Building-up a Results Measurement
System for Infrastructure
Presentation for
Second International Roundtable on
Managing for Development Results
Building-up a
Results Measurement System for Infrastructure
Infrastructure Contributions to Results
• Approach to Infrastructure
• Implications for Development Effectiveness
• Global Level: Research Agenda
• Country Level: Analytic Agenda
Measurement Framework
• Global Goals
• Country Outcomes
• Definition of Indicators
• Data Sources and Partners
Approach to Infrastructure
Emphasizes Infrastructure Service Delivery
not only about…
Growth
An End unto Itself
Access and Efficiency
Provider Focus
…also about…
Poverty Reduction and the MDGs
Means to Achieve Goals in other Areas
Affordability and Quality
Consumer Focus
Calls for Allocating Resources to and Targeting Interventions
In…
New Physical Assets
…also in
Operations and Maintenance,
Capacity Building, Policy Reform
Implications for Development Effectiveness
GLOBAL
LEVEL
Research
Agenda
Measurement
Framework
• Identify Priority Sectors and
Countries
Improve Accountability for all
Development Partners
• Identify Priority Sectors within a
Country for Resource Allocation
COUNTRY
LEVEL
Analytic
Agenda
• Identify interventions to Target within
a Sector
• Improve Results Focus of Project
Design and Outcome Measurement
Global Level: Research Agenda
Identify Priority Sectors by Developing Empirical Evidence
 MDGs: The contribution of each infrastructure sector to the
achievement of the MDGs
 Poverty Reduction: The correlation between changes in
infrastructure service delivery in each sector and changes in
poverty levels
 Growth: The extent to which changes in infrastructure service
delivery in each sector lead to changes in e.g. GDP, national
income
Identify Priority Countries by Better Tapping Data
 Access to Infrastructure Services: Deviation of each country
from targets and global averages
Country Level: Analytic Agenda
Establish Infrastructure Contributions to Country Outcomes
 Causal relationship between infrastructure service provision and country
goals,
e.g. electricity  education level, transport  income level
Assess Overall Sector Performance
 Measurement of infrastructure service provision beyond access
e.g. quality and affordability
 Benchmarking performance of one country relative to others
Identify Population Segments in Greatest Need of Improved
Infrastructure Services
 Social/economic rate of return of investment on: rural-urban areas,
different income quintiles, different end-user groups
Global Goals: What is Being Measured
Measuring Progress toward Millennium Development Goals
Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability
•
Water: Proportion of People with Access to Improved Water Sources
•
Sanitation: Proportion of People with Access to Improved Sanitation
•
Energy: GDP per unit of Energy Use (as a Proxy of Energy Efficiency)
•
Urban/Slum Upgrading: Proportion of People with Access to Secure Tenure
Goal 8: Development a Global Partnership for Development
•
ICT: Telephone Lines per 1000 People
•
ICT: Personal Computers per 1000 People
Taking Global Monitoring beyond the MDGs
Demonstrates Progress in each Infrastructure Sector
e.g. Transport: Proportion of Rural Population with Reliable Access to the Road Network
Tracks Individual Sector Performance Globally and Over Time
Global Measurement Uses a Single Measure for Each
Infrastructure Sector often Capturing Only Access
Country Outcomes: What Needs to be Measured
Infrastructure Sectors
Water and Sanitation
Energy
Transport
•
•
•
•
Roads
Rails
Ports
Air
Info. & Comm. Tech.
Housing
Policy Areas
Access
Affordability
Quality of Service
Cost Efficiency
Fiscal Costs
Governance
Country Measurement Focuses on
Multiple Measures for Each Sector
Definition of Indicators
Policy Areas
Indicators
Affordability Indicators
Access
Affordability
Quality of Service
Cost Efficiency
Fiscal Costs
Governance
Connection Charge to Electricity Network
Construction Cost of Sanitation Facilities
Household Spending on Transport
Cost of a Local Phone Call
Quality of Service Indicators
Perceived Quality of Services Delivered by
Road Department (Perception)
Hours/Day of Water Supply (Technical)
Indicators Should be Based on Key Policy Areas
Data Sources and Partners
Government Agencies
Data Sources
• Household Surveys
• Firms Surveys
• Expert Surveys
• Country Analytic Work
• Supplier Data
• Administrative Files
Development Partners
• Bilateral Donors
• International Energy Agency
• International Monetary Fund
• International Road Federation
• International Telecommunication Union
• Multilateral Development Banks
• UNICEF
• United Nations / UN Habitat
• Universal Postal Union
• Utility Data Institute
• World Economic Forum
• World Health Organization
• Others
Expand Data Sources and Join Efforts across
Partners to Support Country Capacity
Summary of Key Points
Global Goals:
 Global Measurement Uses a Single Measure for Each
Infrastructure Sector often Capturing Only Access
Country Outcomes:
 Country Measurement Focuses on Multiple Measures for
Each Sector
Indicators:
 Should be Based on Key Policy Areas
Data:
 Expand Sources and Join Efforts across Partners to
Support Country Capacity
Build Consensus in the Development Community for
a Results Measurement System for Infrastructure
