POVNET’s work
• Formed in 1998: subsidiary body of Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of OECD– helps development agencies develop more effective and sustainable
approaches to supporting partner country poverty reduction efforts (DAC Guidelines: Poverty Reduction, 2001)
• Since 2003: focus on relationship between economic growth and poverty reduction in developing countries and strategies and policies that donors should pursue to promote pro-poor growth (PPG) (Promoting Pro-Poor Growth: Policy Guidance for Donors, 2006)
• Since 2006, platform for implementing Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and ODA scaling up– Consolidate knowledge about implementing PPG - approaches– Strengthen donor co-ordination around locally owned poverty reduction
strategies– Widen debate on PPG through local and regional activities and events
The PIA Task Team within 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 2006-2007
• Joined forces with PSIA network (additional members WB, UNDP)
• Guide to PIA will be submitted to DAC and published in June 2007
Challenges that reduce development effectiveness
PIA can contribute to higher development effectiveness
Interventions often planned with little regards to existing strategies and programmes
Helps orient donors’ assistance on country‘s development priorities (alignment)
Every donor has own assessment, reporting and monitoring format thus burdening partner countries
Lowers transaction costs of delivering and managing aid (harmonisation)
Goals and action plan to achieve these goals not jointly elaborated and insufficiently communicated
Assessment of the distributional impact of an intervention often not done
Provides common platform for defining mutual action agenda (mutual accountability and ownership)
Defines flexible and simple performance assessment framework, ensures continuous dialogue and relevant and timely information (managing for results)
PIA’s contribution to the Paris Declaration commitments
Basic properties and level of application
• Can cover most interventions (policy, programmes, projects, NOT budget support)
• Based on existing approaches, e.g. PSIA, impact chain analysis
• Use of existing data and analyses with the option to collect additional data (using both quant. and qual. approaches)
• Relatively simple, flexible approach, providing 5 modules with matrices

MDGs plus
Assess enhancement to capabilities(economic, protective, political,
cultural, human) – gender/environment

Improved understanding of the planned interventions serves several purposes
To summarise, PIA allows to
• identify interventions with high poverty reduction and pro-poor growth impact
• improve design of proposed intervention
• identify existing information quality and information gaps
• identify monitoring needs
Next steps
• Dissemination of lessons learned and continuous learning
• Awareness raising workshops and capacity development among donor agencies and in partner countries
• Up-scaling of the approach
