Regional Overview of West and
Central Africa
• 24 countries of which:
5 represent the lowest rankings in the Human
Development Index
13 are in the bottom 22 in the Human
Development Index
5 countries face civil war or conflict

1/3rd of the area of WCA is located in the arid
or semi-arid zone: drought and famine are
common
Regional Overview of West and
Central Africa
• 550 million people (Oct. 2006)
52% women
More than 70% live in rural areas
• High annual population growth rates:
2% - 3.5%
• Agriculture provides more than 70% of the
basic needs and incomes of rural people

•Majority of people in WCA live in rural areas: 350 Million, 2006
•More than 70% of the rural population of WCA suffer from acute poverty (less than 1$/day)
•Agriculture is the primary source of income in the region.

Structural Characteristics of the
Regional Portfolio
• 50 financed projects in 20 countries.
• Total financing about US$729 million, with
cofinancing of about US$313 million.
• The regional grant portfolio amounted to
US$21.24 million: 15 large regional grants
(US$18.49 million) and 19 small grants
(US$2.75 million).
• Cofinancing mobilized increased by 12%
from US$291 million to US$313 million
Project Implementation
Performance
• Of the 40 projects rated, 33 were
classified as Not At Risk (NAR), 3 as
Potential Problem Projects (PPPs) and 4
as Actual Problem Project (APPs).
• There are currently 7 projects ‘at risk’
compared to 9 from the previous review
period.
• Low disbursement rates represent the most
significant portfolio constraint
 Share of projects with disbursement lag over 40%
down to 22% from 27%.

Loan and Grant Programme
Priorities in WCA
Support the building of inclusive value chains and rural
enterprises including access of the rural poor to
technology and innovations to promote sustainable
agricultural productivity and food security.
Access of rural households and enterprises to
financial services and local, regional and international
input-supply and output markets
Access to natural resources (especially land and
water) and maintaining the quality of the resource
base for agriculture in the context of climate change
Institutional development and capacity-building
Divisional Management Plan
Better programme design
Better program implementation
Knowledge management and
innovation
Partnership within & outside IFAD
Better Programme Design
• 4 result based COSOPs to be designed in
2009
• Use the CPMT approach to produce high
quality COSOPs in harmony with the Paris
declaration
• Contribute to national and regional policy
generation and transformation through
partnership (IFPRI, FAO, OECD, etc.)
KPI: 2009 Objective for COSOP in
quality
• % of COSOP rated satisfactory or better at
entry------------------------------------------80%
• % of COSOP rated satisfactory or better
during implimentation according to client
survey----------------------------------------80%
• % of Country programmes rated
satisfactory or better on adherence to
Paris Aid Effectiveness according to Paris
Declaration monitoring Group----------80%
Better Program Design
• 7/8 projects to the board in ’09
• Currently 11 projects in the pipeline at varying
stages of design
• Three criteria to determine the entry of new
projects into the portfolio & design
– Ensure robustness & quality of projects at entry
– Maximum utilization of PBAS
– Progressive reduction of number of projects in the
regional portfolio to match resources: maximum of 1
project per country per PBA cycle
Better Project Implementation
• Areas of focus
– Reduction and eventual removal of
projects at risk
– Reduction of implementation problems,
especially relating to:
Disbursement rating
Counterpart funds
High operating costs
Governance/ corruption
Project management
Non performing service providers
Inefficient Mand E
Better Project Implementation
• Improve development effectiveness by:
Taking over supervision of projects: 3 projects
directly supervised in 2006, 12 in 2007, 23 in
2008, 35 in 2009, all projects in 2010
Increasing the country presence (Burkina
Faso included in 2009)
Outposting of CPMs (starting with Senegal
and Ghana in 2009;
 Newly established portofolio suport unit
 Divisional dashboard to monitor portfolio performance
KPI: Country project
implementation
• Average time from project effectiveness to
approval-----------------------------13 months
• % of projects with supervision rating
satisfactory or better (sup. Reports---80%
• Project at risk -----------------------25% max
Knowledge Management and Innovation
• Expected Results:
– Mainstreaming of KM in country programmes
and projects starting with new projects and at
mid-term review
– Improving M&E (M&E regional grant)
– Learning from field experiences (Scouting
innovations through supervision)
Knowledge Management and Innovation:
Expected Results Continued…
– Strengthening Fidafrique and linking to ES
Africa
– Improving the effectiveness of knowledge
grants (Knowledge Grants: IITA Grants,
Microfinance, Future focus on Rice, R&T,
Millet/Sorghum)
– Improving the skills of IFAD staff and partners
in supervision, implementation support,
innovation and KM
Partnerships
• Within IFAD
– Closer cooperation with PF (Fidafrique, NEPAD,
market access)
– Systematized cooperation through joint programmes
with FC, EC, EO (project information management,
support implementation performance, policy)
• External Partners
– Professional organizations and Private Sector
– Co Financers (AfDB, WB, BSF, OPEC, BOAD, IsDB,
BADEA)
– Policy support (OECD, IFPRI)
– All above: within the context of the Paris Declaration
Risk Management
• Civil Strife
– Increase project pipeline to ensure delivery
• Poor resource management
– Enforce submissions of project audit
– Introduce continuous audit processes where
risk is high
– Include component on corruption in project
design
• To be discussed with Virgina
