Allocated to Grants¹: $8.8 million Unallocated balance: $0.7 million ¹ Including administrative costs 1 2 Map of South-South Facility Knowledge Exchanges The South-South Facility is on the rise: A sharp increase in the number of grants approved in 2011 illustrates the South-South Facility‟s strong performance in calendar year 2011. Approximately 60% of the grants that have been approved in the South-South Facility were approved in 2011 (see Figure 1). This was due in part to the approvals of larger proposals ($50k- $150k) being done in batches following strict criteria and service standards, and a reduction in administrative turn-around time. Figure 1 Implementation Progress Twenty-one grants were successfully completed in 2011. The average grant amount for completed projects is $84k a marked decrease from the average in September 2010 ($90k). The average grant cycle for the completed grants also dropped from 12 months in 2010 to 10 months in 2011. This signifies an increase in the efficiency of the implementation of grants, which is further testament to the adherence of the South-South Facility initiative to respond to just-in-time requests for exchanges with fewer resources. Early results are visible. In a recently completed exchange, senior officials from Vietnam visited Colombia, Brazil, China and Indonesia to boost their understanding and operating knowledge of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems. The study tour influenced the participants‟ perception of the effectiveness and suitability of a BRT in Ho Chi Minh City and as a result the Vietnamese officials have begun to prepare their first BRT in Ho Chi Minh City with full support from central government agencies. Middle Income Countries are benefiting from the exchange: Countries in Africa have formed the majority of Figure 2 the requests for South-South Exchanges; however, other regions that have a larger Percentage of Approved Grants number of Middle Income Countries have taken advantage of the new “Middle Income by Region Country” window of the South-South Facility. East Asia, for example, has increased the SAR number of approved grants by over 50% since MNA 15% AFR April 2011. 5% 28% LCR The increase in the number of participating 19% countries is also on the rise. In April 2011, 51 ECA EAP 16% 17% countries had received knowledge from 64 countries. Currently, 69 countries have received knowledge from 76 countries (see Map of South-South Facility Knowledge Exchanges and Annex 3). Fragile and Conflict-affected countries are well represented in the South- South Facility: Twenty-two percent of the exchanges are in Fragile and Conflict-affected countries. Generally, these countries face particularly severe development challenges including weak institutional capacity, poor governance and political instability. The South-South Facility provides the opportunity for these countries to obtain just-in-time technical assistance from other countries. The South-South Facility‟s work in Fragile and Conflict-affected states yields strong results. For example, Guinea-Bissau used lessons from Cape Verde‟s experience and established a new Center for the Formalization of Enterprises one-stop shop. The shop combines all essential services to start a business and has successfully reduced the amount of time it takes for companies to initiate their business. Now, Guinea-Bissau is one of the 10 most improved economies in Africa (Doing Business Report (2012)). 3 The South-South Facility continues to support a wide distribution of Topics : Figure 3 The majority of the exchanges address the Public Sector and Governance (13%). This is closely followed by Agriculture and Rural Development. Figure 3 shows the distribution of approved grants in various sectors. Implementation Progress The South-South Facility links well with World Bank Activities: Figure 4 The South-South Facility continues to leverage the development impact of knowledge exchanges by supporting activities that are linked to larger programs and funding sources. At the end of 2011, 56% of the exchanges were directly linked to Analytical and Advisory Activities. These activities include Economic and Sector Work, Technical Assistance and External Training. Thirty six percent of South-South Facility exchanges are linked to ongoing Bank financed projects. The South-South Facility continues to be an important strategic instrument in the context of the South-South Knowledge Exchange work of the Bank, as well as its clients: Increasingly, teams within the World Bank are realizing that South-South knowledge exchanges provide an important supplement to traditional technical assistance due to the high relevance of Southern experiences made in peer countries. As noted by client countries and World Bank staff alike, the South-South Facility is an effective mechanism to allow just-in-time, demand-driven learning to achieve the development goals of the World Bank client countries. Financial Contributions and Allocations: Since the South-South Facility was launched in 2008, contributions have grown from $4.4m to $10.3m. To date, the World Bank has received $9.5m. At the end of 2011, $8.8m has been allocated for grants (including administrative costs). Of the $8.8m that has been allocated, $5.3m has been disbursed (see Figure 5). $2.5m was disbursed in calendar year 2011; a 47% increase from calendar year 2010. Given the sharp increase in disbursements and the reduction in implementation time, it is expected that the allocated balance of $3.3m will be disbursed in the near future. As of end December 2011, the grant had an unallocated balance of $0.7m. Figure 5 Looking ahead, the South-South Facility will receive $0.8m from Russia. Given the growing demand from both Middle-Income and Lower-Income Countries, new contributions are needed to continue financing future exchanges. Thus far, a number of existing partners have signaled they will contribute to the replenishment of the South-South Facility and new partners have expressed interest in joining the South-South Facility. 4 South-South Facility Grants in Action 5 The following Results Stories show how knowledge exchanges increase the capacity of government officials, policy-makers, technical staff, and NGOs and community leaders. Each example shows how the exchanges have inspired, built consensus, and/or increased know-how of approaches to achieve development outcomes. 6 Haiti Empowers Thinking Big aboutCommunities Local to Rebuild Social with Programs In Delhi from Lessons Territory Indonesia Demand Country: Haiti What Results Have Been Achieved? Supply Country: Indonesia The Haitian delegation drew several key lessons on post-disaster housing reconstruction from Indonesia‟s South-South Facility Funding: US$133,500 experience with community-driven development.

What Has Happened So Far? Upon their return home, the Haitians used these lessons to Following the earthquake that hit Haiti in January 2010, a amend housing policy, establish new ones to facilitate delegation of officials from Haiti‟s Ministry of Planning and reconstruction, and develop a blueprint for the first set of Ministry of Interior and nongovernmental representatives housing units. The Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) visited three provinces in Indonesia to see firsthand was molded after the BRR with an anti-corruption office completed and ongoing post-disaster reconstruction and third party monitoring system. Through this exchange, projects. During these site visits, Indonesian reconstruction the Haitians saw that not only could they build back the experts, government officials, and community members way things were, but just like the Indonesians, they could shared their expertise with the Haitian delegation and upgrade infrastructure and social services. As a result, the explained the concept of „svadaya gotong Haitians emphasized the anti-duplication of projects and royong‟ (community self-help) that has guided careful management of expenses. community-driven development in the country. After the exchange, Haitian and Indonesian policymakers prepared a report summarizing key lessons learned, held several meetings, and proposed a follow-up agenda. 7 Thinking Extreme Tackling Big Poverty about In Bolivia Social Programs In Delhi Territory Demand Country: Bolivia To ensure that knowledge from the exchange would not be lost with any changes in the administration, efforts were Supply Country: Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico made to broadly disseminate the lessons learned.
