Core Content

The Marrakech Action Plan for Statistics (MAPS), Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21), and Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (TFSCB) are three related global programs aimed at improving statistical capacity in developing countries. These programs are part of the World Bank Group (WBG) initiatives to support evidence-based policy-making and development outcomes.

Main Programs and Objectives

• Start date: November 1999
• Goal: Develop a culture of management for development results
• Program objectives:
  • Mobilize resources for NSDS implementation
  • Coordinate donor support to statistics

• Activities:
  • Encourage developing countries to design and implement NSDSs
  • Produce advocacy materials to promote the role of statistics in development and poverty reduction
  • Promote donor coordination for statistical capacity building
• World Bank Group contributions:
  • $5.3 million to PARIS21 core activities until FY2010
  • $10.3 million for two other programs
  • The Bank sits on the Board
• Other donor contributions: $21.5 million to core activities

  • Executive Committee provides accountability and guidance
  • Secretariat carries out the work program

Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (TFSCB)

• Start date: 1999
• Goal: Improve the capacity of developing countries to compile and use statistics to support the management of development results
• Program objectives:
  • Support the preparation of NSDSs in line with MAPS
  • Work with PARIS21 to ensure all low-income countries have integrated and comprehensive plans for national statistical systems
• Activities:
  • Provides small grants of up to $500,000 over 2–3 years to low-income countries and regional/international organizations for specific capacity building projects

  • Internal Management Committee (IMC), chaired by a DECDG Manager, reviews project proposals and decides on funding
  • External advisory panel reviews IMC decisions and advises on future direction

Key Findings and Lessons

• The three programs have similar objectives and are closely aligned, with TFSCB being an important instrument for implementing MAPS since 2004
• The World Bank has played a foundational role in the establishment and management of these programs
• The programs aim to improve statistical capacity, promote coordination, and support national strategies for statistical development
• Evaluation of these programs is critical to ensuring their relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability
• The World Bank's role includes providing financial support, oversight, and technical assistance

Evaluation and Accountability

• The Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) conducts Global Program Reviews (GPRs) to evaluate the effectiveness and relevance of these programs
• The GPR process includes a desk review, stakeholder consultations, and, if applicable, a mission to the program's secretariat
• The World Bank is accountable to its Board of Executive Directors and to the public through the GPR process
• The IEG does not recommend the continuation or discontinuation of programs, as that is the responsibility of the governing bodies

Conclusion

The Marrakech Action Plan for Statistics (MAPS), Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21), and Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building (TFSCB) are key initiatives of the World Bank Group aimed at strengthening statistical systems in developing countries. They support the development and implementation of national strategies for statistical development, coordinate donor efforts, and provide financial and technical assistance to build capacity. These programs are essential for achieving evidence-based policy-making and monitoring development outcomes, and their evaluation by IEG ensures that they remain relevant and effective.
