APPENDIX J
WORKING ACROSS SECTORS AND THEMES: CODING OF BANK LENDING OPERATIONS, FY1995-2010
time. PSG has been flagged as a non-affiliated theme in 29 percent and a nonaffiliated
sector in 48 percent of the operations approved during FY07-10, compared
to 31 percent and 79 percent in FY95-98. Operations of other Sector Boards allocated
an average of 10 percent to the PSG theme during FY07-10, a slight increase from 9
percent during FY95-98. But when considering PSG as a sector, the trend is reversed,
with an average of 16 percent of other operations allocated to PSG sectors during
FY07-10, compared to 20 percent during FY95-98.
103. Like in environment, operations mapped to the public sector governance
Sector Board are becoming more specialized over time. During FY07-10, 25 percent
of allocations for operations mapped to the PSG Sector Board were assigned to nonaffiliated
themes, a share that has declined from 42 percent during FY95-98.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND GENDER
104. The prevalence of Social Development and Gender as themes in operations
mapped to other Sector Boards appears to have declined over time. SDV and
gender have been flagged in 16 percent of the operations approved during FY07-10,
a substantial decline compared to 25 percent during FY95-98. Operations of other
Sector Boards allocated an average of 4 percent to the social development and
gender themes during FY07-10, compared to 7 percent in FY95-98.
