IDA171 Results Measurement System (RMS)
The International Development Association (IDA) is the World Bank’s fund for the world’s poorest countries.
The World Bank Group uses the IDA Results Measurement System (IDA RMS) to track IDA operational
results. The IDA RMS was introduced with IDA13 (2002) and has evolved over the years to become a robust
accountability and management tool to focus on results in IDA countries. The IDA RMS is separate from theWorld Bank Group’s Corporate Scorecard, enabling the World Bank to report to IDA donors and stakeholders
on results specific to IDA countries.
The IDA17 RMS2 uses a four-tiered development results framework to track results at the country level and
IDA performance:

Tier 1
Reports long-term development outcomes and the broader context of IDA countries in which the WBG
operates. Progress in Tier I indicators is not directly attributed to IDA’s interventions; it is the outcome ofcollective efforts by countries and their development partners. Tier I measures progress that IDA-eligible
countries are making on development indicators organized into six categories:•• Poverty eradication and shared prosperity goals•• Inclusive growth and private sector development•• Governance and institutional development•• Infrastructure•• Gender equality and human development.
•• Climate change and environment

Tier 2
Tracks development results in countries supported by IDA. They include indicators that measure the overalloutcomes of IDA’s Country Assistance Strategies Completion Reports (CASCRs) and operations in all IDA
countries. Tier 2 also tracks aggregate project output indicators under five areas:•• Governance and institutional development•• Gender equality and human development•• Vital infrastructure•• Inclusive growth and private sector development•• Climate and disaster resilience

Tier 3
Measures IDA’s operational effectiveness of its products, notably the performance of its portfolio, resultsorientation of the operations (including through the use of impact evaluations), the use of country publicfinancial management and procurement systems, and the implementation of IDA17 special themes.

Tier 4
Measures IDA’s organizational effectiveness to respond better to clients. Specifically, Tier 4 captures indicators
to track efficiency, effectiveness and value for money in achieving development results. Tier 4 includes
indicators on speed and cost of operational delivery and administrative costs, use of IDA commitments
dedicated to impact evaluation and other evidence-based approaches and increased statistical capacity. It
also monitors IDA countries’ feedback on the WBG responsiveness and staff accessibility, and collaboration
with others partners, including in Fragile and Conflict States (FCSs).
1 IDA17 covered the period from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017.

2 This is the last update of the IDA17 RMS. The first update of the IDA18 RMS that was approved during the IDA18 Replenishment will be2

available for the 2018 Annual Meetings.
