ALLOCATING IDA FUNDS BASED ON PERFORMANCE

1. Performance-Based Allocation: Mainstay of IDA13

1. The agreement on IDA's Thirteenth Replenishment reaffirmned the central importance ofIDA's Performance-based Allocation (PBA) system in allocating resources.' This system isguided by an assessment of the quality of client countries' policies and institutions, to arrive atan equitable distribution of IDA funds among eligible recipient countries, and has gone throughsuccessive refinements and improvements in recent years. This is IDA's fourth Annual Reporton the PBA system's evolution and results.

2. A reminder of the essential design of the PBA system may be helpful. The Bank conductsan annual performance assessment for its borrowing countries. The exercise, known as theCountry Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) assesses a country's present policy andinstitutional framework for fostering poverty reduction, sustainable growth and the effective useof development assistance. It includes 20 equally weighted criteria which are grouped in fourclusters: economic management; structural policies; policies for social inclusion and equity; andpublic sector management and institutions (for a listing of the criteria see Annex 1).

3. The CPIA underpins IDA's Perfomnance Rating but is not its only determinant. Twoadditional process steps are included. First, to capture the important dimension of quality ofdevelopment project and program management, the Bank's Annual Report on PortfolioPerformance (ARPP) is used to determine a score for each country's implementationperformance. On the basis of these measures, a weighted average rating is calculated of theCPIA (80%) and the ARPP measure (20%). Second, this rating is multiplied by the "govemancefactor" to produce the country's IDA Performance Rating (see Chart 1). The govemance factoris dernved from the country's average rating for seven governance criteria that are part of thePBA system.2/

Additions to IDA Resources: Thirteenth Replenishment, IDA/SecM2002-0488, September 17,2002 (the "IDA13Arrangements").

2 The seven criteria include six governance-related CPIA critena (#4 and #16-20, see Annex 1); plus theprocurement practices criterion included in the ARPP rating. The factor is calculated by dividing the averagerating on these seven criteria by 3.5 (the rmd-point of the I to 6 range) and applying an exponent of 1.5 to thisratio.

4. Performnance-Based Allocation. IDA's resources are allocated on the basis of the IIDAPerformance Rating (PR) -- ensuring that good performers get a higher share of IDA's availableresources -- and, to a lesser extent, GNI per capita.3 The allocation normn establishes thefinancial resources available for each IDA country for the following three fiscal years. Theallocation sets the resource envelope that each country could expect to receive if its performancestays the same and assuming a pipeline of quality projects -- but is not an entitlement. In thecase of a new CAS, the allocation norm will set the base-case financing scenario (see Chart 2).The CAS financing scenarios may be adjusted to reflect special country circumstances, whichwill be spelled out in the CAS.

5. In addition to their performance-based allocations, all countries are allotted a basicallocation of SDR 3 million (about US $ 4 mnllion). In terms of per capita allocations, thisbenefits in particular the small states. There are some important considerations that meritexceptions to the allocation norms. First, "blend" countries with access, or potential access, toIBRD receive less than their norm allocation due to their broader financing options. Second,post-conflict countries can, when appropriate, be provided with additional resources in support oftheir recovery and in recognition of a period of exceptional need. And third, additionalallocations may be provided in the aftermath of major natural disasters.

6. Section 2 reviews the main enhancements made to the PBA system in 2002. Section 3reviews the performance assessment's building blocks, while Section 4 presents the 2002 IDACountry Performnance Rating results. Section 5 looks at the use of the performance assessment inallocating IDA resources. Section 6 concludes the report with a discussion of emerging issuesand next steps.

2. Significant Enhancements of the PBA System in 2002

7. Highlights of the PBA system's changes and results are the following:

(i) the Assessment Process* After the major revamping of the CPIA criteria in 2001, and following internal

consultations, only limited refinements were made to a few CPIA criteria; and* The measurement of procurement performance -- a governance indicator which is

included among the portfolio criteria -- was improved to capture not only the timelinessof the procurement process but also its quality.

(ii) the Allocation Process* The IDA13 Arrangements include IDA funding on grant terms with a varying proportion

of grants now forming part of each country's regular performance-based IDA allocation;* The new post-conflict allocation framework was used to help guide resource decisions for

eight countries eligible for post-conflict allocations4 ; and* The link between CAS tnggers and the IDA performance ratings was tightened.

3. Performance Assessment: Building Blocks

8. CPIA Questionnaire.5 For the CPIA 2002 exercise, the definitions of four criteria wererevised:6

* The Public Debt criterion (#3) was broadened to include not only external but alsodomestic debt;

* The Financial Stability criterion (# 6) was revised to include more explicitly the issue ofmoney laundering;

* The Gender criterion (#11) consolidated the gender dimensions from nine to six;* The Building Human Resources criterion (#13) was revised to include other

communicable diseases with HIV/AIDS.

9. CPIA 2002 Ratings. Box 1 presents by quintiles the overall 2002 CPIA ratingsfor the rated IDA countries,7 while Annex 2 presents this information for each of the four CPIAdimensions: Economic Management; Structural Policies; Policies for Social Inclusion/Equity;and Public Sector Management and Institutions. The population-weighted average CPIA scorefor all the rated countries was 3.44, a slight increase from 3.40 in 2001, while the ratio of theaverage CPIA ratings of the top and bottom quintiles (a measure of the dispersion) fell from 1.71in 2001 to 1.43 in 2002, which is close to the 2000 level (1.51).

11. Emphasis on Govemnance: the Governance Factor. As in 2001, in order to reflect thespecial importance of good governance, a factor was applied to the weighted average of theCPIA and ARPP ratings to arrive at the IDA Country Perfonnance Rating. The application ofthe govemance factor enhanced the weight of governance in the overall ratings.

12. In 2002 the average scores on governance continued to show a wide range of results. Onthe weak end of the spectrum, 17 out of 76 rated IDA countries scored at least 25% below 3.5(the midpoint of the 1 to 6 range): Angola, Carneroon, Central African Republic, The Gambia,Georgia, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, P.D.R. Lao, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, SolomonIslands, Sudan, Tajikistan, Togo, Uzbekistan, and Zimbabwe. Bhutan, on the other hand, scoredmore than 25% above the 3.5 level.

4. Performance Assessment: Country Ratings

13. The quintile results for the 2002 IDA Country Perfonnance Ratings are presented inBox 2, and the population-weighted average ratings for the quintiles are presented in Box 3.9 Acomparison between 2002 and 2001 shows a modest fall in average rating from 2.94 to 2.82(largely reflecting the impact of the governance factor), and little change in the dispersion ofthese ratings.

S Of the currently 81 IDA-eligible countries, five were not rated in this exercise: Afghanistan, Liberia, Myanmar,and Somalia, which were inactive; and Timor Leste, which was not yet an IDA member.

9 The 2002 quintile-based results include 63 countries (the excluded IDA-eligible countries are set out in Box 4),three more than in 2001. This is due to a net increase of IDA eligible countries by two (see Para 14), plus theinclusion of Nigeria, whose allocation had been capped (see Para 20).

14. As was the case in 2001, IDA Country Directors received guidelines for sharing theCPIA and IDA Country Performance ratings, and the resulting allocation, with their clientcountries, informing the country dialogue and improving the focus and effectiveness of the IDA-funded program.

5. Using Performance Assessment to Allocate IDA's Resources

15. Actual Lending and Perfornance in FYOO-02. Box 4 shows the population-weightedaverage per capita per annum lending in FYOO-02 per performance quintile for 60 IDAborrowers. The typical lending to countries in the first quintile is shown to be nearly three timesthe lending to countries in the fifth quintile. The low average lending figure of the third quintilemainly reflects sluggish program implementation in Bangladesh, the largest country in thisquintile.

16. The number of eligible IDA borrowers changed little over the FYOO-02 period: theFormer Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia graduated from blend to IBRD borrower status inFY01, while BoLivia, Serbia and Montenegro, and Uzbekistan became eligible as blends inFY02.

17. Particular attention was given to the selection and design of the triggers of the CAS basecase and high case to tighten their alignment with the country performance yardsticks (CPIA andARPP), and thus the links between country performance and actual IDA lending.

18. IDA Allocation Envelope for FY04-06. The IDA allocation exercise for FY04-06 wascompleted between October 2002 and January 2003. FY04-06 covers the last two years ofIDA13, and the first year of IDA14. In line with procedures, the exercise assumed a similarfunding level in IDA14 as in IDA13, which implied a planning envelope of some SDR 18 billionfor the allocation period. This exercise used the same allocation formula as that used theprevious year, and the same approach to post-conflict allocations, as described in Annex 2 of theIDA 13 Arrangements.

19. IDA Eligible Countries. In FY03 Papua New Guinea fell back from being an IBRDborrower to blend status, while Timor-Leste became IDA-eligible. As a result the number ofIDA-eligible countries has risen to 81. This includes 66 IDA-only countries -- of which eight arecurrently eligible for post-conflict allocations in excess of their performance-based norm -- and15 blend countries. The allocations of the six blend countries that are expected to receive accessto IBRD financing are set to reflect special country circumstances.

20. Three Large Capped Blend Countries. The three-year allocations for three large blendcountries were fixed at a level below what would be the norm if they were IDA-only borrowers(Nigeria's performance-based allocation has fallen to below its cap level):

* India's allocation was capped at SDR 2.0 billion, as in previous years.

* Pakistan's cap was raised as it moved from its CAS base case to the high case, reachingSDR 1.2 billion, still well below the performance-based IDA-only norm.

* Indonesia's cap continues at the base case of SDR 315 mnillion, but SDR 600 million hasbeen set aside for the FY04-06 period in order to ensure adequate resources if it meets thehigh case triggers.

21. Three Other Blend Countries. The allocations for three other countries were fixed in linewith amounts agreed in current CAS/TSS country strategies:

* Serbia and Montenegro's allocation was set at SDR 129 million in line with theapproved TSS.

* Uzbekistan's allocation was set at SDR 19 million in line with its approved CAS.* Bolivia's allocation was set at SDR 45 million in line with its agreed plan for graduation

from IDA by the end of IDA13 (FY05).

22. Post-Conflict Countries. Special allocations for FY04 were given to eight eligible post-conflict countries. Sierra Leone will start the phase-out of its special post-conflict allocation inFY04: during FY04 and FY05 its allocation will be brought down, so that by FY06 it will beback to receiving regular performance-based allocations. FY04 is the last full post-conflictallocation year for Congo Republic and Eritrea, after which it will be their turn to start a two-year phase down. For Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, FY05 will be the lastfull post-conflict allocation year. Afghanistan, Angola, and Timor-Leste all will receive theirlast full post-conflict allocation in FY06. Guinea Bissau, which formerly was eligible for post-conflict allocations, is returning to regular allocations in FY04. Sri Lanka became eligible forpost-conflict treatment in FY03, but received no special allocations since its regularperformance-based allocation is already substantial and covers its IDA funding needs. However,as a post-conflict country it will receive part of its FY03-04 IDA funding in terms of grants.Progress in post-conflict countries that receive special allocations continues to be measured bythe Post-Conflict Progress Indicators (PCPI), designed to capture the aspects of progress thatcharacterize those countries.

23. Outcome: IDA Allocations for FY04-06. Box 5 summarizes the results of the 2002 IDAAllocations for FY04-06 for 63 of the 81 eligible IDA countries (18 IDA countries do not receiveregular allocations: eight post-conflict countries; six blend countries; and four inactivecountries). The population-weighted average per capita per annum (PCPA) allocation shows asubstantial range: from US$2.4 for the bottom quintile to US$12.0 -- or five times as much -- forthe top quintile (this ratio was 4.6 in the FY03-05 exercise).

24. The ratio of 5.0 is higher than the ratio of actual lending during the FYOO-02 (IDA12)period. This mainly reflects the introduction of the governance factor with its broad impactacross the rating spectrum (the governance discount, which was applied during FYOO-02, onlylowered the ratings and allocations of the countries with the weakest governance perfornance).The deviations that occur at times between allocations and actual lending can also reflect validcountry circumstances (e.g., increased amounts in Nicaragua and Honduras in the aftermath ofHurricane Mitch, or decreased amounts due to unforeseen political disturbances).

6. Emerging Issues and Next Steps

25. Effectively and fairly assessing country performance to guide the allocation of scarceIDA funds is an ongoing challenge. IDA continues to work on various aspects of both theassessment and allocation parts of the PBA system to make sure that they reflect the state of theart.

26. Issues concerning the Country Performance Assessment Process. As IDA's resultsmeasurement process is being put in place10, the issue of its relation to the CPIA process andIDA's allocation system needs to be clearly understood. The CPIA exercise assesses theappropriateness and effectiveness of countries' policies and institutions. The resultsmeasurement system currently under consideration, on the other hand, will assess the quality ofcountry development outcomes. Over time, findings of these two processes would be expectedto show a strong correlation, since policies and institutions are a significant (but not exclusive)factor in country outcomes. In practice, outcome indicators of the results measurement processwill provide valuable reference information for particular CPIA criteria, and also be helpful inrefining descriptions of the rating levels for specific criteria.

27. In the context of the special focus on Low Income Countries Under Stress (LICUS), workis under way to analyze how to appropriately apply the CPIA and PCPI ratings to a small groupof LICUS at the very bottom of the performance spectrum where reliable evaluative data may bescarce.

28. Para.l 1 referred to the amplification of govemance scores in the overall IDA CountryPerformance Rating through the application of the governance factor. This cumulative effect ofstressing good governance through the governance factor is an integral part of the ratings system.However, a technical aspect of the factor (namely, the exponent applied to the factor) is beingreviewed, with the objective of ensuring continued strong stress on good governance whilemaintaining an appropriate level of continuity in country dialogue and programmning.

29. Disclosure of the CPIA and IDA Country Performance Ratings is currently limited toquintile-based infornation (as used in this report). As agreed under IDA13, Management isexploring ways to share the ratings with other partners, with the eventual goal of publicdisclosure of these ratings. IDA Deputies have requested that Management report at the time ofthe mid-term review (October/November 2003) on the readiness of the system for public

disclosure and the timing of public disclosure of individual country ratings. A Board TechnicalBriefing on this question is planned in April.

30. Issues concerning the IDA Allocation Process. Questions have been raised concemingthe weight assigned in the current allocation formula to the level of poverty in a given country.Work is under way to assess what would be the impact of increasing the weight of poverty.Other ongoing work concems the ceilings that have been traditionally set on allocations topopulous blend countries (see Para.19) as a means of distributing funds over a broadergeographic area. The IDA Deputies have asked to be informed of the results of this work at thetime of the IDA13 mid-term review.

31. IDA allocations to post-conflict countries continue to receive special attention. With thelist of currently eligible countries up to eight, it will be particularly important that after theperiod of special allocations and phase-out countries are retumed to regular allocations.Especially with other potentially eligible countries -- such as Sudan -- making progress, adheringto the phasing out of special allocations of earlier post-conflict cases is key to ensuring anappropriate balance of such allocations in the overall resource envelope.

World Bank Compendium - Whole Bank Search Project Progress Report - January 2003

Overall Project Progress

As described below several major tasks remain in progress at this time - most notably the federated search capabilityand the document management tasks. We have established firm completion dates for these tasks, and have set thePhase I Federated Search implementation date at May 1, 2003 Daily status reports of work on these tasks will berequested by the Project Manager from all individuals working on the project to ensure that the May 1, 2003implementation date is met

Phase I Summary

Timeline: July -October, 2002

Original Deliverables:

* Information Disclosure Site InfrastructureStatus: DeliveredAccomplishments* Infrastructure Is operational with full permissions for maintaining the site

* Disclosure Glossary -Status: Infrastructure Delivered, Content In ProgressContent completion date set at March 31, 2003Accomplishments

Glossary infrastructure was launched January, 2003 with content from three sources integrated into one publicly-accessible resource

Explanation of Schedule Delays* Project Manager, OPCS representative, and STC Intems have take responsibility for followup on all outstanding

document definitions and clarifications.* Confusion regarding functionality of the e-publish tool has resulted in some work slowdown

* Federated Search of Documents/Reports & ArchivesStatus: Infrastructure In Progress, Content Mapping CompletedFederated Search completion date set at April 30, 2003.Accomplishments* Metadata for Archives, WDS and DocRD have been mapped, work on search widgets continues with a focus on

integrated search results sets and profile record presentation -- an estimated completed date of May 1, 2003* Decision reached on types of metadata to be displayed in Compendium We will display metadata for Disclosed,

Eligible For Diclosure, and Not Disclosable Documents. Disclosure Glossary will contain definitions for thesetypes of documents, and indicate their disclosure status. Some types of Intemal administrative documents maynot be promoted to the Compendium. Intemal secunty classifications for these types of documents will berespected - we will identify parameters when Compendium Search is in pilot mode.

* 70 records from the Corporate Secretary's DocRD database added to Compendium Phase I release as thirdsource - February, 2003. Full infrastructure for DocRD records has been established and is ready to surfacelarger extract as that becomes available.

Explanation of Schedule Delays* Full extract of DocRD records has not been possible due to lack of access to the DocRD metadata following the

rewnte the DocRD extract program in December.* Harmonization of date fields across Archives and ImageBank content in progress - testing of predefined

searching across the two sources in March indicates that the ability to sort on date must be in place for theArchives citations.

* Search program experts were not available to work on the project until early March due to heavy involvement inIRIS development work and previously scheduled home leave. Work on the search functionality is now moving

forward at an acceptable pace The decision was made to wait for these experts to guide the use of existingcode, rather than to develop new search code.

* Four Public Friendly Browse Structures - Organizational, Geographical, Business Function, TopicStatus: Infrastructure Completed, Reference Source Maps Recently CompletedBrowse functionality completion date set at April I, 2003.Accomplishments* Html code for the browse structures was completed in Fall, 2002.* Browse structures will be supported by enhanced CDS sources (Phase II deliverable). Phase I browse structures

will be dnven by Oracle classes. Values for two of the classes were completed in February-March The work onreconciling the historical Corporate Body records was completed in February providing a basis for theOrganizational Unit browse across the two sources Draft Business Function taxonomy mapped to documenttypes was completed in March - providing the basis for the Operational Browse.

Explanation of Schedule DelaysWhile the HTML code was completed, the underlying maps of progressive browse structures, and the lnks ofbrowse structures to document types was still in progress

Improved Document Management PracticesStatus: Proposal for Sustainable Governance Model Across Systems in ProgressTarget implementation date for improved Document Management model is December, 2003.Accomplishments* IDU has incorporated into the Backflle Conversion project high pnonty document types defined in the Disclosure

Policy. A working team identified gaps in coverage in Bank's recordkeeping systems Intems working on theCompendium project identified and filed Into ImageBank 45+ fugitive HIPC, SSP, PRSP, and Inspection Paneldocuments published on the Bank's extemal web.

* New e-publish tool was delivered in January to help manage content and document types* Distinguished documents and publications, and reintroduced the Series Name attribute to streamline document

typesExplanation of Schedule Delays* While we have had in place on paper a document management model, we have had to revisit the day to day

practice of managing document types. To ensure that the new model is practical across systems, sustainableover time, and is tied to an Enterprise Content Management approach, we have taken additional time to consultwith institutional system managers. The new model is scheduled for implementation in December, 2003.

* Phase I document management reconciliation is tied to the Disclosure Glossary work. Project Manager and theOPCS representative have taken responsibility for ensuring this is completed for Phase I Checklist of documents

* Phase II document reconciliation will focus on the integration of all IRIS version metadata It is more efficient tofocus on the systems that contain 96% of the documents at this time, than to continue to try to reconcile individualdocument types across systems.

* Tracking of web published Bank documents continues through the mapping of the extemal web as part of theExtemal Web/lISP migration effort

* Disclosure Request Tracking SystemStatus: Development of Unified Case Management system is in progress.Scheduled delivery date for the UCM has not yet been established - this is now a separate project.Accomplishments* Functional Requirements specifications deliverable to ISGCI February 16, 2003. ISGCI formulating technical

architecture, project plan - system delivery expected 2003.* Disclosure Help Desk staff are consulting with InfoShop regarding handling of requests for disclosure review and

delivenng disclosed or disclosable documents This deliverable is now a defined project In ISG with aninstitutional client base.

* Disclosure Notification workflow enhancements were implemented - providing IDU with a view of E-Board tofacilitate discovery of documents newly disclosed by the Board
