93942 THE WORLD BANK GROUP & FOUNDATIONS STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP | 2014 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Message from Dr. Jim Yong Kim “ Work based on funding from foundations has defined my career. So I understand and appreciate the willingness of foundations to think outside the box; their readiness to take risks; and their ability to reach different audiences. I believe it’s critically important that the World Bank Group seeks to strengthen its relationship with foundations and other partners. ” Dr. Jim Yong Kim President, World Bank Group THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Introduction Today, the World Bank Group works with over 80 foundations around the world. This publication brings together examples of those partnerships. The report is not comprehensive, but an attempt to capture a sense of the breadth and extent of collaboration between the World Bank Group and the philanthropic sector. It tells the story of the power of partnerships and what can be achieved by working together. We are collaborating on development priorities ranging from job creation to citizen engagement and social accountability to health, education, financial inclusion to climate change and building resilient, inclusive cities for the 21st century. This publication makes clear how these projects are bringing real change to people’s lives and to our planet. In Sub- Saharan Africa, the MasterCard Foundation and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) are bringing low-cost financial services to an estimated 5.3 million people who don’t have a bank account; the Adolescent Girls’ Initiative, a partnership between the World Bank Group and the Nike Foundation, has trained 2,500 women in Liberia to support their transition to productive work, and helped raise employment by almost 50 percent; In India, Indonesia, and Tanzania, a project with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has led to more than 4 million people deciding to stop open defecation and begin using basic sanitation facilities; In the Philippines, the World Bank Group’s Global Partnership for Social Accountability and the Open Society Foundations are supporting an initiative called Checkmyschool to give students and parents a say in how their schools are run. To collect these stories from across the world, we relied on the knowledge and close collaboration of colleagues from across the entire World Bank Group. Without the resourcefulness of task team leaders and communications teams in digging up the information and color which bring these partnerships alive, this publication would not have been possible. An immense thank you also to the Foundations Team —Victoria Flamant, Irene Daskalakis, Saskia Marcela Stegeman, Prachita Karunakar Shetty and Chris Richards at IFC—as well as to writer Tracey Osborne Miller, copy editor Sandra Gain, and graphic designer Tomoko Hirata.

The Seafront Rehabilitation Project is an important springboard for the overall cultural and economic revitalization of the town’s unique fabric. Impact The project has strengthened the institutional capacity of the Zanzibar Municipal Council on Unguja Island and helped develop related infrastruc- ture, such as surface water drainage systems, solid waste collection and transportation, and streetlights. Investment of $2.4 million helped stimulate the local economy and create 200 jobs during the construction phase, which also spurred employment opportunities in the informal sector. 3 Investment of $2.4 million helped stimulate the local economy in Zanzibar, and create 200 jobs during the construction phase, which also spurred employment opportunities in the informal sector Partnership The partnership helped foster coordination in the design of a cultural heritage pro- gram jointly managed by the World Bank Group and UNESCO. The partnership also increased access to public spaces and infrastructure and improved economic opportu- nities, and is benefiting low-income households in dense, unplanned, and informally developed settlements with poor access to services. Europe and Central Asia Region Pamir Private Power Project. 2003–2010. The project was designed as a public-private partnership between the Government of Tajikistan, the World Bank Group, and the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) to improve the reliability and quality of the supply of electricity to the Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO) region of Tajikistan in a financially, environmentally, and socially sustainable way. A 25-year concession agreement with the Government of Tajikistan provided the basis for establishing the Pamir Energy Company, a joint stock company owned by AKFED (70 percent) and IFC (30 percent). The project supported the rehabilitation of hydropower infrastructure and transmission lines to increase electricity supply capacity. The affordability of electricity for the poor- est households was ensured by a lifeline subsidy scheme funded primarily by a grant from the Government of Switzerland. Impact Electrical supply in the GBAO has increased from three hours to 22–24 hours per day during the winter for over 70 percent of customers. An estimated 220,000 people, more than half of them women, have benefited from improved electricity services. There is now a surplus of energy supply in the region. The Pamir Energy Company exports the excess to nearby Afghan provinces, supplying electricity to more than 1,000 households as well as hospitals, schools, and businesses in Afghanistan. Collection rates for electrici- ty have also improved, from 40 percent in 2002 to around 100 percent in 2010. Partnership The public-private partnership was a successful outcome of the concerted actions and contributions of all partners. IFC partnered with AKFED to establish the Pamir Energy Company, while the World Bank Group and IFC’s joint involvement was important in mobilizing grant financing from the Swiss government. Social Cohesion through Community-Based Development in the Kyrgyz Republic. 2013–2016. This partnership between the World Bank Group and the Aga Khan Foundation aims to promote social cohesion through community-driven development, using pilot programs and a rigorous evidence-driven monitoring and evaluation framework. Funding is provided by a $2 million grant from the World Bank Group’s State and Peacebuilding Fund with co-financing from the Aga Khan Foundation USA. 4 AGA KHAN DEVELOPMENT NETWORK Impact Activities are directly benefiting local communities across Naryn and Osh provinces in the Kyrgyz Republic. These activities support village government efforts to involve civil society groups in local development strategies and in the selection, delivery, and fi- nancing of community infrastructure projects. Lessons learned from new participatory approaches will contribute to the design of future IDA and government communi- ty-based development initiatives in the country. Partnership The World Bank Group benefits from the extensive global operational and research re- sources of AKDN, which include foundations, universities, research institutes, and ongoing development programs, including the Mountain Societies Development Support Program in the Kyrgyz Republic. AKDN has benefited from the World Bank Group’s knowledge, resources, and global operational footprint in community-driven development. Tajikistan: Reducing Poverty in High Mountain Environments around Lake Sarez. 2003-2007. In 2000, AKDN partnered with the World Bank Group on a major disaster risk mitigation project in the flood-prone Lake Sarez region of Tajikistan. During project implementation, it became clear that additional poverty-reduction efforts were needed in the region. The Japan Social Development Fund—a joint effort of the World Bank and the Government of Japan—financed an add-on project, implemented by Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FOCUS), an AKDN affiliate, to promote village-level social and economic development for poor and vulnerable communities in the valleys of Bartang and Panj. South Asia Region Pakistan Community-Based Renewable Energy. 2008. This is an ongoing $6 million micro hydro project, funded under a carbon offset program to support renewable energy sources and reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide. It is one of the largest community micro hydro projects in South Asia. It includes the development of 90 micro and mini hydropower plants, with a combined electrical generation capacity of between five and 15 megawatts, in the remote Northern and Chitral areas of Pakistan. The Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP) is implementing the project in coordination with local community-based organizations. Impact To date, 38 micro and mini hydro operations have been completed. The mini and mi- cro hydro plants are providing 150,000 rural households that are not connected to the grid with access to electricity for domestic uses such as cooking, heating, and light- ing. The project also provides health benefits by displacing air pollution from diesel generators and reducing household energy costs thanks to lower use of kerosene, oil, batteries, and fossil fuels. 51 poor communities gained access to much needed, cheap, and clean electricity from small off-grid networks perched in the isolated mountains near the Afghan border. 5 AGA KHAN DEVELOPMENT NETWORK Photo: Nicolas Bertrand/World Bank Partnership The World Bank Group leveraged financing through the Carbon Facility, and AKRSP has brought experience at the community level. The hydroelectric plants are managed on a community basis, with support from the Aga Khan Rural Support Program, and include active community involvement during the identification, design, implementa- tion, and operational stages. The project also receives technical and financial support from various other organizations, including the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund. Walled City of Lahore Project. June 2006–2013. The World Bank Group, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), and GoPunjab col- laborated to develop a strategic plan for the urban regeneration of the Walled City of Lahore. The project included an inventory of historic buildings and a heritage trail, a prototype to showcase conservation of cultural assets and their use. The pilot show- cased methods and benefits of conservation of cultural assets. Impact The project leveraged AKDN’s local knowledge with the World Bank Group’s in- volvement in urban management. The cultural heritage initiative was instrumental in attracting the interest of AKTC as a development partner in 2008. 6 AGA KHAN DEVELOPMENT NETWORK Partnership The technical support from AKTC and later its subsidiary, the Aga Khan Cultural Services Program (AKCSP), led to an effective collaboration with GoPunjab. AKTC- AKCSP provided invaluable guidance and technical assistance on the detailed preparatory activities for the pilot project, as well as identification of potential demon- stration subprojects along the Shahi Guzargah.

Impact Thirty-seven social enterprises were selected (mostly nongovernmental orga- nizations and foundations) and will be provided with funding and ongoing technical support in proposal assessment and project selection as well as strategic guidance, mentoring, and training for the selected organizations. The project will help create about 200 jobs for young, Egyptian men and women living in rural areas. Partnership The Egypt DM is a collaborative effort supported by several partners and managed and coordinated by the World Bank Group. From the outset, civil society, private sector, and government leaders were engaged through a consultative process that led to an organic partnership with prominent local and international partners. The funders of the Egypt DM include the Government of Australia (AusAID), the Department for International Development of the United Kingdom, the International Labor Organization, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, the Sawiris Foundation for Social Development (see page 102), and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs through the IFC. In addition, more than 20 technical assistance partners are providing capacity-building support to the Egypt DM winners throughout the project’s one-year duration.

Impact In February 2012, the Government of Tanzania hosted the first national conference on ECD, bringing together the World Bank Group with 14 foun- dations, including the Bernard van Leer Foundation. A declaration was agreed upon committing the Government of Tanzania to pass a new policy for ECD, including budget line items across a range of ministries. The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation is supporting the World Bank Group’s work on ECD across Africa (as well as in some states in India). As part of this effort, World Bank Group offices in Tanzania and Uganda have submitted proposals for small grants to help mobilize resources for ECD. The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the ELMA Foundation, and the Bernard van Leer Foundation have developed a plan for testing social impact invest- ments beneficial to young children—an action that was spearheaded by the World Bank Group.  13 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Bertelsmann Foundation, Gütersloh, Germany Aart de Geus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer @BertelsmannFDN The Bertelsmann Foundation aims to Examples of Partnership identify social problems and challenges at an early stage and develop exemplary Annual Bertelsmann Foundation—Financial Times Conference. solutions to address them.

This annual conference brings together high-ranking international repre- sentatives of government, business, and labor, as well as thought leaders from the think tank and academic communities, to discuss global challeng- es. World Bank Group President Dr. Jim Yong Kim was the keynote speaker at the opening reception held at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. The theme of the 2014 conference was “A World out of Balance: A Surplus of Politics, a Deficit of Ideas.” Dr. Kim’s remarks focused on the need for growth to be inclusive and sustainable. German World Bank Forum. June 2013. This high-level event brings together a select group of leading personali- ties from politics, the private sector, academia, and civil society to discuss today’s most pressing development challenges. In 2013, the 11th German World Bank Forum focused on the role of leadership in business and politics in driving economic growth and development that preserves natural resourc- es, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and effectively includes the poor. Impact The event brought together around 100 international decision makers invited by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Bank Group, and the Bertelsmann Foundation, who jointly organized the conference in cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit’s (GIZ) Development Policy Forum. The leaders discussed what it takes to drive transformational change for inclusive and sustainable growth and development, the costs and risks leaders face in bringing about change, and the supporting role partnerships 100 and strategic instruments can play. international decision makers invited to identify the drivers of inclusive and sustainable growth 14 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, WA, USA Bill Gates, Co-Chair and Trustee Melinda Gates, Co-Chair and Trustee @gatesfoundation The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Examples of Partnership (Gates Foundation) works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives.

Agriculture Finance Support Facility (AgriFin). 2009 and ongoing. AgriFin aims to demonstrate that all levels of the agricultural chain—includ- ing smallholders—can be financed profitably by banks and other lending institutions. The project supports financial institutions in developing scal- able models of agriculture finance by co-financing targeted capacity-building projects and implementing a global knowledge and networking program. Impact With support from AgriFin, 11 financial institutions in 11 countries (eight in Africa, three in Asia) have invested in institutional capacity to expand their financing of agriculture in a sustainable way. For example, in Rwanda, the Banque Populaire du Rwanda has established a food and agriculture depart- ment with trained lending staff and developed credit and saving products tailored to the sector, rolling out mobile banking and ATM services across rural areas. Over the past three years, the bank has lent more than $18 mil- lion to the agriculture sector, benefiting at least 25,000 people, most of them smallholder farmers. More than 150,000 of the bank’s clients, half of them in rural areas, have access to mobile banking and ATM services. 15 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 More than 400 professionals have attended AgriFin’s training and development programs, 50 senior bankers have participated in two study tours, and 100 senior man- agers attended the first global conference held in 2012. A large network of agricultural finance professionals has been developed, encouraging peer-to-peer learning, with knowledge products such as monthly webinars, bi-annual study tours, monthly news- letters, and a growing library of resources. Partnership The World Bank Group and the Gates Foundation have increased their understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities in agriculture finance as compared with microfinance or rural finance. Agriculture Finance Support Facility (AgriFin) Cambodia. January 2013– September 2014. The AgriFin Steering Committee in 2010 approved a grant of $1.1 million to Amret microfinance institution, one of the leading multilateral financial institutions in Cambodia, to develop Amret’s capacity in agricultural lending and increase rural out- reach with adequate financial services, including deposits. AgriFin’s program has two main components: capacity-building projects and a knowl- edge and networks program. Projects financed under the first component support the replication and scaling-up of business models that profitably finance agriculture. The knowledge and networks program catalyzes and facilitates learning about profitable agriculture finance business models within a wide network of practitioners. Impact Early results include the establishment of the Agri-Credit Unit in Amret and the suc- cessful piloting of an agribusiness loan model in 14 branches across five provinces. Amret is preparing for a countrywide rollout. Partnership The partnership has demonstarted to Amret (and other local microfinance institutions in Cambodia) the significance of the market for small farmers and growth in the agri- culture sector. Commercializing Agricultural Systems Expanding knowledge Through this partnership, the Gates Foundation and the World Bank Group are ex- panding their knowledge around the applications and limits of agribusiness indicators, around the conditions as well as the conditions for successful agricultural development. Phase I: Agribusiness Indicators (ABI). October 2009–June 2013. needed for This pilot tested a set of indicators related to encouraging the emergence of a more successful commercially oriented agricultural sector (access to improved seeds, fertilizers, finance, and transport services). The indicators were tested across nine countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, agricultural Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia). The aim was to raise awareness and demonstrate the usefulness of agribusiness indicators as new matrices for judging the ability of the development whole agricultural sector to respond to changing needs and demands. Impact Data from the project have been used as inputs in four World Bank Group projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. The innovative business approach has stimulated discussions among donors about the need to improve and scale up agribusiness indicators. 16 BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION Phase II: Enabling the Business of Agriculture. November 2012–June 2016. This initiative is identifying, measuring, and monitoring policies and regulations that impact how markets function in the agricultural sector to allow policy makers to com- pare their agribusiness climate with other countries. So far, data have been collected and analyzed to build actionable indicators as a resource for policy makers and other stakeholders. Ultimately, the project aims to encourage changes that support inclusive participation in agricultural value chains and foster an environment conducive to local and regional business. Impact The project’s first-year pilot phase has been completed and data were collected in 10 countries on nine topic areas, building an important base for indicator develop- ment. The 10 countries represent a range of geographic regions in various stages of agricultural development: Ethiopia, Guatemala, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, the Philippines, Rwanda, Spain, Uganda, and Ukraine. An initial assessment of the pilot phase has been completed, which will be made available on the program’s website: eba.worldbank.org. Preparations are under way for data collection—in late 2014 and early 2015—in 40 countries. Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Established 1971. See page 45.

The program has facilitated the scale-up of agricultural investments. The Gates Foundation has provided additional funding for the program, and leadership to improve the program as a whole through a continuous process of learning-by-doing, monitoring, refining, and improving its design. Joint Scoping of the Dairy Sector in Six Indian States. March 2013–June 2013. Together, the Gates Foundation and the IFC conducted a joint scoping exercise to assess cattle productivity, food safety, and environmental footprint, including water and greenhouse gas emissions, to enhance understanding of the challenges facing the dairy sector and identify potential solutions. The study was disseminated in Orissa and Bihar through workshops with various stakeholders. Impact  The study will inform the design of programs to improve productivity in the dairy sec- tor in the poorest states of India, while also reducing the environmental footprint and improving the investment climate.  Partnership Results of the scoping exercise will inform the design of future programs in the dairy sector for the Gates Foundation and the IFC, and potentially open up opportunities for collaboration between the two organizations to implement dairy projects together in the future.  Livestock in Africa: Improving Data for Better Policies. 2009–2013. This program worked to strengthen livestock data collection systems in Africa, to provide better understanding of the use and function of livestock as an agricultural commodity and contributor to rural incomes. Impact The program supported pilot projects in Niger, Tanzania, and Uganda, and helped increase awareness of the importance of and gaps in the availability of livestock data. Better understanding of livestock holdings and their use is helping to facilitate the development of policies and interventions to support herders, pastoralists, and traders. Partnership The Gates Foundation is integrating this work into its broader research on data and policy and linking it with international dialogue and action on the Global Strategy for Enhancing Agriculture Statistics. Livestock Global Alliance: Connecting Knowledge and Operations. April 2012 and ongoing. The Livestock Global Alliance (LGA) works to increase understanding of the live- stock sector’s contribution to global health, food security, nutrition, rural livelihoods, poverty alleviation, and environmental protection, benefiting in particular poor rural communities and pastoralists. It serves as a think tank, rather than a standard-setting body. The Alliance’s founding partners are the African Union-Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Gates Foundation, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), the World Bank Group, and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). 19 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Impact LGA is at an early stage and is working to connect the various partnerships and programs to national policy and investment programs.

MANGOES COME TO MALAWI GAFSP and IFC each invested in Malawi Mangoes, the country’s first commercial fruit farming enterprise and fruit processing company. It will create more rural jobs and increase lucrative marketing opportunities for farmers. Financing will launch the expansion of Malawi Mangoes’ tropical fruit production and processing operations to demonstrate the viability of banana and mango commercial-scale production in Malawi. Photo credit: Malawi Mangoes Malawi Mangoes expects to support 6,000 small-scale mango farmers by 2018. The company has successfully grown new mango varieties in ultra-high-density orchards in Malawi and adopted water-efficient drip irrigation to cover more than 1,000 hectares of the company’s planting area. IFC and GAFSP’s investment helped mobilize additional funding from FMO, the Netherlands Development Finance Company, to support the plantation development of Malawi Mangoes. 21 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Financial Services for the Poor Airtel Uganda. 2014–2017. The Gates Foundation will support a Mobile Financial Services (MFS) program in Uganda over a period of three years as part of IFC’s Financial Inclusion Framework. The objective is to deliver technical support to Airtel, an Indian multinational telecommu- nications company, to grow MFS successfully in Uganda. This will include developing a cash-in/out network that penetrates rural regions of the country, increasing customer awareness and adoption, and achieving product enhancement and standardization. Impact The project is expected to result in an expansive rollout of liquid, high quality mobile money agents across Uganda, and the development of pro-poor digital financial prod- ucts that will allow users to rapidly integrate into the Airtel platform. Partnership This partnership strengthens Airtel’s reach and ability to provide solutions to rural regions. The Consultative Group to Assist the Poor’s (CGAP’s) Technology and Business Model Innovation Program. Since 2006. See page 45. CGAP is a multi-donor consortium that works to advance poor people’s access to finance. The Gates Foundation co-funds this program with CGAP, which works with a wide range of financial service providers, mobile network operators, and policy makers to identify technology-enabled business models that can deliver financial services to poor people at low cost and at scale. Impact CGAP has contributed to a greater understanding of how branchless banking can increase poor people’s access to a broad range of affordable financial services, particularly savings. The Financial Inclusion Support Initiative. Launched April 2013. This multi-donor partnership aims to help reach the goal of universal financial access. Goal The initiative’s focus is on country-led technical assistance programs, results-based innovation funding, and capacity building.

The overall objective of this project is to support the creation of a set of interoperable standards for a mobile financial scheme in Tanzania to increase the number of market access points to affordable mobile financial services. The Gates Foundation provides funding and is partnering with the Tanzania-based Financial Sector Deepening Trust. IFC is providing technical assistance and facilitating industry workshops. Impact Tanzania has a competitive and relatively balanced mobile financial services mar- ket structure compared with other regional markets, and could benefit greatly from interoperability to reduce costs and duplication of channels, enabling the provid- ers to serve more low-income customers. The first set of rules for interoperable person-to-person transfers was completed, signed, and adopted by two industry partic- ipants in September 2014, with a third joining this year, so people are now able to send money across networks on their mobile phones in Tanzania. Partnership This project is helping to create a commercial solution to MFS interoperability and pro- vide a secure platform that could contribute to a more efficient and inclusive financial system. For the industry, these rules could form the basis of a low-cost switching utili- ty that would enable providers to offer cheaper services to more people, while staying competitive on product, channel, and pricing. The Technical Assistance Program on Ensuring Financial Integrity and Promoting Financial Access. Launched 2013. This project was created to help client countries better understand their financial integrity risks. The program delivers technical assistance to financial regulators to help them create new regulatory frameworks and develop financial products such as bank accounts and new payment methods, including mobile money. Impact The program will initially focus on Africa and South Asia, with the goal of ensuring that financial sector regulation supports financial integrity (combating money launder- ing and other illicit flows) and financial inclusion. Partnership The Gates Foundation has committed almost $1.4 million toward these efforts. The World Bank Group brings deep experience and expertise to the area of financial integri- ty, particularly through its work on financial inclusion. 23 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 By the end of 2017, improve health outcomes among poor communities Mother receiving postnatal care in a maternity ward | Photo: Dominic Chavez/World Bank Global Health Program Africa Health Markets for Equity (AHME). 2012–2017.

November 2009–March 2014. The Gates Foundation funded a World Bank Group technical assistance program to support the Chinese government in researching the impact of rural information, com- households munications, and technology (ICT) investments in selected provinces of China, and identifying key drivers of demand for ICT services from the perspective of the rural population. The project aimed to (i) accelerate the development of relevant informa- surveyed, in tion on service delivery in rural areas; (ii) support an impact evaluation framework for ICT projects in China, to inform decision making on potential scaling-up of 238 innovative pilots and generate and share knowledge; and (iii) research existing and potential new models for providing public information access through local libraries and other institutions. villages Impact The team worked in three provinces: Guizhou, Jilin, and Shandong. to identify demand • The ICT Demand Survey. More than 3,000 households were surveyed in 238 villages. Only around a quarter of the villages surveyed had their own public facility for Internet access. for ICT services • The Library Landscape Survey. Staff in 3,000 village- and township-level libraries were interviewed. Over half of the villages had a library or reading room and almost a third were connected to the Internet, but only around 5 percent of villagers surveyed reported visiting a library in the previous year. • An impact evaluation study and analytical reports were produced, including a synthesis report, “Information and Communications in the Chinese Countryside: A Study of Three Provinces.” The main messages from the report acknowledge the significant progress in improving basic access to ICT infrastructure and emphasize the need for a stronger focus on demand-side interventions, user skills develop- ment and outreach, and institutional collaboration. Policy and Advocacy Partnership: Giving a BOOST to Expenditure Analysis and Transparency. 2012–2015. This initiative generates expenditure analysis for policy making and public dialogue to foster informed debate around public spending priorities and informed spending decisions at the country level. The BOOST databases generate customized analytical reports from item-level budget and expenditure data that are drawn directly from the government’s public expenditure accounts. Impact Projects have been launched in 50 countries, with BOOST databases completed in 36 countries (June 2014). The scale-up support from the Gates Foundation led to great- er visibility of the BOOST program, which was included in the IDA17 agreement on country deliverables. Partnership The BOOST activities leverage World Bank Group work in two areas—Public Expenditure Reviews (PERs) and Open Budget initiatives. PERs serve as the basis for World Bank Group dialogue with authorities on expenditure policy issues. BOOST supports the preparation of PERs by allowing country teams to generate customized analytical reports and thereby support policy considerations in client countries in a more efficient way. BOOST databases may be made publicly available on the World Bank Group’s Open Budget Portal, supporting efforts to increase civil society’s voice on budget matters and expenditure allocations across policy areas. 30 BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION BOOST Data Tool–Haiti. The World Bank Group is undertaking a Public Expenditure Review (PER) in Haiti to support the government’s efforts to reform public financial management. With BOOSTing funding from the Gates Foundation, the World Bank Group has been able to incorpo- rate BOOST activities, collecting and compiling detailed data on public expenditure in expenditure analysis a simple user-friendly format, to promote more in-depth analysis in the PER, develop analytical capacity in the country, and provide input to policy dialogue. and transparency in Impact Public expenditure and revenue data in Haiti have up to now been fragmented and difficult to collate. The BOOST database gives users access to data from multiple sourc- es in a standard format and through an easy-to-use platform and serves as a tool for 50 better analysis and monitoring of the budget. countries Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA).

The Gates Foundation was actively involved in consultations and the technical working group for developing GPSA. Open Aid Partnership. Launched November 2011. See page 92. Open Aid Partnership brings development partners together to enhance the openness and effectiveness of development assistance. Urban Poverty Cities Alliance. Since 2009. Cities Alliance is a global partnership to reduce urban poverty and promote the role of cities in sustainable development. The Alliance supports cities in providing effec- tive local government, an active citizenship, and an economy characterized by public and private investment. The Gates Foundation supports the Alliance’s Land, Services & Citizenship program, which is linked to current World Bank Group investments in Ghana, Uganda, and Vietnam, and with programs in Burkina Faso and Mozambique that are still under development. Impact One of the key features of the Cities Alliance country program is aligning urban devel- opment efforts at the national, city, and community levels. For example: • In Uganda, the program has expanded from five to 14 cities and a strong institu- tional management structure has been established at the national level. Municipal development forums have been launched in the original five cities and commu- nities are actively engaging with local government. Urban planning programs at Makerere University have been restructured, giving Uganda’s future urban plan- ners hands-on training in inclusive development. • In Vietnam, an Urban Forum is in the process of being developed and will be a useful platform for dialogue for all stakeholders. At the community level, guidelines have been completed to expand the Community Development Fund network—a network of cities engaged in community-led development activities— from 30 to 50 cities across Vietnam. 31 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Partnership The Gates Foundation’s grant is helping national and local governments respond to the challenges and opportunities associated with rapid urbanization. The Alliance is also providing opportunities for South-South learning: for example, the governments of Brazil and Italy are cooperating to reconstruct the successful slum upgrading experi- ence in Bahia, Brazil, in Maputo, Mozambique. Urbanization Knowledge Platform (UKP). Launched 2011. See page 116. The Gates Foundation is a member of the World Bank Group–supported UKP, which aims to put the world’s best knowledge and data into the hands of policy makers and practitioners, to harness urban growth for better development outcomes. Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Water and Sanitation Program (WSP). Launched 1978 and ongoing. The Gates Foundation has been a crucial partner of the World Bank Group’s Water and Sanitation Program, providing grant funding to develop and disseminate best practices in the water, sanitation, and hygiene sector. The partnership has allowed WSP to scale up its global operations in 23 countries in Africa, South Asia, East Asia, and Latin America, while helping the Gates Foundation broaden its outreach in this sector to these regions. Examples of these partnerships include: Promoting Hand-Washing Behavior Change. 2006–2013. With the Gates Foundation’s support, the World Bank Group tested innovative approaches to promoting good hand-washing practices on a mass scale to improve and protect the health of poor rural and urban families. Impact The project was implemented with several partners and in collaboration with More than national and local governments in Peru, Senegal, Tanzania, and Vietnam, target- 4 ing around 25 percent of the population in those countries. The program reached more than 66 million people (with a target audience that included women, mothers, caretakers, and children between the ages of five and nine). In Peru, the project was rolled out at the national level and implemented in approximately 800 randomly selected districts in 104 provinces. million people Partnership in 3 countries have Both partners gained new learning opportunities about what works to stimu- late improved hand-washing behavior on a large scale. For example, in Peru the government used the knowledge provided from the project to strengthen efforts to begun using basic promote hand-washing practice. As a result, five regional governments allocated funding to continue the promotion of hand-washing.

Since 2010. This program aims to support national and local government, as well as the do- mestic private sector, to catalyze greater access to and use of improved sanitation facilities, stop open defecation, and improve hygiene behavior. Impact The program has expanded from three to 13 countries in Africa, South Asia, and East Asia, and has supported governments by helping improve access to rural sanitation for approximately 19 million people. Partnership The Gates Foundation has been able to broaden its outreach in rural sanitation and develop new knowledge in the subsector. The partnership has helped the World Bank Group transition to a much broader scaling-up of its rural sanitation program at the global level. Selling Sanitation: A Market Development Project for Household Sanitation in Kenya. December 2012–December 2014. Selling Sanitation is an initiative designed to help millions of people across Africa access affordable household sanitation products and services. The market devel- opment approach, which aims to catalyze the consumer market for sanitation, is currently being piloted in Kenya, with planned expansion to other African coun- tries, including Tanzania and Uganda, where scoping is currently underway. Impact Two manufacturers have gone to market with a range of plastic latrine slabs designed to meet consumer preferences at a price point they can afford. In Phase Leveraging Two, the program will focus on launching a national consumer awareness cam- paign, supporting manufacturers with distribution and sales and expanding into foundations’ new regional markets as well as addressing financial constraints and bottlenecks for consumers and businesses. Market analysis undertaken by the project indi- cates that the potential market for the plastic latrine slabs over the next four years expertise and will be 2.2 million households (10 million people) in Kenya. their extensive Partnership This partnership has brought increased visibility and attention to the need to improve sanitation in East Africa, in large part due to the advocacy efforts of the networks Gates Foundation. The partnership enables IFC to leverage the Gates Foundation’s expertise in this area, as well as its extensive networks. Total Sanitation/Sanitation Marketing. 2006–2013. The goal of this project was to increase access to basic sanitation and improve the health of poor households in rural villages, small towns, and informal urban settlements. With the Gates Foundation’s support, the World Bank Group’s Water and Sanitation Program tested new approaches to generating sanitation demand at scale and increasing the market-based supply of sanitation products and services. The program also aims to develop the practical knowledge to deploy and sustain these approaches on a widespread basis. Impact The project was implemented in India, Indonesia, and Tanzania. More than four million people have undergone a radical shift in their behavior and stopped open defecation and begun to use basic sanitation facilities. This number is 75 percent above the expected project outcome. The tools and approaches developed through this program are now being used in other countries. 33 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Bloomberg Philanthropies, New York City, NY, USA Patricia E.

Cities are the Philanthropies focuses on five key areas global centers of communication, commerce, and culture. Yet cities account for creating lasting change: public health, for two-thirds of global energy consumption and estimates suggest that city residents are responsible for as much as 80 percent of the world’s green- environment, education, government house gas emissions. What our cities do individually and in unison can set innovation, and arts and culture. the agenda for a sustainable future. C40 is addressing climate change at the city level with the support of the World Bank Group, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the Clinton Foundation (through the Clinton Climate Initiative). A network of large and engaged cities from around the world, C40 is committed to implementing meaningful and sustainable climate-related actions locally that will help address climate change globally. Impact C40, the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, and the World Resources Institute have developed a common international standard for measuring city greenhouse gas emissions—the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for Community-level Emissions—with the support of the World Bank Group, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (HABITAT). Common international metrics for cities will help establish baselines and track progress against targets for climate change mitigation and adaptation in cities. Partnership Additional areas of collaboration are being developed, including city-level climate action plans, resilience and adaptation in cities, and climate finance for cities. The relationship with C40 also offers C40 cities a single entry point to access World Bank Group climate change–related capacity building and technical assistance programs. Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF). 2006 and ongoing. The Bloomberg Global Road Safety Program aims to improve road safety performance and knowledge transfer to 10 cities in low- and middle-in- come countries. Partners include Embarq, Global Road Safety Partnership, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, National Association of City Transportation Officials, Union North America, the World Bank Group’s Global Road Safety Facility, and the World Health Organization. The World Bank Group contributes by providing technical assistance and training for infrastructural safety management and capacity building for the program recipients. Impact The partnership has helped build local capacity to address road safety leg- islation, road infrastructural safety, training programs for enforcement, and city designs focused on pedestrians and cyclists. GRSF has been able to com- plete road safety inspection of more than 20,000 kilometers of national and state highways with potential to reduce traffic fatalities by over 50 percent. 34 GRSF has been able to complete road safety inspection of more Partnership The global partnership is unique and innovative in terms of leveraging government than 20,000 spending on proven road safety interventions as a result of initiatives undertaken through the grant fund. For example, in China, a nationally-owned and resourced institution on road safety survey and inspection (ChinaRAP) has been operationalized. Similarly, in India, the partnership has funded a survey of more than 10,000 kilome- ters; the survey results have led the government to redesign more than 30 percent of the network, taking into account enhanced safety considerations. kilometers of national and state highways globally, with potential to reduce traffic fatalities by over 50 percent Photo: Li Lou / World Bank Tobacco Taxation Policy Technical Assistance.

In development. The African Centers of Excellence (ACE) initiative is supporting key regional centers across Africa to improve the quality of tertiary education, with a focus on developing skills and providing opportunities for students and educators. The World Bank Group project selects the most proactive and innovative universities in Africa to support high- er levels of professional skill and applied research in priority areas, such as maternal and child health. The centers focus on science, engineering, and math; health; and agricultural sciences. The Carnegie Corporation has invested significantly in tertiary education in Africa, including in the governance and management of higher education. There are several examples of how the ACE project is leveraging this knowledge and experience, most recently through a partnership with the Council for Advancement of Higher Education, a Carnegie grantee, that is supporting capacity building for fundraising in African universities. Impact The quality of tertiary education in Africa has deteriorated because of limited financial resources and loss of institutional capacity. This initiative is helping develop a more skilled labor force, increase capacity in science, technology, and engineering; and ex- pand the research that Africa needs to keep pace with its development trajectory. Partnership The Carnegie Corporation brings long-term experience in supporting higher education in Africa, including through the Partnership for Higher Education in Africa, which was established in 2000.

This is equiva- lent to approximately 32 percent of all formal SMEs in these countries. A recent report assessing the credit gap for micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises, conducted by IFC and McKinsey & Company, showed that wom- en-owned businesses in the formal sector have approximately $260 billion to $320 billion in unmet financial needs, representing approximately 29 percent of the total SME credit gap. The Goldman Sachs Charitable Foundation provided a $32 million anchor investment to catalyze capital from commercial investors and bilateral donors. It also contributed to a fund for capacity-building support for banks and women borrowers.

ARPA aims to de- velop and implement a first-class monitoring and management system for conservation and sustainable use with solid financial security. The Moore Foundation supports ARPA through the World Wildlife Fund. ARPA is also supported by a grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and the World Bank Group acts as the implementing agency for the GEF grants. Impact With the contribution of ARPA, the protected area in the Amazon region has increased by 63 percent. The creation of 13 protected areas is associat- ed with the offset of emissions equivalent to 430 million tons of carbon by 2050. Assuming the value of $5/ton of carbon, these protected areas will account for $2.2 billion of emissions reductions by 2050 (about $54 million per year). Partnership The Moore Foundation has provided technical input for making structural improvements to ARPA and to negotiate funds. ARPA’s success has enabled the Moore Foundation to pursue new, high-risk approaches to reducing de- forestation and biodiversity loss on lands outside protected areas. Global Program on Fisheries (PROFISH) and Alliance for Responsible Fisheries (ALLFISH). PROFISH and ALLFISH are supported by the Moore Foundation as well as the World Bank Group’s Global Environment Fund program.

Partnership for Financial Inclusion. January 2012–June 2017. The Partnership for Financial Inclusion aims to increase access to low-cost financial services for an estimated 5.3 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa. The initiative pursues this goal through providing advisory services to microfinance institutions (existing IFC clients), banks, and mobile network operators, to support them in developing innovative new products and cost-effective delivery channels, and expanding coverage into hard-to-reach rural locations. Impact The goal is to reach an estimated 5.3 million people in Africa with accessible financial services by 2017. The initiative scales up microfinance across the continent, expanding into secondary cities and rural communities, to offer low cost and diverse products to clients. The partnership will also facilitate knowledge exchange on best practices. For example, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the two organizations are working with a local micro- finance institution, which is breaking new ground in the supply of formal financial services to the poor by employing an innovative agent banking business model and biometric technology, so that it can help people obtain a loan to start a small business.

The AGI is building the evidence base to determine what with larger organizations and agencies works to help young women enter productive employment. Its aim is to venture into the largely uncharted territory of piloting and rigorously testing to get girls’ issues on the international interventions to help young women succeed in the labor market. Pilots are agenda, as well as to mobilize resources underway or complete in seven countries: Afghanistan, Haiti, Jordan, Lao to support them. Nike Foundation focuses PDR, Liberia, Rwanda, and South Sudan. Collectively, the AGI is producing on adolescent girls’ health, economic new knowledge in two main areas: rigorous evidence on program impacts to empowerment, and education. guide policy decisions; and operational lessons and innovative strategies to improve project design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Impact Overall, the initiative targets some 17,000 adolescent girls and young women. • In Liberia, the Economic Empowerment of Adolescent Girls and Young Women project began in 2010 and has trained about 2,500 young women for either wage employment or self-employment plus life skills, with an emphasis on job placement and follow-up support. The evaluation of the project shows that employment rose by 47 percent while earnings increased by about $32 per month—an 80 percent increase. • In Nepal, the Adolescent Girls Employment Initiative (AGEI) began in 2010 and trained 4,410 young women. Livelihood trainings spanned 39 occupations across 44 districts of Nepal. Trainees also received life skills training and were assisted with job searches and placement or were otherwise supported to start their own businesses. Preliminary estimates of the one-year program impacts show positive and highly significant effects on employment outcomes for women. The treatment group experienced approximately a 16 percentage point increase in non-farm employment, for an overall gain in employment of 47 percent relative to the control group. Average monthly earnings increased by about 45 percent. The AGI is also providing evidence about what does not work in promoting employment among young women. For example, a pilot in Jordan tested the effect of employability skills training and vouchers among community college graduates. Results from the impact evaluation found that while the job vouch- er was active, female graduates with vouchers were 39 percent more likely to work than female graduates without vouchers. However, this effect was temporary and did not last beyond the expiry of the vouchers, although the training did boost self-confidence and mental well-being among the gradu- ates. Insights from the evaluation are being used to illuminate demand-side and regulatory constraints to the school-to-work transition of young people and to inform the Building Active Labor Market Policies (ALMP) program in Jordan. Partnership Nike’s expertise and creativity in social communications, design innovation, and consumer insights have been a critical asset. The Nike Foundation has also participated in and contributed to AGI events at the World Bank Group and in several countries. In Afghanistan and Haiti, Nike Foundation staff participated as team members at the project level, providing technical sup- port for the launch of the pilot. 88 NIKE FOUNDATION A young woman receives carpentry training in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. | Photo: World Bank Girl Hub/Girl Effect University: Investing in Adolescent Girls and Young Women.

Areas of programmatic focus Omidyar India Microfinance Credit Reporting Phases I and II. include consumer internet and mobile, 2009–2011 (Phase I), 2011–2014 (Phase II). entrepreneurship, financial inclusion, and government transparency. The goal of this project is to address overindebtedness and expand respon- sible access to finance for India’s poor and underserved. The initial project was designed to assess the viability of, and develop a roadmap for, inte- grating micro finance institutions (MFIs) with credit information bureaus and to build stakeholder awareness and support for integration. The project scope has broadened to expand the number of MFIs providing data to the credit bureaus and raise awareness of end borrowers. Omidyar Network has co-funded IFC’s Financial Infrastructure program to enable the integration of Indian MFIs with credit bureaus to achieve greater financial inclusion. Impact The project has led to the development of a common reporting format, a data extraction tool, and cooperation among stakeholders to broaden MFI coverage in credit bureaus. As a result, two credit bureaus are offering their services to the sector and most of the large MFIs have started reporting to the credit bureaus. Two credit bureaus have a combined database of more than 100 million micro-client records—the largest repository of such data in the world. By the end of Phase II, the project supported the receipt of 63 million incremental enquiries in microfinance credit bureaus, reaching out to nine million low-income clients. Partnership Frequent exchanges of information between the partners about the market have helped to improve the overall quality of the intervention. IFC helped influence the financial market further by collaborating with local spe- cialists to build the capacity of smaller MFIs to participate in the credit reporting system. 90 OMIDYAR NETWORK FUND The project Open Contracting Partnership (OCP).

Roma Education Fund (REF). Created in 2005. The Open Society Institute and the World Bank Group were co-founders of the Roma Education Fund, created in the framework of the Decade of Roma Inclusion. The program was created to close the education gap between Roma and non-Roma children by providing better access to quality education, promot- ing Roma inclusion in all aspects of the national education systems, and combating segregation of Roma children in education systems. REF operates in 16 countries, providing grants, university scholarships, and reimbursable grant programs (bridge financing to nongovernmental organizations and local governments accessing European Union structural funds for Roma education projects). Impact Between 2005 and 2013, REF granted funding for 366 projects supporting more than 7,000 preschoolers, 3,400 students in upper secondary schools, and 1,500 students in university programs. 93 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Partnership The program leveraged partnerships between REF, the World Bank Group, and the Open Society Institute.

In Jordan, 2030 WRG helped shape the national water strategy, which is now in the process of being implemented. In South Africa, it catalyzed the formation of the Strategic Water Partners Network, which is developing projects to rehabilitate irrigation infrastructure, reduce leakage in municipal supply, and recover clean water from polluted mine waste runoff. In India, pilot projects use micro-irrigation to enhance agricultural water productivity. In Mexico, it has created cost curves and hydro-economic models to shape a new national water strategy and advance reforms in the water sector. In Mongolia, it is helping governments prioritize areas of engagement, and working groups have started work on three priority areas. In Peru, a multi-stakeholder platform will be established, and the 2030 WRG is facili- tating the participation of Peruvian delegates at international events such as World Water Week in Stockholm.

Project Development Facility to Support Infrastructure to Build Resilience. Forthcoming. The Rockefeller Foundation is providing a grant of $10 million to IFC to support the development of infrastructure projects. The goal of the partnership is to increase the supply of bankable infrastructure projects, and the number of projects that reach financial closure. The foundation’s funds can be used to pay for a government’s legal, technical, or financial advisors when IFC is seeking to invest in or advise on an infra- structure transaction. Often, the lack of proper advice at critical points in the project cycle delays projects, or even prevents projects from reaching financial closure. By funding advice when it is most needed, this partnership will help accelerate the devel- opment of infrastructure projects. Impact The partnership leverages the Rockefeller’s flexible grant capital and IFC’s ability to structure and finance infrastructure projects. The Rockefeller and IFC will together seek to raise $50 million to $100 million for this trust fund. Every $1 of grant funding deployed from the trust fund is expected to mobilize $20-$50 of commercial invest- ment in projects. Partnership IFC and the Rockefeller seek to demonstrate an effective model for how to address key issues that prevent the development of infrastructure projects. IFC and the Rockefeller are piloting the use of a Resilience Screen to understand the link between infrastruc- ture and resilience at the level of a project. Tropical Disease Research.

The center aims to bring back to life the traditional handicraft through a modern center with a range of advanced looms to produce handmade ferka. Traditionally, ferka was produced using an underground loom- which was very difficult for artisans. Through the Artisan Center, an above- the-ground wooden loom with cylinders will be introduced which will help the artisans develop more advanced handicrafts work. The Young Muslim Women Association will train at least 20 female artisans who had abandoned the craft, in addition to a group of young women, to develop and upgrade their skills in order to produce unique pieces of art to be sold locally and abroad. *Ferka, a hand-made woven Egyptian scarf A young woman weaving on an above-the-ground wooden loom | Photo: World Bank 102 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Silatech, Doha, Qatar Tarik M.

This is being rolled out further to cover 50,000 hectares, benefitting a larger number of farmers. The project has also received its first carbon payment, over $100,000, and has issued the first-ever Verified Carbon Standard credits for sustainable agricultural land management. A second sustainable agricultural land management project in Zambia is currently under development with the support of the Syngenta Foundation. 107 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).

Managed by IFC and jointly implemented with the World Bank, this GIIF (see page 67) project addressed the scarcity of affordable insurance protection against weather and natural disasters in developing countries. The objective of the project was to develop index-based agicultural insurance products in Kenya that offer a promising alternative to traditional agricultural crop insurance against weather-related risks in farming. The project also helped develop the financial market in a country where farmers lack access to affordable credit.  IFC provided a grant to the Syngenta Foundation to fund new and affordable in- dex-based insurance products, develop the technology for an SMS-based mobile platform that expands outreach to low-income farmers, and scale up agricultural index insurance into a commercially viable and sustainable product. Impact This initiative resulted in 10 index insurance products reaching 54,000 farmers in Kenya. A help line was launched with call agents to inform callers about index insur- ance, product details, contract types, and coverage information. The initiative has also had an impact on the regional market, especially in Rwanda, where 20,000 farmers were insured in one year. The project team anticipates expanding coverage of this project to Tanzania and Uganda. Partnership The project offered an opportunity for Syngenta Foundation to learn, test, and trial products before launching them. Meanwhile, the “Kilimo Salama” project team benefited from the annual grantees workshop, organized by the GIIF program, and the knowledge sharing network. IFC’s support has helped the team expand the pilot. The partnership demonstrates the importance of insurance as a key enabler of stimulating investment in farming and increasing productivity. 109 THE WORLD BANK GROUP AND FOUNDATIONS | STORIES OF PARTNERSHIP 2014 Tony Elumelu Foundation, Lagos, Nigeria Tony Elumelu, Founder @TonyElumeluFdn The Tony Elumelu Foundation Example of Partnership is committed to the economic The Tony Elumelu Foundation has been a leader in galvanizing support for transformation of Africa by enhancing African-led philanthropy.

Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves. 2010–2012. Traditional cookstoves are a threat to health and security in developing countries, especially for girls and women, as well as to the environment. Household air pollution from traditional cooking is estimated to kill 4.3 million people a year in developing countries. The Global Alliance on Clean Cookstoves, a public-private partnership administered by the UN Foundation, aims to spur the transition to clean cooking for 100 million households by 2020. To support these efforts, the World Bank Group helped prepare a study to review experiences in distributing clean cookstoves, identify market barriers to adopting improved cookstoves at scale, and assess market development approaches. In November 2014, a new five-year year Efficient Clean Cooking and Heating Partnership was announced, to be managed by the World Bank Group, to support in-country programs to encourage clean cooking. Impact The study was published as a joint report by the World Bank Group and the Global Alliance in June 2013, and is the latest and most authoritative report on status and trends in the clean cooking market. To help Guatemala address the health, environmental, and economic im- pacts of cooking with firewood, the Global Alliance convened 100 stakehold- ers in a strategic planning workshop in July 2013 to discuss the analysis of the market for clean cookstoves. Following the workshop, a Country Action Plan for clean cookstoves and fuels was drafted. Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Established 2002. See page 66.
