76 MACROECONOMIC, TRADE, AND AID DEVELOPMENTS GLOBAL MONITORING REPORT 2013 BOX 1.2 World Bank performance on development cooperation The World Bank’s performance on development cooperation has continuously improved and is among the strongest of all development partners. Evidence from international assessments, including the Paris Declaration Monitoring Survey, confirms the Bank’s sustained commitment to improving its own effectiveness in support of stronger development outcomes. With the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation in mind, the Bank focuses on the following priorities: Partner Country Leadership and Ownership. The Bank promotes better development cooperation and more effective institutions by: • Aligning its support with each country’s development priorities. • Focusing on capacity development, investing in human capital, and strengthening stakeholder ownership to facilitate achievement of national development goals. • Supporting public sector institutions and systems through better diagnostic, analytical, and measurement tools. • Enabling stronger government-led management of development support and greater integration of aid and other support into national budgets. • Strengthening and using country systems—for budget and project management, procurement, financial management, environmental and social safeguards, and results measurement—with the ultimate objective of transforming development support into sustainable results. Results. The Bank adopts results-orientation implementation by: • Implementing a Corporate Scorecard, an institutional-level IDA Results Measurement System, and an Annual Results Report. • Mainstreaming a results culture with systematic results frameworks for all lending projects, programs, and country assistance strategies, as well as adopting new results-oriented financing instruments such as the Program for Results (P4R); and increasing impact evaluations and evidence-based decision making through the collaborative Bank– partner country Development Impact Evaluation Initiative (DIME). • Supporting country capacity to implement resultsbased approaches; building country statistical capacity to support enhanced and rigorous monitoring and evaluation; and working with regional Communities of Practice for cross-country knowledge exchange and capacity development on results management. • Using innovative tools such as geo-mapping, beneficiary feedback, third-party monitoring, and other mechanisms to enhance social accountability and improve service delivery. Transparency. The Bank has made great strides in the area of transparency by: • Launching an Access to Information Policy, the Open Data and Open Knowledge initiatives, and the Open Access Repository. These initiatives encourage public access, help improve accountability, and link funding to development outcomes and results. • Being identified as a global leader on transparency by the Aid Transparency Index from Publish What You Fund and the transparency component of the Center for Global Development’s QuODA assessment. • Demonstrating leadership as an active proponent and implementer of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), which sets a common standard for all development partners to share aid data. • Supporting recipient country Open Government initiatives and efforts to improve budget management and transparency for domestic accountability. • Promoting aid predictability to facilitate greater transparency. • Maintaining AidFlows (http://www.aidflows.org/), a publicly available web-based source of information about aid flows that seeks to better inform the global conversation about development funding. AidFlows began as a partnership between the OECD-DAC and the World Bank. AidFlows provides easy access to country-by-country information in an intuitive visual format. The site has been well received by a range of users, including government officials in donor and recipient countries, aid agencies, MDBs, NGOs, and civil society organizations.

GLOBAL MONITORING REPORT 2013 MACROECONOMIC, TRADE, AND AID DEVELOPMENTS 77 BOX 1.2 World Bank performance on development cooperation (continued) Development partnerships beyond aid. The Bank integrates key themes and opportunities presented by the evolving development landscape through: • Partnering with lower- and middle-income developing countries to facilitate support through South-South cooperation, including knowledge exchanges, technology transfers, investment, trade, and financial support. • Leveraging funding from middle-income countries, the private sector, foundations, global funds and programs, and other sources that contribute significantly to development. Countries in fragile and conflict situations face complex development challenges and are a special area of focus for the Bank. The New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States sets out a collective vision and principles for engagement with these fragile and conflict-affected countries. The Bank is spearheading efforts in several key areas critical to successful implementation of the New Deal, such as supporting technical capacity in the g7+ (the country-owned and -led global mechanism to monitor, <strong>report</strong>, and draw attention to the unique challenges faced by fragile states), piloting peace-building and state-building Indicators for partner countries, and actively supporting forums for strengthening partnerships among partner countries, donors, MDBs, civil society organizations, and the private sector. Recognizing that progress on development cooperation at the global, institutional, and country levels is interlinked, the World Bank continues its engagement and leadership in international platforms, initiatives, and partnerships; leads and innovates through institutional reforms, policies, and practices; and promotes support for country-led and -owned development efforts. achieving high coverage of vulnerable target populations (pregnant women and children up to age 24 months) with evidence-based direct nutrition services. 17 Another example of a special focus to improve achievement of the MDGs is in this case a World Bank initiative. The World Bank’s five-year (2010–2015) Reproductive Health Action Plan (RHAP) is accelerating progress on maternal and child health by targeting 57 high priority countries, mostly in Africa and South Asia, with the highest burden of maternal and neonatal deaths, high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, and high fertility rates. Projects include increasing skilled attendance at births, training health care workers, and expanding girls’ education. As of March 2013, more than half (56) of the World Bank’s 102 active health projects address high fertility and maternal mortality, and 52 projects address child health. Focusing on health system strengthening and targeting the poor and vulnerable through innovative mechanisms, such as results-based financing, these projects are showing promising results. For example, in Burundi, support from the Burundi Health Sector Development Support Project for the nationwide results-based financing (RBF) 18 program has helped to increase utilization of maternal and child health services including: (a) a rise in births at health facilities by 25 percent; (b) an increase in prenatal consultations by 20 percent; (c) a 35 percent increase in curative care consultations for pregnant women; and (d) a 27 percent increase in family planning services obtained through health facilities—during the just first year of implementation. Using ICT to improve the effectiveness of projects The use of information and communication technology (ICT) for economic development was recognized when the official list of MDG indicators was adopted as part of MDG 8, which focuses on the deepening of a global
