CAS/CPS Data Country: Zambia CAS/CPS Year: FY13 CAS/CPS Period: FY13–FY16 CLR Period: FY13–FY17 Date of this review: February 4, 2019 2. Ratings CLR Rating IEG Rating Development Outcome: Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory World Bank Group Performance: Fair Fair 3. Executive Summary i. The review of Zambia’s Completion and Learning Review (CLR) of the World Bank Group’s Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) covers the period FY13 –FY17. At the PLR stage, the CPS was extended to FY17 to align the next strategy with the political cycle, with general elections held in 2016. ii. Zambia is a lower-middle-income country with a gross national income (GNI) per capita (Atlas method) of US$1,730 in 2013. However, GNI per capita declined to $1,300 in 2017. Zambia’s economic growth had been driven largely by the extractives sector, which is highly vulnerable to the volatility in copper prices. During 2013–2017, average annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth was 4.1 percent, with growth decelerating in 2015 and 2016 due to falling copper prices, weak harvest, and power outages. A gradual recovery began in 2017. However, with fiscal adjustment having been delayed, vulnerabilities remained. iii. The incidence of poverty fell between 2010 and 2015, but the poverty rate remained high compared to the regional average. Growth has not been inclusive—while real per capita consumption grew by 12.9 percent between 2010 and 2015, it fell by 7.9 percent for the bottom 40 percent over the same period.1 Nevertheless, Zambia’s Human Development Index ranking improved from 150th out of 169 countries in 2010 to 139th out of 185 countries in 2015, with positive development outcomes in health and education. At the same time, some Millennium Development Goal (MDG) health targets were not met. The World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) deteriorated in all dimensions during the CPS period, including scores for voice and accountability, government effectiveness, and control of corruption. iv. The World Bank Group’s Country Partnership Strategy had three focus areas: (a) reducing poverty and vulnerability of the poor; (b) improving competitiveness and infrastructure for growth and employment; and (c) improving governance and strengthening economic management. Cross-cutting elements included regional integration, strengthening institutional capacity, and addressing governance, gender and climate change challenges. The CPS was aligned with the government’s Sixth National Development Plan 2013–2016, which aimed to accelerate 1 See World Bank. 2018.

During the CPS period, total new International Development Association (IDA) commitments reached US$688 million comprising 14 Investment Project Financing (IPF) operations including 4 regional operations. Ten of the 14 operations were approved after the PLR (FY15), of which 7 were approved during FY16–17. New commitments were mainly in infrastructure, human development, and agriculture. Trust Fund (TF) commitments amounted to US$138 million, comprising 15 operations of which 11 were approved after the PLR. TF operations were concentrated in environment, infrastructure, public financial management, and human development and some complemented IDA lending. International Finance Corporation (IFC) made net commitments of US$77 million for long-term loans and equity investments, mainly in the agribusiness and financial sectors. Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) approved seven guarantees, mostly in the agribusiness sector, with total gross exposure of US$173 million. vi. Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) rates the CPS development outcome Moderately Unsatisfactory. Of the seven objectives, five were partially achieved and two were mostly achieved. In Focus Area I, there was some progress in improving access to climate-resilient tools and health services, but limited progress in improving crop and livestock productivity and access to water resources. In Focus Area II, there was good progress in improving access to all-season roads and river crossings in target areas, but lack of progress in improving access to finance for small enterprises. In Focus Area III, there were mixed results in strengthening systems and processes for public-sector performance, but limited progress in improving citizen access to information. While Zambia was Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) compliant in 2017, indicators from the WGI and Open Budget Index suggest that access to information was restricted further during the review period. vii. IEG rates WBG performance Fair. The initial design of the CPS addressed key development challenges and identified key risks to the program. The CPS was selective and aligned with the corporate twin goals. The original CPS results framework provided a clear line of sight from development challenges to CPS objectives, World Bank Group interventions, and CPS outcomes. The World Bank and IFC collaborated through a joint initiative in the Scaling Solar Program and MIGA had an active program in agribusiness. The World Bank Group exhibited flexibility by adjusting the program at the PLR stage to take into account changes in the domestic and external environment. However, the PLR underestimated the political economy and implementation capacity risks and their impact on portfolio performance. Notwithstanding continued weaknesses in implementation capacity and the disruptions following closely-contested elections in 2016, the World Bank scaled up its lending and TF program. Adjustments made at the PLR stage weakened the results framework, which did not capture several lending operations and Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA) products and had other significant shortcomings. viii. During the review period, portfolio performance deteriorated due to a combination of weak implementation capacity and an increased number of lending and TF projects. This is reflected in a higher-than-average percentage of projects and commitments at risk compared to Africa (AFR) and World Bank averages. Zambia’s performance at exit (as measured by project outcomes rated Moderately Satisfactory or better by IEG) was lower than AFR and World Bank averages. In addition, a majority of project development outcomes had high to significant risks of sustainability. Overall, the program was not able to effectively address weaknesses in implementation capacity. No Inspection Panel case was recorded during the CPS implementation period. However, safeguards implementation was affected by weak capacity, constant delays, and staff turnover for both World Bank and the borrower. In particular, safeguards compliance issues were noted for the Zambia Water Resources and Development Project, which has been under temporary suspension since March 2018. During the review period, the Integrity Vice Presidency (INT) received three complaints (two in the transport sector and one in the agriculture sector) but none resulted in an investigation. For Official Use Only CLR Review 3 Independent Evaluation Group ix. The CLRR agrees with the CLR lessons as specified: (a) collaboration and coordination among stakeholders is critical to improving portfolio quality, (b) the number and design of projects should consider implementation capacity of the country and supervision capacity of the World Bank Group, (c) World Bank Group projects should be reflected in, and aligned with, the government program, (d) the World Bank can be effective in strengthening institutions at the local level, and (e) incorporating accountability measures in project designs promotes good governance, transparency and oversight. x. IEG provides the following additional lessons: • The results framework needs to reflect the breadth of the program and ensure alignment of objectives and results indicators with WBG interventions. It is therefore important to adjust the results framework at the PLR stage as needed. In the case of Zambia, more than half of the operations approved after the PLR were not fully captured in the results framework. In addition, the PLR did not adjust the objectives and indicators to consider the cancellation or restructuring of some operations. Many of the indicators did not adequately measure progress in achieving stated objectives. • Addressing capacity issues requires more coordinated and systematic approaches. In the case of Zambia, while several lending operations supported capacity building, the program continued to be constrained by weak capacity, which affected both project implementation and sustainability of outcomes. For example, two road projects—the Road Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project I and II (RRMP I and II)—had capacity building components, but objectives were not achieved in RRMP I, and weak capacity was identified as one of the key risks to development outcomes in RRMP II. Going forward, there may be a need for stronger alignment between implementation capacity and the portfolio by having more realistic project design and more effective support for capacity building, as well as more adequate resources for supervision. 4. Strategic Focus Relevance of the WBG Strategy 1. Congruence with country context and country program. Zambia’s economy lacks diversification with economic growth driven by the extractives industry which is highly vulnerable to the volatility of copper prices. Agricultural productivity has been low, lim iting the sector’s ability to reduce poverty in rural areas. The CPS pillars sought to address the main development challenges in Zambia: low agricultural productivity, infrastructure gaps including poor reliability of services, lack of economic diversification, and weak governance. The CPS focus areas and objectives were aligned with the government’s development priorities as embodied in the Sixth Development Plan 2013– 2016, which aimed to accelerate infrastructure development and economic growth and diversification; promote rural investment and accelerate poverty reduction; and enhance human development. At the PLR stage, the program was adapted to respond to deterioration in the macroeconomic environment over 2015 and 2016, including through cancellation of planned Development Policy Financing (DPF) operations and scaling up ASAs to manage the higher macroeconomic risks. The program remained aligned with the Sixth Development Plan and continued to support the government’s objective of accelerating infrastructure development. However, scaling-up of lending and TF operations did not take into account heightened implementation capacity risks. 2. Relevance of design. The WBG utilized a mix of instruments to support the CPS objectives through greater use of IPFs to address weaknesses in the institutional environment, TFs to complement IDA resources, and ASA to support critical reforms and capacity building. The World Bank also enhanced its participation in regional projects to help Zambia take advantage of expanding regional markets. IFC investments and MIGA guarantees were also utilized to promote private-sector For Official Use Only CLR Review 4 Independent Evaluation Group growth and facilitate foreign direct investment. Nonetheless, the CPS objectives did not sufficiently capture CPS themes and World Bank Group corporate strategies on gender and climate change. Selectivity 3. The original CPS program was selective with respect to the focus areas, objectives, and World Bank Group interventions. The focus areas reflected the main thrusts of the program —poverty reduction, growth and economic diversification, and governance. The focus areas addressed development priorities based on analytical work and were aligned with the government’s program. The objectives represented areas—such as agricultural productivity, investment climate, small and medium enterprise (SME) finance, and governance—where the WBG could build on previous work and exploit synergies among the WBG institutions. After revisions at PLR stage, the CPS remained selective with respect to focus areas and objectives, but less so in terms of World Bank Group interventions. Notwithstanding the capacity constraints, changes following the PLR increased the number of lending and TF projects. About 70 percent of the total number of lDA and TF project approvals during the CPS period occurred during FY15–FY17. Alignment 4. The CPS was aligned with the 2013 corporate twin goals of poverty reduction and shared prosperity. All three focus areas and objectives supported the twin goals, with Focus Area I directly addressing poverty reduction and Focus Areas II and III contributing to shared prosperity. Under Focus Area I, one of the objectives addressed low agricultural productivity, which was identified in the 2018 Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) as one of the main challenges to inclusion. Another objective focused on improving access to health services in high poverty areas. Under Focus Area II, the objective of building and rehabilitating infrastructure included targeting of rural households. Under Focus Area III, the objective of improving public-sector performance included enhancement of service delivery at the local level. 5. Development Outcome Overview of Achievement by Objective 5. Following the IEG and World Bank Group shared approach for country engagement, this review assesses the extent to which the CPS objectives were achieved against the original CPS results matrix and updated at the PLR stage. Focus Area I: Reducing Poverty and the Vulnerability of the Poor 6. Objective 1: Improved crop and animal productivity in selected areas. This objective was supported through the following operations: Irrigation Development and Support Project (FY11); Livestock Development and Animal Health Project (FY12); and a regional project - Agricultural Productivity Program for Southern Africa (FY13). This objective had two indicators: • Reduction in diseases in the livestock project areas (from 1.0 percent in 2012 to 0.5 percent in 2017 for contagious bovine pleuropneumonia [CBPP] in cattle, and from 1.0 percent in 2012 to nil in 2017 for foot and mouth disease [FMD] in cattle). The prevalence indicators for CBPP and FMD were dropped at the 2015 restructuring of the FY12 Livestock Development and Animal Health project. The September 2017 Implementation Status and Results Report (ISR) reported that there had been no outbreak of FMD in cattle as of September 2017, while 11 districts were reported to have been cleared of CBPP. However, the April 2018 ISR noted varying CBPP prevalence levels at the district level in the Western Province which may have indicated continued presence of infection. While evidence of progress under the original indicator is not available, the September 2017 ISR for the Livestock Development and Animal Health Project suggests some progress in reducing diseases in livestock project areas. Partially Achieved. For Official Use Only CLR Review 5 Independent Evaluation Group • Increase in technologies that are being made available to farmers and other end users. The February 2018 ISR for the FY13 Agricultural Productivity Program for Southern Africa project reported that 156 technologies (compared to the target of 25) were made available to farmers and end users as of December 2017. Achieved. 7. The two indicators do not sufficiently measure the achievement of the stated objective. Rather, these are intermediate indicators that contribute to the stated objective of improved crop and animal productivity. On balance, Objective 1 was Partially Achieved. 8. Objective 2: Improved access to resources for strengthening household resilience and health in targeted areas. This objective was supported through several operations: Malaria Booster Project (FY06), Water Resources Development Project (FY13), Strengthening Climate Resilience II Project (FY13), Health Services Improvement Project (FY14), and Health Result-Based Financing Project (FY11). This objective had five indicators: • Increase in direct project beneficiaries from small water resources infrastructure development. The June 2018 ISR for the Water Resources Development Project reported a total of 6,000 direct beneficiaries (compared to the target of 20,000 in 2017) as of January 2018. Partially Achieved. • Increase in vulnerable districts, wards, and communities using improved tools, information, and instruments to respond to climate change and variability. The June 2018 ISR for the Strengthening Climate Resilience II Project reported an increase of 36 percent in the number of vulnerable districts, wards, and communities responding to climate change using improved tools, information, and instruments as of June 2018 (compared to the target of 30 percent by 2017). Achieved. • Increase in the percentage of children under five years of age who slept under an insecticide-treated net last night (from 50 percent in 2010 to 55 percent in 2013). The Implementation Completion and Results Report Review (ICRR) for the Malaria Booster Project and Health Results-Based Financing Project reported an increase to 57 percent in 2013 in the share of under-five children who slept under an insecticide-treated net. Achieved. • Increase in the percentage of women delivering in facilities by a skilled birth attendant in Results-Based Financing eligible districts (from 31 percent in 2010 to 36 percent in 2013). The ICRR for the Malaria Booster and Health Results-Based Financing Project reported the percentage of women delivering in facilities by skilled attendants increased to 72 percent in 2014. Achieved. • Increase in deliveries attended by skilled health providers (from 27 percent in 2014 to 45 percent in 2017). The July 2018 ISR for the Health Services Improvement Project reported an increase in deliveries by skilled health providers to 48 percent as of November 2017 and 52 percent as of May 2018. Achieved. 9. Two indicators had targets for 2013, which represented performance only at the beginning of the CPS period. The lack of timely indicators was a weakness in the results framework. Moreover, some of the outcome data in the CLR was for dates other than the target date. Nonetheless, there was some progress in improving household access to climate change resources and health services, albeit limited progress in access to water resources in targeted areas. On balance, Objective 2 was Mostly Achieved. 10. Performance under Focus Area I was Moderately Unsatisfactory. Objective 1 was partially achieved while Objective 2 was mostly achieved. There was limited progress in improving crop and livestock productivity, some progress in improving access to climate-resilient tools and health services, and limited progress in improving access to water resources. For Official Use Only CLR Review 6 Independent Evaluation Group Focus Area II: Improving Competitiveness and Infrastructure for Growth and Employment 11. Focus Area II had three objectives: (a) improving key aspects of the regulatory environment for business, (b) building and rehabilitating selected infrastructure, and (c) improving access to finance for small enterprises. 12. Objective 3: Improving key aspects of the regulatory environment for business. This objective was supported through the Poverty Reduction Support Credit (PRSC) series (FY11, FY12, and FY13) and the Agribusiness and Trade project (FY17). IFC’s Advisory Service (AS) Investment Climate Program II and AS WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) Implementation Support also contributed to this objective. The objective had three indicators: • Increase in number of achieved reforms per year on ease of doing business (from three in 2011 to six in 2017). The annual Doing Business (DB) reports identified a total of nine reforms achieved during the five-year period FY12–13 (1), FY13–14 (3), FY14–15 (2), FY15–16 (2), and FY16–17 (1), an annual average of less than two compared to the target of six reforms per year. The PRSC supported actions that reduced administrative compliance for business. The IFC Investment Climate Program II resulted in the promulgation of the Business Regulation Act Number 3 of 2014, which established the institutional framework for regulatory reform, including the Business Regulatory Review Agency and regulatory clearance systems. Partially Achieved. • Decrease in the number of days to provide business registration (from three in 2012 to one in 2014). This indicator could not be verified. Not Verified. • Improvement in trade logistics performance as measured by the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) (from two in 2015 to three in 2017). Zambia’s LPI was 2.53 in 2018, compared to 2.46 in 2014. No data was available for 2017. Mostly Achieved. 13. Based on DB indicators, the regulatory environment for business in Zambia deteriorated modestly. There was a marginal decline in Zambia’s distance to frontier (DTF) score for overall ease of doing business from 64.8 in DB 2014 to 64.5 in DB 2018. Zambia’s DTF score for starting a business declined, from 88.6 in DB 2015 to 84.9 in DB 2018. While there were positive reforms, the DB reports also identified six government actions that made doing business more difficult including more procedures and time to start a business. IEG rates Objective 3 as Partially Achieved. 14. Objective 4: Selected infrastructure built and rehabilitated. This objective was supported through several operations: RRMP I (FY04) and RRMP II (FY10); Lusaka Transmission and Distribution Rehabilitation Project (FY13); and the Kafue-Muzuma-Victoria Falls Regional Transmission Line Reinforcement (FY12). The objective had three indicators: • Decrease in the average interruption frequency per year in the project area (from five in 2013 to three in 2017).2 The February 2018 ISR for the FY12 operation reported that the average interruption frequency per year in the project area decreased to 4 (versus the target of 3) as of January 2018. Partially Achieved. • Increase in households with access to all-season road as percentage of total population in targeted five districts (from greater than 5 percent in 2010 to greater than 60 percent in 2016). The target of five districts was reduced to three during project restructuring. The ICRR for the RRMP II reported that access to all-season roads increased to 80 percent of total population in the three targeted districts. On balance, this objective was Mostly Achieved. • Increase in number of people with access to reinstated river crossings (from 120,000 in 2010 to 508,000 in 2016). The ICRR for the FY04 project reported that the number of 2 This refers to the average interruption frequency for the provision of electricity. For Official Use Only CLR Review 7 Independent Evaluation Group people with access to reinstated river crossings increased to 505,000 in 2014.No data was provided for 2016. Mostly Achieved. 15. There was a mismatch between formulation of the stated objective (output) and the indicators (outcome). On balance, IEG rates Objective 4 as Mostly Achieved. 16. Objective 5: Improved access to finance for small enterprises. This objective was supported by IFC investments and the AS project Secured Transactions and Collateral Registry. Several ASA products also supported this objective, including the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) Update (FY17), the Economic Brief on Financial Inclusion (FY16), Financial Sector Advisory TA (FY16), and Regulatory and Supervision Framework TA (FY15). This objective had two indicators: • Improvement in ease of access to loans by enterprises as measured by the World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) (from 2.4 in 2015 to 3.0 in 2017). The WEF GCI for ease of access to loans improved from 2.5 in FY14–15 to 3.1 in FY17–18. Achieved • Increase in number of recommended laws, regulations, amendments, or codes enacted or government policies adopted, and government entities that implement recommended changes. The 2016 targets for this compound indicator were: (a) two laws, regulations, amendments, or codes enacted or adopted and (b) three entities implementing recommended changes. The Parliament passed the Moveable Property (Security Interest) Act in 2016 and the Corporate Insolvency Act in 2018. The Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA) operates the Moveable Property Registry System. Additional information from the region based on the Secured Transactions Project indicates that the targeted number of government entities (Bank of Zambia, Ministry of Commerce, and PACRA) implementing the new regulations was met. Mostly Achieved. 17. While the WEF GCI showed improvements, it is unclear how and to what extent these improvements are relevant to small enterprises which is the focus of the stated objective, and the extent to which World Bank Group interventions contributed to this indicator. Other sources of information including the FSAP Update (FY17) indicate that access to finance for SMEs has worsened in recent years and the 2017 IMF Article IV Consultation Report notes that SMEs’ access to finance remains low. This difference suggests that the results indicator used may not have fully captured developments. On balance, IEG rates Objective 5 as Partially Achieved. 18. With two of the three objectives rated partially achieved, IEG rates Focus Area II as Moderately Unsatisfactory. There was good progress in improving access to all-season roads and river crossings in target areas, but lack of progress in improving access to finance for small enterprises. Focus Area III: Improving Governance and Strengthening Economic Management 19. Focus Area III had two objectives: (a) strengthening systems and processes for public-sector performance and (b) citizen access to information increased. 20. Objective 6: Strengthening systems and processes for public-sector performance. This objective was supported through TF-funded Public Financial Management Reform Program Phase I (FY14). In addition, several ASA products contributed to this objective, including the Education Public Expenditure Review (FY16), Demand Based TA for Public Sector Management (FY16), TA Support for Public Efficiency (FY13), and the Mining Sector Governance Reform (FY15). This objective had three indicators: • Improved coverage of integrated financial management system (IFMIS) (from 28 sites in 2012 to 50 sites in 2017). The February 2018 ISR for the FY14 project reported that the IFMIS had been rolled out to 50 ministries. Achieved. For Official Use Only CLR Review 8 Independent Evaluation Group • Pilot implementation of M&E systems to commence in five sectors spread over six ministries by 2016. Progress in this indicator could not be verified. Not Verified. • By 2017: (i) procurement audits carried out for at least 33 percent of ministries, provinces, and spending agencies (MPSAs) and (ii) capacity and risk assessment carried out in 120 MPSAs and risk mitigation action plans implemented. Progress in these indicators could not be verified. However, this review notes that Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) scores on procurement management improved from D+ in the 2012 assessment to C+ in the 2016 assessment. No assessment was done in 2017. Partially Achieved. 21. On balance, IEG rates Objective 6 Partially Achieved. 22. Objective 7: Citizen access to information increased. This objective was supported through the EITI Post Implementation Support II (FY13) and III (FY16). This objective had one indicator: • By 2017, Zambia maintains EITI-compliant status, including regular publication of mining revenues. On October 25, 2017, the EITI Board concluded that Zambia made meaningful progress overall in implementing the EITI standards, including in improving transparency and accountability in the extractive industries by providing timely and reliable information to the public. The Board recognized satisfactory progress on requirements of the EITI standard on comprehensive disclosure of revenues. Achieved. 23. The indicator for this objective covered only EITI compliance and does not sufficiently measure the broader objective of increasing citizen access to information as stated in the CPS suggesting that the objective was poorly specified. Other sources of information do not confirm that citizen access to information has increased. The World Bank Group WGI shows a decline in Zambia’s ranking from 2012 to 2017 in all dimensions including: (a) voice and accountability (from 44 to 36) and (b) government effectiveness (39 to 29). Zambia’s score of 8 out of 100 in the 2017 Open Budget Index is substantially lower than its score of 29 in 2015, and the global average of 42 in 2017. On balance, this objective was Partially Achieved. 24. Based on the ratings for Objectives 6 and 7, IEG rates Focus Area III as Moderately Unsatisfactory. Overall Assessment and Rating 25. IEG rates the CPS development outcome as Moderately Unsatisfactory. Of the seven objectives, five were rated partially achieved and two were rated mostly achieved. In Focus Area I, there was some progress in improving access to climate-resilient tools and health services, but limited progress in improving crop and livestock productivity and improving access to water resources. In Focus Area II, there was good progress in improving access to all-season roads and river crossings in target areas, but lack of progress in improving access to finance for small enterprises. In Focus Area III, there were mixed results in strengthening systems and processes for public sector performance and limited progress in increasing citizen access to information. While Zambia was EITI compliant in 2017, indicators from the WGI (voice and accountability) and Open Budget Index suggest that access to information was further restricted during the review period.

WBG Performance Lending and Investments 26. At the start of the CPS period, outstanding IDA commitments amounted to US$548 million consisting of 15 operations of which one was DPF and 14 were IPF, including one regional operation and four additional financing. More than half of total commitments went to agriculture (37 percent) and transport (30 percent). During the CPS period, new IDA commitments reached US$688 million comprising 14 IPF operations including 4 regional operations. A total of 10 of the 14 operations were approved after the PLR (in FY15), of which 7 were approved toward the end of the CPS period (FY16–FY17). None of the post PLR operations were reflected in the results framework. During the CPS period, TF commitments amounted to US$138 million, comprising 15 operations of which 11 were approved after the PLR. 27. Zambia’s portfolio performance at exit (measured by outcomes rated Moderately Satisfactory or better by IEG) was marginally better than AFR and World Bank averages in terms of number of operations but lower when weighted by the value of commitments. Of the 10 operations that exited during the CPS period and were validated by IEG, (70 percent) performed slightly better than AFR (66 percent) but slightly worse than the World Bank (73 percent) averages. Weighted by value, 53 percent were rated Moderately Satisfactory or better, compared to AFR (73 percent) and World Bank (84 percent) averages. All three projects rated Moderately Unsatisfactory were in infrastructure (water and transport), of which two were in the transport sector. The share of projects with moderate to low risk to development outcome rating was 30 percent (20 percent when weighted by value), lower than the World Bank averages but comparable with AFR. Seven of the ten completed projects had significant to high risk to development outcome rating, which indicates that a majority of development outcomes have significant to high risks of not being sustained. Key risks identified included financial sustainability and weaknesses in institutional capacity, pointing to the need for more attention to these aspects in future project design. 28. Zambia’s active portfolio deteriorated during the CPS period in terms of share of projects and commitments at risk. Zambia’s projects at risk (33 percent) and commitments at risk (36 percent) were higher than AFR (26 percent projects at risk and 33 percent commitments at risk) and World Bank (24 percent projects at risk and 23 percent commitments at risk) percentages. Weaknesses in implementation capacity were exacerbated by political events following closely contested elections in 2016, which adversely affected government attention to program implementation. Nonetheless, the World Bank scaled up its IDA lending and TF and grant commitments during the latter part of the CPS period, which put further pressure on implementation capacity and resulted in deterioration of For Official Use Only CLR Review 10 Independent Evaluation Group portfolio performance. Many World Bank operations had quality at entry issues, including complex designs and poor project implementation preparedness. 29. During the CPS period, IFC made a net commitment of US$77.0 million for its core portfolio of long-term loans and equity investments. The largest net commitment was IFC’s US$25.2 million loan to a financial institution, followed by a US$20 million equity investment in an agribusiness. During the CPS period, IFC had a small exposure through a short-term trade finance guarantee under the Global Trade Finance Program (GTFP) with an average outstanding exposure of less than US$1 million. 30. IFC issued a ZMK 150 million bond (approximately US$28.4 million) to deepen Zambia’s local currency denominated bond market in September 2013 making it the first non-resident issuer in the Zambian market. IEG’s Zambia Country Program Evaluation3 for FY04–FY13 acknowledged that this bond issue has been well received by the domestic banking sector because it added depth to the capital market, which had been dominated by government bond issues. 31. During the review period, IEG validated two Expanded Project Supervision Reports (XPSRs) of IFC investment projects through EvNotes. IEG assigned development outcome ratings of Mostly Successful for one project and Mostly Unsuccessful for another project. IFC was not able to achieve its intended development objective for its project with its financial sector client. While some development targets, including demonstration effects, were achieved for another project with the agribusiness client, the choice of a dollar-denominated loan was not deemed appropriate for the IFC client, given the significant devaluation the currency experienced during the repayment period. 32. During the FY13–FY17 CPS period, MIGA was active in Zambia with a total of seven guarantees projects with approved total gross exposure of US$173 million. Of the seven projects, six were in agribusiness with increasing agricultural productivity and promoting diversification as the main development objectives. One project was in hydropower, which was expected to contribute to the development of clean and low-cost energy. Analytic and Advisory Activities and Services 33. During the CPS period, the World Bank delivered 37 ASA products of which 10 were economic and sector work (ESW) and 17 were technical assistance (TA). At the PLR stage, ASA was scaled up with about 85 percent of the products completed during FY15–FY17. Overall, the ESW products were relevant, covering important development issues. They were generally of good quality and provided both strategic and specific recommendations, as in the case of the FSAP Update in FY17. Most of the ESW were published (for example, Linking Women and Agribusiness in Zambia), were subject to peer review (for example, the Public Expenditure Review for Education), and disseminated widely (for example, the Economic Briefs and the FSAP Update). The TA products generally were utilized mainly to support areas such as financial sector development and debt management where there was no lending operation. Based on the TA reports, 36 percent informed policy/strategy and 27 percent increased client capacity. 34. During the review period, IFC approved 11 new AS projects amounting to US$13.3 million. IFC carried out projects in the financial sector, investment climate reforms, and for the Scaling Solar initiative. Scaling Solar is a ‘one-stop shop’ program for governments to rapidly mobilize privately funded grid connected solar projects at competitive tariffs to help address the large unmet electricity demand in Sub-Saharan Africa. Zambia was the first country in which IFC implemented this program. The program has achieved initial success. By bringing in competition, this program helped achieve a low tariff of ZMK 6 per kWh in Zambia. 35. IEG validated three Project Completion Reports (PCRs) of AS projects during the review period and assigned Mostly Successful Development Effectiveness ratings for two projects and Mostly Unsuccessful ratings for one project. By responding to the need of the client, IFC was able to 3 Independent Evaluation Group. 2015. “Zambia Country Program Evaluation FY04-FY13: An Independent Evaluation.” World Bank Group, Washington, DC. For Official Use Only CLR Review 11 Independent Evaluation Group achieve its target for investment climate reforms. However, one project failed to achieve many of its development objectives due to poor design and the lack of commitment from the client. Results Framework 36. The original CPS results framework provided a clear line of sight from the country development objectives and development challenges to the CPS objectives, WBG interventions, and CPS outcomes. However, adjustments at the PLR stage weakened the results framework. 37. First, additional lending operations were not well aligned with the CPS objectives and indicators. More than half of the operations approved after the PLR did not contribute to the CPS objectives, while the active operations during the CPS period were not fully captured in the results framework or had implementation challenges and could not fully contribute to the achievement of the CPS objectives and overall development outcomes. IFC and MIGA contributions were also not well reflected in the results framework. 38. Second, there was some misalignment between CPS objectives and indicators. For example, Objective 6 had a broad objective (citizen access to information increased) but had only one indicator with limited focus (EITI compliance), which does not sufficiently measure the broad objective. In addition, Objective 1 had an indicator of crop productivity (yield increase for major irrigated crops) and was replaced at the PLR stage with an intermediate indicator (number of technologies available to farmers) that does not sufficiently measure crop productivity. 39. Third, some CPS objectives and outcome indicators were not adjusted when the supporting project interventions were either cancelled or restructured, which resulted in the dropping or lowering the bar for the indicators. For example, Objective 5 (access to finance for SMEs) had two supporting lending operations that were dropped; however, the objective was maintained but the indicators were adjusted which did not measure the objective or had attribution issues. In addition, Objective 1 had prevalence rate indicators which were dropped at project restructuring and were no longer monitored, and therefore affected the results of the CPS. Notwithstanding the lowering of the bar in some of the indicators at the PLR stage, many of the indicators did not show much progress during implementation due to overall portfolio implementation challenges. 40. Fourth, several lending operations could have been integrated in the results framework for some of the objectives. For example, the results from a number of electricity projects could have been included under Objective 4. In addition, the ASA work on demand-side governance could have been reflected as an indicator for Objective 7, which narrowly focused on EITI compliance. 41. Fifth, some targets had an end date of 2013, which is the beginning of the CPS period and not the end of the CPS period (2017) which in effect means that they do not reflect achievements for the entire CPS period. Partnerships and Development Partner Coordination 42. The World Bank is an active participant in several development partner coordination mechanisms, including the Sector Advisory Groups (SAGs) and the recently established Technical Working Groups and Cluster Advisory Groups to assist in the implementation of the Seventh National Development Plan. The World Bank played a leading role in the SAGs for water and energy. The World Bank also worked closely with the IMF on macro issues and provided complementary support in the area of debt management and had worked jointly in debt sustainability analysis and the FSAP Update. In addition to these coordination mechanisms, the World Bank collaborated with other development partners, such as in the case of the Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project which was cofinanced by the African Development Bank, the European Development Fund, and the Swedish Trust Fund. Safeguards and Fiduciary Issues 43. During the CPS period, safeguards policies were triggered in seven operations in the water, health, agriculture, transport, and energy sectors that were closed and validated by IEG. Safeguards implementation was affected by weak capacity, constant delays, and staff turnovers both from the For Official Use Only CLR Review 12 Independent Evaluation Group World Bank and from the borrower. The project Implementation Completion and Results Reports (ICRs) and ICRRs generally report compliance with the triggered policy instruments, with successful resolutions of all the issues, although information on the project impacts and mitigations activities is not always explicit. No Inspection Panel case was recorded during the CPS implementation period. 44. Many safeguards compliance issues have been noted under the ongoing Category B Zambia Water Resources Development Project (P114949), leading to a temporary suspension of disbursement since March 2018. The implementation challenges were directly associated with the construction and management of 12 dams, including weak technical capacity, poor impact assessment, inadequate health and safety measures, inappropriate use of the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), absence of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), and lack of a well-functioning grievance redress system for people potentially affected by the project. Staffing, contracting, and working conditions in construction sites were also areas of concern that were brought to the borrower’s attention by the World Bank. 45. The client and the World Bank agreed on the following actions: project restructuring and a thorough environmental and social review, along with staffing and capacity building. These actions were to be completed by the supervision mission of July 31, 2018. However, the project file has no available information on whether these agreed actions have been undertaken. 46. During the FY13–FY17 period, INT received three complaints on the portfolio: two in the transport sector and one in the agriculture sector. None resulted in an investigation. Ownership and Flexibility 47. To ensure that the CPS had strong ownership and reflected client priorities, the World Bank worked with a government-appointed technical committee comprising representatives from the Ministry of Finance and the line ministries. In preparing the CPS, the World Bank also had consultations with other stakeholders, including civil society organizations and the private sector. In addition, a survey of stakeholders conducted in 2012 provided inputs to the design of the CPS. One of the principles of engagement defined in the CPS was to build in flexibility. The CPS exhibited flexibility, with adjustments made during the latter half of the CPS period to consider changes in the policy and external environment. The adjustments at PLR stage envisaged that new lending would be provided in areas where the policy environment was appropriate, ESW and TF projects would be scaled up to help manage the higher macroeconomic risks, and TA would be used in areas critical to poverty reduction (for example, financial inclusion) and competitiveness (for example, ICT sector gap analysis) and where there was no lending. WBG Internal Cooperation 48. The World Bank and IFC had a joint initiative in the Scaling Solar Program, with the World Bank focusing on institutional issues and IFC supporting private sector investment. As part of the program, the World Bank and IFC recently approved a joint Scaling Solar Project (FY17) and its Additional Financing (FY18). MIGA had an active program in agribusiness, which promoted introduction of more efficient processes and technology to increase livestock and farm productivity. The PLR envisaged strengthened collaboration in agriculture and public-private partnership with IFC and MIGA; however, the CLR did not provide evidence that this has occurred. Risk Identification and Mitigation 49. The CPS identified three key risks (political, institutional, and exogenous shocks) and rated overall risks to the program as substantial. Substantial risks to the program included political and governance, macroeconomic, institutional capacity for implementation and sustainability, and exogenous risks. The mitigation measures included increased support for governance reform and capacity building and use of ESW to ensure appropriate policies. In retrospect, the mitigation measures were not sufficient to compensate for the capacity weaknesses. Many of these risks materialized during implementation, notably the adverse economic impact of the decline in copper prices, the weakening of incentives for major policy reforms, and the high frequency of administrative turnover which affected portfolio performance. The World Bank Group response was mixed. On the For Official Use Only CLR Review 13 Independent Evaluation Group positive side, the World Bank strengthened its nonlending activities to help the government manage macroeconomic risks by providing analytical support and engaging in dialogue on policy reforms. The World Bank also dropped planned DPF operations that were not supported by appropriate policies. However, the World Bank ramped up its IDA and TF project activities during the latter part of the CPS period despite heightened implementation risk. Overall Assessment and Rating 50. IEG rates WBG performance as Fair. Design 51. The initial design of the CPS addressed key development challenges and identified key risks to the program. The CPS was selective and aligned with the corporate twin goals. The original CPS results framework provided a clear line of sight from development challenges to CPS objectives, World Bank Group interventions, and CPS outcomes. The World Bank and IFC collaborated through a joint initiative in the Scaling Solar Program and MIGA had an active program in the agribusiness. The World Bank Group exhibited flexibility by adjusting the program at the PLR stage to consider the changes in the policy and external environment. However, the PLR underestimated the political economy and implementation capacity risks and their impact on portfolio performance. Notwithstanding continued weaknesses in implementation capacity and the disruptions following closely contested elections in 2016, the World Bank scaled up its lending and TF program. The adjustments at the PLR stage also weakened the results framework, which did not capture several lending operations and ASA products and had significant shortcomings. Implementation 52. During the review period, portfolio performance deteriorated due a mismatch between weak implementation capacity and increased number of lending and TF projects. This is reflected in a higher-than-average percentage of projects and commitments at risk compared to AFR and World Bank averages. Zambia’s performance at exit (as measured by project outcomes rated Moderately Satisfactory or better by IEG) was lower than AFR and World Bank averages. In addition, the majority of project development outcomes have high to significant risks to sustainability. Overall, the program was not able to effectively address the weaknesses in implementation capacity. No Inspection Panel case was recorded during the CPS implementation period. However, safeguards implementation was affected by weak capacity, constant delays, and staff turnovers both from the World Bank and from the borrower. 7. Assessment of CLR Completion Report 53. The CLR was well structured and provided a good assessment of CPS design and implementation performance. The CLR was appropriately critical of both program and World Bank Group performance and identified the areas of strengths as well as weaknesses in program design and implementation. There were several areas that could have been strengthened. First, the CLR could have discussed how to reflect the breadth of the program in the results framework while limiting the number of objectives and indicators. Second, the CLR could have deepened its discussion of how the World Bank Group institutions coordinated their efforts in several areas, including business climate, financial sector, and infrastructure beyond the Scaling Solar Program. Third, the CLR could have discussed the effectiveness of partnerships and donor coordination in improving the quality of institutions and addressing systemic implementation capacity constraints. Finally, the CLR could have provided an assessment of the contribution and impact of the ASA program. 8. Findings and Lessons 54. The CLRR agrees with the CLR lessons: (a) collaboration and coordination among stakeholders is critical to improving portfolio quality, (b) the number and design of projects should consider implementation capacity of the country and supervision capacity of the World Bank Group, (c) World Bank Group projects should be reflected in and aligned with the government program, (d) For Official Use Only CLR Review 14 Independent Evaluation Group the World Bank can be effective in strengthening institutions at the local level, and (e) incorporating accountability measures in project design promotes good governance, transparency and oversight. 55. IEG provides the following additional lessons: • The results framework would need to reflect the breadth of the program and ensure alignment of objectives and result indicators with WBG interventions. It is important to adjust the results framework at PLR stage as needed. In the case of Zambia, more than half of the operations approved after the PLR were not fully captured in the results framework. In addition, the PLR did not adjust the objectives and indicators to consider the cancellation or restructuring of some operations. Many of the indicators did not provide adequate measurement of progress in achieving the stated objectives. • Addressing capacity issues requires more coordinated and systematic approaches. In the case of Zambia, while several lending operations supported capacity building, the program continues to be constrained by weak capacity, which affected both project implementation and sustainability of outcomes. For example, two road projects —the RRMP I and II—had capacity building components, but the objective was not achieved in RRMP I, and weak capacity was identified as one of the key risks to development outcomes in RRMP II. Going forward, there is need for stronger alignment between implementation capacity and the portfolio by having more realistic project design and more effective support for capacity building, as well as more adequate resources for supervision.
