous institutions, the SFD and the Social Welfare Fund. Sustained efforts to address several important areas of fragility had limited impact on water, diversified growth, and governance. Support to government reform, justice, and skill development was provided early, but not maintained due to lack of government ownership. Additionally, security arrangements following the 2011 conflict seemed to exacerbate existing fragilities. The Bank withdrew country staff during the conflict, and disbursements were suspended, followed by a subsequent official suspension in the same year. Funding for client services declined from $8 million in FY10 to a post-conflict level of $4 million. Bank efforts to lessen use of enclave Project Management Units (PMUs) were unsuccessful as noted in successive country assistance strategy reports. The World Bank Portfolio FY06–12 reflected this in the $47 million spent in PMU costs of the total $1.7 billion in project costs. The Independent Evaluation Group assessed 39 programs during FY00–12, with 63 percent rated satisfactory. While progress is evident, Bank processes in fragile conditions are perceived by the client as overly complex and slow. Recent Developments 13. By the early 2000s, Yemen appeared poised for continued economic progress, with falling poverty and improving social indicators, but this trend did not last. Total budget for operational services increased steadily until the 2011 revolution at which point Bank budget decreased sharply. Lending declined to $421,000 compared with the initial $3.21 billion in FY01. Yemen is likely to remain fragile for some years with a high risk of renewed conflict as it confronts a wide range of intractable political, security, and economic issues. Nonetheless, the inclusive political process adopted for a national dialogue has led to an overall sense of optimism and hope for inclusive change, despite the many security, legitimacy, and capacity challenges. While the Bank’s number of active projects in Yemen has slightly declined since its 2011 pre-conflict peak, there were still 34 active projects in FY12, 50 percent higher than in FY01. 14. The Bank’s current focus is on strengthening foundations for public sector governance, improving the tax regime, maintaining investment law, restructuring the General Investment Authority, improving the fisheries sector, and supporting establishment of rural farm producer groups. An avenue for the bank to explore under the growth and jobs theme is the proactive management of migration as some other countries have done successfully. 68 APPENDIX G YEMEN Table G.1.

The Independent Evaluation group (IEG) conducted staff and stakeholder surveys to assess the responsiveness and effectiveness of the World Bank Group in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS). The surveys were fielded in July and August 2013 and were sent to 745 Bank Staff, 436 IFC and MIGA staff, and 316 stakeholders working on FCS issues. Responses were received from 143 Bank staff, 64 IFC and MIGA staff, and 60 stakeholders. 2. Bank, IFC, and MIGA staff included those at headquarters and in FCS country and regional offices. Stakeholders included donor representatives, government representatives, and other in-country stakeholders. If respondents worked on more than one fragile and conflict-affected country, they were asked to answer the survey for the country they were from or focused on most. 3. The survey was tailored for each of the two main groups. Stakeholders were asked about their knowledge of the World Bank’s FCS approach, the effectiveness of Bank support to FCS, and the relevance and evolution of the Bank’s approach. Bank, IFC, and MIGA staff received additional questions about their views on internal Bank support for FCS work. 4. The Bank staff survey consisted of 45 questions, and the stakeholder survey consisted of 22 questions with a 5- or 6-point response scale. An additional open- ended question accompanied each survey. The IFC and MIGA staff survey consisted of 38 open-ended and multiple choice questions. The response rate calculations in this analysis drop all missing entries from the denominator. 5. Key messages and results are highlighted below first for the Bank staff and stakeholder survey, followed by the IFC and MIGA survey. A complete list of survey questions is appended. Internal World Bank Support for FCS Work 6. Overall, Bank staff did not feel that FCS received an adequate bank budget in relation to the opportunities and challenges facing their country of focus (Figure H.1). 7. Bank staff are also divided on whether Bank lending, grant support, and nonlending support receive an adequate budget relative to other priorities: 44 percent of staff believed that lending and grant support receives an adequate budget to a 77 APPENDIX H PERCEPTION SURVEY OF WORLD BANK GROUP STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS moderate or large extent whereas 48 percent believed that it receives an adequate budget to a slight extent or not at all. Similarly, almost half believed that nonlending support receives an adequate budget to a moderate or large extent. 8. A large proportion of staff working on FCS issues experienced no improvements with respect to the following human resource matters: overall career prospects, overall compensation, realism in expectations by Bank management about what can be accomplished, and efforts made by the Bank to ensure personal safety and security. However, consistent with the 2006 IEG evaluation of the Low-Income Countries Under Stress initiative, safety and security was identified as the area where the largest proportion of staff (36 percent) experienced improvements. Figure H.1. Overall Level of Bank Budget Available to FCS 80 60 Percentage 40 20 0 Adequate or more than Less than adequate Do not know adequate Response 9. Disaggregating these results by FCS country and regional offices and by locally and internationally hired staff reflected some nuances in perception of human resource matters. In relation to the Bank-wide survey average, a larger proportion of staff in FCS country and regional offices experienced improvements on all aspects of human resources, with the greatest improvements identified in safety and security matters (41 percent of staff). 10. Staff hired internationally and based in FCS country or regional offices experienced greater improvements in overall career prospects (24 percent) and overall compensation (35 percent) in relation to locally hired staff and the Bank survey average. However, almost half of internationally hired staff indicated no change in their overall career prospects, overall compensation, and realism in expectations by Bank management. 78 APPENDIX H PERCEPTION SURVEY OF WORLD BANK GROUP STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS 11. Bank staff are not sufficiently informed on the role of the Center on Conflict, Security and Development (CCSD). Almost a third of respondents indicated that they did not have enough information to answer questions relevant to CCSD. A third of respondents (35 percent) felt that CCSD provided substantive support for fragility assessments and CASs to a large or moderate extent. On the other hand, a large proportion of staff (45 percent) felt that CCSD has been to a slight extent or not all effective on providing substantive support for projects. 12. Most staff believed they were familiar with the World Bank’s approach in FCS; 79 percent said they were familiar to a large or moderate extent. Of these staff, 46 percent was based in headquarters whereas 54 percent was based in FCS country offices and other regional offices. Effectiveness of World Bank Support 13. Among staff and stakeholders, the Bank is seen to have made a positive contribution to development in FCS countries. 14. Almost two-thirds of staff and over half of stakeholders felt that Bank financial support has achieved its intended results, whereas half of staff and stakeholders felt that analytical work and technical assistance has achieved its intended results. 15. A large proportion of staff and stakeholders felt that the Bank has made a small or large positive contribution to service delivery and government capacity in their FCS country of focus. However, a third of stakeholders (30 percent) and almost half of staff (48 percent) felt that the Bank has defined clear and monitorable indicators to measure success in FCS only to a slight extent or not at all. Relevance and Evolution of the World Bank’s Approach 16. In the last two years, the Bank’s approach to development in FCS is seen to have undergone positive change. A majority of respondents to the stakeholder and staff surveys noted an improvement over the past two years, to a large or moderate extent, on the Bank’s understanding of the following issues: the country’s political economy, the country’s conflict drivers, other drivers of fragility in the country, and effectiveness in pursuing donor collaboration (Figure H.2). 79 APPENDIX H PERCEPTION SURVEY OF WORLD BANK GROUP STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS Figure H.2.

Staff overwhelmingly believed that World Bank country offices and visiting missions made a positive contribution in supporting development in FCS. Among stakeholders, 91 percent felt that World Bank country offices made a positive contribution, and a smaller proportion (67 percent) felt that visiting missions made a positive contribution to development in their country of focus (Table H.1). 18. Staff and stakeholders were also asked what, in their opinion, is the single, most important thing the Bank Group should do to increase the effectiveness of its support to FCS. While the responses varied substantially, some of the following themes were most prominent: • The need for more substantial analysis of conflict drivers and country context • Greater flexibility in Bank policies and procedures • Less risk-averse decision making by the Bank and its staff Table H.1.

Over two-thirds of respondents felt that IFC investments, MIGA guarantees, and IFC Advisory Services (AS) had been timely, and had addressed key constraints for the private sector and for growth and employment generation to a large or moderate extent. However, slightly less than half felt that the above instruments had achieved their intended results to a large or moderate extent. 20. A large proportion of respondents believed that project monitoring had been successful; almost two-thirds of respondents believed that project monitoring provided relevant information for changes needed during project implementation to a large or moderate extent. Over half felt that IFC and MIGA acted on information from project monitoring to address FCS-specific risks. 21. Respondents were less optimistic about how well IFC and MIGA instruments had been adapted to the reality and constraints in FCS. IFC AS were seen as most adapted to FCS contexts (Figure H.3).

Respondents were also divided on the level of adaption of IFC and MIGA operational policies to FCS contexts. Over half of respondents felt that project appraisal had been adapted to a slight extent or not at all to the low capacity or high risk environments of FCS whereas half the respondents felt that project supervision had been adapted to FCS environments to a large or moderate extent. 81 APPENDIX H PERCEPTION SURVEY OF WORLD BANK GROUP STAFF AND STAKEHOLDERS 23. Similar to Bank staff, a large proportion of IFC and staff working on FCS issues experienced no improvements with respect to the following human resource matters: overall career prospects, overall compensation, level of support from IFC and MIGA management, and efforts made by the Bank to ensure personal safety and security. However, approximately a third of respondents experienced improvements in safety and security, and management support. In relation to the overall survey average, a larger proportion of respondents in FCS country and regional offices experienced improvements in overall compensation (25 percent), level of support from management (33 percent), and personal security and safety (43 percent).

Fragile and Conflict-Affected States Status and the Millennium Development Goals Summary 1. The 2011 World Development Report (WDR) warned that conflict and violence would prevent the FCS countries from achieving any of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). However, a report released in the same year by the Center for Global Development (CGD), drawing on World Development Indicators (WDI) data, found that some FCS were progressing at an adequate pace to achieve several of the MDG targets. Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) estimates from these country-level data that FCS as a group (both Always and Partial) were on track to achieve an average of three out of the eight targets analyzed. Always FCS were projected to achieve the fewest MDGs compared to the Partial and Never FCS groups. 2. The average country in the Always FCS group is expected to achieve fewer than two targets. FCS were most likely to meet the environmental sustainability goal of halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water. On the other hand, the Always FCS group has made less progress in the areas of poverty reduction and prevention of HIV/AIDS. Guinea is the only country in the Always FCS group that is projected to meet the poverty reduction goal. Seven FCS are not projected to meet any of the goals, but four of these will make at least 50 percent progress toward one or more goals. 3. A substantial gap exists between FCS and Never FCS in maternal and child health. In 2010, the latest year of available data in the WDI, infant mortality stood at 71 per 1,000 live births in FCS countries while the rate was only 53 in Never FCS countries. The maternal mortality rate in FCS countries is also much higher; 534 deaths per 100,000 live births in FCS versus only 350 in Never FCS. In terms of women’s empowerment, girls face more limited access to education in FCS, with a 10 percent gap between male and female youth literacy in FCS countries compared to only a 2 percent gap in the Never FCS group. 4. The Never FCS group is expected to meet four of the targets on average. Unlike the FCS, the Never FCS group is most likely to meet the health-related goals: 80 percent of them are expected to reduce child mortality by two-thirds and maternal mortality by three-quarters, which is double the proportion of FCS which will do so. In the Never FCS group, African countries stand out as the low performers: Kenya, Madagascar, and Tanzania will likely achieve only two out of 87 APPENDIX I FCS STATUS AND MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS eight goals studied. Small islands like Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia also do poorly compared to the rest of the Never FCS group, but other island states stand out as relatively good performers among the Partial FCS group. Overall, no particular region may be said to be progressing most toward the MDGs as there is substantial variation within each region, but FCS as a whole do worse than other IDA countries. Figure I.1.

For a detailed description of each goal and target, see Table I.8. b. Percentages show the share of countries in the group which are expected to make at least 50 percent progress toward the goal by 2015. Introduction 5. The 2011 WDR warned that conflict and violence would prevent the FCS countries from achieving any of the MDGs. However, a report released in the same year by the CGD drawing on WDI data found that many FCS countries were progressing at an adequate pace to achieve at least a few of the MDG targets. 6. It is clear from the data reported in Table I.1 that the FCS perform poorly compared to the Never FCS group across several key Millennium Development Indicators. This is particularly true in the area of health: Weighted by population, child and maternal mortality are roughly 50 percent more common in the Always and Partial FCS group than in the Never FCS group. In terms of gender equality, the gap between male and female youth literacy is larger (10 percentage points compared to 2) in FCS than Never FCS. 7. On the other hand, nearly identical performance on some of the indicators raises questions about the claim that the FCS will not achieve any of the MDGs. The percentage of the population living on less than $1.25 a day is roughly equal. Access to sanitation and clean water as a percentage of the total population is comparable, 88 APPENDIX I FCS STATUS AND MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS although slightly lower in FCS. FCS actually have a greater number of mobile phone subscriptions per person than do Never FCS. Table I.1.

Data for poverty headcount is drawn from most recent available year, not necessarily 2010. 8. This background note reports how each group (Always, Partial, or Never FCS) performs in terms of MDG progress according to the CGD’s Index. First, this note analyzes each group by showing the performance of each individual country in the group plus IEG’s calculation of the average progress of each group. The discussion of each group’s progress also includes a breakdown of which of the eight targets in the CGD analysis the countries are likely to meet and highlights strongest and weakest performers. The analysis of each group’s progress is followed by a conclusion comparing the groups. Methodology of the CGD Millennium Development Goal Progress Index 9. The CGD’s MDG Progress Index compares countries’ performance across seven of the MDGs to the annual rate of progress needed to achieve each goal by 2015. The eighth goal, creating a global partnership for development, is not included. Instead, goal one is broken in two, and indicators for both poverty reduction and malnutrition have been included in the Index. Each country receives one point for each of the eight targets it is on track to achieve. Developing countries may receive half a point if they are achieving significant progress (at least 50 percent) toward the goal but will not meet it. CGD argues that this is appropriate given that some targets were written in such a way that they were extremely difficult to reach for countries starting from a low baseline. The Index assumes that progress toward each goal is linear, so an average rate of improvement each year by each country is calculated and compared to the constant yearly increment needed to reach the goal. Data come from the most recent data available as of 2011, and improvements are forecasted to continue at their pace as of 2011 until the 2015 89 APPENDIX I FCS STATUS AND MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS deadline. The following discussion presents IEG’s findings for each group based on CGD’s scores. ALWAYS FCS 10. On average, Always FCS is expected to meet only two of the eight targets. The weakest performers among the Always FCS group are Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Somalia. Afghanistan, Central African Republic, and Guinea-Bissau follow close behind (Table I.2). The best performers are Comoros and Guinea, who are tied for the 62nd rank. This maximum does not even reach the average scores of the Partial and Never FCS groups. Always FCS also has the least data available on average. Data for Kosovo are missing entirely. Table I.2.

For Always FCS, Table I.3 shows how many of the 20 (Kosovo data not available) will meet or achieve 50 percent or more progress toward each indicator. Always FCS are doing best on goal 1C: To halve the undernourished population and goal 7: to halve to proportion of people without access to safe drinking water. While no country among the Always FCS is on track to achieve goal 3: eliminating gender disparities in primary enrollment, eight countries will make significant progress in that direction. Poverty reduction and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS are the two goals in which the group has made the least progress overall. Figure I.2 reports the progress of Always FCS toward each goal visually. 90 APPENDIX I FCS STATUS AND MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS Table I.3.

Note: For a detailed description of each goal and target, see Table I.8. PARTIAL FCS 12. On average, Partial FCS are predicted to meet about four of the eight goals. Among the Partial FCS group, Cambodia performs best, and is expected to meet six targets and make at least 50 percent progress toward another. Djibouti and Yemen are the farthest behind, each only likely to achieve two of the goals. Some issues of data availability in the small island states of Kiribati, Tonga, and Vanuatu affect their scores. 13. As a group, Partial FCS do much better than the Always FCS group. These countries perform particularly well toward goal 7 and goal 3. HIV/AIDS is the target where these countries fall shortest. While only two countries will meet the maternal health target outright, 7 more of the 12 will make significant progress. NEVER FCS 14. On average, Never FCS are predicted to meet four of the eight targets by 2015. Honduras and Sri Lanka do best among the Never FCS group. Honduras is on track to meet seven of the goals while Sri Lanka will likely meet six. Never FCS face fewer issues of data availability than their FCS counterparts, with the exceptions of Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. Data are missing for Tuvalu. 91 APPENDIX I FCS STATUS AND MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS Table I.4.

The Never FCS do better than the other groups, especially in goal 3 and goal 4, gender equality and child mortality. Like the FCS, they do poorly in halting the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Almost all IDA countries are on track to achieve at least 50 percent progress toward at least one major MDG target, according to the CGD analysis. The overall finding of IEG’s study of performance by group is that while Always FCS group is less likely than the other two groups to achieve the eight targets in the index (Figure I.5), for every indicator, at least one or more FCS country will meet the target. There is no discernible trend by region in terms of strong and weak performers across the country groups. The goal most likely to be achieved by all three groups is the environmental sustainability goal of clean water access. The goal of halting the spread of HIV/AIDS is least likely to be met by the FCS countries. While countries experiencing fragility and conflict are progressing more slowly toward the MDGs, but for no single indicator is every FCS country likely to miss the target. 94 APPENDIX I FCS STATUS AND MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS Figure I.5.

Assessing the Relationship Between Development Policy Loans and Country Policy and Institutional Assessment Ratings Introduction 1. The evaluation undertook an analysis of the relationship between measurable improvements in Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) ratings and the incidence of Development Policy lending (DPL) in IDA-only countries that are FCS. The evaluation used descriptive statistics and regression analysis to examine the relationship between DPL in FY05–13 and changes in CPIA ratings in 26 FCS IDA countries (eliminating the small island states where DPL is not prevalent). First, change in CPIA ratings for each country was compared with the number of DPLs and the number of years during FY05–11 in which these operations were approved. Almost all of these countries received one DPL in a year, so there was almost complete overlap between the number of operations and the number of years during which these operations were approved. Second, the data on changes in CPIA ratings are plotted against the number of years with at least one DPL. Third, the data on change in CPIA ratings was regressed against the number of operations and the number of years when DPLs were approved. Finally, the incidence and regularity of DPL was compared with changes within the four clusters of indicators in the CPIA dataset, to examine if any of them were more strongly associated with budget support. 2. DPLs are designed to support improvement in a range of policies and institutions of a country. But the reforms supported by a DPL may or may not be directly reflected in CPIA ratings. Sometimes DPLs have cross-cutting policy and institutional objectives with broad overlap with CPIA indicators, sometimes they focus on narrow sector issues The overall conclusion of this report is that for FCS with a population over 1 million, there is a significant correlation between the regularity of DPLs, i.e., the number of years with at least one DPL and improvements in CPIA score over the period FY05–11. Descriptive Statistics 3. The data for this analysis are for DPLs to IDA countries from FY05–11. A DPL is recorded as being in a given year if it was approved in that fiscal year. The period FY05–11 was chosen because CPIA ratings were changed in 2005 so earlier years’ 97 APPENDIX J ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT POLICY LOANS AND CPIA RATINGS ratings are not comparable. Data on CPIA scores is missing for Somalia (Always FCS), Sri Lanka (Never FCS), and Tuvalu (Never FCS). 4. The 21 Always FCS received a total of 47 DPLs from FY05 to FY11, or 2.2 on average. The Always FCS country with the most DPLs was Sierra Leone, with seven total. For Partial FCS, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic also received seven, and all Partial FCS together received 23, averaging 1.9 per country. Never FCS received more DPLs on average at about 4.1 per country (123 total for 30 countries). The country among the Never FCS that was given the most DPLs was Ghana, with 13. Of the 32 Always or Partial FCS, 25 (78 percent) received at least one DPL from FY05– 11. Of the 30 Never FCS, 24 (80 percent) received at least one DPL in the period. 5. One concern is that DPLs provided for arrears clearance or unconditional support at the beginning of Bank reengagement with a country might not have the same effect as DPLs designed to reform policies and institutions. Only two such loans were made to IDA countries from FY05–11: to Republic of Congo which is Always FCS and Samoa which is Never FCS and these were eliminated from the analysis. 6. One of the most important factors in the efficacy of DPLs may be their predictability to allow countries to be able to plan their budgets realistically. Figure J.1 shows that most FCS which received DPLs had roughly one DPL per year, rather than several at once. Even in countries like Lao PDR and Sierra Leone, with many DPLs, the maximum number of DPLs in a year was two.

Note: Data for the regularity of DPLs in FCS countries, FY05–11. Blue indicates the total number of DPLs received over the period while red shows the number of years from FY05–11 in which the country received at least one DPL. 7. For Never FCS IDA countries, the regularity story of DPLs is much the same as it is for the FCS. Most countries received a few DPLs in each year, spaced out over several years. Bangladesh, which received four DPLs in 2008, is somewhat of an exception, as it received 12 DPLs over only five years. When a country receives relatively many DPLs in a year it is usually because the DPLs are divided up to target particular sectors of the economy, as Bangladesh’s were in 2008. Other than Bangladesh the countries with lots of DPLs had one or two DPLs in every year from FY05–11. DPLs and CPIA Improvements 8. Of the 12 FCS (Always and Partial) which received three DPLs or more in the seven year period, 10 of them improved by 0.15-0.4 points and none of them saw a decrease in CPIA. Of the 20 countries with less than three DPLs, nine lost more than 0.1 points in CPIA, and two gained between 0 and 0.1. Of the nine countries with fewer than three DPLs that gained more than 0.1 points, five (Comoros, São Tomé and Príncipe, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu) are small island countries which have very high levels of official development assistance (ODA) per capita, which make them less dependent on DPLs. Since small states rarely receive DPLs they are excluded from the analysis. Figure J.3 shows the number of DPLs in FCS and the change in their CPIA rating from FY05–11, excluding the small island states. 99 APPENDIX J ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT POLICY LOANS AND CPIA RATINGS Figure J.3.

Note: Number of DPLs and CPIA change from FY05–11 in Always and Partial FCS excluding countries with population less than 1 million in 2013. 9. Looking at the performance of FCS by change in CPIA offers another possible explanation of good performance. Besides the small island states relying on large amounts of bilateral ODA per capital, some good performers like Cambodia, Gambia, and Timor-Leste, which have much higher economic growth than the FCS average, received very few DPLs. Controlling for small island states and high growth countries, there is a significant association in FCS between DPLs and CPIA improvement. Among FCS, the relative importance of budget support seems to matter as does the regularity and number of DPLs received by individual countries. 10. For Never FCS, no obvious relationship is seen between CPIA changes and the number of DPLs in a country (Figure J.4). Many Never FCS with a relatively large number of DPLs saw their scores decline from FY05–11, while some like Rwanda saw large improvements. 11. Contrasting the scatter plots (Figure J.5) for FCS and Never FCS comparing the number of years with at least one DPL and the CPIA change over the period emphasizes the difference between FCS and Never FCS. In FCS, a loose, positive relationship between the DPL years and CPIA change is apparent. In countries that were never classified as FCS (Never FCS), DPLs do not seem to explain the CPIA movements (or vice versa). Below we briefly consider two explanations for the lack of a relationship in Never FCS countries. An in-depth investigation of the source of this difference between FCS and non-FCS is beyond the scope of this note; it is 100 APPENDIX J ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT POLICY LOANS AND CPIA RATINGS certainly an interesting result and may suggest DPLs are provided more effectively in FCS countries. Figure J.4.

Note: Number of DPLs and CPIA change from FY05–11 in Always and Partial FCS excluding countries with population less than 1 million in 2013. 12. The first possible explanation is that FCS, which by definition started from a lower baseline CPIA score than Never FCS, had greater increases simply because of this low baseline. This does not appear to be the case. Of the top 20 IDA countries by CPIA increase from FY05–11, 11 are Never FCS. Additionally, the maximum increase in both groups was roughly the same, at around 0.5 points over seven years. On the other hand, the average and median increase in FCS were slightly larger (0.09 and 0.12, respectively) than Never FCS (0.01 and 0.02, respectively). Given that so many top performers in terms of increase were Never FCS, however, this argument does not seem to be substantiated. 13. A second, perhaps more plausible explanation lies in FCS dependence on DPLs as a source of funding. Because of weak capacity and their greater reliance on IDA funding, FCS may have greater incentives to comply with DPL requirements and improve institutions than Never FCS. Again, the greater correlation between CPIA improvements and DPLs in FCS compared to Never FCS merits further investigation. 14. The next section uses ordinary least squares regression analysis the further investigate the correlation between DPLs and changes in CPIA score over the FY05– 11 period. 101 APPENDIX J ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT POLICY LOANS AND CPIA RATINGS Figure J.5.

Regression Analysis 15. It appears that IDA countries with more DPLs have higher CPIA ratings (Figure J.6). This would seem to suggest that DPLs reduce fragility or otherwise improve economic policies, structural policies, social inclusion, or public sector management. The correlation might well run the other way, however, as DPLs are designed to reward good policies and institutions. Figure J.6.

Various regressions were conducted to understand the correlation between DPLs and CPIA ratings. First, the relationship between CPIA change and the total number of DPLs was investigated (Table J.1). The relationship is statistically significant and negative when all IDA countries (FCS and Never FCS, including the small island states) are taken together. Column 1 reports these results. With 90 percent confidence, for every DPL to an IDA country from FY05–11, the country’s CPIA score was predicted to fall, on average 0.22 points. When FCS and Never FCS are analyzed separately, this negative relationship disappears. Table J.1.

Note: Robust standard errors in parentheses. *p<0.1, ** p<0.05, *** p<0.01. 17. The figures in Part A suggest that small states, especially small island states, are anomalies in terms of the relationship between DPLs and CPIA, possibly due to foreign aid. Table J.2 reports the same regression results as above, but this time after excluding the 11 small states (with population less than 1 million). The Always FCS removed were Comoros and Solomon Islands. The Partial FCS removed were Kiribati, São Tomé and Príncipe, Tonga, and Vanuatu. The Never FCS removed were Guyana, Maldives, Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Samoa, and Tuvalu. 18. The results of these regressions are more conclusive. FCS display a statistically significant, positive relationship between the total number of DPLs and CPIA score (Table J.2). To test whether the regularity (number of years with at least one DPLs) is also related to CPIA score, as hypothesized in Part A, additional regressions were conducted and reported in Table J.3. In fact, the results for number of years with a DPL are the most conclusive (to a 1 percent significance level), suggesting that one additional year with at least one DPL is predicted to correlate with a 0.07 point greater change in CPIA from FY05–11. The effect for Never FCS and the IDA countries as a whole is not significant. The total number of DPLs also has a statistically significant effect on CPIA score for FCS (excluding small states), but is significant to a 5 percent level only. Interestingly, this suggests that getting 103 APPENDIX J ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT POLICY LOANS AND CPIA RATINGS one DPL correlates better with CPIA improvements than total number of DPLs an FCS country receives, casting doubt on the marginal effect of additional DPLs Table J.2.

Note: Robust standard errors in parentheses. *p<0.1, ** p<0.05, *** p<0.01. Effect of Programmatic DPLs 19. If the regularity of DPLs matters, it may also be the case that offering programmatic series of DPLs over a number of years is even more effective, as it provides more predictable budget support to the recipient country and reforms are implemented incrementally. A programmatic series of DPLs is a series of individual budget support operations, typically single tranche annual operations, which support a series of incremental or linked reforms over time. Examples include the series of Poverty Reduction Strategy Credits providing annual budget support of poverty reduction strategies in many low-income countries, or the Programmatic Support for Institution Building Credits in Afghanistan. Of the 62 countries in the 104 APPENDIX J ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT POLICY LOANS AND CPIA RATINGS sample, 29 received at least one programmatic series of DPLs from FY05–11. Of these 29, 11 were FCS countries. The countries with programmatic series were also the countries that received the most DPLs overall among the FCS countries. Thus separating out the added benefit (if any) of programmatic series would be difficult. Given the collinearity between number of DPLs and presence of programmatic series of DPLs, however, it should not be concluded that programmatic series necessarily contribute to CPIA improvements in FCS countries. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that no FCS country with a programmatic series saw its CPIA score fall. 20. The results of the regressions are initially encouraging, because it seems that DPLs do correlate with improvements in country policies and institutions. However, the causality might well run the other way: Countries with high CPIA ratings might be more likely to get DPLs than FCS countries. This explanation is also plausible because of the delayed nature of the CPIA ratings. What is published as the rating in 2006, for example, is based on the situation in the country in 2004. This means that a country which was doing well two years ago may have received a DPL, and this relationship shows up in 2006 with a higher rating and a DPL approved in the same year. However, the relationship between CPIA score two years after a DPL was investigated and the DPL yielded no statistically significant results for FCS excluding the small states. Variations by CPIA Cluster 21. Given the relationship between CPIA change and DPLs in FCS countries, it is also worth investigating which cluster of CPIA correlates most with DPLs. A reasonable expectation here is that the Economic Management cluster, which includes subratings for macroeconomic management, debt policy, and fiscal policy, would correlate more strongly with DPLs. This is because in order to be eligible for a DPL, countries must have an IMF program, or at least a letter of comfort from the IMF, indicating an acceptable level of macroeconomic management. Of course, economic performance is only one factor in determining whether a country is given a DPL. Countries without budget shortfalls, particularly resource-rich countries, are unlikely to seek out or receive DPLs. Economic management, therefore, may be seen as a necessary but not sufficient condition for a country to receive a DPL. 22. In fact, improvement in Public Sector Management scores correlate most with DPLs in FCS countries. As with the overall CPIA, the number of years with one or more DPLs has a stronger relationship with changes in the PSM score than the total number of DPLs a country received. Each additional year with one or more DPLs is correlated with a 0.1 point increase in the Public Sector Management score for FCS countries, excluding small states. The relationship with the other clusters, including 105 APPENDIX J ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT POLICY LOANS AND CPIA RATINGS Economic Management, is relatively weak but some positive linear trend may be seen for FCS countries. 23. As part of the research for this note, a further investigation was conducted into the subindicator ratings for each cluster, but this research yielded little further insight since these subindicators mostly changed in increments of 0.5 or 1 over the period. Together with the fact that the number of DPLs ranged from zero to seven only, this yielded little variation in the data across countries so determining a relationship was difficult. Conclusion 24. Taken together, these results suggest DPLs, particularly the regularity of DPLs, do correlate with CPIA improvements for FCS countries. Small states, especially island countries, are anomalies, likely due to the high volume of aid they receive. As such, most of them received no DPLs while two of them received a single one. 25. Having regular DPLs, regardless of the number in a given year, is related to a CPIA increase of 0.07 points on average for FCS. Countries with many DPLs like Lao PDR and Sierra Leone achieved even greater increases, between 0.2 and 0.4 points. Of the four clusters, Public Sector Management is most highly associated with DPLs. This could be because governance reforms, unlike changes to social or structural policies, may be most responsive to DPL actions. However, these correlations cannot be inferred as causal based on the analysis conducted here. It is very possible that countries which perform better in CPIA terms get more DPLs and that is the relationship captured by the regression analysis. It is likely that number of DPLs and CPIA improvements, and improvements in each cluster, are to an extent mutually causal and affect each other simultaneously. The interesting finding that the relationship is much weaker—in fact not significant at all—in Never FCS also merits further investigation. 106 Appendix K. World Bank Assistance to Agriculture in Low-Income Fragile and Conflict- Affected States 1. The vast majority of operations in Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS) fall under the growth and jobs pillar of this evaluation. International Development Association (IDA) assistance from the World Bank to Always FCS focused frequently on emergency projects which— though often leading to satisfactory outcomes—were only modestly strategic for achieving long-term sustained growth and employment. Conflict and Fragility Damage the Institutions that Support Agriculture 2. Agriculture, rural development, and land policy are bound together in an integrated institutional system. Weak institutions are typically the cause for low Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) ratings and hence FCS status because institutions that support agriculture are often damaged by conflict, resulting in the sector’s fragility. The following are some examples of impacts on vital agricultural institutions during conflict: • Production infrastructure systems (e.g., irrigation systems, water supplies for livestock) are destroyed • The supply chains for factors of production (e.g., fertilizer, seeds, fuel, chemicals) are disrupted because traders reduce exposure to risk; productivity is compromised • Rural communities are torn apart making the enabling environment for production fragile (e.g., farmers are caught between warring factions and endangered by land mines) and productivity is reduced • Marketing systems are disrupted (e.g., through destruction of roads, community and village markets) and farmer incomes decline. 3. Additionally, rights to land are abrogated by new political structures, or, a collapse of the rule of law may lead to confiscation of farm land making land rights more uncertain and increasing investment risks. Access to primary social services (e.g., education, health) is also constrained. Attendance becomes more costly 107 APPENDIX K WORLD BANK ASSISTANCE TO AGRICULTURE IN FCS COUNTRIES because local movement is dangerous, leading to reduced human capital development. Characteristics of the Agricultural Sector in IDA Countries 4. The agricultural sector in Always FCS is relatively more important than in other IDA countries. Gross domestic product (GDP) generated from agriculture between 2000 and 2011 was on average 30 percent of total GDP in countries that are Always FCS compared with those that are Partial FCS or Never FCS which both generate 23 percent of total GDP from agriculture on average. 5. Growth of GDP from agriculture in Always FCS has been lower than in other IDA countries since 2000. Trends in gross agricultural production for the three FCS country groupings reveal different average levels of production growth among them.1 Average growth rates of agricultural GDP in Always FCS were 2 to 3 percent per annum (typically around the population growth rate) compared with 5 to 6 percent per annum in Partial FCS and 2 to 5 percent in Never FCS. The widest distribution of growth rates was among Never FCS, caused mainly by the low performance of the agricultural sector in Sahelian countries such as Mali, Niger, and Mauritania. It is significant, however, that the average growth rate for agriculture in Always FCS tended to increase after the mid-2000s (see Figure K.1).2 6. Agriculture is the most likely source of jobs in conflict affected situations.3 Analysis of household surveys shows that strong growth in the agricultural sector results in higher income growth for the poorest groups and poverty reduction. Low growth in the agricultural sector has stimulated migration from rural to urban areas, leading to high rates of urban population growth and a high proportion of the population in urban areas in Always FCS countries. 7. Agricultural productivity is lower in the Always FCS group compared with the other two groups. Indexes of cereal yields in Always FCS are about half the average of yields in the other two groups. A feature of the trends in cereal yields in all FCS groupings is their high variability and virtually no growth. The Sahel again stands out with low yields because agricultural production technology is substantially lower than in other regions. Weak technology is clearly a serious matter and a cause for economic fragility for all IDA countries. It underscores the fact that growth in production is mainly attributable to increases in the area harvested — usually in soil and environments that are marginally suitable for cereal production (such as in Sudan and Mali), or through clearing sub-tropical forests 108 APPENDIX K WORLD BANK ASSISTANCE TO AGRICULTURE IN FCS COUNTRIES (such as the “slash and burn” systems in Cameroon). The expansion of cropping to marginal areas has become a serious environmental concern in Africa because it results in increased fragility of the agricultural sector.4 Figure K.1. Compound Annual Growth Rate Agriculture Value Added 2000–2005 versus 2006– 2011 (percentage) Source: IEG computations based on World Development Indicators. 8. The share of employment in agriculture in Always FCS ranges from 40 to 70 percent. Despite the somewhat lower average importance of the agricultural sector in the other two groups, employment in agriculture as a share of total employment is still high for many, ranging from 30 to 80 percent. There is no apparent association between the extent of conflict and fragility in IDA countries and the share of employment in agriculture. However, the data available on both employment in agriculture and GDP per capita do show that, for a cross section of IDA countries, as per capita total GDP increases, the share of the labor force employed in agriculture declines.5 9. Access to rural roads is weak in all FCS. A major constraint for farmers in IDA countries and in particular for FCS is the distance from social services and markets due to inadequate rural road networks. This isolation is a major cause for poverty and fragility in rural areas. Figures K.2 and K.3 show data available from the IDA indicators on the percentage of the rural population with access to an all- season road in FCS and Never FCS.6 Although the number of countries for which data are available is small, a comparison of the two figures suggests that access is slightly better in Always and Partial FCS compared with Never FCS, but the differences in access between the two groups are small. However, with the exception 109 APPENDIX K WORLD BANK ASSISTANCE TO AGRICULTURE IN FCS COUNTRIES of Zambia, the data show that access to all season roads is much poorer among IDA countries in Sub-Saharan Africa than in IDA countries outside Sub-Saharan Africa. Nepal (a Partial FCS) with only 17 percent of the population having access to all- season roads has problems similar to Sub-Saharan Africa. Figure K.2.

Lack of clarity on land rights can lead to conflict and fragility in rural areas. Agrarian history is littered with conflict over land rights. It has been estimated that less than 20 percent of occupied land in Sub-Saharan Africa is registered.7 In most IDA countries in Sub-Saharan Africa there are traditional systems of customary land rights but arrangements for the access to and transfer of rights are often fragile because of a lack of agreement over interpretations of customary and statutory laws and the powers to enforce them. For example, at the root of the civil war in the Darfur region of in Sudan was the conflict between pastoralists (nomadic herders) who traditionally moved from North Darfur to South Darfur and beyond during the dry season to provide grazing for their livestock. In the past the nomads had used the region’s vast common rangelands for grazing but as these areas became more frequently used by farmers for crop production, the farmers challenged the right of the nomads to use rangelands for grazing that had been transformed to agriculture 110 APPENDIX K WORLD BANK ASSISTANCE TO AGRICULTURE IN FCS COUNTRIES use. The nomads objected to this constraint on their traditional grazing rights, leading to decades of conflict and violence. 11. The Bank is addressing land rights issues in FCS. In May 2012, under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Committee on Food Security endorsed “Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries, and Forests in the Context of National Food Security.” Since then, the Bank, the United Nations, and a number of development partners have formulated the Land Governance Assessment Framework, which is a diagnostic tool to help evaluate the legal framework, policies, and practices regarding land governance, and to monitor improvement over time.8 There are no outcomes from this work yet, but it will address causes of conflict and fragility in many FCS.

World Bank Assistance to Address Fragility in FCS ANALYTICAL WORK 12. The basis for Bank assistance to agriculture provided in Always FCS has not always been strategic. Table K.1 shows the comparisons between the timing of agricultural sector analysis and agriculture and rural development (ARD) 111 APPENDIX K WORLD BANK ASSISTANCE TO AGRICULTURE IN FCS COUNTRIES investment for Always FCS. It shows that for the Always FCS as a group there were only six out of 21 countries in the group for which there was an analytical document on future strategy for the agricultural sector. In the six countries where formal agricultural sector reports were prepared, they were timely except in Liberia where the first investment operation during (after the resolution of the conflict) was approved prior to the completion of the sector report. The conclusion is that whereas the majority of Always FCS emergency investment projects were quickly prepared and approved under emergency procedures, their design was not framed in the context of a medium- to longer-term strategy. For some countries where no formal sector analysis was available, notes on specific subsectors were prepared and they provided the rationale for specific projects such as in Sudan.9 INVESTMENT PROJECTS 13. During FY01–12, there were 336 IDA investments in agricultural and rural development with a total commitment of $10.4 billion. Table K.2 shows that total lending for ARD averaged 12 percent of total IDA commitments. The percentage varied relatively little between FCS groupings. Figure K.4 shows the trends in commitments between FY01 and FY12. 14. For the agricultural portfolio alone, Table K.3 shows that core agriculture investments such as support for rehabilitation of agricultural production and strengthening relevant institutions such as drought management, horticulture, and livestock production systems, as well as a few projects focused on land administration in the three FCS groupings made up between 37 and 79 percent of the total ARD portfolio, while irrigation accounted for 7 to 19 percent,10 and infrastructure (which excludes rural roads) 1 to 3 percent. The main difference between the projects in Always FCS and those in Partial FCS and Never FCS was that 55 percent of the Always FCS portfolio was allocated to community-driven development (CDD) type projects. The dominant contributor to this large allocation was the National Solidarity Program in Afghanistan which cost $1.45 billion or 91percent of all CDD projects in Always FCS. 112 APPENDIX K WORLD BANK ASSISTANCE TO AGRICULTURE IN FCS COUNTRIES Table K.1.

For example growth of the agricultural production index for Afghanistan declined from 5.1 percent pa during 2000 –2005 to 2.7 percent per annum between 2005 and 2011. On the other hand for Togo for the same two periods it increased from 1.8 percent per annum to 5.1 percent per annum. 3World Development Report, 2011, page 162. 4Shoghik Hovshannisyan analyzed labor productivity measured by GDP per worker in agriculture on a PPP basis but found no differences between FCS and never FCS. 5This issue has been discussed in more detail in the main report. 6Access to an all-season road is measured as the proportion of rural people who live within 2 kilometers (typically equivalent to a 20-minute walk) of an all-season road. An all-season road is a road that is motorable all year by the prevailing means of rural transport. 7“World Bank Group Agriculture Action Plan (2013–2015),” 2013, page 51. 8World Bank, “The Land Governance Assessment Framework ,” 2012. 9Studiesof gum arabic and livestock led to projects financed by the Multi-Donor Trust Fund– National Sudan. 10In the “Always FCS” group all of the irrigation investments were in Afghanistan . 116 Appendix L. Migration in Low-Income Fragile and Conflict-Affected States 1. Migration has become an important component of livelihood strategies in the developing world. In both fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS)1 and Never FCS groups, migrants constitute a sizable proportion of the population living abroad. Migration also has huge implications for economies in these countries in terms of significant remittance flows. These trends highlight the need to effectively manage and leverage the inflow of financial resources. Social policies in these countries also have to be cognizant of the needs of migrant households and provide appropriate support services. 2. Migration and remittances are important drivers of economies in International Development Association (IDA) countries both in FCS and Never FCS groups. In 2010, the highest numbers of emigrants among the FCS were from Afghanistan (2.4 million), Côte d’Ivoire (1.2 million), Republic of Yemen (1.1 million), Haiti (1 million), and Nepal (983.6 thousand). Emigration as a percentage of population was largest in the small islands such as Tonga (45.5 percent) and São Tomé and Príncipe (21.9 percent), and Eritrea (17.9 percent), Tajikistan (11.5 percent), Liberia (10.8 percent), and Haiti (10.1 percent). Migration was also important among countries that were Never FCS; nearly 16 countries have more than 5 percent of their populations residing abroad.2 Thus, migration is also a source of short-term job creation in these countries. 3. Remittances became one of the major financial flows in many IDA countries, including FCS and Never FCS. In 10 IDA FCS economies, remittances were greater than official development assistance (ODA) or foreign direct investment (FDI), and in a few cases they were larger than both together: remittances accounted for 46.9 percent of GDP in Tajikistan, 23.3 percent in Nepal, and 7.4 percent in Kosovo in 2011. Also, in several Never FCS countries such as Lesotho, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Samoa, Senegal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Honduras, Guyana, and Nicaragua remittances were equal or higher than FDI and ODA. Among different financial inflows, remittances are most resistant and countercyclical in nature (Yang 2008).3 They therefore constitute a very important source of revenue, especially for the most vulnerable groups of population. 117 APPENDIX L. MIGRATION IN THE FCS Figure L.1.

The Bank Group has not placed substantial emphasis on the development of interventions targeted at migrant households. FCS and non-FCS countries with large emigrant populations could, therefore, benefit from policy advice on how to tailor social services toward migrants and the families they leave behind to mitigate the impact of social vulnerabilities caused by departing family members. 118 APPENDIX L.

Budget Analysis 1. This appendix analyzes trends in the World Bank’s administrative budget expenditures in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS) over the period FY01–12. Expenditures are analyzed for the following services: lending (i.e. project preparation costs), project supervision (and implementation support), and analytical and advisory activities (AAA), which is further divided into economic and sector work (ESW) and technical assistance (TA). To complete the analysis, changes in lending and supervision coefficients per project are analyzed and compared over time, both in terms of unit cost per project and unit cost per one million dollars of commitment volume. 2. The country classification is consistent with the country groups for the FCS evaluation: Always FCS, Partial FCS, and Never FCS. Although this country grouping is based on the FCS classification from FY06–12, to enable a meaningful comparison of the budget and avoid distortions due to additions or deletion of countries from the lists, the country groups are kept constant for the entire period FY01–12. For ready comparison between the three FCS groups, all budget expenditures were converted into constant 2011 US$ to adjust for inflation and separated into the World Bank’s internal budget (BB) and trust funds (TF). Figure M.1. Average Country Budget for Client Services Analysis of the World Bank’s Budget for Client $ 8,000 Services in FY01–12 $ 6,000 3. The client services budget for Always FCS $ 4,000 increased much more than for Partial FCS and $ 2,000 Never FCS. Among the three groups, the client FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 services budget for Always FCS increased by 140 percent over the period FY01–12 in real terms, and Always FCS Partial FCS amounted to an average of $5.2 million per Never FCS country in FY12. The budget for Partial FCS increased by 58 percent and by 30 percent for Never FCS, and reached $4.9 million and $5.9 million per country, respectively. 4. During the corresponding period (FY01–12), the increase in BB funding (in constant 2011 US$) for Always FCS countries (89 percent) was much smaller than 121 APPENDIX M BUDGET ANALYSIS Figure M.2. Operational Budgets in Always FCS (FY01–12, constant 2011 US$) the increase from TF (266 percent). A similar trend is found in the case of Partial FCS and Never FCS (Table $ 100,000 M.1). $ 80,000 $ 60,000 5. The Bank’s average budget for client services $ 40,000 increased as well, however, by much less than the total $ 20,000 budget increase over the same time period (Figure M.1). $0 On average, funding to Always FCS increased by 127 FY01 FY03 FY05 FY07 FY09 FY11 percent between the periods FY01–07 and FY07–12; the funding to Partial FCS increased by 120 percent; and the Project Supervision Lending ESW TA funding to Never FCS countries increased by 105 percent.

An analysis of the budgets for different components of operational services (project supervision, lending, and AAA) was conducted (in constant 2011 US$) for a more detailed illustration of changes among the three country groups. 122 APPENDIX M BUDGET ANALYSIS ALWAYS FCS Figure M.3. Operational Services in Never FCS (FY01–12, constant 2011 US$) 7. The supervision budget for this group $ 200,000 increased by 151 percent and by FY12 constituted $ 150,000 almost half of the budget, while the 24 percent $ 100,000 increase for lending was much more modest (Table M.2 and Figure M.2). Budget allocation for $ 50,000 ESW grew by 133 percent. TA registered the $0 largest increase—504 percent—over the same FY01 FY03 FY05 FY07 FY09 FY11 period. Project Supervision Lending ESW TA 8. The countries experiencing the largest increase in funding for TA, ESW, and project supervision were: Afghanistan, Haiti, Liberia, and DRC. By contrast, the smallest increase for the same services was registered in Eritrea, Chad, and Guinea. 9. Most countries in the Always FCS group experienced an increase in funding for TA, with the largest increase occurring in Afghanistan, Haiti, and Sudan. A decline in funding for TA occurred in Burundi, Eritrea, and Chad. 10. Over the FY01–12 period, the following countries experienced an increase in funding for ESW: Côte d'Ivoire, Comoros, Sudan, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. By contrast, Eritrea, Timor-Leste, and Kosovo experienced a reduction in funding for ESW. PARTIAL FCS 11. In this group also, the largest share of the operational services budget was allocated for project supervision, which grew by 125 percent from $10.5 million in FY01 to $23 million in FY12 (Table M.3). By contrast the budget for lending decreased by 39 percent. In this group of countries, supervision budgets increased in Djibouti, Kiribati, Tonga, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and Nepal; lending budget increased in Tonga; and AAA budgets in Kiribati and Tonga. Lending budgets declined in the Republic of Yemen and Cambodia in recent years with a drop in portfolio activity, while AAA budgets declined in Gambia, Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Tonga. 12. Between FY01–06, funding for ESW increased by 220 percent, but in FY07–12 it declined by 37 percent. Funding for TA increased by 352 percent over the period FY01–12, with the increase occurring largely during FY07–12 (Table M.3). ESW was financed largely by the Bank, while trust funds were the major contributor to TA funding. 123 APPENDIX M BUDGET ANALYSIS NEVER FCS 13. Countries in this group also dedicated the largest share of funding to supervision, allocations increasing by 59 percent from $47.4 million to $75.4 million between FY01 and FY12 (Figure L.4 and Table M.4). The following countries allocated the largest share of the budget for supervision: Ethiopia, Mongolia, and Maldives. In contrast, the lending budget for all countries in this group decreased by 32 percent and the funding for TA increased by 171 percent (much less than in Always FCS). The budget for ESW in Never FCS increased between FY01 and FY06 but decreased during FY07–12 (Figure M.3). The majority of funding for ESW came from BB. A breakdown of TA funding by country shows Kenya, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, and Maldives allocating the largest share for TA, with Guyana, Nicaragua, and Senegal allocating the lowest share.

The previous analysis shows that the Bank’s operational budget increased in FY01–12. However, the unit cost per project can be affected by an increase in the number of projects or the size of the projects. The following analysis provides a better understanding of the budget’s changes per project for supervision and per $1 million in commitment volume for lending operations. 15. Average budget allocation for supervision per project (in nominal US$) increased significantly throughout FY01–12, though there was no significant difference in the level of increase between the three country groups; Always FCS increased by 78 percent; Partial FCS increased by 96 percent; and Never FCS increased by 82 percent. In constant dollars, supervision expenditures per projects in Always FCS increased by 8 percent; in Partial FCS increased by 19 percent, and in Never FCS increased by 10 percent. During FY07–12 the supervision budget increased by 20 percent in Always FCS, while it decreased by 5 percent and 3 percent in Partial FCS and Never FCS, respectively (Figures M.4 and M.5). 16. The Bank is providing more funding for supervision per project in Always FCS than in the other two groups; the supervision coefficient in FY12 for Always FCS is 13 percent higher than Partial FCS and 18 percent higher than Never FCS. 125 APPENDIX M BUDGET ANALYSIS 17. Average costs of project preparation (in nominal US$) decreased in all three FCS groups over the period FY01–12 (Table M.13). The reduction in preparation costs per project was 15 percent for Always FCS and Never FCS, and 40 percent for Partial FCS. However, this picture changes significantly when FY07 is used as the base year. Costs in Always FCS increased by 33 percent, for Never FCS they increased by 9 percent, while Partial FCS experienced a decline of 5 percent. 18. In constant US$, preparation costs per project in FY12 dropped to half of the FY01 value in Always FCS and Never FCS, and to 36 percent of the FY01 value in Partial FCS (Figure M.4). However, in FY07–12, the preparation cost per project in Always FCS increased by 7 percent, while it decreased in Partial FCS and Never FCS by 23 percent and 13 percent, respectively (Table M.13). Figure M.4. Changes in Lending Coefficient Figure M.5. Changes in Supervision Coefficient (FY01–12, constant 2011 US$) (FY01–12, constant 2011 US$) $900 $220 $700 $200 $500 $180 $160 $300 $140 $100 $120 $100 Always FCS Partial FCS Never FCS Always FCS Partial FCS Never FCS 19. Like the supervision cost coefficient, the project preparation cost coefficient is greater for Always FCS than for the other two country groups. It is four percent higher than Partial FCS and nine percent higher than Never FCS. 20. Another way to assess supervision cost is the amount spent per $1 million in commitment volume. On this basis, the cost is greater in Always and Partial FCS than in Never FCS, though it should be noted that commitment volume per project is highest in Never FCS. In Always FCS the supervision budget per $1 million commitment volume increased by 44 percent over FY01–12 (Table M.5). The main increase occurred in the second part of the decade, when the budget increased by 55 percent from FY07 to FY12. In Partial FCS the supervision budget increased by 127 percent over FY01–12. It was the largest increase among all country groups. The main increase occurred in the first part of the decade, when the budget increased by 65 percent in FY01–06. Supervision cost in Never FCS increased by 65 percent from FY01 to FY12; the budget mainly increased during the first half of the decade (40 126 APPENDIX M BUDGET ANALYSIS percent). Overall, Always and Partial FCS countries received twice as much funding for supervision per $1 million commitment volume than Never FCS. Table M.5.

In FY01–12, project preparation costs (i.e. lending) per $1 million commitment volume had a fluctuating pattern among all country groups, with a more significant decline in commitment volume in FCS. Commitment volume per project in FCS (Always + Partial) decreased by 32 percent during FY07–12, from $30.2 million to $20.4 million, compared to the FY01–06 period (Table M.7). In contrast, commitment volume per project in Never FCS increased by 6 percent, from $41.8 million to $44.4 million, across the same time periods. 22. The decline in lending costs by commitment volume in FCS could be due to an increase in the number of emergency recovery loans and additional financing projects in FCS and Never FCS during FY01–12. IDA countries that were Never FCS received additional financing 264 times, which is 21 percent of all projects in FY01– 127 APPENDIX M BUDGET ANALYSIS 12. Among IDA FCS, additional financing reached 183 (18 percent), while the total number of projects was 1,013. Overall, the share of additional financing in both country groups was similar. 23. Economic Recovery Loans are more prevalent in FCS countries (Table M.8). Twenty-two percent of projects in FCS were Economic Recovery Loans as opposed to six percent in Never FCS; the preparation cost of emergency projects is lower than the cost for regular projects which may explain why approvals commitment volume per project is lower in FCS than in Never FCS.
