DISCLOSING IDA COUNTRY PERFORMANCE RATINGS

1.The Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) ratings and the IDA Country
Performance (ICP) ratings, which are mainly derived from the CPIA ratings, have evolved over
the past decades as key elements of the IDA performance-based allocation (PBA) system.
Because of the importance of IDAS assessment system in the allocation of resources, there is
considerable interest in it and growing sentiment in favor of its greater transparency and
disclosure. Since 2000, IDA has been disclosing the relative CPIA ratings for countries eligible
for IDA financing, classified in a quintile format.* Consistent with the spirit of the Banks 2002
Disclosure Policy, which significantly expanded the information to be made available to the
public, and following up on the recommendations in Additions to IDA Resources: Thirteenth
Replenishment, this paper presents for Executive Directors consideration a proposal for
broadening the disclosure of the IDA country performance ratings and its components,
specifically the CPIA ratings.
A. Background
2. The Bank initiated country assessments in the late 1970s to help guide the allocation of
lending resources. The methodology has evolved over time, reflecting lessons learned and
mirroring the evolution o f t he d development Daradigm. Today, the C PIA ratings are
prepared
annually and cover 136 countries. The ratings consist of 20 equally weighted criteria
representing the different policy and institutional dimensions of an effective poverty reduction
and growth strategy. The ratings are used in the IDA allocation process and several other
corporate activities, and have recently been used in the Global Monitoring Report3 (without
disclosing results for individual countries).
3. CPZA Ratings. The objective of the CPIA is to assess the quality of a countrys policy
and institutional framework to foster sustainable growth, poverty reduction, and the effective
use
of development assistance. This is an inherently challenging task. The ratings should depend on
actual policies, rather than intentions, and should depend on the level of performance rather
than
changes from the previous year. The criteria are focused on policies and institutional
arrangements, the key elements that are within the countrys control, rather than on actual
outcomes (for example, growth rates) that are influenced by elements outside the countrys
control. Good policies and institutions are expected to lead, over time, to higher growth and
poverty reduction, notwithstanding possible yearly fluctuations due to external factors.
4. CPIA Criteria. The 20 equally weighted CPIA criteria are grouped in four clusters:
Economic Management, Structural Policies, Policies for Social Inclusion and Equity, and Public
Sector Management and Institutions. For each of the 20 criteria, countries are rated on a scale
of
1 ( low) to 6 (high), and these ratings are averaged to yield a composite country rating. T he
ratings reflect a variety of indicators, observations, and judgments based on country knowledge
originated in the Bank, through analytic work or policy dialogue, or based on work done by
partners and relevant publicly available indicators.
5. CPIA and IDA Allocation. IDA resources are allocated in per capita terms on the basis
of the countrys ICP rating and, to a lesser extent, GNI per capita. The ICP is obtained by
calculating a weighted average of the CPIA (80 percent) and the portfolio rating in the Banks
Annual Report on Portfolio Performance (ARPP) (20 percent), and then multiplying this
weighted average by the governance factor.~ Use of the ICP rating ensures that good
performers
receive, in per capita terms, a higher share of IDAs available resources.
6. Disclosure Practice. In FYOO (the start of IDAl2), IDA began disclosing, in a quintile
format, the CPIA and ICP relative ratings for IDA-eligible countries. Management (a) instructed
country teams of IDA-eligible countries to discuss with each countrys authorities their
countrys
CPIA and ICP ratings and the resulting country IDA allocation, and (b) posted on the external
website the quintile-based rating results for the CPIA, its four clusters, the country portfolio,
and
the ICP rating (see IDAs external web page for the 2003 CPIA quintile rating?). Disclosure of
the relative CPIA ratings, classified by quintile, of IDA-eligible countries i s n o w covered under
the Banks 2002 Disclosure Policy.6 Thus, while the methodology of the PBA system is in the
public domain, the detailed CPIA and ICP numerical ratings for individual countries are
available only to World Bank staff.
7. IDA13 and Disclosure. During the IDA13 replenishment discussions the issue of further
disclosure of IDA country ratings for IDA-only and blend countries was discussed. According to
the IDA1 3 Replenishment Report,
... disclosure of the rating system would allow it to benefit from open scrutiny and to
serve as a diagnostic tool for strengthening development partnerships. Deputies agreed
that sharing ratings with client countries was an important step and recommended that
IDA explore ways to share ratings with other partners with the goal of public disclosure
Of these ratings. Deputies asked Management to report o n readiness o f t he system for
public disclosure and the timing of public disclosure of individual country ratings at the
IDA13 Mid-Tenn Review.


IDA New Member which recently added to IDA in April 12
2014:


Minister Delegate for Budget and Romanias Governor of the World Bank Group (WBG),
Liviu Voinea, today signed on behalf of Romania the Articles of Agreement of the
International Development Association (IDA). World Bank Vice President for Europe
and Central Asia Laura Tuck was joined by World Bank Vice President Joachim von
Amsberg, Romanian officials, and World Bank staff for the signing ceremony in
Washington, DC. The signing brings IDAs membership to 173.

Minister Delegate for Budget and Romanias Governor of the World Bank Group Liviu Voinea signs the Articles of
Agreement of the International Development Association (IDA).









Romanias membership in IDAa global coalition of development partners committed
to accelerating the fight against extreme povertyis an important step towards
enhancing its global reach. The membership underscores the increasing role emerging
economies are playing in the development of poorer countries, harnessing their
resources, knowledge, and experience in lifting people out of poverty.
Together, the development partners that make up IDA bring together unique
perspectives to help the worlds poorest countries tackle deep-seeded development
challenges across a range of sectors, with a focus on climate change, gender, conflict
and fragility, and inclusive growth.
IDA is the World Banks main instrument for achieving the goals of ending extreme
poverty and boosting shared prosperity in the worlds 82 poorest countrieshome to
nearly one billion people living on less than $1.25 per day. Despite difficult
circumstances in many countries, the global community agreed in December 2013 to
accelerate the fight to end extreme poverty by committing a record amount of financing
for IDAmore than $52.1 billion. This commitment is testament to development
partners belief that an investment in the future of the poorest countries is an investment
in the future prosperity of all countries.
The signing is part of Minister Voineas agenda while heading the delegation of
Romania at the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the WBG
on April 8-13.
Each Spring, government officials, journalists, civil society organizations, and invited
participants from academia and the private sector, gather in Washington, DC for the
IMF-WBG Spring Meetings. At the heart of the gathering are meetings of the IMF's
International Monetary and Financial Committee and the joint World Bank-IMF
Development Committee, which discuss progress on the work of the IMF and the WBG.
Seminars, regional briefings, press conferences, and other events focused on the global
economy, international development, and the worlds financial markets are also
featured.

ABCs of IDAThematic and Country Results

For more than 50 years, the International Development Association (IDA), the World
Banks fund for the poorest, has taken on the most difficult and complex challenges.
One of the largest sources of development finance, IDA provides support for health,
education, infrastructure, agriculture, economic, and institutional development to the
worlds poorest countrieshalf of which are in Africa. These countries are home to 2.5
billion people, 1.8 billion of whom survive on $2 a day or less.
With IDAs help, hundreds of millions of people have escaped povertythrough the
creation of jobs, access to clean water, schools, roads, nutrition, electricity, and more.
During the past decade, IDA funding immunized nearly half a billion children, provided
access to better water sources for 123 million people, and helped 65 million people
receive health services.

And IDA is innovative. We are helping countries leapfrog traditional energy sources by
harnessing the sun to light
homes and power businesses, and to deal with the effects of a changing environment
while building climate-smart
resilience for the long term. We are working to find new triggers to integrate women and
other vulnerable citizens into
society as equals. And we are there for the long haul, helping put countries on a path to
stability and growth after
conflict and other disasters.
With IDAs help, hundreds of millions of people have escaped povertythrough the
creation of jobs, access to clean water, schools, roads, nutrition, electricity, and more.
During the past decade, IDA funding immunized nearly half a billion children, provided
access to better water sources for 123 million people, and helped 65 million people
receive health services. During the food crisis, we helped get seeds and fertilizers to 8.5
million farm households, cash or food-for-work programs to 1.7 million people, and
meals to 923,000 school children.

IDA is replenished every three years with contributions from developed and developing
country donors, as well as from two other agencies of the World Bank Group: the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Finance
Corporation.
And IDA works. With help from IDA, 28 countrieshome to 2.1 billion people or 34
percent of the worlds populationhave graduated. Their economic development
means they are no longer reliant on IDA support, and many have gone on to become
IDA donors. Helping countries build the institutions and capacities to help themselves
and putting them on a path to fund their own development is a priority for IDA.
