2. Major events defining the Post 2015
framework
April 2015 – IMF-WBG Spring Meetings in Washington
July 2015 – Third Financing for Development Conference in
Addis Ababa
Sept 2015 – SDG Summit & United Nations General
Assembly in New York
Oct 2015 – WBG-IMF Annual Meetings in Lima
Dec 2015 – Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change in Paris
3. Lessons from the MDGs
The odds of achieving the MDGs are improved with growth,
good policies, and capable institutions.
More and better data is needed for monitoring, policy, learning
and accountability.
Finance needs to be substantial, flexible, and efficient.
Effective partnerships can facilitate implementation
Move policy and resources together – “banking with ideas”
“Acceleration” should start from day one: build ownership and
commitment early on; peer monitoring is useful; high level
coordination, e.g. through the CEB helps.
4. The WBG is Ready to Enhance its Partnerships
through Finance and Knowledge
• The WBG is well positioned to implement the SDGs.
• It has just undergone a major transformation that puts in place a
structure that is fully aligned with the implementation
challenges/opportunities of the SDGs.
• On the finance side, the IBRD’s financial “margins for maneuver”
have been overhauled, substantial increases in IDA’s funding,
reformed and aligned trust funds. With the One WBG approach, there
is strong capacity to leverage different sources of finance - we are
getting more effective at doing that with the private sector in particular.
• The newly established Global Practices largely reflect the issue areas
covered by the SDGs.
• More importantly, the emphasis on cross-Practice, i.e. inter-sectoral
linkages, is at the core of the SDG agenda.

8. Financing the SDGs: Context
2002 Monterrey Consensus on the MDGs
Global development cooperation to mobilize and
increase effective use of financial resources to
achieve the Millennium Development Goals
Post-2015 SDGs financing framework will build on:
1) Lessons learned from Monterrey and the MDG
effort
2) Changes in the global economic landscape:
For example:
• Growth of emerging economies
• Increasing role of the private sector
• Climate change

12. Critical Components of Financing
for Development
1. National public
resources:
Improving domestic resource
mobilization
2. Global public resources: Better and smarter aid/ODA
3. National private
resources:
Unlocking private investment for
development
4. Global private
resources:
Attracting FDI, remittances,
philanthropic finance for development
objectives
13. National public sources:
domestic resource mobilization
OPPORTUNITIES
1)Tax administration
• basic structures (IT support, self-assessment, ethical,
competent staff)
• clear strategies to address non-compliance and key
compliance risks
• performance indicators; strong internal audit/investigation
functions; processes that limit rent-seeking
• Tools have been developed by the UN, MDBs to help
with tax administration reform.
2)Broaden VAT base, improve design,
tackle incentive, evasion issues
3)Clear laws and regulations, protection of
the poorest, regional cooperation
CHALLENGES
1) Non-compliance; "hard-to-tax"
sectors; weak revenue
administration and governance;
challenges of multinational and
state-owned enterprises
2) Flawed design and implementation
of taxes (VAT, corporate income
tax)
3) Extractive industries revenues -
complexity of administration
Domestic revenues are improving in developing countries

15. Financing Solutions
Financing for development solutions provide:
(1) Additionality - more money for development needs:
Find and multiply new resources.
(2) Efficiency - structure the money itself better: Having
more money helps, but using it efficiently is critical.
(3) Effectiveness - more development impact for the
money: Financing structures can ensure that money is
used effectively.
Which financing solutions will help us
best leverage available grant funds?

17. GPG Financing
• True global public goods – e.g. knowledge, security, global
commons – should be handled internationally, cooperatively
• GPGs need global cooperation and financial resources: assess
existing institutions and global funds and their potential for
coordination, collaboration, scale up.
• Exercise caution in establishing new “vertical” funds to address
GPGs, since responses to these challenges often require domestic,
systemic and multi-sectoral approaches that respond to specific
national realities.
• Big development challenges mix public-private good and
regional/global issues. Continue to get better at coordinated
public-private support; integrate multilateral approaches with
national strategies and processes, States in the driver’s seat.
18. WBG and the MDBs:
Finance for Development Partners
1) As financial institutions, the MDBs
can finance, innovate, partner,
leverage, mobilize, provide advice
to help achieve the post-2015 SDGs.
2) The MDBs are working together
to serve clients better through joint analytical work, joint and co-
financed projects, collaboration on capacity building, strengthening
country systems.
3) Reorganizations, reforms, new ideas being put in place to
increase effectiveness and efficiency
4) Client-driven focus on financial and development solutions
integrated across sectors and actors

11 Case Studies on
Financing SDGs :
Joint MDB position paper on FFD, April 2015
Third International Conference on Financing for Development,
Addis Ababa, July 2015
21. Context : Looking Back
MDGs triggered greater coherence to capacity
building:
• process provided an impetus to improve national statistical systems to
monitor progress
• As a result, new partnerships & financial instruments created, financial
& technical assistance increased
• Some significant achievements:
• Since 1999, WBG measure of country stat capacity increased from 54 to 68
(2013)
• MDG monitoring improved: 118 countries now monitoring 16 of 22
indicators (was 4 countries in 2003).
• Global Population census initiative led to 98% of population to be counted.
22. Building Statistical Capacity
Strong commitment to work with MDBs and UN to achieve a
leap forward in the quality and availability of information
used for decision making.
• Improvements in the number, quality and reach of
traditional statistical systems
• Supporting the use of data for action and accountability.
See Attachments 3 for more on:
• MoU on Statistical Capacity Building
• Action Plan for Statistical Capacity Building
23. Context : More recently
Revised WBG strategy and SDG process re-energized the
data agenda
• WBG twin goals require better data for monitoring corporate priorities
• 29 countries had no poverty data point for a ten year interval (between 2002 and
2011)
• Shared prosperity are data available for only 86 countries (for circa 2006-11)
• SDGs recognize more and better data needed for the development agenda
through 2030
• High-level Panel call for a “Data Revolution” (May 2013)
• Independent Advisory Group on the Data Revolution created to inform the SDG
process (November 2014)
New technologies are leading to an exponential increase in
the volume and types of data available
• 90% of data produced in last two years, but unequal data production and use
between rich and developing countries.
• Most of this data produced/captured by the private sector (Cell phone
records, social networks, internet searches, etc.
24. WBG Signals Greater Support
Commitment to improving data is strong, e.g.:
• President’s commitment (April 2014)
• Key theme of WBG support for post 2015 (Sept 2014).
• Development Committee Communique (Oct 2014)
• Participation in the UN expert group on data revolution
(Oct 2014)
• WBG Data Council established (Oct 2014)
In addition:
• MDBs and UN are also stepping up – Signed MoU on
Cooperation on Statistical Activities (April 2013)
25. WBG actions
Identify and fill key data gaps for twin goals and diagnostics
Work smarter:
• WBG to coordinate and mobilize financing and technical assistance
with others
• MOU in place with the UN, IMF, and other MDBs
Fund smarter:
• Develop models that crowds in domestic resources & focuses on
results
• Incentivize private sector partnership to find innovative ways to
produce and use these new data sources
• Initiatives to be ready for UN Financing for Development Conference (July 2015)
• Work with donors to collaborate on funding for gaps already
identified
• Household surveys, economic statistics, civil registrations
26. Building Statistical Capacity: An Agenda for
Action
Accelerates progress on open data, NSDS, and “thorny problems” (e.g.,
rebasing GDP, data validation) at the national level.
Supports innovative approaches to data collection and collaborations
between public and private sectors.
Develops new partnerships and financing facility.
Influences SDGs to ensure clear metrics, and FFD Conference to
advocate adequate investment.
Convenes a World Forum on Development Data to secure a “data
compact” with business, NGOs, and governments, and an annual event
to track commitments.
28. Issues to Consider for Implementation
For effective implementation one needs:
• Effective institutions
• Effective policies
• Financing
• Look beyond sector silos
Issues to consider:
• Longer term strategies of practices and regions?
• Monitoring of progress and policies and institutions, e.g. GMR
and corporate scorecard, CPIA?
• Country analytics, e.g. Systematic Country Diagnostic and
Partnership Strategy to help set priorities and help with
sequencing of actions?
• Financing, e.g., new instruments, IDA?

Hinweis der Redaktion
They rise or fall together
Without finance: no clear understanding of means of implementation
Without the SDGs: no guidance on what is important as seen by the global community
Without successful climate summit – we might have in the end have ended poverty and improved other dimensions of peoples well being but probably no planet to enjoy it on. Well not as beautiful as he is today. Hence, no sustainable poverty reduction.
Focus today is on financing for (sustainable) development:
More precisely what the WBG and actually its multilateral partners are doing to assist with the preparation of the third conference on FfSD
Mention Doha, Rio + 20
Flows are trending higher, with strong growth in private flows and remittances
However, private flows tend to be pro-cyclical and concentrated in a few developing economies.
Most low income countries still lack access to international capital markets
restricted by regulation.

DRM is an “additionality” effort – being more efficient about tax administration effectively creates money for governments.
Challenges:
1) Non-compliance; "hard-to-tax" sectors; weak revenue administration and governance; challenges of multinational and state-owned enterprises
2) Flawed design and implementation of taxes (VAT, corporate income tax)
3) Extractive industries revenues - complexity of administration
Â
Opportunities
1) Tax administration
- basic structures (IT support, self-assessment, ethical, competent staff)
- clear strategies to address non-compliance and key compliance risks
- performance indicators; strong internal audit/investigation functions; processes that limit rent-seeking
Tools have been developed by the UN, MDBs to help with tax administration reform.

3) Clear laws and regulations, protection of the poorest, regional cooperation
Private sector engagement is part additionality (a “leverage” effort, crowding in additional funds) and also creates opportunities for most efficient and effective funding.
1) Investment climate
2) Principles for engaging with the private sector
3) Cross-border flows, bankable projects
4) Local capital markets, currency finance
5) Financial inclusion
6) Project effectiveness
At the global level, there are examples of additional, efficient, effective financing solutions – this group is also referred to as “innovative financing”. Many have been established as separate initiatives or global partnerships.
But innovative financing happens every time a financial instrument is adapted to a new use, and there are myriad examples of specific finance instruments for specific development problems. All of these – partnerships established to tackle specific goals, instruments and approaches that solve specific problems -- should be catalogued, with experience and lessons learned, and this information made widely available for much broader use.
