It also highlights where the program stands today relative to previous years, all in an effort to illustrate strengths and challenges as the program grows both in overall size and thematic content, and how these are being addressed. As agreed, the report focuses on trends and areas of strategic importance. It devotes special attention to a first overview of the role and process of selection of institutional partnerships in the TFESSD portfolio. This represents a work in progress. Similarly, the detailed project-by-project implementation reviews have not been included in this main report of the annual Donor-Bank consultation cycle. Instead, Task Managers have made an effort to provide a summary of recent project developments in the individual project progress reports which are submitted separately. PART 1 ­ OVERALL PROGRESS 1.1 Impact 1. The TFESSD program is now in its fifth year. What has been its impact? The independent evaluation, scheduled to be undertaken in FY05, is expected to answer that question. To the same end, the Bank's regular progress reporting covers outcomes of TFESSD funded projects and their impact on TFESSD objectives. 2. Each of the individual window reports in their respective portfolio reviews (see below) provide highlights of outcomes of TFESSD supported activities that feed into capacity improvements and a richer sectoral and policy dialogue at the country level. Examples range from catalyzing reform programs in inter-sectoral water resources management policy under the Nile Basin Initiative, to facilitating the integration of social accountability in PRSCs in Benin and Uganda, and improving local governance in Albania and Kyrgyz Republic. 3. In addition, TFESSD funded activities are contributing to the integration of environmental and social developmental objectives linked to poverty reduction in major Bank tools and instruments. Two key areas are the scaling up of the Poverty and Social Impact Analysis Studies (PSIA) program of work and the mainstreaming of environment and environmental indicators in Country Assistance Strategies (CASs). 4. (i) PSIA Scale up. TFESSD financing of 11 pilots in FY02-03 helped develop a multi- disciplinary approach that has been rapidly mainstreamed in Bank operations with substantial additional investment from the Bank's own resources. By end-FY04, the total number of PSIAs completed or ongoing will have exceeded 100, of which 62 in PRSP countries. The approach has also been internalized within Bank operational instruments: the revised operational policy for adjustment lending explicitly recognizes PSIA as the approach to understand the poverty and 1 social impacts of policy reforms to be supported by the Bank; and under the revised policy for Poverty Reduction, the CAS will summarize existing knowledge on poverty, analytical gaps, and the proposed work program to fill those gaps. As a result, PSIA is increasingly reflected in the CAS and PRSCs. Interest from bilateral donors has led to the establishment of a PSIA network that facilitates harmonization of approaches as well as the development of a collaborative work program for refinement of methodological approaches and in-country dialogue. 5. (ii) Mainstreaming Environment in the Country Dialogue.. TFESSD funded work on CAS and environment has resulted in much needed good practice documents and learning opportunities for World Bank staff. This work continues to influence the treatment of environmental issues is CASs which regular internal monitoring concludes is improving. The Bank's work on environmental indicators which benefited in large measure from early and continuing TFESSD funding, by disseminating good practice, has resulted in a growing number of CASs including environmental indicators as part of performance monitoring. In addition, this support has helped establish an annual program of publishing the Little Green Data Book, which has become a Bank best-seller. The work on poverty-environment indicators has also been important to clients and development partners, as evidenced by the Poverty-Environment Partnership. Work on poverty-environmental health analysis, supported by TFESSD, has laid the basis for the Environment Department current work program on poverty-environment analysis using household survey data. This program has already produced major papers on determinants of child mortality in India and China which are now on an ongoing basis informing the Bank's dialogue with these and other countries. 1.2 General Overview 6. The TFESSD portfolio of funded activities continues to grow as new projects admitted as a result of successive annual calls outnumber of projects that are completed and closed. As of April 30, 2004 the active portfolio stood at 118 projects, compared to 108 one year ago. This is the net result of 47 projects entering the portfolio during the last year and 37 activities reaching their closing date. 2 Figure 1.1 Figure 1.2 Active Projects FY00-FY04 Approvals and Exits 140 60 120 40 100 Environment Social Poverty Approvals 20 80 Projects Projects of of 0 60 FY00 FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 Number Number-20 40 Exits 20 -40 Environment Social Poverty 0 FY00 FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 -60 7. While TFESSD funds are not explicitly allocated to the individual Windows, each of them are assigned the responsibility to administer and oversee the implementation of TFESSD funded projects the thrusts of which fall loosely within their respective thematic areas or a given Task Manager already has a project. In this sense window portfolios are established. As shown in Figure 1.3, the Environment Window has the largest share (43%) of the portfolio as of April 30, 2004 (this does not include the FY05 recommended list). This reflects the early emphasis on environment in the program. The shares of the Social and Poverty Windows, however, have steadily grown, leading to the current greater balance between the three Windows. Figure 1.3 Number of Active Projects by Window (As of 4/30/04) 20% 43% Environment Social Poverty 37% Total projects = 118 3 8. The growth of the program in recent years has offered the opportunity for TFESSD to meet its main objective which is to catalyze the mainstreaming of environmental, social and poverty dimensions in Bank operations. Over 80 projects have now been completed and a significant number of ongoing projects are at an advanced stage of implementation (see Figure 1.4). As a result, we begin to see results in the form of greater integration of environmental, social, and poverty concerns in Bank country strategies, capacity improvements, and a richer dialogue on the ground. Hence, the proposed independent TFESSD program evaluation for FY05 would be able to rely on substantial experience in its assessment of how well the program is achieving its objectives. Figure 1.4 Number of Closed Projects by Window (FY00-04) 26% 41% Environment Social Poverty 33% Total projects = 82 9. The individual window reports show that the growth of the program has also been accompanied by a broadening of the thematic coverage of the three windows. This is enabling regional managers and staff in the Bank to develop the required analytical foundation and test and pilot implementation methodologies in new and emerging areas of importance for sustainable development, including aspects of natural resource management, vulnerability, conflict, marginalized groups, and governance. These developments are expected to be further reinforced as the recently established Social Protection window becomes active. 10. The large and diverse TFESSD portfolio clearly raises demands on management's attention to effectively allocate, administer and use funds. As elaborated in the individual window reports, program management, including that by the individual Sector Boards, is addressing this challenge in a number of important ways. Most importantly, all three Sector Boards, supported by Window managers, have over the last 6 months engaged in either a strategic portfolio implementation or reallocation reviews involving segments of the portfolios of their respective windows: · The Environment Board completed its annual Portfolio Review involving a subset of 21 projects with outstanding commitments for more than 12 months, low disbursements for the last year, and/or requests for extension of project period. Decisions involved closing 4 of activities, restructuring of design or implementation program, and tagging for extra close monitoring (details in Section 2.3). · The Social Board conducted its Annual Strategic Review of 17 projects which had either started implementation in FY03 or were due to close in June 2004 and had not been subjected to earlier review. As in previous years, the review focused on progress in implementation, including disbursements, operational relevance, spillover effects and sustainability. Decisions taken involved discontinuing, reallocating funds, or redesigning of activities (details in Section 3.2). · The Poverty Board has focused on the reallocation of funds freed up from closing of projects to support ongoing actaiaavities that justifiably needed additional funds to complete planned activities, expand current activities in ways that promote synergies and/ or disseminate results broadly (details in Section 4.1). 11. The TFESSD program does not face any major implementation issues and the annual disbursement of funds continues to increase at about 30% (please see Table 1). However, the reviews by the Sector Boards have helped identify a number of priorities for action. They include (a) the need for improved guidelines and quality enhancement measures for preparation of future activity reporting (stressed in particular by the Environment Board); (b) the need for increased dissemination of products and lessons learned across regions (given the number of completed activities and the advanced stage of many others); and (c) the need for increased reliability of donor fund transfer to enhance the pace and effectiveness of activity implementation. 12. Since the early stages of TFESSD implementation, it has been recognized that program growth also needs to be managed with the view to ensuring the strategic fit with relevant sector strategies and/or priorities in the country assistance dialogue. This objective is effectively addressed through the continued dominant weight assigned to it in the review and approval of new project proposals. Increasingly, regional ESSD managers are being asked to prioritize proposals submitted to calls in order of strategic importance. 13. Looking ahead, future program growth will be constrained by the availability of donor funding. To illustrate: The current average TFESSD project grant is just over $370,000 (Environment higher and Poverty lower). It is spent typically over a two to three year period (Environment activities at the upper range Social and Poverty activities somewhat shorter). It follows that on average an activity will need $125,000 ­ 185,000 per year to support implementation. Based on this, continued annual contributions from donors of about $12.5 million (net of administration fees and investment income) would be able to support an active portfolio of 70-100 projects. This indicative analysis is sufficiently robust to support the following conclusions: · First, continued annual donor funding at current levels will be sufficient to sustain a TFESSD portfolio of present size. If new thematic priorities are to be introduced, current ones will have to give way. 5 · Second, given the size of the present portfolio (118 projects) and the present level of annual donor funds, future decisions to admit new proposals need to be made with due consideration of the amount of TFESSD resources freed up by projects that are expected to "exit" the portfolio. 1.3 Disbursements and Commitments 14. Cumulative total disbursements and commitments as of the end of April, 2004 reached $37.0 million as shown in Figure 1.5 and Table 1 below. The increase since the previous reporting period (October 31, 2003) totaled $8.4 million, an increase of 29% or slightly below the 30% increase that occurred during the last reporting period. Disbursements and commitments continue to increase in absolute terms across all windows (details under individual window reports) with the Poverty window showing a somewhat greater increase in relative terms than the other two windows (31% compared to 29% for Social and 25% for ENV). Figure 1.5 Cumulative Disbursements and Commitments 40,000 35,000 Poverty 30,000 Social Environment 25,000 $ 20,000 Million 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 June '00 Nov '00 June '01 Oct '01 May '02 Oct '02 May '03 Nov '03 June '04 6 Table 1 TFESSD: Receipts, Disbursements, and Fund Balance By Window As of April 30, 2004 ($million) Cumulative Disbursements and Commitments Difference (10/31/03 Receipts/Allocations As of Fund As of As of to Windows FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 Total 3/ 10/31/2003 4/30/03 04/30/2004 04/30/04) Balance Environment 7.572 4.692 7.341 6.150 25.755 12.774 16.021 20.011 3.990 5.077 Social 2.220 2.600 3.832 4.660 13.311 6.535 8.777 11.291 2.514 3.592 Poverty 1.500 1.591 2.363 5.453 2.104 3.053 4.014 0.960 1.746 WDR 1/ 1.000 W.

Disbursements alone are also increasing as shown in Figure 1.6 below. Annual disbursements have risen from $3.8 million during the first year of the TFESSD program (FY01) to $9.1 million during its third year (FY03) and are projected to reach $12.7 million during its fourth year FY04. Figure 1.6 Annual Disbursements for All Windows 14 12 10 $ 8 Projected Million 6 Actual as of 4/30/04 4 2 0 FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 Year 7 16. The Africa region's share of overall disbursements and commitments continues to be below the 50% target but is increasing. As of April 30, 2004 cumulative disbursements and commitments for Africa totaled $17.0 million, equivalent to 48% of the total amount compared to $12.5 million and 44% six months earlier. Four out of five dollars disbursed out of the Social Window have involved Africa based activities. This has resulted in raising the share of the Africa region in the cumulative disbursements under the Social Window from 40 to 49%, confirming a growing concentration of the Social portfolio to that region. The Poverty Window, with its steady 57% Africa region share continues to lead the other two windows with respect to the Africa region share; ENV's Africa share remains at around 44%. 1.4 Fund Balance and Projections 17. The fund balance as of April 30, 2004 was $10.5 million (Table 2 below), representing funds remaining on Trust Fund accounts at various levels waiting to be committed under ongoing or future new projects. This constitutes a modest reduction compared to the balance a year earlier ($11.8 million). It confirms that overall annual disbursements over the last 12 months have been sufficiently large to absorb the increased donor transfers (with Finland's contribution entering for the first time in FY03) and bring about a reduction in the fund balance at the end of the period. 18. The April 30, 2004 fund balance of $10.5 million fund balance is needed to help support allocations of cash to the 118 trust fund accounts for ongoing projects and the accounts that will be set up for new projects waiting to be approved, until FY05 receipts from donors come in. 19. Such FY05 allocations are projected at $17.1 million, i.e., about the same level that was projected for FY04 a year ago, and roughly the same as the current estimated disbursements and end year outstanding commitments for FY04. They include $10.3 million for ongoing activities, first year allocations $7.3 million for new projects that the Bank has recommended for approval (but which await donor review) and $275,000 for program coordination; the latter amount represents a $50,000 increase compared to FY04. This amount will be used to cover projected costs of enhanced systems support for database creation and maintenance. 20. As of April 30, 2004, donor contributions to the TFESSD totaled $46.8 million as shown in Table 2 below. Since the last reporting period, Norway contributed 80 million kroner ($13.1 million USD) and Finland 1.3 million euros ($1.61 million USD). 8 Table 2 TFESSD Cumulative Cash By Donor and Fiscal Year Contributions As of April 30, 2004 Contributions Posting Donor Received (US$) FY Date Norway 3,083,295.71 00 Dec. 99 Norway 2,419,512.00 01 Jul. 00 Norway 4,493,711.00 01 Dec. 00 Norway 5,663,970.24 02 Sept. 01 Norway 292,015.00 02 Feb. 02 Norway 4,762,174.43 02 Mar. 02 Norway 210,493.40 02 Mar. 02 Norway 2,647,889.10 03 Dec.17 Finland 1,321,538.72 03 Jan.7 Norway 8,830,085.99 03 Feb.12 Norway 5,705,238.80 04 Nov.19 Finland 1,615,787.73 04 Dec. 31 Norway 5,762,443.20 04 Apr.29 Total 46,808,155.32 Of which: Norway 43,870,828.87 Finland 2,937,326.45 21. Pending confirmation of expected donor contributions for FY05, it has been assumed that the FY05 contributions from Norway and Finland will remain at their FY04 levels. Including projected investment income and allowing for the 5% administrative fee (as per the Bank's new cost recovery policy for trust fund administration), this translates into estimated receipts to the fund of $12.55 million. The end of year balance is therefore projected to be $ 5.2 million, which will be needed to support FY06 allocations until donor contributions for that FY can be expected. 9 Table 3 Projected FY05 Fund Balance ($000) Fund Balance at 4/30/04 10,480 Projected Balance at 6/30/04 9,760 1/ Minus: FY05 Ongoing Projects, of which: 10,333 Environment 4,774 Social 4,059 Poverty 1,500 New Project approvals 7,333 Environment 1,308 Social 3,600 Poverty 1,425 Social Protection 1,000 Coordination 275 Plus: Estimated New Receipts 2/ 12,550 Projected Fund Balance 4,369 1/ Net of additional FY04 transfers of $720,000 2/ Assumed equivalent to FY05 receipts from the Government of Norway and Finland net of 5% administrative fee and investment income. 1.5 The Social Protection Window 22. The Social Protection (SP) anchor has assigned a Window Manager (Sandor Sipos) and administrative staff (Gertrude Ssali) for the SP window's administration. The SP Board, SP anchor management, and the pertinent thematic group leaders have been active in promoting awareness of the window and the formulation of proposals for the FY05 Call for Proposals. The Call for Proposals was issued, proposals reviewed, and a suggested list is being put forward for the donors' approval. The work of establishing the parent SP trust is underway, and individual trust fund accounts will be set up once the final approvals are given for the proposals now in process. 1.6 Partnering with Institutions in TFESSD Projects 10 23. A key objective of donor assistance is to enhance capacity in recipient countries. Consistent therewith, all activities proposed for TFESSD funding are systematically reviewed against this objective. Entering into partnering arrangements with local, foreign national or international institutions, is one important way to address this objective, as has been born out in the implementation of the TFESSD portfolio. 24. It is also understood with donors, as confirmed at the June 2003 consultations, that in the pursuit of strengthening local capacity building with TFESSD funds, preference should be given to local institutions and consultants. Where international partners are needed, the availability of competitive Norwegian and Finnish institutions and expertise will be explored, recognizing the "untied" nature of TFESSD funds. 25. Given that TFESSD implementation is now in its fourth year, the donors and the Bank have agreed to start reviewing the institutional partnerships that are entered into with the use of TFESSD funds as well as the process by which they are selected. To this end, TFESSD task managers were asked in March 2004 to include information on institutional partnerships entered into in their upcoming semi-annual progress reports. 26. While this first collection of information has provided useful data, it is not comprehensive. The data are likely to improve over time as task managers become accustomed to reporting on (and therefore tracking) their partnerships. Also, the data provided in the reporting were not requested to support an in depth analysis of the role and impact of individual partnerships. Clearly, this would require a much more targeted undertaking distinct from the regular reporting on TFESSD funded activities. (A) Number and Types of Partnerships 27. As might be expected, institutional partnerships are pervasive across the entire TFESSD portfolio. For purposes of the review, the partnerships have been categorized into four types: (i) Local (national institutions in the countries in which the activities are/were conducted) (ii) Norwegian or Finnish, (iii) UN agencies, and (iv) Other institutional partners (for example institutions in Part 1 countries or other Part II countries; international agencies not part of the UN family). 11 Figure 1.7 Figure 1.8 Number of Partnerships by Type Funding of Partnerships by Partner Type All Windows All Windows 6% 5% 9% 25% 2% 27% Norwegian/Finnish UN Local Other 64% 62% Number of partnerships = 405 Total $ amount = $17,851,000 28. As explained in the three Window reports, the partnerships are highly diverse in nature, and scope and objectives vary considerably. A listing of all partner institutions involved in ongoing TFESSD activities and their level of funding for each of the three windows, is provided in Annex 2. · As reported, assistance in implementation and local capacity building is supported by 405 partnerships spread among 115 TFESSD activities (50 from Environment, 38 from Social, and 27 from Poverty). · The Environment Window reported 168 partnerships; the Social Window reported 191 partnerships; and the Poverty Window reported 46 partnerships. Please see Figure 1.9 below. Figure 1.9 Number of Partnerships by Window 11% Environment Social Poverty 41% 48% Total number of partnerships = 405 12 · Local institutions dominate the partnerships across all windows (64%). Many of these institutions are government technical agencies (e.g., statistics, planning, and various line ministries) mandated, for example, to carry out survey work. Other local institutions are social, economic, and strategic planning research institutes, frequently attached to local universities. Still others are local NGOs helping with activities at the community level. · Partnerships involving Norwegian and Finnish institutions represent 6% of all partnerships entered into under ongoing projects. They feature somewhat more frequently in activities managed under the Environment Window than under the Social and Poverty Windows. As a result of the Bank's five-year partnership with Norway under TFESSD (and earlier in the case of environment) the familiarity of managers and staff with the expertise of Norwegian institutions in relevant fields has grown. This is reflected in the involvement of such institutions in ongoing activities. In light of the more recent joining by the Government of Finland in TFESSD, the current level of involvement of Finnish institutions in ongoing projects is for natural reasons limited. · UN agencies account for 5% of all ongoing partnerships (this is likely to be an underestimate since task managers may have been inclined not always to report them given that these agencies typically bring their own funding to the TFESSD activity). They involve FAO, UNDP, UNHCR, UNIFEM and WHO. In scope, these partnerships have involved both programmatic coordination to joint implementation of TFESSD activities. · Other types of partnerships account for 25% of all reported partnerships. They include regional and bilateral aid agencies, technical institutions in the area of sustainable development, and international NGOs. (b) TFESSD Funding of Partnerships 29. Of the activities that reported, a total of $17.9 million have been allocated to partnerships under ongoing activities. This is equivalent to 41% of the total TFESSD funding approved for the activities in which partnerships are included. Of the $17.9 million, $12.7 million (71%) is in the Environment Window; $3.3 million is in the Social Window (19%); and $1.8 million (10%) is in the Poverty Window. 30. The average amount allocated to a partnership was $44,000, which is 12% of the average TFESSD project grant. The great majority of the partnerships are funded by less than 20% of the activity grant. However, in a small number of activities institutional partnerships command the major part of the activity grant. To illustrate, the Cambodia PSIA utilizes 80 percent of the grant to fund FINNMAP's work in that activity. 31. Not all partnerships involve transfer of resources from the TFESSD activity to the institutional partner. Often partners join in activities but provide their own funding. This is especially evident in the case of collaboration reported with various UN agencies, bilateral agencies, and international NGOs. 13 (c) Selection of Partner Institutions 32. Whenever Task Managers enter into institutional partnerships that require transfer of TFESSD resources (and this is typically the situation as described above) the selection of institution follows the World Bank's procurement rules. They require a competitive process of selection based on short-listing of qualified candidate institutions. Exemptions from this general rule ("sole sourcing") are allowed under specific conditions, the most important of which relate to the size of the contract and the uniqueness of the expertise of the institution. A large number of contracts with partner institutions have been concluded using this procedure. 33. As in other World Bank work, Task Managers use a variety of strategies to identify partner institutions that are suitable for the TF activities they manage. The proposals submitted for TFESSD funding indicate that some have made firm choices of such institutions at the time of proposal writing while others are less advanced in the process of identifying partners. 34. While the information provided by TMs does not clarify detailed selection procedures for individual partnership, some broad observations are possible. Specifically, the starting point is the TM's knowledge of institutions, qualified in the relevant area, based on his/her own experience as specialists in the field, and the broader such knowledge that exists in the wider Bank community of specialists (including other TMs) as well as outside the Bank, including using internet based sources of information. Also, when there is an extensive capacity building element to the work, the TM will try to scope the availability and capacity of potential local institutional partners to undertake the required work, or as appropriate for twinning with international institutions to ensure knowledge transfer. In such efforts, they rely on colleagues within the WB office and in-country networks which they may have built directly or indirectly. 1.7 New Project Proposals 35. Two Calls for Proposals were held in March 2004: one for the joint Environment, Poverty, and Social Development windows, as in 2003, and one for the newly opened Social Protection window. 36. As agreed during the December 2003 Semi-Annual Consultation meeting, the thematic priorities for this year's joint ENV-SOC-POV Call for Proposals were governance and accountability, empowerment, conflict, and vulnerability, especially the inter-linkages between these focus areas. The thematic priorities for the Social Protection call were Children and Youth and Disability. The texts of the two Calls for Proposals were discussed within the Bank, including with the Sector Boards involved, and agreed with the donors. 37. In response to the joint ENV-SOC-POV Call for Proposals 120 proposals were received. The review process involved several steps (see section 5). After several rounds of discussions, agreement was reached to put forward 46 proposals, with a projected spending of about $6.3 million for FY05 funding. This list, with copies of all the proposals, was forwarded to the donors on May 24, 2004. 38. In response to the SP Call for Proposals, 21 proposals were received. They were also reviewed by several reviewers as well as the SP Sector Board head, and discussed with the Social Protection Board. 14 39. The scope of proposals received this year was quite broad, with more proposals on social dimensions of sustainable development than on environmental and poverty dimensions -- though with a good number of proposals integrating two of these dimensions The three Sector Board heads emphasized the need to tighten the priority areas for future Calls for Proposals. 40. A more detailed report on the review and selection process, including a list of the proposals endorsed by the three Sector Boards, is presented in Part 5 of this report. 15 PART 2 ­ ENVIRONMENT WINDOW REPORT 2.1 Overall Progress 1. This report covers progress of activities funded under the Environment Window during the period of November 2003 to March 2004. 2. The TFESSD Environment Window has funded 74 projects since its inception, of which 50 are still active and disbursing, and 24 completed (see Figure 2.1). The active projects distribution by year of approval is as follows: 1 from FY001; 11 from FY01; 2 from FY02; 21 from FY03; and 15 from FY04 (see Figure 2.2). Figure 2.1 - TFESSD Environment Figure 2.2 - Distribution of Approval Year for Window Distribution of Active and Active Portfolio Closed Projects 25 21 20 15 Completed 15 11 projects (24) 32% 10 5 1 2 Active 0 projects (50) FY00 FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 68% Number of Activities 3. Of the 50 active projects, 28 are managed by the six operating regions of the Bank. The Africa region manages 10 of these projects. Other global/central units manage the rest of the active projects: 10 by the Environment Department; 4 in DEC; 2 by the Agricultural and Rural Development Anchor, 3 by the World Bank Institute; and 1 each by the Social Development Department, the Infrastructure Department, and the Legal Department. Of the regionally managed projects, about ninety percent are handled by ESSD units, with the rest shared between Poverty, Urban Infrastructure, and Legal units. 4. Closed Activities. Since the end of the last reporting period (October 31, 2003), nine projects closed, namely: · TF023501 ­ CAS and Environment Indicators · TF023562 ­ Africa Water Resources Management Initiative (AWRMI) · TF024945 ­ Managing the Environment Locally in SSA (MELISSA) · TF051309 ­ Environment in PRSPs · TF051350 ­ Poverty, Health, & Environment Maps, LAC · TF051457 ­ Capacity Building by Indigenous Forest Communities · TF051608 ­ Environmental Quality and Vulnerable Populations in Shanghai · TF051770 ­ Environmental Income and the Poor 1World Bank fiscal years go from July 1 to June 30. FY00 goes from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001. 16 · TF051929 ­ Indonesia: TA for the PROPER Program Completion reports have been received for all except for one of these projects and are included in Annex 2 (progress reports). 5. These completed activities represent a diverse group that have resulted in positive and tangible impacts. The completed activities range from broad support programs like the Africa Water Resources Management Initiative, which supported the Nile Basin Initiative Strategic Action Program, the preparation of strategic briefing materials for NEPAD, and overall raised the political profile of the importance of water management and development in Africa. The initiative continues beyond the closing of the TFESSD activity in that various African governments have embarked upon, and some have completed, reform programs in intersectoral water resources management policy and legislation. On the other side of the spectrum of completed activities, a variety of focused research upstream analyses were supported, ranging from the integration of environment into the World Bank's Country Assistance Strategies (CAS) and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs), including successful CAS-environment case studies, evaluations of the degree of environmental mainstreaming and good practices in PRSPs and Box 2.1 - Poverty-Environment in the CASs, to the development of good practice in World Bank Environment Strategy environmental indicators. These indicators are not The World Bank Environment Strategy ­ only being used in the flagship publication ­ the Making Sustainable Commitments ­ calls for Little Green Data Book, but are being increasingly a focus on three broad areas where used in CASs.

Three of the activities closed this period water, and forests; strengthening or reform contributed in substantial but different ways to the incentive systems than influence how resources are used; and building the analytical understanding and capacity building of analytical base and institutional capacity to poverty-environment linkages. The activity improve natural resource management. The "Environmental Income and the Poor" supported the TFESSD Environment Window has been of finalization of a solid synthesis of more than 50 great relevance for the implementation of studies on environmental income for the poor.

Finally, the "Poverty-Health-Environment Maps" activity supported the preparation--and through them the 17 strengthening--of National Statistical Offices in Bolivia and Ecuador. The immediate objective was to mainstream environment into the country's Poverty Assessment, which does not traditionally look at poverty-environment linkages. The ultimate objective of the activity was to influence the targeting of social expenditures and to enhance policy simulations for improved decision making. The methodology and approach is now being used by ten African countries. 7. One completed activity faced difficulties during implementation. For example, the MELISSA activity was expected to support the development of local urban environmental plans, but progress was slow for a variety of reasons and the current outlook for follow-up activities is limited. 8. Ten additional activities are scheduled to close by June 30, 2004, the end of the World Bank's fiscal year. The next interim report will summarize the outcomes and achievements of these activities. 9. Portfolio. The Environment Window's portfolio of ongoing projects is characterized, for the purposes of portfolio monitoring and reporting, in four categories of activities directly linked to the Environment Strategy: (a) strengthening of Analytical and Advisory Activities (AAA); (b) addressing environmental priorities in program and project design; (c) building country capacity for good environmental management; and (d) other (for those activities that do not fit in any of the previous categories). Box 2.2 - The Environment Strategy Implementation Toolkit The World Bank Environment Strategy emphasizes the importance of continuing our efforts to work with clients to integrate, or mainstream, environment into investments, programs, sector strategies, and policy dialogue mindful of the institutional requirements and capacity constraints. The Environment Strategy stresses improvements in three key areas: ü Strengthening analytical and advisory activities ­ the foundation for defining strategic environmental priorities and informing policy dialogue and decisions on projects and programs. This is a pillar of support of the TFESSD Environment Window ü Addressing environmental priorities through project and program design. Addressing environmental priorities that affect the long-term sustainability of development requires a proactive approach. Depending on client demand and country circumstances, the Strategy calls for improving the design and performance of environmental projects and components; coordinating investments and policy reforms; enhancing the environmental outcome of adjustment lending; and supporting capacity development. The second and third pillar of support by the TFESSD Environment Window portfolio are focused on this group of actions. ü Improving the Environmental Safeguards System. 10. The majority (75%) of the Environment Window activities fall under category (a), the Strengthening of Analytical and Advisory Activities. For purposes of portfolio monitoring and analysis, this AAA category is further divided into five subject areas: · Environmental Governance (20%); · Poverty-Environment Linkages (23%); 18 · Methodology and Tool Development (16%); · Environment in Sectoral Planning (36%); and · Environment in PRSPs and CASs (5%). Figures 2.3 and 2.4 present the Environment Window's portfolio distribution by category and AAA subject area. 11. The Environmental Governance category includes activities that support the country's analysis of the role of institutions and overall governance structures in natural resource management, scaling up of grassroots environmental projects, and mainstreaming environment at the national level. Projects supporting Poverty-Environment Linkages focus on analyzing how the poor are affected by environmental problems. These include studies on the impacts on poverty of soil degradation, climate change, HIV/AIDS, and land use. Methodology and Tool Development; Environment in Sectoral Planning; and Environment in PRSPs and CASs include activities that aim to incorporate environment into client government programs through a variety of activities ranging from the development of practical methodologies and tools to support the process of formulating PRSPs and CAS. Projects range from mainstreaming targets on forest protection into African country assistance programs to preparing a toolkit for Country Environmental Analysis to disseminating environmental reviews of interim and full PRSPs.

The progress and completion reports of individual activities present a summary of the progress towards achievement of the activity objectives and outcomes. Section 2.5 presents a summary of a recent analysis of the World Bank's overall AAA program and its linkages to the TFESSD-supported activities. Box 2.3 illustrates progress of one of the largest activities currently supported by the Environment Window. Box 2.4 illustrates the impacts of one of the activities under implementation. 20 Box 2.3 ­ Implementation Progress of the South Asia Strategic Program Supported by TFESSD Activity TF024692 Support under the TFEESD has played an essential, catalytic role in fostering progress with implementing the South Asia regional environmental strategy, including mainstreaming environmental objectives in key adjustment and investment operations, expanding Bank support to environmental policy and institutional reforms (governance agenda) and bringing greater focus to environmental health outcomes (vulnerability agenda). Initially, the Trust Fund enabled the regional environmental unit (SASES) to demonstrate to the clients and country teams the importance of environmental issues for the development and poverty reduction agenda and to increase client demand for Bank engagement in these issues. Subsequently, it has leveraged the development of a strong program of environmental activities, which are both consistent with Bank corporate priorities and mandate and demanded by our clients, across all countries in the region and at the regional level , with substantial contribution from Bank budget resources. It also leveraged contribution from other trust funds (ESMAP, DFID) to support these strategic priorities. Among the key highlights/achievements are: ü Raisingawarenessofandattentiontoenvironmentalhealth,particularlythrough the pioneering cross-sectoral work on indoor air pollution in India, which has firmly placed this major, earlier neglected environmental risk on the development agenda. It has led to the inclusion in the India lending program of an innovative Clean Household and Rural Energy operation as well as making a catalytic impact at the regional and global scale, influencing similar activities in Bangladesh, Guatemala and, recently, Sub-Saharan Africa. ü IntegrationofenvironmentalmanagementissuesintothePRSP anddevelopment planning processes across the region, culminating in the inclusion of an environment component in the first regional PRSC in Sri Lanka. ü Strengthening the process of environmental monitoring and reporting in India, including extensive support to developing the first Country Environmental Analyses in UP and Karnataka, both of which have been prepared in consultation with all major stakeholders and will be published shortly. ü Engaging in substantial dialogue on and analytical/advisory support to environmental management reforms in Bangladesh and Pakistan. ü Supporting a pilot on vehicular emission control, linked to the Mumbai urban transport project, which has facilitated reforms of the vehicular inspection regime now undertaken by the central transport ministry with expected significant measurable impact on urban air quality across India. 21 Box 2.4 ­ Implementation Progress of the Middle East and North Africa Energy- Environment Activities Supported by TF024922 The Energy Environment Reviews (EER) conducted in Egypt and Iran with the support of the TFESSD are part of the Middle East and North Africa (MNA) regional environmental strategy which calls for mainstreaming environment into the energy sector and for demonstrating the economic importance of the clean environment through the development of a new methodology of cost benefit analysis. The results of these studies will be included in the draft Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) for Iran (under preparation) and in the CAS of Egypt which will be prepared next fiscal year. In Egypt the EER recommendations will be part of the Country Environment Analysis, and in Iran the recommendations will be part of a policy note already approved by the Government. The project has already had an impact in Iran. An Energy Environment Review office was established in the Department of the Environment. The office is chaired by a Senior Advisor to the Vice President of Iran. The Government has included pricing policy instruments to promote energy-environment reforms in its 4th year Economic and Social Development Plan. 22 2.2 Disbursements and Commitments 13. The Environment Window has disbursed and committed about $4.0 million since October 30, 2003, representing an increase of 25% relative to cumulative disbursements at the end of the preceding reporting period. By the end of April 30, 2004, the Environment Window had an unspent balance of $1.74 million, which will be committed to meet part of the projected demand for disbursements and commitments for ongoing projects during the remainder of the FY04 period and to help start up new projects for FY05. A detailed review by the Environment Sector Board was completed to determine effective progress with implementation, particularly in terms of disbursements and commitments. Figure 2.5 shows the amount of commitments and disbursements in the Environment Window since the TF's inception. Figure 2.5 Disbursements Environment Window 6 5 4 Million 3 US$ 2 1 0 FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 Year 2.3 Implementation Update and Portfolio Review 14. As noted above, in an effort to ensure that TFESSD funds are utilized strategically, the Environment Sector Board conducted a detailed review of the active Environment Window portfolio. A Task Force with regional managers was set up to conduct a portfolio review of the Environment Window. The task Force was asked to review all activities facing various difficulties in implementation and determine an action plan to resolve them. The Task Force reviewed every project with outstanding commitments for more than one year, low disbursements for the last year, and those requesting extensions. In total, the Task Force carefully reviewed 21 projects and put forward an action plan to the Sector Board for approval. As a result, four projects will close at the end of June, 2004; two have received instructions for restructuring; and ten will be monitored very closely over the next six months to ensure effective implementation. The review based on the supplementary reports by the activity managers showed substantial progress on the larger programs in South Asia and China.

As a result of the closing and restructuring of activities, approximately $584,000 will become available for potential reallocation. In addition to the review of ongoing activities, a clean-up of all closed accounts with remaining balances was conducted. This has returned $183,000 to the Environment Parent window. In the last meeting of the Environment Sector 24 Board, it was agreed to continue the review process on the strategic allocation of available funds to activities that are progressing well and require additional funds to enhance objectives or that fall under the strategic regional plans for environmental mainstreaming and AAA strengthening. The Sector Board and the portfolio review Task Force discussed three portfolio implementation issues that will need attention over the next reporting period: · The implementation of some of the activities is affected by lack of timely availability of funds in the overall Trust Fund. This prevents the allocation and transfer of funds when task managers need them to finalize contracts and launch partnerships. Increased reliability of transfer of funds to the Trust Fund account from the donors would enhance the pace and effectiveness of activity implementation. · There is a need for improved guidelines and quality enhancement measures for preparation of future activity reporting (such as prior review of progress and completion reports by managers). The Sector Board will review these options in advance of the next reporting period. · With more activities being completed and others well advanced, there is a need for increased dissemination of products and lessons learned across regions. 2.4 Partnership Review 15. Overview. The progress reports of March 2004 Box 2.4 ­ Norwegian/Finnish Institutions required task managers to include information on the most commonly involved in TFESSD partnerships supported in TFESSD projects. While this Environment Window activities first collection of information provided useful data, the monitoring can further improve, which is likely to ü CICERO happen in the coming months as the task managers, ü NORAGRIC expecting to report on partnerships, track them more ü ITE ü SUM closely. In the 44 activities that reported information, ü NTNU(NorwegianUniversityofScience 168 partnerships were supported. Of these, 57% were and Technology) local, 11% were Norwegian or Finnish entities; 6% ü PRIO(InternationalPeaceResearch were UN organizations; and 26% involved Institute, Oslo) international organizations (Figure 2.6). The ü NorwegianInstituteforUrbanandRegional international partners include non-government Research (NIBR) ü ECONCenterforEconomicAnalysis organizations (e.g., World Wide Fund for Nature and ü NorplanA.S. Global Witness); bilateral development agencies (e.g., ü NorwegianAssociationofLocal GTZ and SIDA); other multilateral development banks Governments (e.g., Asian Development Bank and African ü NorwegianEnvironmentMinistry Development Bank); and international consultants and consulting companies. This distribution reflects the desire of the donors to support local capacity building and collaboration with UN agencies, as expressed in the calls for proposals. The process and guidelines by which Task Managers select partners is common across all windows and is discussed elsewhere in this report. In addition, please see Annex 2 for a list of the partners associated with each project. 16. The funding amount spent on each partner was determined by multiplying an activity's total grant amount by the percentage the TM indicated for each partner. The amount of money spent on a partner was then grouped by type of partner which indicated that local partners 25 received approximately 61% of the total activity funding that is spent on partnerships over the lifetime of the activity. Norwegian/Finnish institutions received 9% of the funding and UN partners received 1%. See Figure 2.7.

An essential and increasingly important part of the World Bank's contribution to development is the analytical and advisory work that is carried out to support our client countries. Analytical and advisory activities (AAA) provide a foundation for defining strategic priorities and informing policy dialogue and decisions on projects and programs. These AAA activities mainly include Economic and Sector Work (ESW) and non-lending Technical Assistance (TA). The former are formal and informal analytical reports on critical issues while the latter include capacity building or other technical assistance activities. 18. In 1999, a report titled Fixing ESW: Where are We? took stock of the Bank's country economic and sector work program--its history and trends, its management and effectiveness, and reform efforts to date. Findings from this report revealed environmental ESW to be one of the most outdated (only 25 percent of client countries having such a product five years old or less in FY95-99). These findings, combined with a recognition that analytical work plays an important role in influencing client countries' policies and programs, resulted in a renewed effort to strengthen our environmental AAA. 19. In the World Bank's Environment Strategy, endorsed in 2001, analytical work was emphasized as the foundation for defining strategic priorities and integrating environmental concerns into projects and programs. With this emphasis, the Environment Strategy calls for an adjustment in our work programs to foster new and improved environmental analytical work to 26 support the Bank's lending operations, and improve mainstreaming of environmental considerations within these operations. 20. The AAA activities supported by the Environment Window of the TFESSD have complemented the broader AAA portfolio of the Bank and serve on occasion as catalysts of innovation and leverage in the overall strategic dialogue between the World Bank and client countries (see Box 2.3). Figure 2.8 - Number of Formal Environment ESWs reports 21. Between fiscal 1999 and 2004, FY 99-04 there has been a sustained progressive 20 19 19 increase in the overall numbers of ESW 18 and TA products with primary and 16 15 secondary environmental and natural 14 12 resources management (ENRM) 10 10 10 objectives (see Figure 2.8). The 8 aggregate number of these products 6 5 more than tripled between fiscal 1999 4 2 and 2004. 0 FY 99 FY 00 FY 01 FY 02 FY 03 FY 04 22. The change in trend can be traced to the new Environment Strategy, which focused on strengthening environmental analytical and advisory activities as a key objective. An important attribute of the Strategy is its clearly defined objectives: (i) improving people's quality of life by focusing in areas where environment, quality of life and poverty reduction are strongly interlinked; (ii) improving the prospects for and the quality of growth by supporting policy, regulatory, and institutional frameworks for sustainable environmental management, and by mainstreaming environmental issues into productive sectors; and (iii) protecting the quality of the regional and global commons with an emphasis on the local aspects of global environmental challenges. The support of Trust Funds like the TFESSD Environment Window has played a significant role in this change in trend (see Box 2.5). Figure 2.9 - Trends in ENRM Content ($ and %) of the Bank's 23.

Looking at the general trends in the thematic coverage of the universe of environmental AAA products, Environmental Policies and Institutions comes out as the leading theme, accounting for 21 percent (fiscal 1999-2003) and 27 percent (fiscal 2004-2006), 27 respectively. It is followed by the Pollution Management, Water Resource Management, and Other ENRM themes, each accounting for approximately a fifth of the total products. 25. There has been substantial progress in mainstreaming environmental AAA activities. Only about 60 percent of the ESW and TA activities supported by the Bank with primary environment themes are overseen by the Environment Sector Board. Of the 40 percent not mapped to this sector board, three-quarters fall under the supervision of the Rural Development, Water Supply and Sanitation, and the Energy and Mining sector boards. 28 B. Box 2.5 - TFESSD AAA Work and its Relation to the Bank's Environment Strategy Objectives The portfolio of active projects supported by the TFESSD environment window doing AAA work is closely aligned with the objectives of the World Bank Environment Strategy, as illustrated by the following examples presented according to the Strategy's three main objectives. Please also refer to Box 2.3 for additional AAA work. Improving the quality of life by focusing on poverty-environment linkages. Several projects funded by the TFESSD address poverty-environment linkages. In Uganda, for example, the Poverty-NRM Links project studies the poverty impacts of soil degradation, focusing on household behavior, incentives and evidence for physical soil degradation. The Egypt: Poverty and Natural Resources project tries to determine the impact of environmental factors and the degradation of environmental resources, the lack of basic infrastructure, and poor behavior practices on farmers' income and people's health in rural Egypt. Another study on Poverty Impacts of Payments for Environmental Services will study the poverty dimensions of systems of payments for environmental services (PES), based on a series of case studies carried out in conjunction with on-going and planned Bank operations that use this approach. Results of the case studies will feed directly into these operations, and be used to produce guidelines on how to develop PES systems in ways that maximize positive impacts on poverty reduction. The China: Valuation of Environmental Health Risk & Poverty Environment Linkages project aims to support Village-based Integrated Poverty Alleviation plans in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. The Environmental Income and the Poor work, for example, synthesizes existing data on environmental income for poor people in order to (1) enhance the manner in which data on environmental income among the poor is gathered in poverty assessments; (2) enhance the manner in which natural resources interventions are targeted in order to contribute to the livelihoods of the very poorest; and (3) inform the policy debate on the role of environmental income as a safety net during periods of crisis, and as a contribution to long-term poverty reduction. Improving the quality of growth by integrating environment into sectors, policies and institutions. Several studies/ projects that aim at mainstreaming environmental considerations in key sectors such as agriculture, energy, and transportation, were also funded by the TFESSD. The objective of the Energy-Environment Review (EER) in Egypt and Iran was to assist the respective governments in better integrating environmental objectives with energy sector development and investments. In the transportation section, the Clean Air Initiative in Sub-Saharan African Cities (CAI-SSA) promotes the adoption of urban air management strategies based on the reduction of pollution from motorized transport as well as raising awareness about its dangers and preventative measures. Within the Program, the major effort of the CAI-SSA has been to eliminate lead from gasoline in Sub-Saharan African cities by end of 2005. The TFESSD has also funded activities that have supported environmental institutions. In the Strengthening the Environmental Initiative of NEPAD project, for example, the TF contributed to strengthening the capacity of the NEPAD Secretariat to develop and implement the NEPAD Environmental Action Plan, through support for (i) the development of environmental assessment guidelines for NEPAD, (ii) a workshop on climate change for NEPAD member states, and (iii) information, travel and logistical support. Funding for the Environment Watershed Externalities and the Role of Local Institutions project, on the other hand, will improve our collective understanding on the roles local institutions can play in internalizing natural resource externalities in the context of watersheds in India. Building on synergies between local and global benefits. Finally, the TFESSD also finances activities that address the local-global environmental linkages. In Tanzania, the Options for Alleviating Poverty through Sustainable Management of Marine and Coastal Areas project will (i) assess best practice and identify feasible options for improved governance of the coastal and marine resources in selected areas by developing long-term strategic plans; (ii) carry out economic valuation of coastal and marine resources in locally, nationally and globally significant "hot spots" along the Tanzanian coastline; (iii) assess socio-economic trends in coastal areas and poverty-environment linkages; and (iv) identify the elements to be incorporated within a long-term program for sound governance of marine and coastal areas. The first activity funded under the Mainstreaming WB/WWF Forest Alliance Targets in Africa Regional Country Programs co-financed an analytical piece and a case study tracing the dynamics and outcomes of Cameroon's forestry policy reforms from the mid-1990s to the present. 29 Part 3 ­ SOCIAL WINDOW REPORT 1. This progress report covers achievements of the TFESSD Social Window during the period November 2003 to March 2004. It is divided into three sections: Part I summarizes overall progress and implementation status of the window; Part II provides a strategic overview of the SD window, and Part III discusses the range of institutional partners in TFESSD funded activities of the Social Window as was agreed with the donors to highlight during this semi- annual report. Also as agreed, this report does not include summaries of each of the funded activities, however, as in previous years, detailed activity reports are being submitted separately. 2. The Social Window currently has a total of 44 ongoing activities (including two activities which closed on March 31, 2004, noted in paragraph 10 below). The ongoing activities consist of: (a) 4 activities originally funded in FY00-02; (b) 20 activities approved in FY03; (d) 20 activities approved and set up for FY04 (including two activities set up after donor approval earlier this year--the MNA SD Strategy and financial support for the Local Development Conference which will be held June 16-18, 2004 in Washington DC, as well as an activity "GLIA on HIV/AIDS and Refugees" which was approved earlier in FY04 but experienced delay in being set up due to a transition in the task team). 3.1 Overall Implementation Progress of the Social Window A. Progress towards agreed objectives 3. Activities funded under the Social Window have generally progressed well over the past six months. The window continues to expand both in scope and breadth of topics, and the activities are increasingly more strategic and better managed. The window began in FY01 with 12 mostly large activities (most of which have now closed). Activities in the current portfolio of 44 are on average smaller and more tightly focused than the original twelve, and better aligned with strategic and country priorities. This can generally be attributed to the joint calls, which are increasingly more competitive, and so require task teams to write high quality, realistic, and strategic proposals that reflect evolving TFESSD priorities. The major themes covered under the Social Window are: (a) Community-Driven Development; (b) Social Inclusion and Diversity in Decision-making; (c) Poverty, Social Impact, and Empowerment; (d) Innovations for Improved Governance and Social Accountability; and (e) Global and Regional Social Development Strategies and Initiatives. (See activity reports). This list of themes is likely to expand as a result of the recent FY05 call as it will introduce both new and related themes. 4. Some Impacts. While it is early to speak about broad impacts of most activities, many leading indicators suggest that Social Window activities have started to significantly influence ways of doing business in countries and at the Bank, and both at the macro and micro level. Some examples come from staff working in the Africa Region, who cite TFESSD as having enabled the launch of important work on CDD and social accountability, and the integration of these with other themes. TFESSD has funded important work on social accountability in the context of the Chad-Cameroon pipeline, which has helped to strengthen the accountability processes there. The region is using TFESSD resources to scale up work that integrates and links CDD and social accountability and integrates them into macro level policy. In Uganda and 30 Benin social accountability is being integrated into the PRSC. In Ethiopia, TFESSD-funded work on social accountability is supporting a comprehensive program of social accountability from the community to central government. This work has also helped to influence social accountability and governance in the Bank's work in Ghana. Similar experiences are emerging from ECA where TFESSD is funding several activities which are helping to strengthen the interface between communities and local governments--improve local governance--and is helping to strengthen the overall basis for decision making at the local level (e.g., Albania and Kyrgyz Republic). Bank-wide, the experience with social accountability funded by TFESSD helped to influence the WDR 2004 on "Making Services Work For the Poor," and is being reflected in the draft policy on development policy lending. 5. Community Driven Development (CDD) is an approach used in several types of Bank operations, where communities control their own development by taking key decisions on the delivery of services that directly affect their livelihoods. CDD is a means of empowerment that requires both strong political commitments from governments at all levels and good program design. This approach has emerged as an important way of doing business within the World Bank, and accounts for between $1.6 billion and $2 billion in new lending each year. Social Window activities within this cluster are: · Mainstreaming Support to Regional CDD Efforts in Africa (TF024909, $1.685 mil) · Scaling up CDD (TF051811, $100,00) · Producer Organizations and Poverty Reduction in Africa (TF024911, $210,00, recently closed) · CDD in Conflict Contexts (TF051772, $330,000) · Investing in Social Capital Through CDD (TF051253, $550,000) · Review of CDD Impacts in East Asia and Pacific Region (TF051845, $515,000) · EAP Sustainable Development Urban Fringe (TF052785, $730,000) · Conference on Local Development (TF053272, $100,000) About half of these activities are from among the original window activities or first call for proposals. Some such as Producer's Associations and Rural Poverty in Africa have recently closed or will close by June 30, 2004. Meanwhile, a few such as Investing in Social Capital through CDD continue to expand in response to burgeoning demand from regions. 6. Social Inclusion and Diversity in Decision-Making. This theme is linked to empowerment and participation. It is widely recognized that the most vulnerable groups of society--usually the poorest, women, and minorities--are often overlooked or deliberately by- passed when key decisions that affect them are made. This affects both the quality of decision- making and the sustainability of development initiatives. Exclusion can increase inequality by creating assets that disproportionately benefit the non-poor. Inclusiveness is therefore very important to the Bank's poverty reduction mission. The following 8 activities in this cluster aim at developing diversity and inclusiveness in decision-making processes, mainstreaming these approaches, or providing catalytic learning that can feed into operations and Bank strategies: · Gender and Conflict in Mindanao (TF051773, $497,600) · South Asia Local Level Organizations (TF024111, $630,000, recently closed) · Africa Local Level Institutions and Macro Impact (TF051948, $144,000) · Social Dimensions of Regional Differences in Tajikistan (TF052551, $160,700) · Indigenous People and Poverty in Latin America (TF052696, $160,000) 31 · Race and Social Inclusion in Population Information Gathering (TF052597, $305,000) · Intangible Benefits in Tanzania Social Action Fund (TF052781, $179,500) · Addressing Vulnerability and Exclusion Among Conflict Induced Displacement in the South Caucuses (TF052874, $220,000). So far, this is among the best performing clusters, both in terms of lessons and implementation progress. South Asia Local Level Organizations is now completed and the completion report is provided separately with the annex of activity self-supervision reports. 7. Poverty, Social Impact, and Empowerment is a cluster of activities that reflects the rapidly expanding business lines of SD and PREM. It includes a wide variety of activities ranging from social impacts in the transport sector, to work on youth empowerment, community empowerment networks, and PSIA in Cambodia. Much of this work is quite innovative, likely to lead to important new lessons from Bank operations and sector strategies, and is increasingly being embraced by country management units as strategic to their efforts to improve results on the ground. A total of 10 activities currently fall into this cluster: · Africa--Social and Poverty Impact of the Transport Sector (TF051178, $300,000) · Poverty, Social Capital, and Empowerment (TF024691, $700,000) · Capacity Building Network for Community Empowerment (TF051322, $420,000) · Youth Empowerment (TF051665, $147,000) · Poverty and Social Impact Analysis of Cambodia Social Sector (TF052138, $100,000) · Empowering China's Small Farm Households Through The Development of Farmers' Associations (TF052550, $315,000) · Benin: Strengthening Participatory Monitoring of PRSP Implementation (TF052671, $245,000) · Rwanda and Sudan: Enhancing Capacity Through Research and Action for Poverty Reduction Initiatives (TF052610) · The Impact of Increasing Socio-Economic Disparities on Conflict Potential in Central Asia (TF052598, $150,000) · Diagnostic Tools for Measuring Social Cohesion in Conflict Affected Communities in Sri Lanka (TF052870, $155,000). There are no significant implementation issues in this cluster, except for Africa Social and Poverty Impact of the Transport Sector that is cited in the strategic annual review as having some difficulties. Work is proceeding smoothly across this cluster. 8. Innovations for Improved Governance and Social Accountability. The 11 activities that fall into this theme are primarily concerned with development and testing of tools, instruments, and methodologies for improved governance and social accountability in the public sector. This is an important new area for the Social Development family, as it enters the governance arena. Innovations such as participatory budgeting, citizen report cards, and independent budget analysis are seen as important inputs into public expenditure management at all levels of society. Many of these tools are being applied in the context of the PRSP, but increasingly requests are coming from across different Bank units and country programs and sector units, eager for feedback mechanisms to assess impacts on the poor and vulnerable. The 11 activities are: · Promoting Social and Public Accountability in Africa (TF051835, $450,000) 32 · Enhancing Accountability of Institutions in LAC (TF051594, $159,800) · Participatory Monitoring and Social Accountability in Armenia (TF051836, $175,000) · Support for Social Accountability in the Gambia Poverty Reduction Strategy (TF051839, $210,000) · Improving the Environment for Civic Engagement in Albania and Honduras (TF051838, $172,000) · Chad PRSP in Rural Areas and Stakeholder Capacity Building (TF051861, $300,000) · Kenya: Systematizing Local Analysis and Evaluation of PRSP/PRSC Reforms (TF052051, $150,000) · Strengthening Local Governance and Accountability in ECA (TF052580, $410,000) · Chad: Development and Delivery of Accountability and Participation Training Modules (TF052539, $150,000) · Africa: Potential for Civil Society Engagement in LICUS Countries (TF052753, $155,600) · Local Governance and Empowerment in India (TF05915, $440,000) Substantial progress has been made in implementation of these activities. Two of them--Civic Engagement in Albania and Honduras, and Participatory Monitoring and Social Accountability in Armenia--were scaled back slightly as a result of the FY04 annual strategic review (see below). However, all others appear to be proceeding well. 9. Global and Regional Social Development Strategies and Initiatives cluster covers the range of activities being undertaken by the global SD family and regional SD teams to develop and disseminate global and regional social development strategies, as well as strengthen staffing and capacity. This work is critical to the definition of the strategic thrust of the social family-- themes and business processes--building on significant internal and external dialogue, and provides the roadmap for further integration of social development issues into Bank operations and corporate priorities. This work also aims to strengthen and mainstream social development in country and regional portfolios. Five of the current Social Window activities fall within this cluster: · Social Development Strategy (TF051589, $1mil) · Mainstreaming Social Development in the West Bank and Gaza (TF052023, $450,000) · Africa SD Strategic Analysis and Implementation of Policy Reforms (TF052655, $905,000) · Africa Coterminous Positions (TF052767, $558,000) · Supporting the Implementation of the MNA SD Strategy (TF053243, $370,000) Implementation of these activities is proceeding quite well. The one exception is Mainstreaming Social Development in West Bank and Gaza, which was scaled back as a result of this year's annual review (see section II for details). The Social Development Strategic Priorities Paper has been approved by senior Bank management and reviewed by the World Bank's Executive Directors, and is now in public consultations. The other strategies are in various stages of readiness or implementation, and there are no significant implementation bottlenecks. 10. Monitoring and Managing Implementation. In a few cases where there have been significant implementation or disbursement delays, the SD Board has looked at them during its annual strategic review, and has recommended dropping some projects, reducing grants amounts, 33 and/or reallocations of fund to other activities (see section II below). Most of the activities funded in FY04 are now under implementation; a few are doing preparatory work prior to formal implementation. 11. Two activities closed on March 31, 2004: Africa Producer Organizations and Poverty Reduction, and South Asia Local Level Organizations. Completion reports have been submitted for both activities and are part of the annex of reports. Both activities have resulted in valuable research that will be used within the Bank to influence new operations, especially in their respective regions. Two activities from original FY00-02 group of projects remain in the portfolio, and these will likely close on June 30, 2004 (Africa Regional CDD; and SDV Social Capital and Empowerment). B.

Social Window expenditures have been commendable to date. As of April 30, 2004, the Social Window has disbursed or committed $ 11.2 m (86%) of the total $ 13.1 m. received to date. Of this amount, $ 5.5 million (49 %) has gone towards activities in the Africa region. Activities approved prior to FY03 have disbursed or committed 95% of total receipts. For activities that began in FY03, 58% of total grant allocations have been either disbursed or committed to date. FY04 activities show 23% of total grant allocations either disbursed or committed to date. Africa disbursement/commitment percentages were comparable with the global averages in each case. 34 3.2 Implementations Issues and Action Taken or Recommended 13. Third Annual SD Board Strategic Review. In April 2004, the SD Board conducted its annual strategic review of the Social Window portfolio. This year's review covered 17 social window activities which were either set up in FY03, or due to close June 30, 2004 but were not subject to the FY03 annual strategic review. The FY04 review indicated that while most activities were progressing well, a handful were experiencing some implementation and disbursement bottlenecks. The SD Board agreed that 2 activities that had shown little or no progress would be dropped (Kenya ­ Evaluation of PRSP Reforms and the West Bank Gaza). However, after extensive discussions with the regional colleagues, it was agreed to significantly cut the latter activity but to reinstate it at a level of funding sufficient to honor all existing commitments. There were two reasons for this decision: (i) this activity is very strongly supported by the country management unit and is central to their work in West Bank and Gaza; (ii) the slow disbursement progress was explained in terms of lengthy process needed for recruiting local consultants, and special and very difficult working conditions which slowed disbursement while not affecting overall commitment and strategic fit these activities. 14. Criteria for the review are included in Attachment 1. The list of projects review and decisions taken by the SD Board are included in Table 2 (below).

The Board decided to reallocate funds to new and existing activities on the basis of need and current performance. Three activities that are being well implemented but needed additional funding to expand, deepen, or finish-up activities--CDD in Conflict Contexts, Capacity Building Network for Community Empowerment, and Investing in Social Capital Through CDD Projects--were allocated $50,000, $150,000, and $100,000 respectively. Other proposals, which the SD Board agreed to allocate funds to, were Morocco Country Social Analysis (previously submitted in FY05 call), which received $100,000, conditional on youth issues being one of the main areas of emphasis. AFR Social Development requested an opportunity to reprogram most of the funds cut from one of its activities (Local Level Institutions). The SD Board agreed, subject to a new proposal to be submitted for Board clearance. 16. The annual strategic review continues to be an important opportunity to review progress of activities, to identify any implementation bottlenecks, and to review and take corrective actions as appropriate. 3.3 Review of Partnering with Institutions in TFESSD Projects 17. Overview of Partnerships with Institutions. Most Social Window activities have needed to engage in partnerships with other institutions in order to achieve project objectives. The precise nature of these partnerships and institutional partners has depended on the type of activity and objectives. Since TFESSD places significance on transfer of skills and in-country capacity, and to a lesser extent on transfer of knowledge among UN agencies, collaborations needed to build in-country capacity around a specific theme have been cultivated under most Social Window projects. Partnerships with four types of institutions are discussed in this section: (i) Norwegian and Finnish; (ii) UN, (iii) Local; and, (iv) Other. Social Window activities have varied significantly in terms of the extent to which they have engaged in partnerships for knowledge transfer and implementation. In terms of percentage of grant amounts spent on partnerships (our main indicators), the numbers range from 0% to 100%, and the average was 23%. Please see Figures 3.1 and 3.2. Figure 3.1 Figure 3.2 Number of Partnerships by Type Funding of Partnerships by Type Social Window Social Window 8% 4% 4% 18% 1% 23% Norwegian/Finnish UN Local Other 69% 73% Number of partnerships = 191 Total $ amount = $3,304,000 37 18. Partnerships with Local Institutions. This has been by far the most active category of partnerships between within Social Window activities. Funds allocated to partnerships with local institutions accounts for about 69% of all partnerships expenditures among the 43 activities. Intuitively, this makes sense given TFESSD's emphasis on local capacity building and transfer of knowledge to local institutions. Social Window TTLs have therefore tended disproportionately to rely on local institutions compared to Finnish/Norwegian, UN, or Other institutions for in-country activities. In seeking out local partners, selection has predominantly been based on expertise and experience, and consistent with normal World Bank procurement procedures. Three projects stand out with over 80% share of funds spent on local institutional partnerships. These are Cambodia PSIA, Chad: Development and Delivery of Accountability and Participation Training Modules for CDD, and Diagnostic Tools for Measuring Social Cohesion in Conflict-Affected Communities in Sri Lanka, which spent 80%, 90% and 100% of funds respectively on partnerships with local institutions. 19. Partnerships with Norwegian and Finnish Institutions. To date, about 7% of funds spent on institutional partnerships in the Social Window have been spent on partnerships with Norwegian and Finnish institutions. This percentage is likely to increase over time. Currently, TTLs report difficulties identifying Norwegian and Finnish institutional partners that are internationally competitive in social development related themes. This is in large part due to knowledge gap on the part of TTLs who admit insufficient knowledge of Norwegian and Finnish institutions. However, in the context of TFESSD, excellent work of some Norwegian and Finnish institutions have come to light and these institutions are being engaged increasingly for commissioned work, or as implementation partners. More work will need to be done to connect other Norwegian and Finnish institutions to task teams implementing TFESSD activities. The strongest partnership in terms of percentage of expenditure seems to have been with Norwegian institutions in the context of the SD Strategy, where 18% of the funds were used in that partnership. Work on conflict is emerging as another area of partnership within the Social Window--CDD in Conflict Contexts, and Gender and Conflict in Mindanao (Philippines). Institutional partnerships are also planned on the governance theme, in at least one Social Window activity. 20. Partnerships with UN Agencies. Social Window task team leaders have spent virtually no funds on institutional partnerships with UN Agencies. However, they report extensive partnerships and collaboration with UN agencies (especially UNDP and UNHCR). These partnerships have ranged from programmatic coordination to joint implementation of activities, and are helping to support local institutions to implement various aspects of TFESSD activities. UNDP stands out as the most active UN agency partner, cited in about 8 cases, followed by UNHCR. 21. Other Partnerships. This category accounts for about 26% of all funds spent on institutional partnerships, according to reports from TTLs implementing Social Window activities. This is the second largest category of expenditure on partnerships. It covers expenditures on partnerships with institutions from other Nordic and developed countries, international and regional NGOs such as CARE (in Niger). Following World Bank procurement procedures, partnering institutions are usually selected on a competitive basis, taking into account experience and expertise. Bilateral agencies (e.g. DANIDA, GTZ, and CIDA), and Foundations (Soros) have also partnered with Social Window activities, but usually in terms of 38 programmatic coordination or joint implementation as with UN agencies, and TFESSD funds are not normally being expended on such partnerships. 22. Not all partnerships have required funding from the TFESSD-financed activity. An important point to note is that not all institutional partnerships involve transfer of resources from the TFESSD activity to the institutional partner. This is especially clear in the case of the extensive collaboration reported with various UN agencies, bilateral agencies, and international NGOs. Often, as in the case of the Africa Regional CDD Effort, most resources have been spent on capacity building through knowledge transfer, with extensive amounts of training undertaken within individual countries and regions, drawing on expertise which we often do not have at the local level. Yet, this has had a catalytic effect in terms of raising awareness of CDD approaches and transferring the required skills to policy makers and development practitioners across Sub- Saharan Africa. 23. TTLs should continue to have maximum flexibility in designing institutional partnerships, as they are best placed to evaluate the most effective mechanisms to transfer skills, mobilize local capacity, and maximize impact on the ground. The Social Window will continue to encourage this objective of local capacity building for innovation as a major goal, and try to provide as much information on options for partnerships with various institutions as is available. 39 ATTACHMENT 1 TFESSD SOCIAL WINDOW REVIEW OF PROGRESS OF FUNDED ACTIVITIES CRITERIA FOR FY04 EVALUATION Background. In the December 2002 semi-annual consultations of the TFESSD, the Bank agreed to conduct an annual strategic review of each of the windows, with a view to reallocation and scaling back funding as deemed appropriate. To date, the SD Board has conducted evaluations in FY02 and FY03. In FY04 the evaluation will be done for any activity set up in FY03 (including those that were set up through reallocations) and any activity closing in FY04 that has not been previously reviewed. We propose to use the same criteria that were used in FY03 for evaluating activity progress and deciding on allocations and reallocations, namely: 1. Implementation Progress 2. Disbursement Progress 3. Continued Operational Relevance 4. Spillover Effects 5. Sustainability of Interventions · 16 to 20 points: project proceeds as programmed. No actions taken. · 13 to 15 points: project scaled back; remaining allocation reduced by 50%. · 10 to 12 points: scale back total remaining grant amount by 70% , close activity at the end of this fiscal year and resources reallocated · 9 points or less: close activity by the end of the current fiscal year with no additional allocations and reallocate resources. Options for reallocation: · Within region, for activities which score between 13 and 15 · To common pool of resources for Bankwide proposals, for activities scoring 12 or below. 40 Evaluation Criteria 1. Implementation Progress in Relation to Proposal Objectives. (25%) 0 No movement or very slow movement 1 Slow; significantly behind schedule and will not be completed on time. 2 Moderate; somewhat/slightly behind schedule, and not likely to be completed on time. 3 On track; likely to be completed by on time. 4 Ahead of schedule; will be completed ahead of original schedule. 2. Disbursement Progress (25%) 0 Very slow; most funds not likely to be utilized by activity closing date. 1 Slow; substantial amount of the funds likely to be unspent by activity closing date. 2 Moderate; some funds likely to be unspent by activity closing date. 3 Good/on track; most of funds likely to be utilized by activity closing date. 4 Very Good; funds likely to be utilized by activity closing date. 3. Continued Operational Relevance (15%) Operational relevance will be judged on the following criteria: (i) links to formal ESW, (ii) links to CAS, (iii) country team endorsement, (iv) endorsed by regional management 0 No obvious operational links 1 Clearly fulfills at least one of the above operational relevance criteria 2 Clear fulfills at least two of the above operational relevance criteria 3 Clearly fulfills at least three of the above operational relevance criteria 4 Clearly fulfills at least four of the above operational relevance criteria 4. Spillover Effects: Influences or develops cutting edge tools or processes (macro or micro); resulting positive externalities (10%): 0 Not at all 1 Minimally 2 Somewhat 3 Moderately 4 Significantly 5. Sustainability of Interventions: Effectively builds local capacity in targeted countries on the specific theme; cost-sharing--BB or by client (25%): 0 No capacity building 1 Minimal capacity building 2 Moderate capacity building 3 Significant Capacity Building 4 Major Capacity Building 41 Part 4 ­ POVERTY WINDOW REPORT 1. This progress report covers achievements of the Poverty Window of the Trust Fund for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development during the period November 2003-April 2004. It is divided into three sections. Part I summarizes overall progress of activities under the window, financial management, and actions taken. Part II reviews progress by broad theme: capacity building for poverty analysis, monitoring, and evaluation; poverty and social impact analysis studies; developing and testing successful poverty alleviation programs; and empowerment. As noted in the last report, several of these themes, in particular capacity building for participatory poverty monitoring, poverty and social impact analysis, and empowerment are addressed by projects under both the social and poverty window -- a sign of growing cross-unit collaboration. As agreed, this report does not include summaries of each of the funded activities; however, as in previous years, detailed activity reports are being submitted separately. 2. The Poverty sub-window, which was launched in November 2001, has funded 42 activities so far, 10 of which are closed and 32 ongoing.2 Of these 42 activities, 20 were selected through a Call for Proposals held in Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 specifically for the poverty sub-window (five are still ongoing); ten activities were selected in FY03 through two calls for proposals joint with the social and environmental windows (eight still ongoing); and 12 through the FY04 Call for Proposals (all still ongoing) (see Table 1). Thirty-five activities are/were managed by regional staff and the rest by network/research staff. Thirteen activities are in the Africa region. Table 1: TFESSD Poverty Window activities as of April 30, 2004 Call/year Activities approved Activities ongoing Closed activities Activities in Africa FY02 (poverty) 20 12 8 1 FY03 (joint) 10 8 2 6 FY04 (joint) 12 12 0 6 Total 42 32 10 13 4.1 Overall Implementation Progress A. Progress toward agreed objectives 3. Most activities funded under the Poverty sub-window are progressing satisfactorily. As was the case at the time of the last report, activities are being undertaken and are feeding into the country dialogue and the development of Bank assistance. As the earlier activities (those launched in FY02) come to closure, we begin to see results, in terms not just of reports and studies being completed and disseminated but of capacity improvements and richer dialogue on the ground. 2 Of these 32 activities, seven are finished but the TFs were not yet closed as of April 30, 2004. 42 B. Financial management 4. Because of the different starting dates of activities in the portfolio, it makes sense to look at the use of funds by fiscal year of approval.3 As of April 30, 2004, FY02- approved activities that were still open had used 87 percent of the funds approved (up from 82 percent as of October 31, 2003); FY03-approved activities had used 60 percent of the funds approved (up from 51 percent six months ago); FY04 activities had used 41 percent of the funds approved (up from 11%). Overall, 62 percent of the funds approved under the Poverty window have been used.4 Of the total amount used so far, 64 percent has gone to activities in Africa (57 percent in October 2003). C. Actions Taken or Recommended 5. Delays continue to be present, here as in virtually every Bank activity. Any work that involves a significant amount of involvement of counterparts takes longer than planned, even though often the extra time is used to build stronger ownership. Extensions continue to be requested, and are granted wherever there is a good justification and work is progressing. We do not favor granting extensions beyond a year of the original closing date, but are implementing this "rule" flexibly to make sure that no opportunities are lost because of it, for example for final dissemination of results. Since the last report, extensions were requested by the Task Managers of three trust funds, and have been granted: (a) TF50436 East Timor: Enhancing the Poverty Impact of Public Spending (by two months, from Dec. 31, 2003 to Feb. 28, 2004, to allow final dissemination activities, particularly translation into the local language, which proved more complex than planned because the local language is not entirely a written language). (b) TF051976 Ethiopia: Empowering Civil Society (by seven months, from May 31, 2004 to December 31, 2004). (c) TF051799 Zambia Poverty and Social Impact Assessment (by three months, from March 31, 2004 to June 30, 2004). 6. Closures. Over this period, three TFs were formally closed, but most of the FY02-approved activities are finishing up, so activities were completed (and completion reports prepared) for seven more (even though the TFs have not yet been legally closed). In only one case (TF051928 on Jamaica) the TF closed before the original closing date, due to problems in the Bank-government dialogue that made it impossible to carry forward the planned work. Table 2: TFESSD Poverty Window Activities that closed over the reporting period 3 By "use" we mean commitments and disbursements. 4 Note that this does not mean that large unused balances are sitting in TF accounts. We do not make transfers unless there is a need. Available balances (undisbursed and uncommitted) in individual TFs amounted to 37 percent of transferred amounts, slightly higher than the 26 percent figure of October 2003. 43 Compl TF number Activity name Closing date Report?

As agreed at the June 2003 consultations in Oslo, savings from closed TFs were be reallocated within the Poverty window with the agreement of the Poverty Reduction Board.5 Following PRB approval on Feb. 5, 2004, $302,000 from closed TFs were reallocated to ongoing activities. See Table 3 and Annex 1 for details.

As in the last reporting cycle, Poverty Window Task Managers were asked to add information on activities over the last six months to forms containing the same information for the previous two reporting periods. This facilitates both reporting by task managers and review by the window manager and others, as it is easier to check progress against plans when all the information is in one place. The detailed reports prepared by the Task Managers are being provided separately, as an Annex to the main report. 4.2 Detailed Progress Report of Activities Capacity Building for Poverty Analysis, Monitoring, and Evaluation 9. A number of activities under the Poverty window aim to strengthen in-country capacity for poverty analysis, monitoring, and evaluation. This is generally done in the context of the preparation and implementation of poverty reduction strategies, and sometimes in the context of projects. An important feature of this work, as well as the work on Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA), which is summarized separately but is germane in terms of objectives and methodologies, is that in most cases the first step requires generating and assembling the data needed for the analysis -- fiscal data, data on services provided, and data on the use and impact of these services on households. In many cases, the TFESSD has funded the collection of some new household data through both household surveys and participatory mechanisms. The importance of this work cannot be underestimated: informed policymaking is possible only where solid information is available. TFESSD support ensures that the needed data gathering work is done even when countries are unwilling to fund it and -- through the strong involvement of local partners -- that the data are used. (a) In several countries, analytical work on the nature, causes, and distribution of poverty has been/is undertaken by local consultants and/or country counterparts, sometimes with the help of international consultants, and informs the development of PRSPs. (b) In Nigeria and Ethiopia, analytical work has focused on the contribution of public expenditures and public services to poverty reduction. (c) In other cases, participatory and quantitative mechanisms to monitoring implementation of the poverty reduction strategy (or of projects) and results achieved are set up or strengthened. (d) Finally, in one case an ex-post evaluation of the poverty impact of a project has been conducted. Poverty and Social Impact Analysis Studies 10. The studies funded by the TFESSD look at reforms in five sectors: fiscal policy; agriculture and rural development; provision of education and health services; utility reform; and industrial public enterprise restructuring. Work on reforms in these sectors is summarized briefly below. 45 (a) Fiscal policy reforms: · A study on six West African countries is assessing the impact of reforming indirect taxes. The first set of papers on the tax PSIAs should be ready by June 2004. (TF051946 PSIA in Central and West Africa) (b) Agricultural sector reforms (pricing and protection, marketing, processing): · The implementation of the Madagascar PSIA was satisfactory and activities were completed as agreed when the proposal was revised in March 2003. The activities have achieved: (i) wide dissemination and publication of study results; (ii) core analytical input, including poverty benchmarks, for the Bank's new CAS (October 2003) and its results framework; and (iii) implementation support of Bank's CAS, particularly the preparation of the joint Bank-Government PER and PRSC. (TF050502 PSIA Madagascar, completed) · In Chad, the study looked at the potential impact of various ways of reforming and privatizing the cotton processing sector. The baseline survey is now complete, with data cleaned and preliminary tables generated. The first part of the qualitative analysis for the PSIA identified key groups and factors to critical to the reforms. The second part consisted in a further analysis of the risks and opportunities associated to the reform program, to further deepen understanding of the dynamics among these groups, and to inform the design and sequencing of the reforms. (TF050438 PSIA Chad, completed) · Work has been completed on Benin's agriculture (cotton) PSIA (TF051946 PSIA in Central and West Africa) · In Guyana, a full report analyzing the impact of the reform in the bauxite sector was completed and submitted to the government in February 2004. Two more reports on the baseline quantitative survey of households dependent on the sugar industry and the impact of the reform in the sugar sector based on qualitative methods are expected to be available in the following months. A six-month extension has been requested and seems justified. (TF050439 PSIA Guyana) · In Mongolia, the impact of reforms in the cashmere sector was studied. Policy dialogue with key stakeholders was enhanced by carrying out substantive analysis of the poverty and social impact of structural reforms in the trade and energy sectors in Mongolia. The Government's understanding of the challenges faced in the energy sector have been recognized and the government has set up a working group to work actively on the pricing issues. The debate on the need to adjust energy prices is increasingly public. On the cashmere sector, the government agreed to reconsider its tax policies and its effort to re-institute the export ban has been abandoned. (TF050611 Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA): Mongolia, completed) 46 · In Zambia, where rural development policies are central to poverty reduction given that the majority of the poor live in rural areas, three actions were selected for PSIA: land reform/ titling; removal/ reduction of fertilizer subsidy; and delivery of rural infrastructure. The TF funds analysis, dissemination of findings, and in-country capacity building for PSIA. A rural household model was developed, discussed, and extended as needed. The study has provided input to the Zambia Country Economic Memorandum (CEM), which in turn informs the Country Assistance Strategy. (TF051799 PSIA of Rural Reforms in Zambia) · A study in Tanzania looks at the intended and unintended consequences of reforms in the functioning of the cotton and coffee boards. The findings will inform upcoming PRSCs supported by the Bank. The institutional mapping of cotton and coffee crop boards has been completed and the draft is being shared with different stakeholders. The team is also going to analyze the tea and cashew sectors. (The scope of the work was shifted from taxation to agricultural reforms PSIA) (TF051977 Social and Poverty Impact Analysis of Agricultural Taxation) · In Rwanda, a study will look at the impact of privatization of tea factories. (TF052699 Poverty and Social Impact Analysis of Tea Reforms in Rwanda) (c) Public service delivery in education and health and other sectors is a key area where reforms have not benefited the poor in the past. Ongoing work aims to ensure that spending cuts do not cut services to the poor and that spending increases are targeted to those services that benefit the poor most. · A study on six West African countries is assessing who benefits from public services in the areas of education, health, and basic infrastructure, given what services are today and in the case of small changes, based on household survey data. (TF051946 PSIA in Central and West Africa) (d) Reforms in the provision of utilities to address huge losses and transfers of public money are needed in many countries, but it is important to design these reforms so as to make sure that the poor are not forced to forego services because of higher tariffs, and that access and quality improvements reach them also. Many of these studies have informed the design of Bank structural adjustment-type operations, which hopefully will result in better outcomes for the poor than in the past. · Energy issues are being looked at in Mongolia, where a special module on energy use has been developed and introduced in the Living Standards Survey recently fielded. (TF050611 PSIA Mongolia, completed) · In Georgia, a study has looked at the joint impact of tariff increases for gas and electricity. The report stimulated the discussion of energy related issues and has been consulted for the preparation of energy sector lending activities in Georgia. (TF051313 Social Dimensions of Multiple Rate Increases in Georgia, completed) 47 · In the ECA region, a six-country study has looked comprehensively at the fiscal, social, environmental, and productivity outcomes of electricity reforms. The final report has been finalized and is being disseminated. It is awaiting final comments from peer reviewers. (TF051314 Social Dimensions of Energy Utility Privatization in Eastern Europe and Central Asia) (e) Industrial public enterprise restructuring: · In Guyana, a full report analyzing the impact of the reform in the bauxite sector was completed and submitted to the government in February 2004. (TF050439 PSIA Guyana) Developing and Testing Successful Poverty Alleviation Programs 11. In a couple of cases, the TF is financing innovative work to pilot new approaches to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. · In Africa, a study is looking at the possibility of extending the successful approach adopted to fight riverblindness, the Community-Directed Treatment (Com-DT) approach, to other diseases, namely lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), schistosomiasis, and vitamin A deficiency. Pilot projects are being held in nine countries. The Uganda study has been completed, written up, and published in Tropical Medicine and International Health. The results are very significant as they confirm that integrated community distribution of multiple drugs is not only highly effective but also better accepted at the community level than alternative means. Work in the remaining studies is progressing on schedule (a meeting of all teams was held in early March to share experiences and adjust methodologies) and a final report will be available later this year. (TF050440 Empowerment and Poverty Alleviation in Africa through Disease Control) · In India, another study is looking at pilot approaches to improve environmental management (drainage, waste management and water management) to better control malaria and gastro-intestinal diseases. The project is being conducted in partnership with the Institute for Social and Economic Change in Bangalore, India. The series of studies are being finalized and will be disseminated in a workshop in May 2004, although preliminary findings in these studies have already fed into the preparation of a new health sector loan to Karnataka state. (TF051323 Poverty and Environmental Management in India) Empowerment 12. Four TFs focus on empowerment: two on upstream action research activities to define and measure empowerment and two on downstream training and capacity building activities. 48 · The work on defining and measuring empowerment in Nepal takes place in the context of a rural water supply project. An analytical framework has been developed as well as indicators to be used to measure the project's contribution to empowerment, especially of women. Both qualitative and quantitative teams completed a six-week field research and data gathering assignments. Analysis by main investigators is already in process as all quantitative data is available and the data cleaning process is almost complete. Further support from the TFESSD will be sought to carry out fieldwork after project activities are finished. (TF050543 Measuring and Learning about Empowerment and Social Inclusion as Key Social Development Outcomes in Bank-assisted CDD projects in Nepal) · The Nepal work is part of a larger multi-country study that involves teams in Peru, Indonesia, Ethiopia and Honduras (the latter replaced Bolivia because of social and political instability) and aims to develop a consistent framework to measure empowerment and assess its contribution to development outcomes. As a result of the fact that the study team agreed that a uniform set of indicators and instruments could not be fully applied in all five countries, an analytic framework has been established and country teams have used it to design their country- specific methodologies. Testing of these country-specific methodologies and data collection is underway in all five countries. (TF051784 Measuring Empowerment) · In the LAC region, a training program for civil society actors in Bolivia, Honduras, and Nicaragua trained trainers, who in turn trained country stakeholders (including peasants, indigenous people, and neighborhood associations) on how to monitor public expenditures and the implementation of policies, in the context of the national PRSPs. The planned workshops have taken place and new skills and existing capacities have been enhanced. A number of activities including a third regional workshop, South-South exchanges and a series of videoconferences are now under implementation as a six-month extension has been granted and additional resources provided. (TF50435 Empowerment of Civil Society for Monitoring and Evaluation PRSP in LAC) · In Ethiopia, work is ongoing to support the development of a Bank project to build the capacity of civil society actors to monitor the poverty reduction strategy through stocktaking and learning activities. Two major studies on citizen's empowerment and associational life are in the final stages of field work. Consensus and learning has been achieved on how to empower citizen's institutions/organizations through Government/Non Government/Donor Stakeholder consultations on civil society capacity building/empowerment program and four consultations have taken place involving all the regions and two cities. Further support from the TFESSD will be sought to pilot a new comprehensive ARVIN analytical tool (TF051976 Empowering Civil Society in Ethiopia). 49 4.3 Institutional Partnerships 13. Overview. As agreed with the donors in December 2003, we asked Task Managers to provide information on the institutional partnerships entered into as part of the TFESSD-funded activities with four types of institutions: (i) Norwegian and Finnish, (ii) UN, (iii) Local, and (iv) Other. Almost all activities involve partnerships, but their nature, extent, and objectives vary considerably. Please see Figures 4.1 and 4.2. Also, not all partnerships require funding from the TFESSD; in many cases, partners join in the activities but provide their own funding. Figure 4.2 Figure 4.1 Funding of Partnerships by Type Number of Partnerships by Type Poverty Window Poverty Window 2% 4% 2% 14% 30% 34% Norwegian/Finnish UN Local Other 66% 48% Number of partnerships = 46 Total $ amount = $1,827,000 14. Partnerships with Local Institutions. Task Managers work with partners to foster the objective of building local capacity and ensure that knowledge is transferred, but also to take advantage of extensive local expertise, contacts with networks of researchers and practitioners, and ability to influence policymakers. Involvement of key local institutions is also important to ensure "ownership" of results. Since many activities involve poverty monitoring through surveys and analysis of survey data, statistical institutes are frequent partners, as they are often institutionally mandated to carry out survey work, are uniquely qualified, and need to "own" the results. Other frequent partners are key local research institutes (for example the Thailand Development Research Institute, the Institute for Social and Economic Change in Bangalore, the Institute for Strategic Studies and Prognoses in Montenegro), that are well respected and can influence the policy debate. Other examples of partners involved with the objectives of building institutional capacity and "owning" the results are agricultural research institutes involved in PSIA of agricultural reforms; PRSP managing units in activities focused on PRSP monitoring. 15. Partnerships with Norwegian and Finnish Institutions. Only one such instance was reported, with NIBR Norway for work in Malawi. 50 16. Partnerships with UN Agencies. Only one example was reported -- a partnership with TRD to implement a pilot study on providing combined health treatments in Africa - - but this reflects the fact that UN agencies provide their own funding, so TMs did not cite them. Partnerships with the European Union and the Asian Development Bank also contribute to donor coordination and cross-agency knowledge sharing. 17. Other Partnerships. Other partnerships generally involve the regional development banks, leading international research institutions and universities involved in poverty work, and international NGOs. Examples of research institutes and universities involved are the Institute for Development Studies in Sussex, Cornell University, Brookings Institution. In some cases, these partners had access to or prior experience with data sets relevant to the analysis at hand. 18. Selection methods. While abiding by WB procurement guidelines, which apply to the TFESSD, in most cases TMs selected partners on the basis of prior knowledge and experience, prior involvement in the same country or type of work, and/or a unique ability to carry out the task. In some cases, competitive bidding was conducted and TMs laid out the selection criteria. 51 PART 5 ­ NEW PROPOSALS FOR FY05-06 5.1 The Joint ENV-SOC-POV Windows 1. As agreed between the donors and the Bank, the priority areas for new proposals for FY05 funding under the Environment, Social Development, and Poverty windows were: governance and accountability, empowerment, conflict, and vulnerability, and especially the inter-linkages between these focus areas. Proposals covering the following activities were be considered for funding: (i) Upstream activities that integrate one or more of the focus areas into macro- level policy making--for example, analysis of policy choices, development of strategies, and design of policies and programs. (ii) Downstream activities which monitor, analyze, and/or evaluate the impact of policies in the focus areas. (iii) Capacity building, learning, information-sharing and dissemination related to the areas of focus, with/to national level partners and institutions in developing countries; and, in the case of information sharing and dissemination, also including the broader community of development agencies (e.g. in the World Bank's regions, in Norway, Finland, the UN-agencies and the regional banks) 2. The ENV-SOC-POV Call for Proposals was sent out on March 2, 2003 to the Environment, Social Development, and Poverty sector families in the Bank. It was also posted on the Bank's internal website as well as on the TFESSD external website.6 The deadline of submission was set on March 31, 2004. Despite the short turnaround time, this year's Call for Proposals generated 120 proposals. 3. Four reviewers, one each from the Environment, Social, and Poverty families and one from the Africa Region reviewed all 120 proposals. The criteria used for this year's review were similar to those used in previous rounds, with a slight change in their relative weights. The "Realism, doability, and evidence of BB" criterion was given a slightly higher weight (from 15% to 25%) to respond to a strong suggestion made by the Poverty Reduction Board during the Governance Review that technical merit be given more weight and the weight for the "Strategic fit" criterion was reduced from 40% to 30% (see table of criteria and weights below). 6 See www.worldbank.org/tfessd under Calls for Proposals, FY05 ENV-SOC-POV Call for Proposals. 52 Criterion Weight Strategic fit 30% Fit with Bank-wide and Regional strategies 20% Realism, doability, and evidence of Bank Budget (includes consideration 25% of technical merit) Promoting cross-family & cross-network collaboration in the Bank 5% Promoting collaboration with UN & Norwegian & Finnish partners 5% Contributing to capacity building in client countries 15% 4. As in previous years, each proposal was given a rating between"0" and "3" corresponding to the range between "no fit" and "very good." The reviewers' scoresheets were tallied and each proposal was given a weighted average, which allowed proposals to be ranked. A variance analysis was also done to look at the degree of dissent among the reviewers' scores. 5. The Environment and Social Development Sector Board heads together with the Poverty, Environment, and Social Window Managers reviewed all the proposals. The Sector Board heads and Window Managers met and discussed the list of proposals ranked according to the reviewers' ratings and came up with a preliminary prioritized list, which was sent to the three Sector Boards for discussion, first separately and then in a joint meeting. The list was divided into four categories, namely: · List A: Proposals recommended for approval; · List B: Proposals recommended for conditional approval; · List C: Proposals recommended for funding should additional funds become available; and · List D: Proposals recommended for rejection. 6. The proposed grant amount for the Approved and Conditionally Approved projects was, in general, cut by about 10-15 percent to correct for a tendency to inflate budgets and to accommodate more projects in the Africa region, thereby increasing Africa's share. Expensive study tours, international consultant fees and travel costs were cut wherever they appeared too high, to reflect the donors' preference for local consultants and in-country activities. 7. On May 3, 2004, the Environment, Social, and Poverty Boards met jointly to discuss the prioritized list. The AFR region and the ENV Sector Board presented a list of proposals that were not included in the prioritized list but were of strategic importance; several other suggestions were made. After careful review by the three Sector Boards and the SB heads/Window Managers, and the submission of revised proposals, a final list was agreed. 8. As a result, 46 new proposals were endorsed for funding, divided into two lists. List A, Proposals Recommended for Approval, includes 36 proposals with a projected FY05 spending of $5.0 million; List B, Proposals Recommended for Conditional 53 Approval, includes 10 proposals with a projected FY05 spending of $1.3 million. The projected total funds required in FY05 for the 46 new proposals is about $6.3 million, of which approximately $3.1 million (50%) would be for Africa. This amount is above our target envelope of $5.5 million for new projects in FY05, but we consider this a reasonable level of over-programming, given our previous experience that not all activities will get started and/or spend as planned. List C, Proposals in Reserve, includes one proposal that was deemed worthwhile but could not fit within the envelope. List D, Rejected Proposals, includes proposals that did not meet the criteria and/or had other sources of funding, and are therefore not recommended for funding at this time. Attached is the list of the new proposals grouped into Lists A, B, C and D. 5.2 The Social Protection Window 9. The call for proposals for the SP window was announced on March 5 to the four boards involved in the TFESSD and subsequently to the Health and Education sector boards as well as HD Network Members. It was also posted on the TFESSD website on March 5, 2004. The deadline for submission was originally March 31, 2004, but later extended to April 2, 2004. 10. As agreed with the other sector boards and donors, the priority areas for the call were activities that: · increase the understanding and knowledge of the extent and impact of the vulnerabilities of children, youth, and disabled persons on human development, poverty reduction and social inclusion; · improve the understanding and knowledge of effective public action on how to redress these vulnerabilities: what policies and services are effective, how they are best organized, and how much they cost; and to integrate issues related to the target groups into macro level, multi-sectoral, and sectoral policy making; · build stakeholder capacity for macro-level, multi-sectoral, and sectoral analytical work and for micro-level impact analysis related to children, youth, and disabled persons. 11. Twenty five proposals totaling $3.4 million were received. Four reviewers were selected in consultation to the sector board. In the choice of reviewers a balance was sought in the topic areas they were knowledgeable on (disability, OVC, youth) as well as regional familiarity. The review process was similar to that used in the other windows: Step 1. Each proposal was rated 0 to 3 (from no fit to very good) on each of five dimensions. Each reviewer's scores were normalized and then the sum tallied to form a composite score. All projects were ranked according to that score. 54 Criterion Weight Fit with TF objectives 20 Fit w/ Bank and regional strategies 20 Quality, realism, doablity and evidence of BB 35 Promotes cross-family and cross-network collaboration in the Bank 5 Promotes collaboration with UN, Norwegian and Finnish partners 5 Contributing to capacity building in client countries 15 Step 2: The panelists met and discussed each project one by one exchanging views on strengths and weaknesses. This helped to harmonize standards and criteria used and sometimes resulted in the sharing of additional information. In some cases this changed perceptions of projects, but we did not return and formally re-rate them. Step 3: The panelists applied judgment to the ranked list. The listed recommended for funding is largely starting from the top and moving down the list, but there are a few exceptions to that ordering. There are more cases in which only partial funding was approved, in order to focus on donor priorities, on the best elements of proposals, and to enable funding to go to more proposals. Step 4: On May 6, the SP sector met to discuss the suggested list. The Social Development Board was represented at the meeting, while representatives of the Poverty and Environment were invited but could not attend. Among the points made at the meeting: · The funding available was small relative to expectations and the pool or applications. · It would be useful for at least the Africa region to review and prioritize regional submissions. · The review criteria could be modified next year. For example, the inherent quality of the proposal was not weighted as heavily as would make reviewers and the sector board comfortable. There was no guidance as to whether proposals with a "public goods" element should receive extra points. The criterion for quality, realism, doablity and evidence of BB can be contradictory as very high quality proposals can have little bank budget. The criterion about fit with Bank and regional strategies was ambiguous as it did not delineate which of several possible strategies it might give priority to or what to do when these might be in conflict. 12. In Annex 3 is a list of the new proposals which was presented to the SP Sector Board on May 6, 2004 and which is submitted to the donors for approval. Proposals have been grouped into Lists A, B and C. List A includes proposals that are approved in whole or part by the sector board and put forward for final approval by the donors, with the total approved amount indicated and any pertinent comments about partial approval made in the comments column. List B includes proposals for which funding is reserved 55 but re-formulation of the proposal sought. List C includes proposals not suggested for final approval. 13. If all proposals in lists A and B were approved, the breakdown of approved amounts by topic would be approximately 60% for disability, 25% for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, 10% for youth; 5% for general work. The Africa region would receive 55% of funds. 56 Part 6 ­ ANNEXES Annex 1: Overall Portfolio Table (US$000) Contributions Received (US$) FY Date 3,083,295.71 00 Dec. 99 2,419,512.00 01 Jul. 00 4,493,711.00 01 Dec. 00 5,663,970.24 02 Sept. 01 292,015.00 02 Feb. 02 4,762,174.43 02 Mar. 02 210,493.40 02 Mar. 02 2,647,889.10 03 Dec.17 Finland 1,321,538.72 03 Jan.7 8,830,085.99 03 Feb.12 5,705,238.80 04 Nov.19 Finland 1,615,787.73 04 Dec. 31 5,762,443.20 04 Apr. 29 Total 46,808,155.32 Program Coordination AsofApril30,2004 Projections Total Original Current Cumulativ Disburse Funds Managing Original Current Indicative Indicative eDisb.up + Received FY04 TrustFund Unit/Nameof TaskTeam Closing Closing Funding Funding to&incl.
