The Global Lessons Forum highlights diverse experiences in implementing Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) in East Asia, showcasing strategies to enhance poverty alleviation. Key success factors include broad-based participation, strong focus on poverty, results orientation, better aid transparency, and coherent sectoral strategies. Emphasis is placed on real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making to support effective policies. The forum gathers insights from over 50 countries on adapting national plans to local contexts, ensuring that poverty reduction methods are inclusive, participatory, and sustainable.

Global Lessons PRS Implementation Forum on National Plans As Poverty Reduction Strategies in East Asia Linda Van Gelder April 5, 2006
50 countries worldwide Less than half in Africa Average implementation, 2 ½ years Diverse experiences PRSP Snapshot • Paper • Process
Success Factors Country-side • Broad based participation/transparency • Strong poverty focus • Results orientation Donor-side • Better aid
Transparency and Broad Participation • How: rules of the game, communications • Who: line ministries, local governments, parliaments, other groups: specialization • What: opening policy space • When: formulation/implementation
Strong Poverty Focus • Poverty analysis • Analysis of growth and the productive sectors • how the poor benefit from growth (e.g., jobs) • coherent sectoral strategies • Use of distributional analysis (PSIA) of key policy measures to inform policy design, choices, and sequencing
ResultsOrientation • Indicators – the good, the bad, the difficult • Monitoring systems: • Improvements in data coverage, quality, and access (more needed) • Real challenges • Building monitoring systems that coordinate the collection of data and its analysis. • Creating demand for evidence based decision making (using information in policy making).
Better Aid • Harmonized and aligned • In tune with country timetables • Predictable • Builds rather than undermines local capacity • Supports rather than competes with domestic accountability mechanisms • More aid
No one size fits all But plenty of scope to learn from others
