FINANCING, CONFLICTS, CLIMATE CHANGE, DATA ARE
THE MOST FREQUENTLY IDENTIFIED CHALLENGES
11. CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF
FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT
1. National public resources:
Improving domestic resource
mobilization (DRM)
2. Global public resources: Better and smarter aid
3. National and global
private resources:
Unlocking private investment for
development, Attracting FDI,
Remittances, Philanthropic finance
• The World Economic Forum estimated that annual demand for infrastructure finance
alone is $3.7 trillion. With annual investment currently around $2.7 trillion, this leaves a
gap of $1 trillion per year.
• According to the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, incorporating climate
considerations raises the financing gap even further, to $2-3 trillion per year.
12. 11
1. DOMESTIC RESOURCES ARE THE LARGEST
RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT
• A country’s ability to mobilize domestic
resources (DRM) and spend them
effectively – at the national, sub-
national and municipal levels –lies at
the crux of financing for development.
• Strengthening the capacity of local
governments, including to raise their
own revenues, to manage expenditures
and service delivery, and to borrow and
manage debt prudently is critical;
• Developing inter-government fiscal
transfer arrangements that consider
the needs of sub-national governments
and equalize fiscal capacity and
expenditure is also critical

As development challenges at the global and national levels increase, so too should the resource envelope
available to meet these needs….ODA flows are simply not enough.

3. MOBILIZING PRIVATE RESOURCES FOR
DEVELOPMENT
As development challenges at the global and national levels increase, so too should
the resource envelope available to meet these needs….
• Aggregate assets held by ten largest MDBs: $1.3 trillion
• Making the “Billions to Trillions” pledge a reality requires expanding the pool of
development capital beyond the multilateral development banks (MDBs) and official
agencies.
• Private funds:
o $2 trillion of assets held by the world’s ten largest pension funds
o $4.5 trillion of assets held by the world’s ten largest insurance companies
o $5 trillion in assets held by the world’s ten largest sovereign wealth funds
o $100 trillion global bond market
• The global community looks to the World Bank Group to lead on the “Billions to
Trillions” initiative - a call to greatly increase the financial capacity that can be
deployed to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.

THE FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
The need to mobilize new resources is further emphasized by the Financing for Development (FFD)
agenda, as part of the joint UN-MDB “Billions to Trillions (B2T)” effort.
• The IMF and MDBs (AfDB, AsDB, EBRD, EIB, IaDB and
WBG) presented a joint vision, “Billions to Trillions
(B2T)”, at the Third international Conference on
Financing for Development held in Addis Ababa on
July 13-16, 2015.
• Emphasized the need to use the billions of dollars
generated in ODA to unleash trillions in private, public,
international and domestic finance to fund the 2030
Development Agenda.
• The MDBs reaffirmed their role as the main engines of
development finance— “we not only provide direct
financial assistance, but also mobilize, catalyze, and
crowd-in public and private sources of development
finance”.

IDA: WORLD BANK GROUP FUND FOR THE
POOREST
• IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world’s
77 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa, and is the single
largest source of donor funds for basic social services in these
countries.
• IDA lends money on concessional terms.
• This means that IDA credits have a zero or very low interest charge
and repayments are stretched over 25 to 40 years, including a 5- to
10-year grace period.
• IDA also provides grants to countries at risk of debt distress.

IDA MARKET ACCESS AND LEVERAGING
Recent innovations in WBG instruments will further enhance the capacity of the institution to mobilize
funds for development…
IDA18 is leveraging its equity by accessing the market to scale-up lending
operations to IDA countries
• Through the leveraged IDA model, the WBG aims to provide financing most suited to
client needs in a financially efficient and prudent manner, by blending donor
contributions with funds raised through debt markets.
• We aim to dramatically increase the efficiency of donor contributions: for every dollar
raised from donors, we plan to generate 3 dollars of commitment authority for IDA18
and beyond, relative to 2 dollars in IDA17.

IDA’S PRIVATE SECTOR WINDOW
Objective: Unlock significant opportunities to mobilize private capital, and help
scale up the growth of a sustainable and responsible private sector in IDA
countries.
• Set aside US$2.5 billion ($2bn for IFC and $500mn for MIGA)
• Aims to leverage the strengths and expertise of each of these entities of
the WBG to deliver higher development impact in IDA (and especially FCS
countries)
• Builds on the scope and impact of IFC and MIGA’s opportunity-driven
business models and networks of private sector clients, partners and
reinsurers
• Potential instruments are designed to target significant barriers to private
sector development.
24. 23
IFC: PRIVATE SECTOR ARM OF THE WORLD
BANK GROUP
• IFC was founded on the idea that the private sector is
essential to development. It reaches millions of people
in more than 100 countries in support of the World
Bank Group's two goals: ending extreme poverty and
boosting shared prosperity.
• Clients view IFC as a provider and mobilizer of private
capital, knowledge, and long-term partnerships that can
help address critical constraints in areas such as finance,
infrastructure, employee skills, and the regulatory
environment.

• “IFC 3.0”: A change in business model: from leveraging markets to
creating markets
• Going upstream and working to create bankable projects
• Clear asks of Bank: specific areas where de-risking needed
• New mobilization mechanisms, broader institutional and other investor
networks
• Institutional enablers
• Aligned incentives: To focus on enabling private solutions to public issues
• Budget allocation: To support Bank de-risking activities
• Engagement mechanisms: To process sourcing, analytics, ex ante
development impact assessment, implementation
• New capabilities: Financial and technical

Key Features
1
▪ Institutional reform – stronger independent regulator, gas aggregation company, single buyer
▪ Asset privatization – 5 Generation Companies and 10 Distribution Companies have been privatized
▪ Increased private sector participation – 14 IPPs vetted by FGN and nominated for WBG PRG
program; Transmission Company of Nigeria under private Management Contract (Manitoba Hydro)
▪ Gas sector Master Plan –pricing policy for the domestic market to incentivize private investments &
development of a gas infrastructure blueprint
▪ Cost-reflective electricity retail tariffs – ensures sustainability of entire value chain (gas supply,
generation, transmission and distribution)
Very Ambitious
Objectives
2 ▪ Gas – enhance gas processing and transmission infrastructure key for gas-to-power IPPs
▪ Generation – target installed capacity of 40,000 MW by 2020 vs. c.4,000 MW at present -> 10x
increase in power supply
▪ Transmission and Distribution – strengthening of transmission backbone and distribution networks
▪ Access – long term target of 75% electrification by 2025
Good momentum
though challenges
remain
3
▪ Sustained FGN momentum & a round of privatization completed
▪ Clear FGN financial commitment (US$ 9 billion pledged including proceeds from asset privatizations)
▪ Market perception of irreversibility of reforms; however, periodic hiccups (e.g. tariff re-set for
privatized distribution companies post hand-over delayed now for several months; interim stop-gap
measures in place).
▪ Greater institutional leadership (NERC, single buyer) though track record yet to be established
▪ Private sector interest increasing, but mostly local vs. established developers
▪ Transmission constraints and gas supply & infrastructure remain major challenges to sector
sustainability
Nigeria launched a Roadmap for Power Sector Reform in 2010:

Our objectives for this presentation today are (read or summarize objectives).
Estimates for the developing world indicate that the targets for extreme poverty reduction (MDG 1.a), access to safe drinking water (MDG 7.c) and improving the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers (MDG 7.d) have been reached ahead of the 2015 deadline (figure 1). The targets on gender equality in primary and secondary education (MDG 3.a) and the incidence of malaria (MDG 6.c) can be met by 2015. Note that gender disparity in primary education was met in 2010.
On the other hand, progress on the remaining MDGs has been lagging, especially for education and health-related MDGs. Specifically, the primary school completion rate reached 90 percent by 2012, but progress is off track to meet the target of a universal completion rate by 2015. Progress toward MDGs related to infant, child, maternal mortality (MDGs 4a and 5a), and access to basic sanitation (MDG 7c), is lagging, and these goals are unlikely to be achieved.
The heterogeneity of outcomes at the country level translates into stark differences in progress towards the MDGs at the regional level. At one end of the spectrum, the East Asia and Pacific region is estimated to have met all of the MDGs, while at the other end Sub-Saharan Africa is off target on most of its MDGs. The regions still lagging, in particular South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, started from positions that required the most improvement, however, and they have made significant progress in absolute terms, particularly on the health MDGs that the world as a whole is struggling to meet. The relative nature by which many of the MDGs are defined tends to mask significant accomplishments in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa
We learned some things during the last days before the deadline of the MDGs.
As you know, we achieved only a partial success.
New directions have been set for the global community in the Joint Letter signed by the Heads of all MDBs.
Going forward, we believe that there are three critical pillars to achieving the SDGs, each based on papers and other commitments that we have made in recent years. These are: Data & evidence; financing; and implementation.
To scale up its impact , the WB will need to invest in new approaches and instruments to leverage external resources. The Bank has a key role to play in the mobilization of private capital for development because money alone is not the answer: to be optimally utilized, private capital flows to our member countries must come with the right governance, environmental and social infrastructure.
As financial institutions, the MDBs and the IMF multiply the capital, subscriptions and contributions invested with us to provide a range of financial support and products to our partner countries. On average, when our shareholders invest 1 dollar once, MDBs are able to commit 2-5 dollars in new financing every year.
Even more important than the direct financial assistance provided by MDBs is how this assistance is used to catalyze, mobilize and crowd in both public and private sources of funds for development.
The multiplier effect of MDB financing on domestic public resource mobilization is significant but difficult to measure.
With respect to direct private sector investment, for every 1 dollar invested directly by MDBs in private sector operations, some 2-5 dollars are mobilized in additional private investment. This adds an estimated $40 to $100 billion to development flows every year.
Catalyzing and channeling additional and new types of private flows to support development efforts will be a specific focus of the MDBs going forward. MDBs have long acted as a bridge between the public and private sectors, able to convene a variety of actors around important development issues – and so are well placed to deliver on this challenge
Notes:
GCRP - Global Crisis Response Platform, which will provide grants and loans to help low and middle-income countries that so generously host large numbers of refugees.
The IMF and WBG’s Addis Tax Initiative aims to deepen dialogue on international tax issues and develop diagnostic tools to help countries evaluate and strengthen their policies.
Launched in 2015 to address countries’ demand and a global need, the initiative builds on the Bank’s current tax programs in over 48 developing countries, which include reforms to reduce
inequality and address obsolete tax incentives regimes. In addition, the initiative addresses cross-country issues such as base erosion and profit sharing (BEPS), transfer pricing, the design of
efficient tax systems for internationally traded goods and services, and improving tax transparency.
