Competitive Industries and Innovation Program 3

Part 1. FY13-18 Strategy

I. Meeting the Competitiveness Challenge

1. Expanding sustainable sources of income is essential to ending extreme poverty and boosting shared

prosperity. At its heart, the challenge for developing countries is to rapidly create more and better

jobs. Job creation contributes to improved productivity and living standards. It also promotes social

cohesion and political stability. Yet, the task appears daunting.

2. According to the World Bank’s 2013 World Development Report, no fewer than 600 million new jobs

are needed over the next 15 years just to keep pace with the rapid growth of the world’s working-age

population. In Africa and South Asia alone, an average of 1 million jobs per month will need to be

created in the next decade. Countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America and the

Caribbean face similar challenges. The urgency around jobs has been fueled by the slower-than-

expected recovery from the global economic crisis.

3. Policymakers around the world agree that economic growth is a necessary condition for job creation.

They also recognize that macroeconomic and investment climate reforms are a sine qua non of

growth. However, both theory and practice suggest that such reforms do not by themselves lead to

increased investment and employment. More often than not, market and governance failures—

characterized by infrastructure bottlenecks, lack of access to finance and technology, administrative

barriers to entry, and skills gaps—persist within and across specific industries. They in turn forestall

real sector investment and employment growth.

4. Notwithstanding these hurdles, a growing number of developed and developing countries have shown

that progress can be made. They have created jobs by focusing on competitiveness—the ability of

firms to generate new investments and to increase market share in goods and services through

improved productivity. Contemporary competitiveness strategies have gained traction by focusing on

specific industries. They target policies and public investments, catalyze private investments, and

foster innovation systems with a view to growing those industries and therefore, jobs.

5. Effective strategies match the ambition of industry level efforts to country capacities and political

economy realities.1 Key elements include meaningful sector or industry diagnostics;

2 inclusive

dialogue between public and private sectors; strategic prioritization of public investment; sequencing

of reforms across sectors;3 and learning and accountability during implementation.

4 Unlike

traditional industrial policy, more recent efforts rely on open processes to demonstrate results,

manage fiscal costs, and limit risks of capture.5 Success is revealed in the incubation of new firms,

virtuous cycles in the performance of firms, and spillovers to the larger economy.6

Vision and Purpose

6. The World Bank and other development partners such as the European Union (EU), the African,

Caribbean and Pacific Group of States Secretariat (ACP), and the Governments of Austria and

Switzerland recognize the potential of competitive industries and innovation approaches. This multi-

donor partnership, the Competitive Industries and Innovation Program (CIIP), seeks to provide

valuable support to high potential country initiatives, and to expand the global knowledge frontier on

“how to” effectively design and implement competitiveness strategies as part of a new and emerging

growth paradigm.

7. CIIP’s vision is for developing countries to boost shared prosperity and eradicate extreme poverty by

creating 100 million quality jobs by 2030. To realize this vision, the Program helps enhance country

growth and employment prospects by supporting public policies and investments that promote

competitiveness and innovation within and across industries. CIIP achieves impact by mobilizing

global expertise, applying cutting-edge knowledge, and catalyzing investments in support of

transformational projects and frontier knowledge initiatives.

Launch and Operational Roll-Out

8. CIIP was formally launched through establishment of multi-donor and single donor trust funds over

the November 2012-July 2013 period. Within its first year, CIIP moved quickly to approve 12 high

potential country operations that are currently under implementation. These early movers were

selected on a competitive and transparent basis, consistent with CIIP’s Operational Procedures—

Coordination with European Commission and Other Partners.7 In parallel, an ambitious knowledge

agenda is gaining momentum as a result of CIIP’s flagship October 2013 conference, a number of

publications, and training events. The operational and knowledge priorities underpinning CIIP’s

rapid roll-out are reflected in this Strategy and Business Plan (Annex 1). They indicate high demand

for CIIP on the part country clients and their development partners.

Strategy and Business Planning Process

9. CIIP’s strategy development and business planning process was launched in earnest at the 1st Steering

Committee Meeting in Brussels in September 2013. What followed were a series of formal and

informal consultations with donor partners, country clients, leading thinkers (including members of

the CIIP “brain trust”), and World Bank operational staff and senior management. In addition, the

CIIP team sought early feedback from Steering Committee members during a December 2013 visit to

Brussels, Berne, and Vienna. The final Strategy and FY14 Interim Business Plan has been reviewed

by World Bank management prior to submission to the CIIP partners for review. Their endorsement

of the plan is sought at the 2nd

Steering Committee Meeting in Vienna on February 19, 2013.

10. This document provides a shared vision and approach to achieving the main objectives set out in the

two trust fund agreements and the Administrative Agreement. The accompanying Interim Business

Plan explains how the strategy is being implemented over the course of CIIP’s first year. Going

forward, the FY15 Annual Business Plan for CIIP will be progressively aligned with the Bank’s own

planning cycle—as required by the Bank’s trust fund policies—to enhance oversight and

are periodically updated, in consultation with the partners, to reflect the evolving needs of the program and good practice.

transparency.8 The FY15 plan will be submitted for review and approval over the July-September

2014 period, and will include a retrospective on the previous year’s achievements including the

management of resources, other aspects of program implementation, and operational results (based on

indicators identified in the CIIP results framework).

II. Operational Strategy

Emerging Competitive Industries Approaches

11. In recent years, a number of countries have experimented with various implementation modalities to

correct market and governance failures within and across industries: for instance, economic zones,

growth poles, value chain development, city-level competitiveness strategies, and innovation systems.

Each of these modalities integrates and sequences basic elements of private sector development:

regulatory and business environment reforms, public investment in basic and industrial infrastructure

as well as skills development, institutional strengthening of public agencies and cluster institutions,

and catalytic mechanisms to enhance access to finance for private firms.

12. At the heart of these efforts is a new growth paradigm that seeks to motivate collective action by

public and private actors at the industry level, and to forge linkages to the larger domestic economy

through cross-sectoral and spatially-targeted efforts. Their innovative aspects lie in the ability to

bundle and deliver support to industries in a cost-effective manner; to coordinate macro, mezzo, and

micro-level reforms; and to convene public and private sector actors. In the process, such

interventions promise economies of scope and scale, as well as magnified impact. Increased private

sector investment, greater entry of new firms, higher productivity in select industries will result in

positive spillovers to the broader economy and significant sustainable job growth.9

13. At the same time, such approaches can be complex and challenging to implement. The associated

risks can be managed through programmatic design, prioritization of activities (for example, through

sector sequencing), use of innovative fiscal and financial instruments (for example, challenge and

matching grants, risk management instruments, supplier development programs); and reliance on

third party monitoring and short feedback loops. In addition, such interventions require considerably

more resources during their design and implementation, a heavy emphasis on private and public

sector capacity building, and a keen awareness of political economy dynamics.

How CIIP Adds Value

14. CIIP’s added value to country and global efforts to boost shared prosperity and eradicate extreme poverty

is three-fold. First and foremost, it provides countries with integrated solutions for the design and

implementation of industry-level competitiveness initiatives in high potential sectors. These solutions in

turn motivate investment, enhance firm level productivity, enable value chain integration and cluster

growth, and create jobs. Second, it pushes the knowledge frontier on “what works” in competitiveness

and innovation by sharing lessons in real time from its active country engagements and by motivating

cutting edge operational research across its global network of academic, policy, and industry actors.

Third, CIIP raises the awareness of practitioners on contemporary industrial policy across countries.

15. To this end, CIIP initiatives are designed with the following characteristics:

Transformational Impact: CIIP-financed country operations focus on sectoral and spatial entry

points with high potential for transformational job growth based on industry prioritization

scenarios. Similarly, CIIP knowledge activities aim to impact the dialogue among global thought

leaders and regional actors through cutting edge operational research and high profile events.

Cross-Sectoral Design: Industry-level constraints as well as their remedies are inherently cross-

sectoral. For instance, a cluster of firms may be more acutely constrained by poor access to

electricity and transport infrastructure relative to their access to finance and skilled personnel.

CIIP country operations tackle these binding constraints through well-sequenced and coordinated

public and private actions. The resulting economies of scope and scale enhance the likelihood of

impact on firm-level competitiveness. Over time, cross-sectoral efforts can be strengthened with

advancements in knowledge on the design of coordination mechanisms such as delivery units and

subnational capital grants.

Efficiency and Timeliness: When they open, windows of opportunity to foster competitive

industries must be seized. CIIP financing enhances the rapid response capability of the World

Bank Group and its development partners across a range of countries. It also provides the critical

mass of support—for instance, in the form of technical assistance or just-in-time analytics—

needed to manage the risks typically associated with cross-sectoral operations. Through its

multiple country engagements, CIIP aims to capture, disseminate, and apply knowledge in real-

time of ‘what works’ within and across industries.

Complementarity and Jointness: In keeping with CIIP’s role as a new and emerging

partnership, country operations are developed jointly with partners. CIIP resources and expertise

are leveraged through existing lending or analytical activities supported in the context of World

Bank Group Country Partnership Frameworks. Activities are developed jointly with—and often

co-financed by—CIIP partners as well as private sector actors at the country level. The global

knowledge agenda also fully leverages expertise across CIIP’s network of experts and

practitioners, the World Bank Group and the other partners’ staff. Joint approaches are intended

to limit duplication and redundancy, and also to enhance the quality of knowledge and operations.

Sustainable: It is important that CIIP projects are not only transformational but also

sustainable—that is, their stream of benefits continue to accrue beyond the life of a particular

operation. To promote institutional, social, and environmental sustainability, CIIP projects

follow best practice safeguards policies and procedures, including those governing World Bank

Group operations. For similar reasons, CIIP supports programmatic—rather than piecemeal—

knowledge efforts that add value across the country, industry, and regional levels.

Results Framework

16. CIIP’s theory of change holds that the bundling and delivery of support for basic elements of private

sector development (see para 11) in an industry context can help accelerate impact. As Chart 1

illustrates, these integrative solutions help to transform financial, institutional, and knowledge inputs

into an enabling environment for industry growth. As industries become more competitive and

innovative, they attract private investment, spur productivity gains, and generate jobs and social

spillovers. In this way, CIIP operations help boost shared prosperity and eradicate extreme poverty.

17. The above-mentioned results chain is supported by a more detailed results framework (Annex 2).

The results framework ensures that CIIP is achieving its overarching objectives by tracking four tiers

of indicators. Tier 1 (impact) indicators measure CIIP’s triple bottom line of investment, jobs, and

industry growth, and also track social spillovers. These impacts derive from improvements in the

quality of policies, the performance of public and private institutions, and access to basic services and

finance: these are tracked by Tier 2 (outcome) indicators. Outcomes are obtained in part from Tier 3

(output) indicators, which track policies, services, institutional capacities, and financial and hard

assets that are produced by CIIP’s menu of integrative solutions (for example, economic zones,

growth poles, value chains, and competitive cities). These solutions and associated levels of financial

and capacity building are tracked using Tier 4 (input) indicators. To the extent possible, these

indicators are standardized across CIIP-financed projects.

18. In keeping with CIIP’s theory of change, the following impact indicators are used to assess progress

towards the achievement of its high level objectives:

Indicator 1 – Gross number of jobs (disaggregated by gender and age cohort)

Indicator 2 – US$ value of private investment leveraged (of which, domestic share)

Indicator 3 – Net number of new firms (of which, share headed by women)

Indicator 4 – Number of people with access to improved services

19. These data will be discussed in annual reports and other key documents. It is important to

acknowledge the myriad attribution questions associated with CIIP’s cross-sectoral and policy-based

interventions. Therefore, in its reporting on results, CIIP emphasizes its contribution to impact

through its key inputs and relevant outputs (tracked by Tier 3 and 4 indicators). Where feasible,

country examples inform a narrative of different country trajectories for enhancing competitiveness

and creating jobs. Program reporting draws on the project-level efforts to track relevant Tiers 1-4

indicators based on CIIP’s tailored response to country constraints.

Part 2. Interim FY14 Business Plan

1. Since its first proposals were reviewed in March 2013, CIIP has rapidly grown a portfolio of high

potential country operations and a rich global knowledge agenda. By the 1st Steering Committee

Meeting in September 2013, the Program had institutionalized most elements of a robust

implementation framework – its machinery for delivering on its operational strategy. This interim

FY14 Business Plan explains how CIIP works, its program commitments and early deliverables, and the

priorities that guide its efforts over the remainder of FY14.

I. Implementation Framework—How It Works

2. To deliver on its operational strategy, CIIP relies on a robust implementation framework, described

below. The key elements of this framework include: CIIP’s multi-window funding structure, its

resource allocation framework, staffing and support, monitoring and evaluation, as well as strategic

communications and partnerships.

Funding Structure

3. CIIP funding is structured around two World Bank-executed trust funds. The Multi-Donor Trust

Fund (MDTF: TF071975), supported by the governments of Austria and Switzerland as well as the

EU, was established on November 15, 2012. The Single-Donor Trust Fund (SDTF: TF072037),

financed through the EU European Development Fund (EDF) and hence with the specific geographic

focus on the African, Caribbean, and Pacific states, was established on July 18, 2013. Taken

together, both funds allow CIIP to finance operations across most geographic regions as well as a

wide array of global knowledge activities. As Trustee and Administrator for both the funds, the

World Bank is responsible for program development, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation.

The Bank also is responsible for secretariat functions that support CIIP as a unique partnership.

4. While the above-mentioned fund structure is discreet for accounting purposes, CIIP resources are

managed seamlessly across the two trust funds in order to ensure predictable, transparent, and efficient

financing of both country and global knowledge priorities. To this end, CIIP uses a set of financing

windows under the trustee level parent funds for the MDTF and SDTFs respectively: (i) a Country

Operations Window for high potential country operations, (ii) a Knowledge Management Window to

support cutting-edge analytics as well as dissemination and networking activities; and (iii) a Program

Management Window that support secretariat functions.10

5. In keeping with good practice, funds’ flows through these windows and associated child grants are

aligned with the pay-in cycle for donor contributions at the trustee level. As of January 30, 2014, 70

percent of MDTF commitments and 50 percent of SDTF commitments were paid into the trustee fund,

and 96 percent of paid-in funds were committed. Nearly US$15 million in pending tranche

contributions from the EU & Switzerland will be needed over FY15-16 to allow sufficient time for

commitment and execution by the FY18 program completion date.

10 Child trust funds under each window are established to finance CIIP projects approved by the Steering Committee. Similar funds

have been established to fund “support services” comprising portfolio-wide actions on M&E, strategic communications, training and

learning, and project development TA (Annex 7c). These funds also support sensitization and training of clients from countries at

early stages of engagement on competitiveness issues (Part 2, para 8).

Competitive Industries and Innovation Program 10

Resource Allocation Framework

6. The CIIP allocation framework prioritizes the use of scarce donor resources (i) at the program/trustee

level, between operational and knowledge priorities; (ii) at the window level, between countries and

between knowledge themes; and (iii) at the project level, between individual operational and

knowledge proposals. This framework, described below, aims to ensure that CIIP funds are used

efficiently and effectively.

7. Program-Level: CIIP’s overall resource envelope is split between country operations and global

knowledge initiatives. Since transformational country initiatives are intended to drive program

results, CIIP aims to allocate 75 percent of its funds (excluding program management costs) to its

Country Operations Window. The remaining 25 percent are assigned to the Knowledge Management

Window to finance global and regional initiatives.11

8. Window-Level: Resources for country operations are allocated using a multi-track engagement system

based on country readiness (Annex 3). Readiness is evidenced by leadership interest, track-record on

competitiveness issues, institutional capacity, and level of organization of the private sector.

Countries with limited exposure to competitiveness issues are best served by Track 1 (which

supports awareness-raising and training financing under the Knowledge Window) or Track 2

(which finances preliminary scoping missions and dialogue under the Country Operations

Window). Track 1-2 activities by definition involve affirmative efforts to foster future new client

countries, for example, in some African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries. A provisional

allocation for affirmative efforts under Tracks 1 and 2 over the program life are made under the

Knowledge Management and Country Operations Windows respectively.

Remaining resources under the Country Operations Window are eligible, on a demand-driven

basis, for Track 3 (substantial stakeholder engagement, intensive market analytics, and pilot

interventions) and Track 4 (comprehensive efforts to support design and implementation of high

potential, industry level interventions). Track 3 and 4 countries are those with deep leadership

commitment and broad base of support, mature competitiveness and innovation strategies, and

bankable interventions.

The bulk of funds under the Knowledge Management Window support relevant research on

competitiveness and innovation. To help identify activities that would push the knowledge

frontier, CIIP relies on a tripartite governance structure comprising Bank and donor operational

teams,12

the World Bank’s Competitive Industries “brain trust” of scholars, and where necessary,

industry leaders. While half these resources help identify lessons on “nuts and bolts”

implementation issues, the other half is devoted to applied research that advances the state of

theory and empirical research on competitiveness. These themes, for instance, the effectiveness

of industrial policy instruments and the determinants of growth at the industry and cluster level,

are identified in consultation with members of brain trust and industry leaders.

9. Project-Level. Both country and knowledge priorities are organized into projects and selected on a

rolling basis in accordance with project approval and coordination processes illustrated in Annex 4,

consistent with the Operational Procedures. Selection criteria include inter alia alignment with CIIP

objectives and industry level approaches; consistency with standard fiduciary and operational

11 The current breakdown between Country and Knowledge Windows is 72 and 28 percent respectively. 12 Brain trust members are Dani Rodrik (Institute of Advanced Studies, Princeton), Ricardo Haussman (Harvard University),

Charles Sabel (Columbia University), Mushtaq Khan (University of London), Francis Fukuyama (Stanford University), and Alan

Gelb (Center for Global Development, Washington DC).

requirements (including Paris Declaration Principles on Aid Effectiveness); potential for

transformational impact (for instance, investment generation and job creation); and coordination with

donors. Approvals follow a series of consultations with private and public sector stakeholders,

internal reviews within the World Bank, and a formal peer review by the CIIP Joint Steering

Committee. These rigorous project review processes are intended to ensure selectivity, quality-at-

entry, relevance of design, and likely impact. Once approved, proposed interventions are financed

through child trust funds.13

10. Ultimately, resource allocations are contingent on performance. Once CIIP proposals are approved, a

child trust fund is created, a disbursement timeline and annual grant tranching schedule is established

based on planned activities. Tranching is then based on fund utilization and activity completion, as

monitored in the World Bank’s Grant Reporting and Monitoring (GRM) system. In the event of non-

performance, tranches may be withheld until course corrections are made or CIIP projects are

restructured. In some cases, resources may be re-pooled and reallocated within the Country

Operations or Knowledge Management Windows.

Staffing and Support

11. CIIP’s rapid launch and its ongoing success depend on a robust support structure and high quality

staff. A small self-standing secretariat ensures coherence across the portfolio, alignment with partners’

priorities, as well as lean and quality management. It is responsible for program strategy and

management, financial management, knowledge and learning, monitoring and evaluation, strategic

communications, and risk management. In CIIP’s first year of implementation, the secretariat has

responded flexibly to CIIP’s dynamic and evolving needs—for instance, program launch, development

of this strategy and business plan, project development and review, donor engagement, and support for

high profile knowledge activities. In addition to experienced secretariat staff, the CIIP team now

includes 5 additional global experts that actively support Bank project teams in country dialogue,

analytics, as well as operational design and implementation (Annex 5).

12. The CIIP team is embedded within the World Bank Group’s recently established Trade and

Competitiveness (T&C) Global Practice, which places competitiveness issues at the forefront of country

dialogue on private sector development. CIIP aims to fully utilize these Bank Group institutional

resources to further its goals. For instance, it works through 54 competitive industries staff affiliates and

73 secondary affiliates currently supporting World Bank operations around the world. It also draws on

the knowledge sharing, training, and e-learning capacities of T&C and other Global Practices to expand

its client base and enrich its country dialogue. CIIP is further deepening its collaboration with the

World Bank’s Development Economic Group on research relating to competitiveness and innovation.

13 Child trust funds under CIIP’s Country Operations Window are linked to—and coded under—either World Bank Investment

Lending (IBRD/IDA, SF, RE, IF) or Non-Lending Technical Assistance (NL-TA) product-lines. Child trust funds under the

Knowledge Management Window are coded as Economic & Sector Work (ESW), Research Services (RF), Impact Evaluation (IE)

or External Training (TE). Product-line codes determine the types of quality review process for TF inputs and outputs. CIIP’s

Steering Committee will be appropriately consulted during these processes.

Monitoring and Evaluation

13. CIIP’s monitoring and evaluation (M&E) objectives are three-fold: (i) to foster results-orientation in

both country operations and knowledge activities; (ii) to promote accountability to country

stakeholders and development partners; and (iii) to encourage learning in real-time. Discussed below

are the design and implementation of project and program M&E, as well as their intended uses:

Project M&E for CIIP operations build on the mainstream of development practice as well as

existing World Bank Group results measurement systems. As such, these operations contain

project-level results frameworks that delineate causal links, from inputs to outcomes. They

identify standardized and customized indicators with baselines and targets, as well as the M&E

instruments and resources needed to measure and verify them over the project life. Given the

cross-sectoral nature of competitiveness operations, project level M&E will need to rely on and

strengthen country M&E systems. These include traditional public sector evaluation systems as

well as demand-side measures—for instance, third party monitoring, public-private dialogue

mechanisms, and firm-level surveys—that give voice to private sector and local stakeholders.

These mechanisms promote feedback loops and motivate mid-course corrections. Additionally,

for discrete components of CIIP operations such as SME matching grant schemes or city-level

capital grants, impact evaluation methods should help to identify good practice.

Program M&E aims to assess the CIIP’s overall efficiency and effectiveness across country

operations and global knowledge activities. Drawing on the CIIP results framework (Part 1, para

16-17), the secretariat regularly aggregates project-level data on inputs, outputs, and outcomes.

Efficiency data on program-wide processes and portfolio quality are also collected. Periodic

program evaluations in turn rely on both quantitative and qualitative field based assessments to

test causal links, to assess relevance of program objectives and design, and to review achievement

of discrete objectives. From time to time, CIIP undertakes reviews of emerging operational

topics, for instance, the sustainability of economic zones, or the efficacy of matching grants.

Where appropriate, reviews rely on meta-evaluations of project-level impact evaluations.

Reporting

14. CIIP ensures timely submission and disclosure of financial and operational reports at the project and

program levels. At the project level, Bank operational teams provide regular updates through the

GRM cycle on completion of activities and utilization of trust funds. In parallel, the Bank’s

Implementation Status Reports provide detailed, semi-annual published reports on the physical and

financial performance of lending operations to which CIIP projects are linked. CIIP aims to fully

leverage these institution-wide Bank Group processes to support its own reporting and portfolio

review objectives (Box 1). A newly launched CIIP website gives partners the ability to directly track

project and program-level progress and results (Box 2).

Box 1: Portfolio Review and Annual Report Preparation Process

Between June and July each year, World Bank task team leaders are required to report on the

implementation of child trust funds through the GRM system. They are also required to complete the

annual Letter of Representation (LOR) exercise to confirm compliance with the Bank’s fiduciary

obligations in the expensing of the trust fund. GRM and related data consolidated in the World Bank’s

annual trust fund report, and LORs are consolidated in annual single audit report to donors. The CIIP

secretariat will conduct an annual portfolio review using GRM reports, and synthesizes them into an

Annual Report & Business Plan that covers progress through June of each year. Problem projects are

addressed in the report and when necessary, recommendations are made to adjust the size and schedule

of tranches. The report is presented to the Steering Committee over July-September each year.

Communications and Partnerships

15. Effective communication among CIIP’s partners and its broad range of public and private

stakeholders is critical to program success. Using a wide range of corporate tools and channels, CIIP

ensures the visibility of both individual contributing partners and the partnership as a whole. It also

fosters its global network of practitioners and experts, and promotes operational learning. Described

below, these three pillars of CIIP communication are supported by a wide range of tools and activities

listed in Annex 6:

16. As part of its visibility efforts, CIIP has developed an official logo (in the header above) that identifies

the contributing partners. It is prominently displayed on official print and online products, marketing

and press information, knowledge products and formal publications, visual, on-line and multimedia

materials. Common visibility rules, branding, and communications standards developed for CIIP are

systematically employed for local outreach and communications efforts in client countries. Templates

for promotional, knowledge, and outreach materials are shared with World Bank Group operational

teams and are posted on the CIIP website for easy access (Box 2). Active participation of partner

representatives is sought at global knowledge and country project events. Strategic communications

across the Bank Group, development community, and networks of competitiveness experts aim to

further raise CIIP’s global profile.

Box 2: CIIP Partnership Website

The CIIP partnership website provides detailed information on CIIP country operations and knowledge

initiatives. It aspires to become a comprehensive and interactive online resource on industry focused

efforts in private sector development. The website aims to serve multiple purposes. Most immediately,

it provides key materials that are relevant to the smooth function of the Steering Committee.

Contributing partners are given access to confidential information on operations and knowledge

products in real-time through a password-protected space. The space allows partners to deliberate and

comment on project design and implementation, or on various knowledge products. They can also

monitor progress to date. In addition, the website supports knowledge exchange across networks of

practitioners and thought leaders on cutting edge research, good practice or innovative approaches, and

results from competitiveness strategies around the world.

17. A second communications pillar is to foster a global network of World Bank and donor partner staff

working on competitiveness issues, public and private sector actors, as well as academics and

policymakers around the world. CIIP organizes periodic high profile knowledge and training events

(including an annual conference) and actively disseminates knowledge products to this ever

expanding network. It also employs a range of channels and interactive tools (for example, a self-

standing website as well as social, print, and broadcast media) to support networking.

Competitive Industries and Innovation Program 14

18. Thirdly, CIIP aims to promote operational learning through active knowledge sharing among project

teams, partners, and country stakeholders. Emerging lessons and good practice notes are

disseminated by CIIP to teams working on competitive industries projects in a wide array of

countries. Seminars, presentations, and “clinics” provide opportunities for project teams to share

innovations and seek feedback on project design and implementation approaches (for instance, on

economic zones, growth poles, and matching grant schemes). In addition, embedded in most CIIP

operations are public-private dialogue mechanisms and harmonized donor processes all of which in

principle enable partnerships and open dialogue on competitiveness issues. Such in-country

processes can be enriched by timely disclosure and publication of evaluation results on industry level

efforts. These efforts in turn can encourage feedback loops and virtuous cycles.

19. To be effective in its communications efforts, CIIP will strategically focus its outreach efforts on

three key audiences—the CIIP brain trust, country policy-makers, and industry leaders. It is

envisaged that brain trust members would help keep competitiveness and jobs at the forefront of the

global development agenda, while galvanizing global networks of practice. Their efforts would be

complemented by awareness-raising during high profile events across the development community;

extensive use of CIIP’s new web platform (www.theciip.org); and leveraging of the Bank Group’s

extensive network of country offices around the world. Given the importance of visibility issues,

CIIP communications staff will also coordinate closely with counterparts in donor agencies.

II. Program Implementation

FY13-14 Commitments and Disbursements

20. Rapid activity and portfolio growth reflect considerable demand for CIIP initiatives. A total of

US$20.34 million— or 96 percent of paid-in funds—have been committed to 16 approved projects and

portfolio-wide support services. Seven of these grants, amounting to US$6.91 million in commitments,

are helping to mobilize significant investment from official sources, including US$617.6 million in

World Bank lending.14

21. Among major geographic regions, Africa has the largest share of current commitments with 4 projects

totaling US$4.235 million. Eastern Europe and Central Asia follows with 5 projects totaling US$3.559

million. Latin America and the Caribbean as well as East Asia and the Pacific each have one project—

one in Haiti (US$1.8 million) and the other in Vietnam (US$1.0 million) respectively. In the Middle

East and North Africa Region, a project amounting to US$0.78 million has been approved in Tunisia.15

22. As noted earlier, commitments are made under both the financing windows of the MDTF and SDTF. A

total of US$6.91 million have been made under the SDTF Country Operations Window. Another

US$5.57 million in commitments have been made under the MDTF Country Operations Window. In

addition, US$4.41 million in commitments have been made to MDTF Knowledge Window including

for support services (M&E, strategic communications, learning, and training).

23. Disbursement projections through the end of FY15 remain robust and will be further bolstered by

tranching. While there is still headroom to respond to growing demand, early efforts to support

implementation of active projects would benefit CIIP’s young portfolio. Starting in FY15, new

commitments will be made primarily under the MDTF Knowledge Management and the SDTF Country

Operations Windows (Charts 2-3).

14 Data do not include non-lending resources mobilized by Bank operations. The overall leveraging impact of these CIIP projects, in

terms of public and private investment, is expected to become evident within 1-2 years. 15 Global activities cover 4 knowledge products (US$2.988 million) and support services.

Early Achievements and Emerging Themes

24. In its first year, CIIP has experienced a high level of demand for its support. It also made progress

towards early results, especially on the knowledge front. An October 2013 CIIP flagship conference,

“Making Growth Happen,” provided an important opportunity for the development and academic

communities to take stock of the current thinking on industrial policy and competitiveness. A joint

World Bank-OECD initiative, the Innovation Policy Platform (IPP), promotes knowledge exchange

through an interactive platform that helps researchers and practitioners identify good practice

approaches to build innovation systems. CIIP has also supported training of policy leaders and

practitioners through the Competitiveness Summer School. It has published papers and blogs on a

number of themes—from site selection for industrial parks to agribusiness in Africa (Annex 8). These

knowledge initiatives are expected to influence country efforts as well as academic research.16

25. Even though CIIP-financed country efforts are still in their early stages of design and implementation,

indications are that these competitive industry approaches can gain traction. Participatory processes

and market analytics (Tier 3-4 indicators) are being used to support sector selection, for example, in

Cote d’Ivoire and Tunisia. Similarly, spatially-targeted public investments are being planned and

augmented in Ethiopia, Haiti, Tanzania, and Sierra Leone. The establishment of public agencies in

Georgia is supporting smart specialization and innovation systems. As implementation proceeds,

CIIP anticipates progress on Tier 1 and 2 indicators such as improvements in business regulation,

enhanced efficiency of public spending, leveraging of private investments, and job expansion.

FY14 Priorities

26. The development of CIIP’s implementation framework and the launch of several CIIP projects have set

the stage for priorities in the interim FY14 plan (Table 1). Over the September 2013-June 2014 period,

CIIP has focused on three priorities – implementation support for active operations; ‘leveling the

playing field’ for small and fragile states; and strengthening stewardship of donor resources:

First, CIIP will focus on implementation to active operations to fully exploit their

transformational potential. Activities will include proactive outreach to country clients and

partners, close monitoring of CIIP grants and associated World Bank operations, and support for

real-time evaluations of selected components. CIIP has set an ambitious target of accelerating

disbursements to 20 percent of overall program commitments. It will also identify flagships from

its portfolio of active projects—that is, those with high potential for learning-by-doing, for

creating demonstration efforts (for example, based on innovative design), and for generating

impact (for example, in terms of job creation). In parallel, a US$1 million cap is proposed on

new commitments for the remainder of the third and fourth quarters of FY14.

Second, CIIP’s hitherto demand-driven focus (Tracks 3-4) will be complemented by affirmative

efforts (Track 1-2) in fragile and small states in the ACP. Approximately US$2 million have been

provisionally allocated for these affirmative efforts over the program life. A regional conference

on competitiveness and industry level efforts in Africa is planned for March 2014. Preparations

for FY15 knowledge events in the small states of the Caribbean and Pacific are also underway.

Taken together, Tracks 1-2 aim to ‘level the playing field’ before additional commitments are

made through Track 3 and 4.

16 For instance, CIIP recently provided inputs to the Invest in Cote d’Ivoire 2014 conference, which was convened by the

country’s president to galvanize its industrialization efforts. The conference brought together over 1500 investors, high level

representatives from multilateral institutions, and officials from several African and European countries. Based on CIIP’s early

engagement, Ivorian leadership has sought ongoing advice on the design of growth poles and value chain development initiatives.

Competitive Industries and Innovation Program 17

Third, CIIP will continue to institutionalize good stewardship practices across the partnership

program inter alia through regular financial and physical reporting, compliance with established

procedures and processes, systematic tranching of disbursements, and communications efforts. In

addition, the secretariat envisages resource mobilization efforts to broaden CIIP’s base of support.

Implications for FY15 and Beyond

27. Middle and lower income countries as well as fragile states are eager to generate quality jobs in their

productive sectors. Demand for CIIP-style country operations continues to grow, as does global

interest in actionable knowledge on competitiveness and innovation strategies. While CIIP has the

capacity to respond in a number of areas, it remains constrained in others. For instance, as Table 1,

there is urgent need for CIIP to develop the financial capacity to respond to demand from South Asian

clients, and possibly augment funding for small and fragile states in the ACP depending on the

success of early Tracks 1-2 efforts.

28. This strategy and interim business plan provides the basis for broadening CIIP’s base of support. Like-

minded donors will be consulted with a view to mobilize an additional US$65-85 million—based on

estimated needs—to support program objectives over FY13-18.
