In today¡¯s world, development is about results and institutional strengthening. Everyone¡ªgovernment officials, parliamentarians, civil society, and the private sector¡ªis demanding programs that help deliver sustainable results and build institutions. To address this growing demand, the World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP developed the Program-for-Results (PforR) financing instrument.
PforR¡¯s unique features include using a country¡¯s own institutions and processes, and linking disbursement of funds directly to the achievement of specific program results.
This approach helps build capacity within the country, enhances effectiveness and efficiency and leads to achievement of tangible, sustainable program results.
PforR is also unique because it supports government programs and helps leverage World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP development assistance by fostering partnerships and aligning development partner goals and results that can lead to greater development effectiveness.
PforR is available to all World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP member countries and is one of three financing instruments offered, accompanying Investment Project Financing (IPF) and Development Policy Financing (DPF). The choice of instrument depends on a client¡¯s needs and the development challenge to be addressed.
Since its creation in 2012, there has been steady increase in the use of PforR. As of April 8, 2024 there are 181 active PforR operations totaling $58.9 billion of ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP financing. In many cases, PforR operations have served as a platform to mobilize development partner support around government programs and the strengthening of those program systems.
