Introduction
The International Development Association (IDA)
is one of the largest sources of assistance for theworld’s 76 poorest countries, 39 of which are in
Africa. Overseen by 173 shareholder nations,
IDA aims to reduce poverty by providing credits
and grants for programs that boost economic
growth, reduce inequalities, and improve
people’s living conditions.
The IDA Results Measurement System (RMS)
is a framework designed to show aggregateddevelopment results across IDA countries basedon global development goals and key drivers ofefforts aimed at poverty reduction and sharedprosperity. The IDA RMS provides a snapshotof country-level, long-term development
outcomes from collective efforts by countries
and their development partners, including IDA;

Tier
1development results in countries supported by
IDA operations across different sectors; and IDA’sorganizational and operational effectiveness.
During the IDA18 Replenishment, the IDA RMS
was revised to: (i) align with the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs); (ii) reflect the IDA18
Special Themes (Climate Change; Gender;
Fragility, Conflict, and Violence; Jobs andEconomic Transformation; and Governanceand Institutions); and (iii) ensure data quality,
efficiency, and selectivity and harmonization
with the World Bank Group (WBG) Corporate
Scorecard.
The IDA18 RMS uses a three-tiered development
results framework with 84 indicators to track
results of IDA countries at an aggregate level.

IDA Results Stories
IDA’s Development Impact at
the Country Level
IDA is country-based; it works closely with developing countries
to identify their development problems and articulate tailoredsolutions. All IDA Country Partnership Frameworks (CPFs) are
now underpinned by Systematic Country Diagnostics (SCDs)
and WBG-wide cooperation is embedded.

In Bangladesh, the FY11–15 Country Assistance Strategy (CAS)was closely linked to country priorities and well-grounded inanalytical work. The CAS took advantage of mid-course corrections to further streamline the program, and the country maderemarkable progress in poverty reduction, GDP growth, exports,and human development, reaching lower middle-income status
in 2015. Bangladesh achieved a substantial expansion of its safety
net among the poorest. Notably, IDA provided support throughthe Disability and Children at Risk Project (FY09–16) and several
related operations that helped to strengthen the social protection
system. As of April 2016, more than 370,000 persons with disabilities (of which approximately 160,500 were female) were receiving
services, and more than 6,000 children at risk were receiving childprotection services. In July 2016, 93.5 percent of beneficiaries
reported satisfaction with services received at disability service
centers. Women’s participation in employment generation programs also increased from 20 percent to 36 percent by the endof FY15, generating 195 million person-days of employment for
more than three million individuals.
Ethiopia’s FY13–16 CAS effectively leveraged IDA financing,
partnering with the European Union, Finland, Italy, Japan, United
Nations Development Programme, United States Agency forInternational Development, and World Food Program, as well as
the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers.
This partnership benefited implementation and development
impact in several operations. As a result of the Productive Safety
Nets Program (FY15–21), food insecurity of project beneficiaries
decreased from 3.2 months to 1.8 months by the end of FY16.
Project results showed that social accountability tools could
help to improve service delivery. The project also broughtsome 1.2 million hectares of land under sustainable land and water management practices,increasing productive resources for communities
across the country, including for crop production,
apiculture, and animal husbandry. In addition,
two General Education Quality Improvement
Projects, I (FY09–14) and II (FY14–20), contributed to student learning, with a National Learning
Assessment showing significant gains in basic proficiency in all subjects between 2011 and 2015. For
example, for grade 8, basic competence or above
increased in English from 54 percent to 62 percent,and in mathematics from 68 percent to 74 percent.
In Zambia, the Bank and IFC collaborated througha joint initiative in the Scaling Solar Program,which aims to bring commercial financing andexpertise to sub-Saharan Africa countries, tomobilize privately funded, grid-connected solar
projects at competitive tariffs. The program
brought competition to Zambia, helping toachieve a low tariff of US$0.06 per kWh. In addition, MIGA provided a guarantee of up to US$29.1
million to Tata Power Company to support thedevelopment, construction, and operation of a
120 MW hydro station in Itezhi Tezhi, furthering
Zambia’s use of clean energy.
The CPFs of IDA FCS were well aligned withgovernment strategies, and all recent CPFs
centrally addressed governance, gender, andjobs and economic transformation. While almost
all FCS faced internal or external crisis, some,such as Liberia, the Solomon Islands, andGambia, nonetheless had positive
development outcomes.
In Liberia, there was progressin increasing access toelectricity, all-season
roads, and internet
services. Under

the Electricity System Enhancement Project(FY11–17), the number of people provided withaccess to electricity more than quadrupled from
14,270 in 2012 to 67,000 by May 2017; the West
Africa Regional Communications Infrastructure
Project (FY11–17) helped raise access to theinternet from 1.7 people in 100 in 2012 to 3 people
in 100 in 2017; and the Third Reengagement andReform Support Program (FY11–13) supported
the consolidation and digitization of land records
and improved land administration, enabling 99
percent of deeds to be consolidated in 2016 (ofwhich 95 percent were digitized).
In Solomon Islands, there was improved resilience to climate change and natural hazards: asa result of multiple trust-funded operations, the2017 National Disaster Risk Management Plan
was implemented in three provinces, enabling
approximately 42,000 people to benefit fromclimate change adaptation and/or disaster risk
management investments.
Finally, in Gambia, as a result of multiple education projects, the quality of learning outcomesfor basic education improved, with 95 percent ofteachers maintaining a 90 percent attendance
rate by June 2016, and 43 percent of students
reaching the minimum literacy standard on thegrade 3 National Assessment Test in 2016.

Climate Change

IDA countries experience high exposure and sensitivity to climate shocks,
and low capacity to buffer their economies and communities from climate
and disaster risks. For these reasons, climate change is an urgent IDApriority. IDA helps countries cope with climate change by building
resilience and reducing vulnerability—through the introduction ofearly-warning systems, drought-resistant crops, and alternative
sustainable livelihoods. IDA also supports climate-change
mitigation by helping countries to transition to low-carbon fuels,
including renewables, and to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions while nonetheless supporting their overall development efforts.
In Mozambique, a Roads and Bridges Management and Maintenance
Program (Phase II) (FY07–19) has helped to rehabilitate and strengthen
more than 300 km of flood-damaged roads and other vital infrastructure
in Gaza province, where floods reached 70 percent of the transportation
network. The program supported a systemic change in the design,
construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of roads to make them moreclimate-resilient, focusing, among other things, on reshaping, contouring,
re-dimensioning, and gravelling drainage structures.

In Lao PDR, IDA is helping to build climate and disaster resilience by
supporting improved disaster risk management, particularly along the
Mekong River, which is both an increasing source of natural hazards anda key resource for economic growth and poverty reduction. The Mekong
Integrated Water Resources Management Project (FY12–21) provided
US$51 million (including an Additional Financing from IDA18) to finance 25
new or upgraded hydromet stations as well as irrigation and drainage services
to 7,550 hectares. It also helped to develop three joint action plans to addresstransboundary water resource management issues in the Mekong Basin.
In Bangladesh, the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development II Project (FY13–22) provided US$288.40 million (including an
Additional Financing from IDA18) to construct 58 MW of renewable energy
generation capacity and to provide access to almost 10 million direct
beneficiaries in rural areas (6.9 million were reached to date). Direct project
beneficiaries are expected to be 9.8 million in number (6.9 million to date, of
which 60 percent are female). Among other things, some 1.4 million people
will have access to more energy-efficient cooking and/or heating facilities.

Gender

For more than 30 years, IDA has worked to expand the access of girls
and women to education, health care, and opportunities for economic
empowerment. Over the past few cycles, IDA’s approach to gendersignificantly evolved to focus on operations that more effectively
achieve results in closing gaps between women and men, and boys
and girls, by improving endowments, removing impediments
to additional and better jobs, eliminating barriers to asset
ownership and control, and enhancing voice and agency.
In Honduras, a Conditional Cash Transfer Program (FY10–19)
helped build basic delivery systems to provide cash transfers to 234,000
households (as of June 2018), including up to 8,700 households from theindigenous and Afro-Honduran populations. More than 90 percent of the
grantees were women, and project evaluations showed significantly positive
results in improving the health and education outcomes of children in
beneficiary households, as well as in poverty reduction more generally.
In Nepal, the National Rural Transport Program (FY14–20) empowered
women while improving roads, by ensuring that 70 percent of the program’s
three million work days of paid employment went to rural women, whowere also from Nepal’s most marginalized and vulnerable groups (35 percent
were Dalit). Organized into about 2,900 Road Maintenance Groups, monthly
wages and savings enabled 13 percent of the groups to save more than
US$490, while 68 percent were linked with local cooperatives to generatealternative income with the involvement of their family members.
In Ethiopia, the Women Entrepreneurship Development Project (FY12–20) in 2013 created the country’s first women entrepreneur-focused line ofcredit, leading to a surge in demand for business credit. By August 2019,
more than 13,000 women entrepreneurs had taken loans (62 percent for
the first time), and impact evaluation data shows that the average loan
generated an increase of 41 percent in annual profits and 56 percent in net
employment over the initial three-year period. In addition, the project hashelped more than 19,000 women to complete business training, including
social, technical, vocational, and entrepreneurship components, thereby
raising their earnings by about 28 percent on average.

Fragility, Conflict and Violence

IDA18 articulates a differentiated approach to Fragility, Conflict andViolence (FCV) to ensure that WBG responses are adapted to various
situations of fragility before, during, and after conflict. IDA provides
financing to countries aiming to prevent the onset, escalation, andrecurrence of violent conflict. This includes addressing drivers offragility and conflict; developing multi-sectoral approaches
to resilience; and supporting forcibly displaced persons andhost communities.
In Yemen, the Yemen Emergency Crisis Response Project (FY17–22)
provided US$840 million (including two Additional Financings from
IDA18) to help build resilience, protect vulnerable Yemenis, and preserve
development gains. Supported activities included emergency vaccinationand income support for 1.45 million households that faced famine.

In Pakistan, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Temporarily
Displaced Persons Emergency Recovery Project (FY16–20) provided
US$189 million (including an Additional Financing from IDA18) to catalyze
early recovery of families affected by militancy, promote child health, andstrengthen emergency response safety net delivery systems in affectedareas. To deliver grant assistance, identification services, and child healthservices, 15 safe One-Stop-Shops were established and equipped with
ATMs and a banking desk. The project enabled 80 percent of 360,000
displaced families to receive cash grants that supported resettlement andconsumption while they re-established their livelihoods, with (on average)
63 percent of the grant monies used for basic needs, 14 percent used for
health expenses, and 10 percent used for child education.
In Bangladesh, the Emergency Multi-Sector Rohingya Crisis Response
Project (FY19–22), funded from the Sub-Window for Refugees and Host
Communities, supports a medium-term government response to the
Rohingya crisis. By the end of the project, it aims to provide 532,000 people
with access to improved public infrastructure, 55,500 with access to climateresilient multipurpose disaster shelters, and 100,000 with community
workfare and services.

Fragility, Conflict and Violence(continued)

In the Central African Republic, labor-intensive road rehabilitation works
delivered by the LONDO Project (FY16–25) provided US$120 million(including an Additional Financing from IDA18) to provide 1.2 million workdays of temporary employment to about 30,500 vulnerable persons to date,including unemployed youths and women (40 percent of the total).
The North Core Regional Power Interconnector (FY19–25) aims to build
a high-voltage transmission line connecting Nigeria, Niger, Bénin,and Burkina Faso to help integrate these Sahelian countries into theWest African Power Pool, so that they enjoy more affordable and reliable
access to electricity as well as less dependency on imported fuels. The
project—co-financed by the African Development Bank, Agence Française
de Développement, European Union, and government of Nigeria—wasdesigned to accommodate each country’s fragility dynamics. Key successfactors included adopting a centralized professional implementing unit,
which allows the project to be implemented simultaneously acrosscountries while helping to build the capacity of national utilities; and adding
a rural electrification component to reach underserved populations along
the transmission line. A rural electrification component of the project is
expected to electrify 252 localities in Niger, serving 243,000 people, and 150
localities in Burkina Faso, serving 189,000 people.

Jobs and Economic Transformation

Delivering more and better jobs in IDA countries requires facilitating
economic transformation and moving workers from lower- to higherproductivity activities. IDA-supported projects ensure that private sectorled economic transformation and job creation are underpinned bypolicy, regulatory, and institutional reform as well as investments
in quality infrastructure and service delivery, which result ingreater inclusion, connectivity, and productivity. WBG efforts
to help create jobs are targeting connectivity to markets,
enabling private investment and strengthening capabilities.
In Papua New Guinea, the Urban Youth Employment Project(FY11–20), in partnership with the governments of Australia and Korea,
provided more than 18,500 unemployed urban youth in Port Moseby withincome, training, and temporary employment opportunities (41 percent
of participants were young women). This created approximately 815,000
labor days, including many projects that helped to improve community
infrastructure throughout the city.

In Rwanda, the Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting, and Hillside Irrigation
Project (FY10–18) improved the productivity and commercialization ofhillside agriculture, strengthened value chains for agricultural products, andexpanded access to rural finance, while improving hillside land husbandry
technologies, techniques, and infrastructure. Between 2009 and 2017, theproductivity of hillside agriculture increased tenfold for target irrigated areas
and fivefold for targeted non-irrigated areas, reaching more than 292,000
beneficiaries (including more than 142,000 women), and minimizing erosion
and sediment load by 76 percent.
In Uzbekistan, a development policy operation supporting Reforms for a
Sustainable Transformation to a Market Economy (FY18–20) helped thecountry to open its economy after 25 years as a closed economy. The project
helped to liberalize the exchange rate and administered price controls,
relaxed agricultural crop restrictions, and expanded safety nets to ensure
support for people who were vulnerable during the market transition. A
flagship action was the removal of foreign exchange controls, which small
and medium businesses cited as the most binding constraint to their growthand profitability. The operation also supported reforms to promote financial
recovery and transparency in energy utility companies, lower customs tariffs,
and improve labor market conditions for part-time workers.

Jobs and Economic Transformation(continued)

In Bangladesh, the Private Sector Development Support Project(FY11–21) has helped transform the market for serviced land for greenfield
investments. Between 2011 and 2018, the project helped attract nearly
US$3 billion of private investments and generated more than 23,000 jobs(of which 20 percent are held by female workers). By March 2019, 21 public
and private economic zones had been licensed, and 11 were operational.
The Pacific Regional ICT Program helps the Federated States ofMicronesia, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands,
Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu to address critical infrastructure gaps andliberalize local telecommunications markets to enhance private competition.
Overall, there has been remarkable service improvement in telecom services
across the Pacific region: regionally, the cost of mobile calls declined by
one third between 2005–2014; in Papua New Guinea mobile phone accessincreased from 4.7 percent in 2007 to 65 percent in 2019; across Samoa,
Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu mobile phone coverage jumped fromless than half of the population in 2005 to more than 95 percent by 2018;
and the price of bandwidth in Samoa fell from US$1500/Mbps/month in2015 to US$50 in 2018 and in Tonga fell from more than US$600/Mbps/
month in 2010 to less than US$75 in 2018.
The Economic Opportunities for Jordanian and Syrian Refugees Project(FY17–21) has helped the government of Jordan provide Syrians withflexible and free schemes to enter the labor market. Since 2016, about
70,000 Syrians have had access to a work permit. In addition, the operation
helped Syrians in and out of camps to seek work and introduced protection
measures, including them in the labor force survey to better monitor their
participation in the labor market. The project also supports the developmentof a new legal framework, allowing home-based businesses for a large setof activities. Seventy percent of registered home-based businesses are run
by women, showing that this type of business is a good way to overcome
the social norms and constraints that traditionally hinder women’s access toeconomic opportunities.

Governance and Institutions

IDA helps countries to build open, effective, and accountable institutions
for inclusive development by strengthening government systems needed
to provide services to the bottom 40 percent; promoting a social contract that builds trust between citizens and their government; andfacilitating private-sector growth by raising confidence in theinstitutional environment to crowd-in capital.
In Sierra Leone, IDA supports government efforts to modernize
revenue administration through automizing the Customs andDomestic Taxes Departments; as a result, revenue collections doubled
in the first quarter of 2019 over the same quarter in 2018.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, through the Strengthening Public
Financial Management (PFM) and Accountability Project (FY14–22), theBank provided support to the province of Nord-Kivu to establish a taxpayer
register, undertake an awareness campaign, and improve the mobility of tax
officers through motorbikes. These activities helped increase the province’s
revenues by more than 70 percent between 2014 and 2017, allowing it tofund from its own budget investments in basic physical and social infrastructure, such as roads, health, and education.

In FY19, the Bank supported several important debt transparency reforms
through advisory services or operational engagements.
In Ethiopia, a development policy operation enhanced debt transparency
through the publication of expanded annual debt reports and quarterly
debt reports, from mid-2019 onwards. The expanded reports include:
enhanced reporting on the external debt of state-owned enterprises,
guarantees, and called guarantees; additional details on debt holders;and improved analytical components.
Cameroon and Senegal increased their debt coverage in a recent Debt
Sustainability Analysis prepared under a joint Bank-Fund Debt Sustainability
Framework.
In Togo, the Bank helped the Ministry of Finance of Togo design the country’s
first public debt portal, consolidating in one website all of Togo’s debtrelated information—including debt statistics, debt-related documents andlegislation, and an issuance calendar. The portal resides on the website of
the Ministry of Finance.

TIER 1: IDA Countries Progress

Tier 1 of the IDA18 RMS reports long-term development outcomes and the broader context ofcountries in which IDA operates. Progress in Tier 1
indicators is not directly attributed to IDA’s interventions; it is the outcome of collective efforts bycountries and their development partners. Thereare 33 indicators in Tier 1 tracking progress that
IDA-eligible countries are making on development indicators organized into four categories:(1) WBG goals of poverty eradication and boosting
shared prosperity, (2) growth, (3) sustainability
and resilience, and (4) inclusiveness.

Data for RMS is updated and reported annuallyduring the IDA cycle at the time of the WorldBank Annual Meetings in October. Tier 1
aggregates data from the list of eligible IDA
borrowers at the end of the previous fiscal year.
This second update of Tier 1 indicators reports
aggregated results from IDA’s eligible borrowers
as of June 30, 2019. Data from previous years,
including baselines, may be retroactively
adjusted due to improvements in data
availability, coverage, and other changes.

TIER 2: IDA-Supported Development Results

Tier 2 of the IDA18 RMS tracks development
results in countries supported by IDA operations.
Tier 2 indicators report on outcomes andoutputs supported directly by IDA projects,
which are collected and aggregated fromdata extracted from project documents, i.e.,
Implementation Status and Results Reports(ISRs), Implementation Completion and Results
Reports (ICRs), and Project Appraisal Documents(PADs). The majority of these indicators are
Corporate Results Indicators (CRIs), a set ofstandard indicators monitored at the corporate
level and used to report aggregate project
results to internal and external constituents.
Tier 2 includes 21 indicators in the IDA18 RMS,
tracking aggregate project outcome and output
indicators in three categories—(1) growth,(2) inclusiveness, and (3) sustainability andresilience—to reflect the link to WBG strategy.

No.

Indicator

Unit ofMeasureThe methodology used for aggregating Tier 2
indicators (IDA-supported results) was adjusted1
by calculating cumulative totals of outcomes andoutputs achieved during a period or adding up
the values as we go or report on (i.e., “how much
we have achieved so far”). Running totals are
generated and reported during the IDA18 cycle(i.e., FY18 data during the first year, FY18 and FY19
data in the second year, and FY18 through FY20
data in the third and final year of the IDA18 cycle).
Therefore, results currently reported on Tier 2
correspond to cumulative results achieved by IDAsupported projects during FY18 and FY19.
The FY17 harmonized list for FCS (released in June2017) was used for aggregating and reporting
results achieved in these countries. The same list will
be used throughout the IDA18 cycle to ensure datacomparability and consistency across the years.

are for all IDA countries; no standards have been established for FCS.
6. Reflecting the alignment of this indicator—in terms of definition and target—with the IDA18 policy commitment to “support the addition of five GW in renewableenergy generation,” the value reported corresponds to operations or activities supporting the addition of 6.9 GW of renewable energy generation in IDA countries
that were approved or initiated during FY18 and FY19. Of this, about 1.5 GW were provided through direct financing; the additional 5.4 GW were supported throughindirect financing.
7. The number of female beneficiaries are not included since these infrastructure services are normally provided to groups (e.g., at the community, household, or general
population level), and data collected and reported are not disaggregated by sex at the client/beneficiary level.

14. The baseline value reflects annual performance standards as of the end of FY17, unless noted otherwise. Data was not available for some new indicators developed for IDA18 RMS.
15. This indicator is a vestige of the previous system that was based on the number of completed operations, focusing only on a tally of numbers and not on results. The new GenderTag methodology was introduced in FY17, and there is therefore a lag for gender-tagged operations closing and ICR completion (of the 8 projects that closed in FY19 only 1 ICR
was completed), creating challenges as this would only allow for a very small sample size.

2. Growth rate of real per capita income of the bottom 40%: Median of the annualized growth rates of average real per capita
income (or consumption) of the bottom 40% of client countries’ population. This growth rate refers to the annualized growth rateof real per capita income (or consumption) of the poorest 40% of the population for each country, measured over an approximate
reporting period (e.g., circa 2010–15). Selection of income or consumption follows the World Bank’s Global Poverty Monitoring(PovcalNet). This median is calculated from annualized growth rates from IDA countries that have household survey data for thereporting period. Countries that lack survey data from this period are excluded from the index calculation.

3. Annual growth rate of real GDP per capita: Annual percentage growth rate of GDP per capita based on constant local
currency. Aggregates are based on constant 2010 U.S. dollars. GDP per capita is gross domestic product divided by midyear
population. GDP at purchaser’s prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any
product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions fordepreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Aggregation is weighted average.

5. Non-agriculture sectors, value added: Net output of non-agriculture sectors as percentage of GDP, calculated as subtracting
agriculture value added (as percentage of GDP) from 100. The non-agriculture sectors refer to the industry and services sectors.
Industry corresponds to the International Standard Industrial Classification divisions 10–45 and comprises value added inmining, manufacturing (also reported as a separate subgroup), construction, electricity, water, and gas. Services correspond to
International Standard Industrial Classification divisions 50–99 and include value added in wholesale and retail trade (including
hotels and restaurants), transport, and government, financial, professional, and personal services such as education, health care,and real estate services. Also included are imputed bank service charges, import duties, and any statistical discrepancies notedby national compilers as well as discrepancies arising from rescaling. Value added is the net output of a sector after adding up all
outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or

6. Level of statistical capacity Statistical capacity indicator provides an overview of the statistical capacity of developing
countries. It is based on a diagnostic framework developed with a view to assessing the capacity of national statistical systems
using metadata information generally available for most countries, and monitoring progress in statistical capacity building overtime. The framework has three dimensions: statistical methodology; source data; and data periodicity and timeliness. For eachdimension, a country is scored against specific criteria, using information available from the World Bank and other international
agencies. A composite score for each dimension and an overall score combining all three dimensions are derived for each country
on a scale of 0–100. A higher score indicates a higher level of capacity. Aggregation is un-weighted average. Data are from the Dataon Statistical Capacity portal site. Data is reported for all IDA eligible countries, including blend countries, in a reporting fiscal year.

7. Trade Logistics Performance Index Logistics Performance Index overall score reflects perceptions of a country’s logistics
based on efficiency of customs clearance process, quality of trade- and transport-related infrastructure, ease of arranging competitively priced shipments, quality of logistics services, ability to track and trace consignments, and frequency with which shipments
reach the consignee within the scheduled time. The index ranges from 1 to 5, with a higher score representing better performance.
Data are from Logistics Performance Index surveys conducted by the World Bank in partnership with academic and international
institutions and private companies and individuals engaged in international logistics. Respondents evaluate eight markets on six
core dimensions on a scale from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The markets are chosen based on the most important export and importmarkets of the respondent’s country, random selection, and, for landlocked countries, neighboring countries that connect themwith international markets. Scores for the six areas are averaged across all respondents and aggregated to a single score using
principal components analysis. Aggregation is unweighted average. Data is reported for all IDA eligible countries, including blend
countries, in a reporting fiscal year.

8. Number of IDA countries that have raised taxes/GDP above 15% Tax revenue in local currency divided by GDP in local
currency. The indicator is a key measure of domestic resource mobilization in IDA countries. The indicator (and threshold of 15%)
was established by the IMF in consideration of: (i) close to half of LICs still have tax below 15% of GDP; (ii) empirical evidence showsthat once the tax-to-GDP level reaches12.75%, real GDP per capita increases sharply and in a sustained manner over several years;(iii) 15% is the threshold for resources needed for an effective state.

9. Number of IDA countries that have an improved composite PEFA score In dimensions across the pillars of budget reliability,transparency of public finances, and control in budget execution:(1.1) Aggregate expenditure outturn(9.1) Public access to fiscal information(24.2) Procurement methods
The 3 dimensions selected represent 3 important elements of PFM performance from 3 different pillars of the PEFA methodology:
budget reliability; transparency of public finances; and predictability and control in budget execution. The baseline score for eachcountry would be the numerated value of the average scores of the three dimensions for the most recent PEFA assessment. For
example, A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 and NU/NR=0. Annual calculation of the progress would be calculated as follows:Significant improvement = 2 points• At least 2 of the 3 indicators show improvement in scores• At least 2 of the 3 indicators keeps the same score “A” or “B”• At least 1 of the indicators keeps the scores “A” or “B” plus at least 1 of the indicators improves

1. Farmers adopting improved agricultural technology: This indicator measures the number of farmers of the project who haveadopted 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 atechnology 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,

8. People who have received essential health, nutrition, and population services: The indicator measures the sum of thenumber of children immunized, the number of women and children who have received basic nutrition services, and the number ofdeliveries attended by skilled health personnel, through operations funded by IDA.
• 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 refers to the total beneficiaries reached by any of thefollowing services: direct feeding programs (supplementary feeding for pregnant and lactating women and infants andyoung children under age 5); programs promoting appropriate infant and young child feeding (e.g., promotion/support for

Net greenhouse gas emissions: Project net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are calculated as an annual average of thedifference between project gross (absolute) emissions aggregated over the economic lifetime of the project and the emissions ofa 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, andAgriculture)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 projectis 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 arereported for the entire projects regardless of the share of IBRD or IDA financing.

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 Bank will support countries participating in OGP and thoseinterested in taking actions to become eligible. The Bank will be notified for every instance an IDA country formally accepts entry
into the OGP. The Bank tracks and documents the support provided by each of these countries and report on a yearly basis. Whencountries 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 Bank 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 aredefined as operationalizing the agenda commitments.

In otherwords, an activity can provide adaptation and/or mitigation co-benefits both when climate change is among its stated objectives
or is integrated into the project’s components. The World Bank Systems, Applications, and Products tracks lending commitmentswith climate change co-benefits at the time of project approval in dollar terms, not the volume of emission reductions or increased
climate resilience resulting from the operation.
• Adaptation co-benefits are defined as are the results of an activity that specifically intends to reduce risks from increasingclimate variability or the vulnerability of human or natural systems to the impacts of climate change by maintaining or
increasing adaptive capacity and resilience.
• Mitigation is defined as an activity that provides mitigation co-benefits if it either reduces GHG emissions into the atmosphereor enhances their removal from the atmosphere. Reductions are measured against a “no-project” baseline, and, similar toadaptation, the assessment is based on information in the project’s appraisal and/or supporting documents.
