Harmonising Ex ante poverty impact assessment International Forum on Poverty Reduction On Good Practices 14 -15 November 2006 Solveig Buhl, GTZ Solveig. buhl@gtz. de
A harmonised ex ante Poverty Impact Assessment (PIA) is required The new challenges are • Harmonization • Alignment • Accountability • Management for Development Results • Increasing effectiveness
The Task Team within DAC POVNET • Group founded in 2005 to develop harmonised and easy to use approach to (ex ante) poverty impact assessment • Participants: DAC/OECD, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, UK, Sweden, Switzerland, USA, Ireland, Finland (plus consultations with partner countries) • Report “Harmonizing ex ante Poverty Impact Assessment” approved by DAC in March 2006 http: //www. oecd. org/dataoecd/32/44/36573576. pdf • Pilots by several donors in 2006 • Guide to PIA will be submitted to POVNET in November 2006 and soon be published
Basic properties and level of application • Can cover most interventions (policy, programmes, projects, NOT budget support) • Based on existing approaches, e. g. PSIA, capability framework • Use of existing data and analyses • Relatively simple, flexible approach, providing 5 modules with matrices
PIA Framework and modules PIA Modules 5 Assess Improvements to MDGs plus 2 Analyse Institutions & Stakeholders Risks 1 National Strategies / Plans Country Assistance Strategies MDGs gaps Determine & Design Interventions y and Determine transmission channels qualit 3 ation Assess Enhancement to capabilities Inform 4 R E S U L T S C H A I N
PIA is a flexible approach • PIA should be embedded in ongoing planning and appraisal process: can be part of comprehensive planning document or constitute separate report • PIA can be carried out by interdisciplinary team or as a desk study – should never degenerate into a mere box ticking exercise • Time needed varies between 2 days and 2 -3 weeks • can also be used - in slightly modified way – for assessment during or after implementation
The improved understanding of the planned interventions serves several purposes To summarise, PIA allows to • identify interventions with high poverty reduction and propoor growth impact • improve design of proposed intervention • identify existing information and information gaps • identify monitoring needs • Increased transparency, accountability and dialogue • Reduces burden on partner countries • Clearly in line with Paris Declaration!
Next steps and challenges for the future • Dissemination of lessons learned and continuous learning • Up-scaling of the approach • Increased involvement of partner countries • Capacity development

Module 1: Poverty situation and relevance to national strategies and plans General poverty situation in country / region / area Existing national strategies / programmes relevant to the intervention Short description of the intervention and how it aligns to national programmes
Module 2: Stakeholder/ Institution Analysis, Example PPP Biofuel Stakeholders / intermediaries Main Tasks Interests and pro-poor agenda; aspects that might hinder them to have a pro-poor agenda (risks) Rating Company India Buy seedlings and produce No particular interest in poverty bio diesel reduction 0 ICRISAT Capacity Development Research & Development Mainly interested in developing viable, sustainable agronomic approach, but also interested in poverty reduction + International company Technology Transfer No particular interest in poverty reduction 0 NGOs Organising village level groups to ensure equity By mandate interested in poverty reduction and equity issues ++
