Development Impact of Fragility Report for IFC on Fragile States as of April 2012 1 April 2012 Fragile and conflict-affected states suffer from low economic growth and development, and citizens of these states lack access to basic services. More than 1.5 billion people live in countries affected by fragility, violence, and conflict. No low-income fragile state has achieved a single Millennium Development Goal, and poverty reduction in countries affected by violence is on average nearly a percentage point lower per year than in countries not affected by violence. The Infrastructure Challenge in Fragile and Conflict-Affected States Fragile and conflict-affected states have an urgent need to deliver basic infrastructure services. However, characterized by the negative impacts of conflict or natural disasters, infrastructure service provision in these states is often left underfunded, and in many cases, damaged or destroyed. In addition, fragile and conflict-affected states often have inadequate public revenues and insufficient government capacity to provide these services. Opportunities exist to leverage the private sector in the financing and operation of vital infrastructure assets. Mobilizing private sector financing and expertise can break the cycle of low investment, low productivity, and resurgent conflict. Nevertheless, challenges remain in attracting private investors with the risk appetite inherent in working in fragile and conflict-affected states: � Higher political and economic risks � Weak investment climate/enabling environment � Lack of counterpart agents � Greater investment needs � Lower payment capacities on the part of consumers Laying the Groundwork for Private Sector Participation Establishing an early track record of attracting private investment and demonstrating good contractual faith can have a positive demonstration effect on other potential private investors. Creating a solid enabling environment and investment climate through legal, regulatory, and policy reforms can represent the first steps on the road to improved infrastructure service provision through private participation. In post-conflict states, mobile telephony has successfully attracted rapid private sector interest due to the sector’s short cost re<strong>cover</strong>y period. Investments in other sectors such as power generation and ports have also taken place relatively soon following the end of conflict. Choosing first projects with the highest chance of success can create a signaling effect, with the possibility to sequence further activities in other sectors based on the success of initial projects. PPIAF-IFC Collaboration in Fragile and Conflict-Affected States PPIAF and IFC are committed to supporting governments in fragile and conflict-affected states to deliver basic services to citizens. In June 2010 the IFC provided PPIAF $2 million, 30% of which was targeted towards IDA-eligible fragile states, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. PPIAF has used the funds to attempt to address the development issues that plague fragile and conflictaffected states by supporting an enabling environment for long-term private sector investments in infrastructure and by funding activities in telecommunications and other sectors with the highest likelihood of yielding immediate impact. Examples of PPIAF technical assistance include:
� Preparation of a pre-feasibility or feasibility study for a specific project � Capacity building support to strengthen knowledge and technical capacity on private sector participation strategies � Developing of sector strategies and policies related to private participation in infrastructure � Quick screening of potential projects with private sector investment � Payment for legal counsel Results of PPIAF-IFC Support PPIAF and IFC teams have worked closely together to screen activities and provide funding to those activities that have the greatest potential for success in the long term. Thus far, this collaboration has yielded impressive results: � C3P has signed six mandates directly following support from PPIAF-IFC funds � One potential mandate is currently at post-quality at entry stage � One existing mandate used PPIAF-IFC funds to strengthen the mandate’s implementation and chance of success � One existing mandate used PPIAF-IFC funds to provide a post-transaction communications plan � 77% of country-specific activities took place in fragile countries, representing 80% of funding � 100% of country-specific activities took place in IDA countries, representing 100% of funding � 56% of activities were managed by C3P staff, representing 64% of funding An additional benefit of PPIAF support is that funding can be provided in support of C3P mandates, prior to the signing of such mandates. This can provide C3P with further leverage when negotiating mandates with clients. Support has also been provided for World Bank projects, for example: � In Chad, the government is launching a bidding process to select a private operator for the water sector under a three-year service contract � In Liberia, PPIAF support has catalyzed government commitment to launch a PPP program, and projects are currently being identified for further pre-feasibility analysis 2
