Tier 2

Farmers adopting improved agricultural technology [SDG target 2.4; IDA19 Theme JET]: This indicator measures the number of farmers of the project who have adopted an improved agricultural technology promoted by operations funded by IDA. Data is reported for IPFs, DPFs, Program-for-Results and Guarantees unless otherwise specified.

• Farmers are people engaged in farming activities or members of a farming business (disaggregated by men and women) targeted by the project.

• Adoption refers to a change of practice or change in use of a technology that was introduced/promoted by the project.
• Technology includes a change in practices compared to currently used practices or technologies (seed preparation, planting time, feeding schedule, feeding ingredients, postharvest storage/ processing, etc.). If the project introduces or promotes a technology package in which the benefit depends on the application of the entire package (e.g., a combination of inputs such as a new variety and advice on agronomic practices such as soil preparation, changes in seeding time, fertilizer schedule, plant protection, etc.), this counts as one technology.

This indicator measures in hectares the total area of land provided with new or improved irrigation or drainage services in operations funded by IDA. This includes (i) the area provided with new irrigation or drainage services (ha), and (ii) the area provided with improved irrigation or drainage services (ha). Data is reported for IPFs, DPFs, Program-for-Results and Guarantees unless otherwise specified.”

• Irrigation or drainage services refers to the better delivery of water to, and drainage of water from, arable land, including better timing, quantity, quality, and cost-effectiveness for the water users.
• New irrigation or drainage services refers to the provision of irrigation and drainage services in an area that has not had these services before. The area is not necessarily newly cropped or newly productive land, but is newly provided with irrigation and drainage services, and may have been rain-fed land before.
• Improved irrigation or drainage services refers to the upgrading, rehabilitation, and/or modernization of irrigation or drainage services in an area with existing irrigation and drainage services.

The indicator measures the number of kilometers of all roads constructed, reopened to motorized traffic, rehabilitated, or upgraded by operations supported by operations funded by IDA. This includes rural and non-rural roads.

• Rural roads are functionally classified in various countries below Trunk or Primary, Secondary or Link roads, or sometimes Tertiary roads. Such roads are often described as rural access, feeder, market, agricultural, irrigation, forestry or community roads. Typically, rural roads connect small urban centers/towns/settlements of less than 2000 to 5000 inhabitants to each other or to higher classes of roads, market towns and urban centers.
• Non-rural roads are roads functionally classified in various countries as Trunk or Primary, Secondary or Link roads, or sometimes Tertiary roads. Typically, non-rural roads connect urban centers/ towns/ settlements of more than 5000 inhabitants to each other or higher classes of road, market towns and urban centers. Urban roads are included in non-rural roads.

This indicator measures the number of individuals benefiting from safety nets programs supported by IDA. Safety nets programs are designed to provide social assistance to poor and vulnerable individuals or families by including them in cash transfers (conditional and unconditional), public works and workfare programs, fee waivers for services, and in-kind assistance to address critical needs (e.g., food, medicine, shelter, and social services). Data is reported for IPFs, DPFs, Program-for-Results and Guarantees unless otherwise specified.

The indicator measures the sum of the number of children immunized, the number of women and children who have received basic nutrition services, and the number of deliveries attended by skilled health personnel, through operations funded by IDA. Data is reported for IPFs, DPFs, Program-for-Results and Guarantees unless otherwise specified.

• Women and children who have received basic nutrition services:  refers to the total beneficiaries reached by any of the following services: direct feeding programs (supplementary feeding for pregnant and lactating women and infants and young children under age 5); programs promoting appropriate infant and young child feeding (e.g., promotion/support for exclusive breastfeeding, adequate and timely introduction of complementary foods); nutrition programs for adolescent girls, including nutrition education, micronutrient supplements, etc., delivered through school health/nutrition programs or other programs reaching adolescent girls; provision of micronutrient supplements to pregnant/lactating women and children under 5 including vitamin A, iodine, iron/iron folic acid, supplemental zinc, and multiple micronutrient powders; food fortification (e.g., iodized salt); deworming; monitoring of nutritional status; nutrition and food hygiene education; nutrition components of early childhood development programs; home gardens and small livestock production for improved dietary diversity; targeted emergency food aid and treatment of severe acute and moderate acute malnutrition. Although the same individuals could receive more than one of the above services, they should be counted only once.
• Number of deliveries attended by skilled health personnel: refers to the number of women who delivered with the assistance of a skilled health provider (specialist or non-specialist doctor, midwife, nurse, or other health personnel with midwifery skills), whether in health facilities or women’s homes. If the Bank-financed activities are mainly at health facilities, the data for this indicator can be obtained from delivery records or health management information systems. If the IDA financed activities include supporting skilled health providers to provide home deliveries, efforts should be made to accurately record such home deliveries in addition to the institutional deliveries.

Number of children immunized refers to the number of children 5 years of age and younger receiving vaccines purchased through an IDA-financed project, as well as the number of children immunized with vaccines purchased with other resources (i.e. GAVI or government funds) that are delivered through an IDA-supported program. It captures the number of children immunized and not the number of vaccination; that is, if the same child is immunized with multiple vaccines on the same day or has several immunization visits in a given year, the child will be counted only once. Thus simply tallying the monthly totals of the number of children receiving vaccines as recorded in immunization registers or health management information systems, will lead to double counting. Since contribution rather than attribution is to be measured, pro-rating based on proportion of IDA financing is not required.

The indicator measures energy savings and lifetime fuel savings, both converted to megajoules (MJ), achieved through energy efficiency measures that are directly attributable to operations funded by IDA. This indicator aggregates the following data: project life time energy savings, projected lifetime fuel savings, and projected electricity generation savings. Data is reported for IPFs, DPFs, Program-for-Results and Guarantees unless otherwise specified.

• Projected savings are calculated against baseline or business-as-usual scenario in the absence of the project.

• Savings are defined as savings for the lifetime of the intervention projected in the year it is completed.

This indicator reports number of IDA countries supported by IDA-funded operations active that contributed to the institutionalization of disaster risk management. This employs the contribution-based approach to ascertain the World Bank’s contribution towards supporting IDA countries to institutionalize DRM at the national and local level, in line with the Hyogo Framework for Action Priority 1. The portfolio’s relevance towards HFA 1 is based on project activities supporting the following HFA standard sub-indicators:

• HFA 1.1 Building a national policy and legal framework for disaster risk reduction with decentralized responsibilities and capacities at all levels
• HFA 1.2 Ensuring that dedicated and adequate resources are available to implement disaster risk reduction activities at all administrative levels
• HFA 1.3 Ensuring community participation and decentralization through the delegation of authority and resources to local levels
• HFA 1.4 Ensuring that a national multi-sectoral platform for disaster risk reduction is functioning

Reports on number of IDA countries that publish public debt reports at least on an annual basis providing information on the outstanding external and domestic public sector debt portfolio and its main cost and risk characteristics, with data that is not older than 6 months.

Refers to technical assistance activity provided to national statistical agencies related to household surveys (e.g., sampling, survey logistics, estimation of poverty-lines). Data is reported for IDA eligible countries, including blend countries, in a reporting fiscal year.

Indicator tracks progress under FCV policy commitment no. 5 which consists on building capacity of IDA countries, partners, and Bank teams on the ground, to leverage field-appropriate technology for digital data collection and analysis through tools such as the innovative Geo-Enabling initiative for Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS) to systematically enhance Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) as well as supervision in FCV settings. The use of such tools and methods allows operations to enhance the transparency and accuracy of M&E and increase the accountability of third-party monitoring (TPM).
