Tier 1

Tier 1 of the IDA20 RMS reports long-term development outcomes and the broader context of countries in which IDA operates (most recent data as of June 30, 2023). Progress on Tier 1 indicators is not directly attributed to IDA’s interventions; it is the outcome of collective efforts by countries and their development partners. There are 39 indicators in Tier 1, organized under the IDA20's Special Themes and Cross-cutting Issues.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Countries without wealth depletion (%)

Percentage of IDA (inclusive of Blend) countries with positive changes in wealth per capita, based on the ‘total wealth’ indicator produced as part of the Changing Wealth of Nations publication and published on the World Bank’s databank. Changes in total wealth per capita is a leading indicator of sustainability and measures the changes in the sum of assets which yield an economic benefit over time. The four main asset categories are produced capital (machinery, structures, equipment, and urban land), human capital (including the knowledge, skills, and experience embodied in the workforce), natural capital (agricultural land, forests, mangroves, fisheries, fossil fuels and minerals) and net foreign assets (portfolio equity, debt securities, foreign direct investment, and other financial capital held in other countries). Measuring these assets are an important measure of economic sustainability, as it is these assets which underpin future income and welfare.

The indicator measures the proportion of countries where the changes in the sum of all these assets over time in per capita terms is positive. The higher the indicator the greater the share of countries likely to be on an economically sustainable development pathway. The lower the indicator the lesser the share of countries likely to be on an economically sustainable development pathway.

Data is reported for IDA eligible countries, including blend countries in a reporting fiscal year.  If the change in the aggregated per capita value of these assets increases from one year to the next a country contributes positively to the indicator.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Countries without natural capital wealth depletion (%)

Percentage of IDA (inclusive of Blend) countries with positive changes in renewable natural capital per capita based on a subset of assets in the natural capital data series produced as part of the Changing Wealth of Nations publication and published on the World Development Indicators database. Renewable natural capital includes estimates of forest (that is accounting for timber, ecosystem services and the value of protected areas), mangroves, fisheries, cropland and pastureland. If the change in the aggregated per capita value of these assets increases from one year to the next a country contributes positively to the indicator.

Renewable natural capital is an indicator of sustainable natural resource management and is correlated with the state of nature, environment and services provided by natural assets to people. Consistent declines in renewable natural capital wealth provide an early warning that an economy is on an unsustainable development path with livelihoods dependent on environmental assets at risk.

Debt

IDA countries with low or moderate risk from unsustainable debt (number)

Number of IDA countries rated 4.0 and above on a scale of 1-6 on question 3.a of the Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA). The indicator rating is based on debt policy criteria and assesses whether a country’s debt management policy is conducive to ensure medium-term debt sustainability and minimize budgetary risk. The criteria cover the extent to which external and domestic debt is contracted, with a view to achieving/maintaining debt sustainability. The CPIA rates countries against a set of 16 criteria grouped in four clusters: (i) economic management; (ii) structural policies; (iii) policies for social inclusion and equity; and (iv) public sector management and institutions.

GOVERNANCE AND INSTITUTIONS

Countries with improved budget reliability, transperancy of public finances, and control in budget execution

This indicator was created to measure the three important elements of public financial management performance using three dimensions from three different pillars and indicators of the PEFA 2016 methodology: (https://www.pefa.org/resources/pefa-2016-framework)

(1.1)         Aggregate expenditure outturn; (9.1) Public access to fiscal information; (24.2) Procurement methods

The three dimensions selected represent: budget reliability; transparency of public finances; and predictability and control in budget execution. The baseline score was set for each country with the most recent PEFA 2016 Assessment by the numerated value of the average scores of the three dimensions. The scoring is according PEFA 2016 methodology:  A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 and NU=0. The detailed data calculation method is described below.

In order to measure the progress, a comparison with previous assessments will be done using PEFA 2016 methodology, except for the cases when the previous assessments were using PEFA 2011 methodology. There is a special Comparison table used to compare both methodologies. https://www.pefa.org/resources/pefa-indicator-comparison-table-2011-vs-2016-and-2016-vs-2011-glance

IDA countries with increased tax fairness and progressivity (number)

A tax system is progressive and fair when its design allows for the average tax rate (liability) to increase as income or other relevant welfare metric increases. Note that for taxes that are regressive the average tax rate decreases as income increases, and for proportional taxes the average tax rate is constant as income increases.
