| Summary: | This paper sets the strategic framework
for the International Development Association's (IDA)
work in Africa, over the next several years. The strategy
evolved over more than a year, as a result of extensive
consultation with Africa Region staff, other Bank staff,
external advisors, clients, partners, and representatives of
civil society in the region. The strategy seeks to clarify
IDA's role within four pillars, i.e., reduce poverty
and improve governance; invest in people; increase economic
growth and enhance competitiveness; and, improve aid
effectiveness. Three levels of measurement are proposed:
IDA's own activities in policy dialogue, programs, and
partnerships; final country outcomes; and, an intermediate
set of indicators that measure policy, and program
effectiveness. It also proposes to further the results
agenda, by pushing toward result-based Country Assistance
Strategies (CAS), and mainstreaming statistical capacity as
a core sector, and, sets benchmarks relating to each of the
four pillars for monitoring the success of its own
implementation. The nest step would be to align IDA
operations with these priorities, by using the strategy to
assist the discussions of CASs, and regional assistance
strategies, and the implementation of training, and
communications to ensure the successful implementation of
the strategy. |
