The proposed UIIDP supports all three focus areas. The UIIDP’s fundamental objectives and funding directly target the strengthening of urban governance and management systems, participatory strategic and spatial planning, improved transparency and accountability enhanced citizen engagement in decision-making of urban governments (including of women), public private dialogue, and directly financing urban infrastructure and services. By assisting to create well-functioning and productive urban centers, the UIIDP contributes to the WB’s twin goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity.The proposed Operation will be financed through a hybrid of Investment Project Financing (IPF) and Program-for-Results (PforR) instruments. Most of the Operation is financed through the PforR instrument, which has proven to be the optimal and effective mechanism for providing conditional grants to regional states and ULGs, as demonstrated in the ULGDP II. There are four primary reasons for this. First, the UIIDP directly supports the government program and forms a core part of the existing intergovernmental fiscal architecture. Second, the basic goal of the UIIDP is to leverage the improved institutional performance of the local governments it supports to more effectively deliver infrastructure and service delivery, and ensure meeting of broader objectives and maximizing of development impact. Due to the direct relationship between the institutional results and the Program disbursements, the PforR instrument allows for a directly incentive-driven approach to achieve the Program Development Objective (PDO). Through the use of disbursement linked indicators (DLIs), the UIIDP will ensure that incentives of the regional and local levels of government are effectively aligned around the goals of the Program. Third, the Program will use, improve, and integrate GoE and local government systems, including public FM, social and environmental systems management and procurement systems. Fourth, the PforR instrument has proven as an effective and efficient tool in the implementation of the ULGDP II and this modality is critical to the success of the program. The government’s new UIIDP (2018–23) envisions that all cities will gradually generate increasing levels of municipal own-source revenues, with which to finance investments in infrastructure and deliver services. However, this will be a long-term process. |

(i) strengthen the quality and transparency of fiscal decision-making; and
(ii) improve the governance of the electricity sector
The development objective of Fiscal Sustainability and Energy Development Policy Financing (DPF) Project for Madagascar are to: (i) strengthen the quality and transparency of fiscal decision-making; and (ii) improve the governance of the electricity sector. The first development objective of this operation contributes to ensuring the implementation of the planned investments in a fiscally sustainable manner, considering liabilities that are recorded both on and off budget. The second development objective supports the implementation of Jiro sy Rano Malagasy's (JIRAMA’s) business plan and is a necessary building block for increasing access to reliable and affordable energy. The DPF supports JIRAMA’s reforms by improving corporate financial governance, institutionalizing least-cost investment planning and competitive generation procurement, and reducing commercial losses. Improving the governance of the electricity sector is likely to signal an improvement in the business environment to investors and make JIRAMA more financially attractive as an off-taker, a key prerequisite to attract private sector involvement in generation.The DPF is complementary to the investment program and the budget support operation supported by the World Bank. This approach reflects lessons learned from implementation completion reports (ICR) for the reengagement and resilience DPFs that continuity in the policy dialogue can be promoted when the reforms are closely integrated with Investment Policy Financing (IPFs). |

The Development Policy Operation (DPO) is the first of a series of three operations that support Kenya’s policy and institutional reforms to (i) promote efficiency, transparency, and equity of public finance; (ii) foster more competitive and inclusive product and labor markets; and (iii) strengthen climate action. This DPO of US$1.2 billion, financed by IBRD and IDA (including the Window for Refugees and Host Communities), supports the ambitious reform agenda of the Government of Kenya (GoK) to drive transformational change in the country. It is tailored to Kenya’s challenging macroeconomic context, framed by tight global and domestic credit conditions, fiscal pressures, shocks from climate change, and persistent poverty and inequality. The DPO is designed to address the country’s short-term challenges by strengthening fiscal, economic, and environmental institutions that will simultaneously lay the foundations for a more prosperous, green, and inclusive future. This DPO also supports Kenya in a difficult economic climate as it hosts a significant population of refugees and asylum seekers while undertaking a process of refugee policy reforms. There are over 550,000 refugees and almost 200,000 asylum seekers in the country (320,572 refugees and asylum seekers in Dadaab Camp and 271,995 in Kakuma Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement). The camps and settlement are managed by the GoK’s Department of Refugee Services (DRS), with support from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other humanitarian partners. The inflow of refugees has significantly changed the spatial and social dynamics of host counties. The GoK has demonstrated its commitment to the Global Compact on Refugees by enacting the Refugees Act of 2021, Cap 173 of Laws of Kenya, which grants refugees more rights and protections, and by drafting the Shirika Plan in 2024, which seeks to create more integrated settlements where refugees can live, access social services, and work alongside Kenyans. |

The objective of the Chhattisgarh Public Financial Management and Accountability Program Project is to: improve accountability in the management of public finances; strengthen revenue administration; and improve efficiency in delivery of benefits in selected schemes, in the state of Chhattisgarh. India is among the world’s fastest growing economies and has made remarkable progress in poverty reduction and human development. Wide-ranging and ongoing macroeconomic, fiscal, tax and business environment reforms have enabled rapid growth. Already the third largest economy in the world in purchasing parity terms, the country is expected to grow at over 7 percent a year in coming years. Over the past thirty years, per capita incomes quadrupled, poverty retreated, illiteracy rates dropped, and health-related statistics improved. India’s extreme poverty rate halved from 46 percent to 21 percent in the two decades up to 2011. While growth in India has been impressive, it needs to be equally shared; India faces social, institutional and policy challenges. To meet the development goals, India needs to adapt its institutions to improve public sector performance and deliver services effectively to its citizens. Improvements in service delivery requires improvements in accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness along the chain from inputs to outcomes. Competition between states is part of a new dynamic to incentivize change, using funding to hold states accountable for progress based upon their own priorities. India has a federal, three-tier structure of Government comprising the national or Union level; states; and districts. The fiscal relationship between the Union and the States is reflected in revenue sharing, devolution of central taxes and assistance in the form of grants. Recent policy level changes at the Union level, have increased the share of Union resources devolved to the states, reduced the share of resources through tied transfers under Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) and introduced a Goods and Service Tax (GST) that is expected to contribute to growth in state revenues. In the medium term, increases in untied resources are expected to result in states managing nearly 60 percent of total public expenditure. The move toward increased expenditure flexibility for states presents both an opportunity and challenge. The opportunity lies in the greater freedom to align local development needs and priorities with the resources available. The challenge lies in the development of robust public financial management systems that can allocate and deliver resources in line with policy priorities. |

The proposed operation would support the following three development objectives:i) improve the quality of public financial management; ii) improve the financial management of key State Owned Enterprises; and iii) improve extractive revenue transparency. The proposed operation is fully aligned with the objectives set out in the most recent World Bank Interim Strategy Note (ISN) to: (I.a.) address fiscal and balance of payments pressures through the provision of financing and through the attendant participation in the policy dialogue; (II.c.) update the mining sector regulatory and institutional framework and seek participation in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI); and (III.c.) improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and planning in public spending. The overarching themes throughout are public sector effectiveness and accountability. Solomon Islands are a fragile, post-conflict small island state and the poorest in the Pacific when measured in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. Most of the population continues to be dispersed across rural areas of the archipelago, where they largely depend on subsistence agriculture. This caps food poverty rates, but exposes the population to environmental shocks. Poverty rates are higher in urban areas, where traditional safety nets are weaker and unemployment rates are high. A former British protectorate, the country became independent in 1978 and enjoyed twenty years of moderate but sustained economic growth and improvement in social indicators. The grant is the first in a series of two development policy operations in support of Solomon Islands transition from post-conflict recovery to sustainable development in the context of its National Development Strategy (NDS). The operation will support the following World Bank Interim Strategy Note (ISN) objectives: (a) address fiscal and balance of payments pressures through the provision of financing and through the attendant participation in the policy dialogue; (b) update the mining sector regulatory and institutional framework and seek participation in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI); and (c) improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and planning of public spending. The operation complements similar support, cited above, provided by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the European Commission (EC). |

P120946 | 2,011 | 0 | 0 | 0 | VN-Public Investment Reform 2 Though Vietnam's economy has grown rapidly, the bulk of this growth has come through factor accumulation, with modest contribution from productivity growth. The country therefore cannot achieve its objective of growing at 7 to 8 percent, as indicated in its Socio-economic Development Strategy (SEDS) 2011-2020, without raising the productivity of investment, especially public investment. The reforms supported by PIR 2 attempt to improve the effectiveness of public investment through better project selection, implementation, financial management and oversight.
In doing so, PIR 2 supports one of the emerging priorities of the SEDS 2011-2020, namely to raise productivity of investment. The operation also supports modern governance, which is one of the four main pillars of Vietnam's Socio-Economic Development Plan (SEDP) 2006-2010. The Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) is aligned to the SEDP. Better planning processes, more transparent procurement and stronger public financial management, all areas covered by the proposed program, fall under the modern governance pillar of SEDP.
Through its focus on the environmental screening and the environmental management of projects, the proposed program is also expected to contribute to the natural resources pillar of SEDP. Its attention to fair compensation and livelihood support in the event of land acquisition should also contribute to the social inclusion pillar. The objective of the Second Public Investment Reform Operation Program for Vietnam is to support one of the emerging priorities of the Socio-economic Development Strategy (SEDS) 2011-2020, namely to raise productivity of investment. Improving the efficiency of investment has emerged as one of the key economic priorities in Vietnam. The country has already achieved rapid economic growth and fast poverty reduction over the last twenty years. However, there is a growing concern that the momentum of a growth strategy that is largely based on factor accumulation may have run its course. Vietnam has one of the highest investments to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratios in the world, averaging around 43 percent of GDP during the past five years. But the growth rate has not been commensurate with this high investment rate. The inefficiencies in public investment are partly the result of inherited institutional constraints. During the command and control period, public sector investments used to be managed by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI). MPI used to compile proposals from line ministries, provincial governments and State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and arbitrate among competing demands. The weaknesses of the public investment cycle have also resulted in cost overruns, time delays and slow disbursement of development assistance. There are important gaps between Vietnam's national system and international practices in areas such as environmental screening and environmental management, project preparation and appraisal, procurement, public financial management, the regulatory framework for private participation in infrastructure, and monitoring and evaluation. The program is designed to assist the government of Vietnam (GoV) to strengthen the selection, preparation, implementation and supervision of public investment projects. While much progress has been made over the last decade in the upgrading of public financial management in relation to recurrent expenditures, there are still important weaknesses in the management of investment projects. The program supports a series of policy measures which are expected to strengthen the effectiveness of public investment in Vietnam. The program aims to improve all public investment projects, regardless of their source of funding. The operation, is the second and last in a programmatic series of two. |

The Second Economic Management and Competitiveness Credit (EMCC-2) is part of a programmatic series of 3 Development Policy Operations (DPOs, FY13-16). The series supports Vietnam's economic management reforms to enhance competitiveness for growth and poverty reduction. It is the main channel for policy dialogue between the government, the World Bank and several Development Partners on priority economic management issues highlighted in Vietnam's Socio Economic Development Plan (SEDP, 2011-2015). The first operation in the series (EMCC-1) was approved by the Board of Executive Directors on March 19, 2013. The proposed amount for the second operation is $250 million. The EMCC supports reforms in a number of large and complex areas. Several prior actions under EMCC-1 (and 2) have helped to set the overarching policy frameworks for priority reforms including in the banking sector, debt management, anti-corruption, tax administration, and others. The EMCC dialogue has contributed extensively to developing these policy frameworks, which are now turning to implementation. Therefore prior to actual implementation, there is usually extensive review and consultation of current policies, before policy changes are effected through legislative amendment. Although this can be a lengthy process, there has been incremental change in the right direction. |
