Farmers adopting improved agricultural technology (million)
Farmers adopting improved agricultural technology (million)
This indicator measures the number of farmers of the project who have adopted an improved agricultural technology promoted by operations funded by IDA.
- 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.
Beneficiaries reached with financial services (million)
Beneficiaries reached with financial services (million)
The indicator measures the number of beneficiaries reached with financial services in operations funded by IDA.
- Beneficiaries include people, microenterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
- Financial services include transaction accounts, deposit accounts, mobile money accounts, loans, lines of credit, housing finance, micro-insurance, agri-insurance, etc. Financial services vary widely and TTLs usually use the exact wording for the type of services offered by their projects, so there are many different customized indicators in the system; this means that manual aggregation is the only way to report results on this indicator.
Roads constructed or rehabilitated (Kilometers)
Roads constructed or rehabilitated (Kilometers)
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.
Area provided with new/improved irrigation or drainage services (Hectares)
Area provided with new/improved irrigation or drainage services (Hectares)
This indicator measures in hectares the total area of land provided with new or improved irrigation or drainage services in operations funded by IDA.

- 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.
Generation capacity of renewable energy (GW)
Generation capacity of renewable energy (GW)
The indicator measures in Gigawatts (GW), the generation capacity of renewable energy enabled through policy and investment lending operations, technical assistance, leveraged finance of partners, enabling infrastructure development (Transmission and Distribution, Grid Integration), and guarantees to scale-up private sector investment.
Renewable power generation refers to the following: biomass co-generation; wind; geothermal; solar; wave and tidal; and, hydro power generation of any capacity.
Note: This indicator has been aligned—in terms of definition and target—with the IDA18 policy commitment to "support the addition of five GW in renewable energy generation." The value reported of 7.4 GW corresponds to operations supporting the addition of renewable energy generation in IDA countries that were approved by the Board of Executive Directors from FY18 through FY20. Of this, about 1.5 GW were provided through direct financing; the additional 5.9 GW were supported through indirect financing.
Private investments catalyzed by WB in IDA countries (US$ billion)

People who received essential health, nutrition, & population services (million)
People who received essential health, nutrition, & population services (million)
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.
Number of children immunized (million)
Number of children immunized (million)
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.
Women and children who have received basic nutrition services (million)
Women and children who have received basic nutrition services (million)
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 are counted only once.
Number of deliveries attended by skilled health personnel (million)
Number of deliveries attended by skilled health personnel (million)
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 IDA-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.
Beneficiaries of social safety net programs (million)
Beneficiaries of social safety net programs (million)
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).

The indicator is a composite indicator, and in addition to being used as a standalone indicator, it aggregates values from the following CRIs for corporate reporting:
(1) farmers reached with agricultural assets and services;
(2) beneficiaries of labor market programs;
(3) firms benefiting from private sector initiatives;
(4) teachers recruited or trained;
(5) students benefiting from direct interventions to enhance learning (TVET and tertiary learning only); and,
(6) beneficiaries reached with financial services.
Sustainability and Resilience
Projected energy or fuel savings (Megajoule)

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.
- 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.
Countries supported towards institutionalizing disaster risk reduction as a national priority with IDA support
Countries supported towards institutionalizing disaster risk reduction as a national priority with IDA support
Number of countries with IDA-supported programs that contribute to ensuring that disaster risk management is a national priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation in alignment with Sendai. This includes, among other things, support toward national policy and legal frameworks; dedicated and adequate resources; community participation; and national multi-sectoral platforms for disaster risk reduction.
Net Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
Net Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
Project net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are calculated as an annual average of the difference between project gross (absolute) emissions aggregated over the economic lifetime of the project and the emissions of a baseline (counterfactual) scenario aggregated over the same time horizon. The indicator applies to operations that are subject to GHG accounting under the corporate mandate. This includes IBRD/IDA investment lending in Sustainable Development Global Practices (Energy & Extractives, Transport & ICT, Environment & Natural Resources, Social, Urban, Rural and Resilience, Water, and Agriculture)where agreed GHG accounting methodologies exist. The indicator is based on an ex-ante estimation performed during project preparation using World Bank approved GHG accounting methodologies. The indicator value is negative if the project is reducing emissions, and positive if the project is increasing emissions. Net GHG emissions at the portfolio level are calculated as sum of project net emissions. GHG accounting is only done ex-ante. If the project undergoes major restructuring or is subject to additional financing relevant to GHG accounting, the ex-ante estimation of project net emissions needs to be recalculated at the time of restructuring or processing additional financing. Data of IDA-funded operations is reported. Net GHG emissions are reported for the entire projects regardless of the share of IBRD or IDA financing.

IDA countries that operationalize the OGP agenda commitments
IDA countries that operationalize the OGP agenda commitments
The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a multilateral initiative that aims to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance. In the spirit of multi-stakeholder collaboration, OGP is overseen by a Steering Committee including representatives of governments and civil society organizations. The World Bank will support countries participating in OGP and those interested in taking actions to become eligible. The World Bank will be notified for every instance an IDA Country formally accepts entry into the Open Government Partnership.
The Bank tracks & documents the support provided by each of these countries and report on a yearly basis. When countries have projects with an OGP component, it means that they are performing actions required for Open Government membership. The countries must agree to these projects, so they are agreeing to WB support and the reforms that go with it. Therefore, if they are implementing at least one component, then they are on a path to Open Government membership and are defined as operationalizing the agenda commitments.
