Aid has a greater importance in fragile and conflict-affected states—especially on on development in these states than in others, and aid on budget, aid predictability, and use of country therefore aid effectiveness—management and delivery of systems—good performance examples in several of these aid—bears serious consideration. Despite its significance, states are identified. The aid effectiveness performance aid effectiveness is appreciably lower in fragile and of development partners in fragile and conflict-affected conflict-affected states than in others. What are the key states differs significantly across different groups. aid effectiveness challenges in these states and how can Multilateral development banks and other multilateral these issues be better addressed? organizations perform better on average than bilateral As important initial steps, this paper aims to identify organizations and vertical funds. Disaggregation of (i) aid effectiveness challenges facing fragile and conflict- development partner performance at the institutional affected states and (ii) good aid effectiveness examples level and the partner country level enables the analysis using the results of the Survey on Monitoring the Paris successfully to identify good performance examples. Declaration on aid effectiveness, which was designed In using the results of this paper to improve aid as a mechanism to support global and country level effectiveness, key additional steps should include (i) accountability. considering whether the identified challenges are Both fragile and conflict-affected states (recipients) essential; (ii) analyzing the factors/reasons behind good and development partners (providers) are mutually performance examples; and (iii) discussing whether good accountable for aid effectiveness; therefore, this paper performance examples can provide lessons that can be focuses on both sides.

The international community has been increasing its focus on FCS and has provided them with significant amounts of aid. Recently, FCS are receiving 30 percent of total Official Development Assistance (ODA)3. However, the increasing attention and resources have not yet translated into significantly improved development results. One and a half billion people live in FCS and they remain the group furthest away from achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)4. The contrast between the increasing focus/aid and development results leads to a critical question: Is aid effective enough to address the development challenges in FCS? The importance of aid effectiveness in FCS is emphasized in ‗A New Deal for engagement in fragile states‘, endorsed by more than 40 partner countries and development partners since it was officially introduced at the 4th High Level Forum (HLF-4) on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, Korea in November 2011. While the relationship between aid and development is not straightforward, the improvement of aid effectiveness – defined as the management and delivery of aid – is rationally linked to improved development results5. Identifying key aid effectiveness challenges is the critical first step for both FCS (recipients of aid) and development partners (providers of aid). This is the first of two main purposes of this paper. The second is an attempt to identify good performance examples in this area, as learning from each other‘s experiences is an important and practical step to improve aid effectiveness. In order to serve for these purposes, this paper relies on quantitative results generated through the Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration (the PD survey) given the survey‘s three key advantages. First, it has comprehensive country coverage with 78 countries participating in the latest survey round in 2011. Second, as it was conducted three times – in 2006, 2008 and 2011 – it allows us to conduct some degree of time series analysis over the past half-decade. Third, it has a comprehensive coverage of aid effectiveness issues, consisting of 15 indicators (including sub- indicators). Among the 15 indicators, this paper selects 10 which directly relate to the delivery and management of aid. However, as the indicators have different definitions and methodology, they cannot be directly compared to each other. Therefore, this paper translates indicator values into standardized scores so that indicators can be more easily compared. As both recipients of aid (FCS) and providers of aid (development partners) are mutually accountable for aid effectiveness, analyses are conducted by focusing on both sides of the equation. First, performance in 2010 is compared across partner countries and indicators, which enables us to 2 This paper uses the World Bank classification of FCS in FY2012. 3 A New Deal for engagement in fragile states 4 World Development Report 2011: Conflict, Security and Development (World Bank) 5 The World Bank defines aid effectiveness as ― a cross-cutting mandate for partner countries, donors, and other aid providers- including the Bank; embodying a reform agenda to better deliver and manage aid‖ 2 identify not only performance by country but also by regions, country groups (IDA vs. IBRD, FCS vs. non-FCS), and indicators. The comparison between FCS and non-FCS confirm that performance in FCS significantly lags behind that of non-FCS in all regions. Second, to identify the areas of FCS challenges, FCS performance is compared across 10 indicators. Among the indicators, FCS challenges emerge in ‗aid flows are aligned with national priorities (aid on budget)‘, ‗aid predictability‘ and ‗use of country procurement systems‘. Third, the results in FCS are disaggregated by country and indicator so that FCS will be able to find good performance examples among themselves (albeit with the need for significant contextualization). Fourth, the performance between 2005 and 2010 is compared for countries participated in both the 2006 and 2011 surveys. Although only three FCS (Afghanistan, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo) participated in both surveys, their progress between the periods was below average, suggesting that fragility and conflict negatively acts as a drag on improvements of aid effectiveness. Turning to development partner performance in FCS, they are first categorized into 4 groups (bilaterals, MDBs, other multilateral organizations (MOs), and vertical funds). MDBs and other MOs perform better collectively than the overall average, while bilaterals and vertical funds perform below the average. Second, further disaggregation by development partner, indicator and partner country enables us to identify strengths and challenges among the development partners, and also distinguish there are good performance examples. In aggregate, the World Bank performs best among the 32 selected development partners. In addition, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) performs especially well on indicators 7 (aid is more predictable); 9 (use of common arrangements or procedures) and 10b (joint country analytics work). At the partner country level, specific examples of good performance can be found. For instance, the indicator 7 (aid is more predictable) performances of Japan in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the African Development Bank in Guinea-Bissau, the World Bank in Sierra Leone, the United Nations in Sudan and Timor- Leste, and Australia in Timor- Leste are especially strong. After the introduction, the second section examines the importance of aid effectiveness in FCS. Section three explains the methodology and data sources used in this paper. Section four provides analyses of aid effectiveness performance for both partner countries and development partners. This is followed by a presentation of conclusions in section five. 2. Importance of Aid Effectiveness in FCS The importance of aid effectiveness in FCS is articulated in the New Deal which has been endorsed by more than 40 FCS and development partners (including the World Bank) since HLF-4 in November 2011. The New Deal states that ―We commit to build mutual TRUST by providing aid and managing resources more effectively and aligning these resources for results‖. In the New Deal, 3 TRUST stands for Transparency, Risk management, Use of country systems, Strengthening capacities and Timely and predictable aid. The focus on aid effectiveness at the political level articulated in the New Deal is supported by two indicators: the share of net ODA in Gross National Income (GNI) and net ODA per capita. The comparison between FCS and non-FCS below shows that both indicators are significantly higher for FCS. Figure 1: The Importance of Aid in FCS Net ODA per capita ($) 1000 : FCSs : Non-FCSs FCS Ave $197 (Median $77) 100 Non-FCS Ave $101 (Median $50) 10 1 0.01 0.1 1 Non-FCS Ave 10 FCS Ave 100 5.3% 19.7% (Median (Median 2.6%) 14.2%) Net ODA % GNI 0.1 Source: Author’s Calculation based on the World Bank database In Figure 1, the horizontal axis shows net ODA in GNI in log, and the vertical axis shows the net ODA per capita in US$. In order to avoid fluctuations across years, data in these indicators uses annual average between 2005 and 2009. Twenty-nine countries marked in red are FCS and 106 countries marked in blue are non-FCS. The unweighted average net ODA as a share in GNI reaches almost 20 percent in FCS, which is more than three times as high as in non-FCS (5.5 percent). The unweighted net ODA per capita in FCS (US$197) is almost twice compared with that in non-FCS (US$101). Medians of these indicators show that while the gap between FCS and non-FCS is narrower on net ODA per capita, the gap is wider on net ODA as a share of GNI. These indicators show that aid effectiveness plays a relatively more significant role in FCS than in non-FCS. 4 3. Data and Methodology (1) Data In light of the significant relevancy of aid effectiveness issues in FCS relative to non-FCS, a critical question is whether aid is more effective in FCS than non-FCS. In order to measure relative aid effectiveness performance in FCS vis-à-vis non-FCS, this paper uses the results of the PD survey due to its three advantages. First, it is the most comprehensive survey on aid effectiveness, with 15 indicators (including sub- indicators) covering the five aid effectiveness principles agreed in the Paris Declaration6, namely ownership, alignment, harmonization, managing for results, and mutual accountability7. Second, it has had a significant and increasing participation from both partner countries and development partners. The number of participating countries increased from 33 in the 2006 baseline survey to 55 in the 2008 survey and 78 in the 2011 survey8. More than 50 development partner participated in the 2011 survey. The 2011 survey captured US$70 billion of aid which was about three quarters of the core aid provided to developing countries worldwide (OECD, 2011, p.18). Third, it was conducted three times, in 2006 (for 2005 baseline data); 2008 (for 2007 data); and 2011 (for 2010 data). Three surveys allow us to conduct a comparison between 2005 and 2010 (although each round of the survey had different country coverage). Among the 15 indicators, 10 indicators are relevant for the analysis of this paper, as they measure the management and delivery of aid while the remaining 5 measure quality of country systems etc. (Table 1).

As Sudan data includes South-Sudan, this paper used data of 77 countries excluding South Sudan in the 2011 survey. 5 Principle Indicators How Measured Harmonization Ind 10a: Joint missions to the field Number of joint missions/total number of missions (%) Harmonization Ind 10b: Joint country analytic work Number of joint analytic work /total number of analytic work (%) Source: World Bank (2011, p.4), see Appendix 1 While the results of the PD survey provide useful data sources to track progress against the commitments in the Paris Declaration, there are some limitations (World Bank, 2011b). The limitations include (i) the fact that the PD survey tracks only selected PD commitments and does not cover many commitments identified as important for aid effectiveness by the subsequent Accra Agenda for Action (AAA) in 2008; and (ii) methodological concerns regarding some indicators. For example, indicator 3 on ‗aid flows aligned to national priorities‘ is actually more of a measure of aid on budget then alignment per se. Moreover, not only does this not measure what was originally intended, but it even oversimplifies the concept on aid on budget. Therefore, while the advantages of the results of the PD survey still hold, the results of the analysis using the results of the PD survey – including the ones in this paper - need to be carefully interpreted. The results of the 2011 survey are available for 77 partner countries and 33 selected development partners9. Table 2 and 3 summarize the profiles of partner countries and development partners.

Therefore, regional performance as overviewed in section four is simply based on countries where data is available. (2) Methodology The results of the PD survey cannot be directly used to compare across indicators. The indicators are measured using different methodology and their targets are arbitrarily decided. For example, indicator 5a on ‗use of country public financial management (PFM) systems is measured as the share of assistance using country PFM systems out of total assistance (%), while indicator 6 on ‗strengthen capacity by avoiding parallel project implementation unit (PIUs)‘ is measured by the number of parallel PIUs. Indicator targets are set up in different ways without clear rationales. In other words, measuring performance against targets is not a sensible way to conduct comparison across indicators. Therefore, in order to enable us to conduct such a comparison across indicators, standardized scores of the PD survey results are calculated using the following formula. Standardized scores follow a normal distribution with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one. Standardized scores show how many standard deviations the value is away from the mean. For example, when a standardized score of an indicator is 1.0, this means that the indicator is away from the mean by 1.0 standard deviation and the probability of exceeding 1.0 is 15.9 percent. The analysis using the standard deviation has two advantages. One is that it enables us to calculate a composite global aid effectiveness score for both partner countries and development partners. The other is that the change between 2005 and 2010 can be also standardized to compare the improvement in performance between these periods. While the standardization of partner country data is simple as data is available for all indicators in all partner countries, that of development partners needs some adjustments as not all development partners are active in all partner countries. For example, the Asian Development Bank is not operating in Africa and the African Development Bank is not operating in Asia. Assuming that development partner performance is influenced by partner country performance, the different partner country coverage in operation cannot be ignored and some adjustments are required. Therefore, standardized scores of development partners are calculated separately in all partner countries by indicators. In this paper, the calculation of the standardized scores is unweighted. In other words, all partner countries and development partners are equally treated regardless of their size and other characteristics. This is consistent with the main purposes of this paper – which identifies key aid effectiveness constraints of FCS in comparison with non-FCS. 7 4. Results Standardized scores based on the results of the PD survey are used for the following analyses: (1) overall partner country performance in 2010; (2) characteristics of FCS performance in 2010; (3) FCS partner country progress between 2005 and 2010; (4) overall development partner performance in 2010; and (5) development partner performance in FCS in 2010. The first three analyses focus on partner countries, while the remaining two analyses focus on development partners. The results of the analyses identify key aid effectiveness challenges in FCS and also provide good performance examples drawing from both FCS and development partners. (1) Partner Country Performance in 2010 The sum of standardized scores across indicators provides a comprehensive picture of a partner country‘s performance relative to that of other countries. By definition, if the sum is zero, the country‘s aid effectiveness performance is an average. If it is positive (negative), performance of the country is above (below) average. It is important to note that all indicators are treated equally. In other words, there are no different weights among indicators and correlations among indicators have not taken into account. Table 4 and figure 2 show the results of the sum of the standardized scores in all countries10.

On the other hand, performance in ECA (-3.4) and LAC (-1.6) are both below average. AFR‘s above the average performance is noteworthy, and a breakdown of performance by country (Figure 2) shows that two AFR countries (Rwanda and Tanzania) are among the top three countries. Among country groups, while the difference between IDA and IBRD is insignificant and there are no patterns (i.e., some IDA countries perform better than IBRD and vice versa), in all regions except for MNA, FCS performance is worse than that of non-FCS countries (and this also holds true across regions)11. In Figure 2, 13 countries out of 17 FCS (bars marked in red) are below average. (2) Characteristics of FCS Performance in 2010 A disaggregation of FCS performance by indicators helps identify on which indicators FCS performance lags behind that of non-FCS. Figure 3 shows the sum of standardized scores for FCS across indicators. 11 In MNA, West Bank and Gaza is the only FCS. 9 Figure 3: FCS Performance by Indicators Indicator 3.

The poor performance is especially outstanding on indicator 3 (aid flows are aligned with national priorities (aid on budget)), indicator 7 (aid is more predictable) and indicator 5b (use of country procurement systems). This finding is consistent with the New Deal which highlights transparency, aid predictability and use of country systems as the key aid effectiveness challenges in FCS. While the disaggregation of FCS performance by indicators helps us to better understand the comprehensive picture of FCS performance, key aid effectiveness constraints need to be identified on a country by country basis so that each FCS can identify areas for improvement. Table 5 shows standardized scores of all indicators across FCS.

While more than one third of scores are positive, the degree is small. However, there are 8 scores exceeding 1.0 which shows relatively good performance. These are: Indicator 3 (Aid on budget): Comoros (1.2) Indicator 4 (Strengthen capacity by coordinated support): Liberia (1.5) and Solomon Islands (1.0) Indicator 6: (Strengthen capacity by avoiding parallel project implementation units): Sierra Leone (1.0) Indicator 7: (Aid is more predictable): Chad (1.0) and West Bank and Gaza (1.3) Indicator 8 (Aid is untied): Comoros (1.0) Indicator 9 (Use of common arrangements or procedures): West Bank and Gaza (1.2) While the threshold (1.0) is arbitrarily decided, if FCS prefer to learn from each other‘s experience, these are the potential list of candidates. However, there are four indicators without any examples of good performance including indicators 5a (use of country PFM systems); 5b (use of country procurement systems); 10a (joint missions); and 10b (joint country analytic work). For these indicators, FCS may have to seek lessons from non-FCS, with significant efforts to adapt good examples to FCS realities. Lessons can be learned not only from good performance examples, but also from poor performance examples; using these cases as lessons on avoiding similar mistakes. With the threshold at -1.8, nine relatively poor performance examples can be identified. These are: Indicator 3 (Aid on budget): Bosnia-Herzegovina (-2.1), Central African Republic (-2.1) and Liberia (-1.9) 11 Indicator 4 (Strengthen capacity by coordinated support): Afghanistan (-1.9) and Kosovo (- 2.8) Indicator 6 (Strengthen capacity by avoiding parallel project implementation units): Burundi (-1.9), Haiti (-2.2) and Sudan (-2.9) Indicator 9 (Use of common arrangements or procedures): Central African Republic (-1.9). (3) FCS Partner Country Progress between 2005 and 2010 Poor FCS aid effectiveness performance in 2010 identified in the previous analyses may not be surprising due to well recognized challenges. However, the question on whether FCS performance improved between 2005 and 2010 is unanswered. There are two hypotheses. One is that as FCS started from a weak base, progress would be better than for non-FCS. The other is that the challenges faced by FCS would prevent these countries from improving their performance. The same methodology as used previously is employed to compare progress between 2005 and 2010. Changes in indicator values are standardized to enable comparison across indicators and countries. Thirty-two countries participated in the PD survey in both 2006 and 2011. Among these, three countries (Afghanistan, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo) are FCS and one country (Cambodia) graduated from FCS between the periods12. Figure 4 shows performance in 2010 (the horizontal axis) and progress between 2005 and 2010 (the vertical axis)13.

Finally, the third quadrant shows countries that are better than the average in terms of their progress between 2005 and 2010, but their 2010 performance is below average. All three FCS marked in red and Cambodia (marked blue) fall into the fourth quadrant which means that not only performance in 2010, but also progress between 2005 and 2010 is worse than the average. While the sample size of FCS prevents us from generating a concrete answer to the question, the second hypothesis (i.e., challenges in FCS prevent them from improving aid effectiveness performance between 2005 and 2010) seems to apply for these countries. (4) Development Partner Performance in 2010 The ten aid effectiveness indicators measure not only partner country performance but also development partner performance by country. As aid effectiveness is a measure of the delivery and management of aid, it is logical to analyze the performance from both the recipient side (partner country) and the provider side (development partner). Using the methodology introduced in section 3, standardized scores for 32 development partners are calculated by indicator and by country. Table 6 shows the average sum of standardized scores by development partner groups and country groups (i.e., averaged by the number of institution/countries in a group). Table 6: Performance by Development Partner Groups and Country Groups Group No FCS (Rank) Non-FCS (Rank) FCS + Non-FCS (Rank) Bilateral 22 -15.9 (3) -40.8 (3) -56.7 (3) MDBs 4 54.0 (1) 150.9 (1) 204.9 (1) Other MOs 4 51.7 (2) 128.2 (2) 180.0 (2) Vertical funds 2 -36.2 (4) -113.2 (4) -149.3 (4) Source: Author There are two findings. First, there are no differences in ranking among the groups between FCS and non-FCS (e.g. bilaterals are on average the lowest performers in both FCS and non-FCS countries). Second, among the four groups, MDBs perform best followed by other MOs, vertical funds and bilaterals. Table 5 provides us with a general sense that relative development partner performance is quite similar between FCS and non-FCS. However, development partner performance may still differ between FCS and non-FCS on particular indicators. Table 7-A and B includes the average standardized scores by indicator. 13 Table 7: Performance by Development Partner Groups by Indicators A.

This confirms that even disaggregated by indicators, relative development partner performance is similar between FCS and non-FCS. In FCS (Table 6-B), the average performance of MDBs is the strongest, followed by other MOs, bilaterals and vertical funds. Bilaterals exceed the average on two indicators: indicator 6 (strengthen capacity by avoiding parallel PIUs) and indicator 8 (aid is untied). On indicator 8, the better than average performance of bilaterals is a reflection of particularly weak performance of vertical funds. As vertical fund assistance is almost all tied, relative performance of other groups becomes positive almost by default. 14 While performance of vertical funds is the worst in aggregation (i.e., -36.2), this group performs best of any on indicator 6 (strengthen capacity by avoiding parallel PIUs) and has good performance on indicator 9 (use of common arrangements or procedures (program-based approached- PBAs)). Their assistance is 100 percent program-based in several FCS (e.g., GAVI alliance in Afghanistan and Sierra Leone). MDBs and other MOs perform above average in all but one or two indicators. MDBs are the top performers on indicators 3 (aid flows are aligned with national priorities (aid on budget)); 5a (use of country PFM systems); 7 (aid is more predictable); 8 (aid is untied); and 9 (Use of common arrangements or procedures (program-based approaches—PBAs). Other MOs have the top performance on indicators 4 (strengthen capacity by coordinated support (technical assistance)); 5b (use of country procurement systems); 10a (joint missions to the field); and 10b (joint country analytic work). (5) Development Partner Performance in FCS in 2010 The previous sub-section provides a comparative analysis based on development partner groups on areas of strength as well as those needing further improvement, disaggregated by indicator. However, the improvement of aid effectiveness for each development partner requires the same analysis done at the country/institution level. Figure 5 shows the sum of standardized scores by development partners in FCS. Figure 5: Standardized Scores by Development Partners in FCS 150 � Bilateral � MDBs � Other MOs 100 � Vertical funds 50 0 -50 -100 Netherlands Denmark EU Institutions Luxembourg Austria Italy Australia Sweden Ireland New Zealand Belgium Spain United Nations IFAD United States Japan IDB Switzerland GAVI Alliance World Bank Portugal Finland Canada Norway Asian Dev. Bank African Dev. Bank France Germany United Kingdom IMF Korea Global Fund Source: Author’s Calculation 15 MDBs and other MOs including the World Bank, EU Institutions and United Nations are among the top performers on the figure. On the other hand, bilaterals and vertical funds‘ performance are below average. While Figure 5 provides a comprehensive picture of relative strengths and challenges among the development partners, yet it does not provide specify relative strengths and weaknesses in each indicator. This is because the more partner countries a development partner operates in, the greater the extent that strength/weakness is exaggerated. For example, the World Bank operates in 17 FCS, while the African Development Bank operates in 9 FCS countries. With such differences in the number of partner countries per each development partner, the comparison of aggregated standardized scores may not make sense. In order to enable us to compare across development partners, average standardized scores by development partners and indicators is calculated (Figure 6)14. Figure 6: Development Partner Performance by Indicators in FCS 10 Ind 10b 8 Ind 10a Ind 9 Ind 8 6 Ind 7 Ind 6 Ind 5b 4 Ind 5a Ind 4 Ind 3 2 total 0 -2 -4 -6 Source: Author In Figure 6, even after taking the number of FCS in operation into consideration, the World Bank is at the top of the table with all indicators above the average followed by the Asian Development Bank and the IMF. More interestingly, the average standardized scores help us to identify where 14 Average by the number of FCS in operation 16 there are strengths and challenges by indicators. Table 8 shows the most prominent strengths/challenges identified by standardized scores being above/below 1.5. Table 8: Strengths and Challenges by Development Partners Name of Development Partner (Indicator) Strengths IADB (Ind 7, 9, 10b); IFAD (Ind 5a, 10b); IMF (Ind 5a, 5b) Challenges GAVI (Ind 8); Global Fund (Ind 8); IFAD (Ind 8); UN (Ind 6) Source: Appendix 4 IADB performs well on indicators 7, 9 and 10b; IFAD performs well on indicators 5a and 10b and the IMF performs well on indicators 5a and 5b. While IADB and IMF operated in limited numbers of FCS15, it is nonetheless worth exploring efforts and implementation at their institutional levels. This analysis helps development partners to identify areas of relative strengths and challenges, and encourages peer learning, and therefore FCS may in turn wish to learn from specific indicator examples by development partners from other FCS. If we pick up the top 5 percent of standardized scores for each indicator, we can obtain 5 examples of superior performance for each indicator (Table 9).

Conclusion The two main purposes of this paper are to identify (i) the key aid effectiveness challenges in FCS and (ii) good performance examples which can provide useful lessons to help address aid effectiveness challenges. The identification of challenges is the critical first step to improve aid effectiveness, and exploring strong performance by peers in critical areas is a practical way to find adaptable approaches. As both recipients and providers are key stakeholders for aid effectiveness – recognized as the delivery and management of aid – this paper provides analyses from both angles. This paper relies on the results of the PD survey due to its country coverage, issue coverage and availability of historical data. In order to enable us to use the results for comparison, the results are standardized. While the data sources and methodology are useful, they have limitations. Therefore, the results of this paper need to be carefully interpreted and strong performance on a particular indicator by a given country/development partner many be the result of factors other than good and replicable practices. Bearing that in mind, the results show that:  In all regions except MNA, the performance of FCS significantly lags behind that of non-FCS, especially on indicator 3 (aid flows are aligned with national priorities (aid on budget)); indicator 7 (aid is more predictable) and indicator 5b (use of country procurement systems).  Despite the poor FCS performance in general, several countries can provide good examples which other FCS can learn from (e.g. indicator 7 (aid is more predictable) in West Bank and Gaza).  The comparison between 2005 and 2010 shows that FCS‘ below average performance in 2010 is matched by below average improvements over this period.  On average, among development partners, MDBs and other MOs such as the World Bank, EU institutions and United Nations perform better than bilaterals and vertical funds in both FCS and non-FCS contexts, although performance differs across countries, indicators, and institutions.  In FCS, good institutional-level examples abound, and include IADB‘s performance on indicators 7 (aid is more predictable), 9 (use of common arrangements and procedures) and 10b (joint country analytic work).  At the partner country level, good development partner examples also exist and include the indicator 7 performances of Japan in Democratic Republic of Congo, of the African Development Bank in Guinea-Bissau and of the World Bank in Sierra Leone. The identification of key aid effectiveness challenges and good performance examples are the initial steps for both partner countries and development partners to improve their aid effectiveness. 18 Going forward, it is critical to take the following factors into account. First, it is important to consider whether the identified challenges are important. While this paper equally treats all indicators, in practice, the importance of indicators differs across partner countries and development partners, dependent upon preferences and contexts and there may be correlations between indicators. Second, in learning from good examples, it is important to analyze the reasons and factors behind them. Third, applicability of good examples needs to be carefully considered as lessons from strong performance in one indicator in a given country may not be directly applied to another country. 19 Reference OECD (2011) ―Aid Effectiveness 2005-2011: Progress in Implementing the Paris Declaration‖ World Bank (2011a) ―World Development Report 2011: Conflict, Security and Development" World Bank (2011b) ―The World Bank and Aid Effectiveness: Performance to Date and Agenda Ahead‖ 20 Appendix 1: 15 Indicators of the Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration Partner Developme country nt partner How measured (including Indicators 2010 target performanc performanc source of information) e e Operational national Bank‘s assessment based on 75% of partner countries 1 development  information from partner have operational national strategies countries development strategies Reliable public Country Policy and Half of partner countries financial 2a  Institutional Assessment move up at least one management (PFM) (CPIA) Indicator 13 measure systems Reliable Self-assessment using No target (due to the small 2b procurement  Methodology for Assessing number of countries systems Procurement Systems (MAPS) conducting MAPS in 2010) Aid flows reported in the Aid flows are aligned annual budget by with national Halve the gap (at least 3  government/aid flows actually priorities (aid on 85% reported on budget) disbursed by development budget) partners (%) Strengthen capacity Amount of coordinated by coordinated 50% of technical 4  technical cooperation / total support (technical cooperation is coordinated technical cooperation (%) assistance) A one-third (two-thirds) reduction in the % of aid Use of country PFM Use of PFM/total assistance 5a  for partner countries with systems (%) a score of 3.5-4.5 (5 or above) on indicator 2a Use of country No target (as no target is procurement Use of procurement / total 5b  set for indicator 2b) systems assistance (%) Strengthen capacity by avoiding parallel Reduce by two-thirds the 6 project  Number of parallel PIUs stock of parallel PIUs (- implementation 67%) units (PIUs) Actual aid flows recorded by Halve the proportion of Aid is more the government/scheduled aid aid not disbursed within 7  predictable flows by development partners FY for which it was (%) scheduled Continue progress over 8 Aid is untied  OECD-DAC data time Use of common Program-based approaches arrangements or (budget support + non-budget 66% of aid flows are 9 procedures  support PBAs)/total through PBAs (program-based assistance (%) approaches—PBAs) Number of joint 10 Joint missions to the  missions/total number of 40% a field missions (%) Joint country Number of joint analytic work 10 analytic work  /total number of analytic work 66% b (%) 11 Results-oriented Bank‘s assessment based on 38% of partner countries frameworks  information from partner have sound results- countries oriented frameworks 12 Mutual Partner countries have mutual All partner countries have accountability  assessment reviews based on mutual assessment their response reviews Source: World Bank (2011, p.4) 21 Appendix 2: Standardized Scores 1.
