GMR: “FTI is not meeting expectations” - ii
Confidence in the Catalytic Fund?
FTI supposed to be fast
Expectations in Partner Countries
Donors’ need for accountability
Money spent in accordance with acceptable
standards
Consequence : Tension and frustration!
6
GMR: “FTI is not meeting expectations” - iii
No simple solution!
Need for better communication and
information
Need for clear guidelines
The endorsement process
The application – EQR
FTI preparation vs. Danida preparation time
7
GMR: “FTI is not meeting expectations” - iv
Disbursement performance
Too many cases taken too long
Not conducive for the credibility of FTI
Who is to blame?
Endorsement and appraisal processes at country level
Too much variation in the past
Not meeting minimum requirements
Analytical work, e.i. fiduciary risk assessment after allocation
Who does it?
World Bank rules and regulations
Consequence: Delays – 2007:126; 2008:214; 2009:340

GMR: “FTI is not meeting expectations” - v
Faster disbursement performance
One solution: Financing modality
The more harmonised and aligned – the faster and
smoother the disbursement
Burkina Faso – Sector Budget Support
Zambia – Alternative Supervising Entity – Basket Fund

GMR: “FTI is not meeting expectations” - vi
“Some countries with newly endorsed plans will not
be able to get support at all”
Accuracy of figures and statistics –
Is it 1 or 2 billion USD per year?
GMR says one thing – the FTI Secretariat another
Replenishment process
Ensure predictability and long term commitment
