Tier 3

Mean score for the answer provided by World Bank Group clients in IDA countries to the following questions from the annual World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey (COS) Program: (i) “Overall, please rate your impression of the World Bank Group’s effectiveness in your country," and (ii) “To what extent does the World Bank Group’s work help to achieve development results in your country?” (based on a 10-point scale with 1 being “not effective at all” or “to no degree at all”, and 10 being “very effective” or “to a very significant degree”). World Bank Group clients in IDA countries are defined as respondents who report in the Country Opinion Survey that they collaborate with the World Bank (IDA). The indicator reflects the current fiscal year ratings (FY22), that is, for about a quarter of all World Bank Group client countries surveyed during each three-year cycle.  Data is reported for IDA eligible countries, including blend countries, in a reporting fiscal year.

Mean score for the answer provided by World Bank Group clients in IDA countries to the question from the annual World Bank Group Country Opinion Survey (COS) Program: “To what extent is the World Bank Group an effective development partner in your country, in terms of collaboration with other donors and development partners?” (based on a 10-point scale with 1 being “to no degree at all”, and 10 being “to a very significant degree”). World Bank Group clients in IDA countries are defined as respondents who report in the COS that they collaborate with the World Bank (IDA). The indicator reflects the current fiscal year ratings (FY22), that is, for about a quarter of all World Bank Group client countries surveyed during each three-year cycle.  Data is reported for IDA eligible countries, including blend countries, in a reporting fiscal year.

Number of operations that have identified Gender-Based Violence (GBV) as an issue in the design phase and have responded with mitigating actions throughout the operation. Based on IDA-funded projects approved in current fiscal year.

The indicator measures the share of a project’s IDA lending at commitment that is expected to contribute to climate change adaptation and/or mitigation. Calculation is based on the joint MDB methodology for tracking climate change adaptation and mitigation finance to assess the Climate Co-Benefits of all IBRD/IDA lending operations. The methodology is used by seven MDBs to track and report annually on MDB climate finance and takes different approaches to tracking adaptation and mitigation co-benefits. Climate change mitigation promotes efforts to reduce, limit, or sequester GHG emissions to reduce the risk of climate change. Mitigation co-benefits are determined based on a list of activities that are compatible with low-emission pathways that have been agreed upon by MDBs to be classified as climate mitigation finance. The list covers nine categories of activities, such as energy generation, energy efficiency, agriculture, waste and wastewater, and transport. Not all activities that reduce GHGs in the short term can receive mitigation co-benefits. The full list is published annually in the Joint Report on Multilateral Development Banks’ Climate Finance and can be found in Table A.C.1 of the report. All lending operations (IPFs, DPLs, and PforRs) are assessed for climate co-benefits. Projects’ Climate Co-Benefits are assigned only to the financing (or a portion of the financing) dedicated to eligible adaptation and/or mitigation activities. The assessment is based on project components/sub-components for IPFs, Prior Actions for DPFs, and Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) for PforRs.

The indicator measures the share of adaptation co-benefits over total climate co-benefits of project’s IDA lending at commitment. Climate change adaptation refers to activities that are carried out in response to current or expected climate change impacts. The methodology specifies that adaptation co-benefits must be clearly linked to project activities that address the climate change vulnerabilities relevant to the project's location and context. As per the methodology, adaptation co-benefits are assigned to project activities when the project document: (i) sets out the climate change vulnerability context of the project; (ii) makes and explicit statement of an intent to address the identified climate vulnerabilities as part of the project; and (iii) articulates a clear and direct link between specific project activities and the project’s objective to reduce vulnerability to climate change. Through this three-step process, the methodology attempts to capture the incremental cost of adaptation activities that are differentiated from the usual development finance in a project. If the incremental cost cannot be estimated, a proportional approach is taken to determine the share of development activities that correspond to adaptation activities.

This indicator measures the dollar value of the sum approved by the Board in a given FY, to be extended to the client in loan, credit, or grant terms from IDA sources identified as providing disaster risk management co-benefits, as a share of the total sum approved by the Board. Data reported for this indicator represents 3-year average.

Staff presence on the ground in IDA-eligible FCS per year, measured as mission days in-country, resident staff days (assumed number of days per year x staff number) and local consultant days worked.

Facetime (in days) = Total GE+ Mission Days in-country + resident GE+ staff days worked (assumed number of days per year [220] x staff number) + local consultant days worked. Annual FY data is reported for all IDA-eligible countries (+West Bank & Gaza) on the FY21 harmonized FCS list[1]. To ensure consistency, this list will remain the sample for IDA19 monitoring going forward.

Number of IDA countries with the lowest Human Capital Index supported to improve the sustainability of human capital financing (as per Governance PC#5)

Indicator tracks progress of IDA19 policy commitment 5 under the Governance & Institutions special theme. Support to IDA countries includes a focus on reaching universal health coverage and good learning outcomes for all, through: (i) improving the efficiency of public expenditures, and (ii) more effectively aligning expenditures with domestic financing and external resources in a sustainable manner.

The indicator measures the number of IDA countries taking IFF-related policy actions, such as increasing access to and awareness of beneficial ownership information and/or adopting automatic exchange of information to reduce tax evasion. Indicator tracks progress under the IDA19 Governance & Institutions (G&I) policy commitment no. 8. Illicit Financial Flows Assessments encompass the variety of tools the WBG will utilize to help IDA countries to monitor and measure Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs). These include Rapid Assessment Tools (RATs), Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool (TADAT), National Risk Assessments (NRA), and other approaches for assessing the different dimensions of IFFs.

The indicator measures the percentage of IDA Investment Project Financing approved during a fiscal year applying the concept of universal access at design. The indicator is aligned to the progressive realization of disability inclusion within lending operations through Environmental Social Framework (ESF). Universal access is defined as “unimpeded access for people of all ages and abilities in different situations and under various circumstances.”
