1. Presentation – July 16, 2009 WBI Capacity Development in Fragile States Questions for Consultation July 16, 2009

2. Client learning – to strengthen the capacity of policymakers & other stakeholders to formulate & implement policies & monitor progress Focus is on client capacity building – as opposed to donor-driven/external technical assistance, purchasing capacity, or external intervention (e.g., peace keeping) WBI’s Mandate & Focus

3. WBI Strategy / Key shifts • Focus on core strategic priorities • Move from “retail” to “wholesale” • Practitioner exchange & South-South learning • Global platform for scanning, sharing & incubating innovations • Leadership capacity & multistakeholder coalition building for results

4. Seven key priorities Fragile & post-conflict states Governance (EITI++, procurement, anticorruption, leadership & multistakeholder) Growth and Crisis Climate Change Public-Private Partnerships Urban Health Systems

5. Four business lines structured learning Flagship courses for state & non-state actors, developed with world class partners, wholesaled through regional/country partners knowledge exchange Just-in-time practitioner-practitioner exchange, peer learning & benchmarking Development marketplace, innovation fairs, innovation radar, incubating & scaling up innovations innovation sharing leadership capacity building Intensive capacity building for leadership teams & multistakeholder coalitions

6. WBI’s Emerging Results-Focused Program Content & partnership development Flagship curriculum with framework, cases, modules Network of global & regional partners Results framework & indicators Peer-to-peer exchange & benchmarking Global/regional peer learning forums GDLN, web, S-S exchange Practitioner networks Innovation Platform DM, Innovation fairs Innovation radar Incubation & Scaling up Leadership & Coalition building for Tangible results

7. Key capacity building challenges in Fragile States 1 Everything is a priority, existing capacity is very weak and there is only a limited window to show results !  Rapid Results & action planning workshops to prioritize and achieve tangible results (e.g., PPP for service delivery) 2 Very limited leadership capacity among state and non-state actors to drive against vested interests.  Leadership development program to empower & inspire agents of change (cabinets, key line ministries, local government, CSOs, women and youth leaders) to achieve results 3 Breakdown of governance institutions – lack of legitimacy of centralized, top-down governance  Capacity building for local governments & CSOs for accountable service delivery at the local level

8. Key capacity building challenges in Fragile States 4 Endemic corruption & patronage in resource use (extractive industries, procurement)  Multistakeholder capacity building around resource use 5 Weak social cohesion – conflict & distrust based on narrow, fragmented identification with clan, ethnicity, religion  Integrating cohesion & coalition building around common cause in capacity building programs Lack of basic skills & professional capacity all around  Wholesaling basic skill building in priority areas through partners & building professionalization tracks 6

9. Leadership & Consensus Building Program Rapid results & action planning Human capital: leadership develop at individual level Social capital: multistakeholder coalition building (govt, CSOs, parliamentarians) Initial focus on leadership teams & multistakeholder coalitions in: resource use (extractive industries, procurement), local governance, MOF A Branded Product Line for Fragile States?

10. WBI’s emerging approach to address capacity needs of Fragile States atthe country level Offer a menu of services including: Rapid Results & action planning workshops Leadership development program for agents of change Multistakeholder coalition building around resource use (extractive industries, procurement) Capacity building programs for Ministries of Finance and Planning, focused on budget management, procurement, and M&E Capacity building for accountable local governance PPPs for service delivery Organize structured learning and South-South knowledge exchange to benefit fragile states, using GDLN Or: Offer a branded product line on “Leadership & Consensus Building program focused initially on resource use, local governance, MOF” • Burundi, DRC, Liberia, Afghanistan, Haiti, Cambodia and Yemen • * Possibility of additional countries based on consultations

11. WBI’s emerging approach to address capacity needs of Fragile States at the global level • Team up with world class partners to design program • Develop network of regional/country partner institutions to scale up capacity development • Deliver a high-level discussion on capacity development in fragile states in Africa at the Annual Meetings 2009 in Istanbul, in collaboration with the Africa Region. • Develop network of GDLN centers in fragile states for South-South exchange & wholesaling capacity building • Deliver a global learning event, possibly in late spring of 2010, to convene leaders from post-conflict and fragile states, leading experts and other stakeholders to share experiences in capacity development and chart next steps forward

12. What are key challenges in capacity development in Fragile States? What entry points and approaches to capacity development show promise in fragile states? How can WBI contribute to addressing the capacity development challenge in fragile states? How should the approach vary for different types of fragile states? Key Questions

13. Discussion

14. Overview • WBI Renewal Strategy -Key Shifts • How Fragile States fit in WBI? • Capacity Building in Fragile States

15. WBI’s Emerging Results Focused Program Strategy, content & partnership development Flagship learning programs developed with global & regional partners Innovation sharing & benchmarking Global multi-stakeholder event Ongoing peer learning through GDLN and South –South exchanges Peer to peer knowledge exchange Intensive support to country leadership teams – coalition building & change management Leadership development program Feedback to global stakeholders, to inspire others tangible results

16. What are the entry points in Fragile States? • In view of limited capacities, it is important to strategically select a few feasible entry points; which include: • governance of resources use, including extractive industries, budget management, procurement • delivery of basic services • leadership

17. What are the key considerations in designing capacity development programs? • Focus leadership capacity building to achieve rapid results; • Choose strategic entry points and forging multi stakeholder coalition building around these; • Rebuild professional associations; • Build local institutions for sustainable capacity building; and • Integrate crucial aspects of cohesion and inclusion in leadership capacity and coalition building at different levels of different groups

18. What Role can WBI play in Fragile States? • Be a catalyst in innovation • Work with and build local institutions • Play a connector role by brining various players • Skills building at the whole sale level through partnership institutions • Empower agents of change e.g. youth, women • Coalition building around shared interest areas (e.g. EITI ++, procurement) WBI as a Connector
