The evaluation aims to respond to the following overarching question related to the World Bank Group’s support for information and communication technologies (ICT): Has Bank Group support for ICT been relevant and effective in leveraging ICT for development? The evaluation looked into the relevance and effectiveness in each of the four dimensions through which ICT can help achieve development outcomes: ï‚· Enhance productivity, economic growth, and job creation. ï‚· Improve the quality and reach of services to the public. ï‚· Increase transparency, efficiency, and accountability in governance and government functions. ï‚· Increase equity and integration of marginalized groups. 2. IEG has sought to answer the main evaluative question above by addressing the following questions and sub-questions: ï‚· In what ways has ICT been shown to impact productivity, economic growth, and job creation; the quality and reach of services to the public; transparency, efficiency, and accountability in governance and government functions; and equity and integration of marginalized groups (the development objectives)? ï‚· Do Bank Group country strategies, country programs, and individual lending and investment operations recognize and incorporate the potential of ICT for achieving development objectives? ï‚· Insofar as they have sought to do this, to what extent has the Bank Group been relevant and effective? ï‚· What are the internal and external factors (for example, skills and organizational structure) of relevance and success (if any) for the Bank Group in this area? 3. The evaluation findings were developed through desk reviews, background studies, IEG project assessments, country case studies, interviews, and a survey of task team leaders. The main building blocks of the evaluation are described below. World Bank Group Strategies 4. IEG reviewed Bank Group sector strategies or implementation updates (17 strategy documents), IFC and MIGA corporate strategies and work program documents, and department and regional strategies issued between FY03 and FY10 to assess the extent to which ICT was incorporated as a tool to support development outcomes. (A complete list of sector strategies is in appendix J.) 5. A structured desk review of recent and previous Country Assistance / Partnership Strategies for 20 countries assessed the extent to which countries have recognized the 1 APPENDIX A METHODOLOGY benefits and possibilities of ICT and whether they identified ICT as a tool to support development outcomes.1 World Bank Group Operations Portfolio 6. The evaluation reviewed a random sample of completed and ongoing Bank Group operations (including lending, investments, guarantees, advisory services, and analytic and advisory activities [AAA]) approved during FY03–10 to assess the relevance and effectiveness of these operations, factors of success, and sustainability of results. IEG reviewed two sets of projects: (i) ICT sector – involving ICT regulatory and policy reform, infrastructure and networks, information technology and media, and ICT skills; and (ii) ICT applications – ICT components in public sector government, the social sectors, and commerce and banking, among others. 7. Results from project assessments were informed by an analysis of the portfolios of the World Bank, International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) in the ICT sector and in ICT applications, which covered relevant activities approved during FY03–10, including lending, investment, guarantees, advisory services, and AAA. 8. The review of Bank Group operations was complemented by field validations in three countries (Burkina Faso, Guatemala, and Kenya). The validations also served to assess the coordination, complementarity, and coherence of interventions by each of the three Bank Group institutions. As part of the validations, interviews were conducted with Bank Group country directors, country managers, resident representatives, task team leaders, government officials, industry experts, academics, consumer advocates, and other stakeholders. 9. IEG used a common template for the assessment of ICT sector and ICT application projects, covering the following questions: (i) relevance of objectives; (ii) appropriateness of design and IFC’s additionality; (iii) project outputs; and (iv) outcomes, impacts, and sustainability of results. ICT Sector Operations 10. IEG reviewed a sample of World Bank, IFC, and MIGA ICT sector projects approved between FY03and FY09. The review covered 65 World Bank operations, 47 IFC investments, and five MIGA projects. Projects were assessed using a standardized template as described above, using project appraisal, supervision, and monitoring and evaluation documents, as well as industry databases available from the World Bank or external sources. Where projects were too recent to evaluate outputs or outcomes, the review focused on the appropriateness of design and on relevance. 1Angola, Argentina, Belarus, Benin, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, India, Iraq, Kenya, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Papua New Guinea, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Yemen. 2 APPENDIX A METHODOLOGY 11. The population of World Bank ICT sector projects approved between FY03 and FY09 included 95 projects, both investment loans and Development Policy Operations, which supported regulatory and sector reform, aimed to increase access to information infrastructure, or helped the development of the ICT sector (a complete list of projects is in appendix D). From the universe of 95 operations, IEG randomly selected a statistically significant sample of 65 projects. IEG also reviewed relevant Activity Completion Summaries, self-reporting instruments prepared for completed AAA activities. 12. For IFC, the analysis was based on a structured review of a random sample of ICT investments. The universe of IFC projects supported between FY03 and FY09 consisted of 87 projects (100 investments) representing 75 companies (see appendix F). IEG drew a random sample of 47 projects (companies), of which 22 were in telecommunications and 25 in the IT / media subsectors. IEG also reviewed Expanded Project Supervision Reports (XPSRs) and Evaluative Notes prepared for projects in the ICT sector during calendar years 2003–09. 13. IEG conducted an econometric analysis to investigate the role of competition in mobile telephone diffusion. Using a country-level, panel data set (2003-10), the change in mobile penetration rate was modeled as a function of a set of explanatory variables thought to influence the adoption of mobile telephony. It was assumed that the adoption of mobile technology (penetration) occurs through the interaction of individuals. The lag of mobile penetration was used to model this behavior. Controlling for the level of competition in mobile telephone service (monopoly, partial competition, full competition) as defined by the ITU and the World Bank, overall country characteristics (International Country Risk Guide), and technological innovation (annual dummy variables), we found evidence to suggest that the rate of mobile adoption is significantly related to mobile penetration in the preceding period. Holding constant technological innovation (annual time dummies), country characteristics and “diffusion,â€? competition was found to significantly increase the rate of mobile phone penetration. Partitioning the sample into partially competitive and fully competitive markets, we tested the independent effects of World Bank and IFC investments on the rate of mobile diffusion. Operations with ICT Applications 14. IEG reviewed the universe of World Bank projects approved between FY03 and FY10 (2nd quarter) to determine the population of projects with ICT components or subcomponents, using text search software with 30 ICT-related search items. Of the 1,756 projects that IEG screened, 1,302 had ICT components or subcomponents. IEG selected a statistically significant random sample of 91 projects for its assessment. All sampled projects were further divided into three categories depending on the estimated importance of the role of ICT in the overall project: crucial to achieve the project’s development objectives, that is, the project would have not achieved its intended development objectives without the implementation of the ICT component or subcomponent; important for one aspect of the project (for example, for piloting or sustainability); or minor for achieving the project development objectives. A complete list of sampled projects is in appendix E 15. IEG project reviews identified the extent to which ICT components and subcomponents (i) played a role in achieving the project development objectives, (ii) were 3 APPENDIX A METHODOLOGY relevant to the country priorities and conditions, (iii) were successfully implemented; and (iv) have made a difference to project outcomes. 16. For IFC, the analysis of ICT applications focused on a purposive sample of projects in mobile banking and m-health, and advisory services related to these investments. Nonlending Activities 17. As self-evaluation of the performance of World Bank nonlending activities is less developed than in the case of lending operations, the evaluation assessed these activities from four angles: (i) an overview of the World Bank AAA portfolio (410 activities) based on the self-assessments of the extent to which the AAA objectives were met (according to Activity Completion Summaries), without independently validating each AAA intervention; (ii) a review of AAA in conjunction with the assessment of a sample of ICT lending operations; (iii) as part of the analysis of 20-country cases; and (iv) through an econometric analysis of the effect of ICT AAA in competition and the diffusion of mobile telephony. For IFC, the evaluation reviewed the portfolio of ICT-related advisory services from different business lines, and assessed selected activities linked to sampled investments, as well as closed advisory services projects. Background Papers 18. The evaluation was informed and draws on background work on global trends in the ICT sector, regulatory frameworks, and the respective roles of the private and public investment sectors. Key findings of the paper are reflected in the evaluation report. IEG also commissioned a literature review on the link of ICT access and use to development outcomes: (i) economic growth and job creation; (ii) the quality and reach of services to the public; (iii) transparency, efficiency and accountability in governance and government functions; and (iv) greater equity among social groups, integration of marginalized groups into the economy, and empowering the disempowered. Focus Groups, Interviews, and Surveys Task Team Leader Focus Groups 19. IEG held four focus group discussions with Bank and IFC project task team leaders/investment officers. These discussions helped gather further information from the task team leaders regarding their experience in preparing and implementing ICT projects or ICT applications. In all meetings, participants were encouraged to put forward any pertinent issues. Two of the focus groups covered operations supporting ICT applications, and two groups covered ICT sector operations for the Bank and IFC. Interviews 20. In addition to the interviews conducted during field validations, IEG interviewed Bank Group staff including from the ICT unit, IFC investment and strategy officers, and staff from anchor units and OPCS. Task Team Leader Survey 4 APPENDIX A METHODOLOGY 21. An Internet-based survey was conducted for Bank project task team leaders. The purpose of the survey was to get a deeper understanding of organizational aspects of the delivery of Bank Group ICT products, including aspects of Bank Group institutional organization in ICT and the degree of collaboration and synergies among the various units. The survey results are presented in appendix C. 5 Appendix B. Literature Review2 ICT Support for Poverty and Development 1. ICT is often described as a general purpose technology; support for ICT is not a development objective in and of itself for the Bank Group, but rather a means to address development challenges (see Chapter 2). 2. This evaluation assessed the empirical evidence available to support each of the development objectives, and thus the relevance of Bank Group use and support of ICT. The results, based on a literature review, are presented in the following sections. ICT MATTERS FOR GROWTH, BUT MOST EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE COMES FROM DEVELOPED COUNTRIES 3. ICT matters for growth and development. Both the ICT sector proper and ICT applications can have significant economic impacts, and the two are somewhat symbiotic. The ICT sector itself can be an engine of growth and is generally regarded as a source of innovation, with some of the highest growth in productivity over the years. By increasing the availability of ICT, the sector enables wider application and use of ICT. Use of ICT can increase firm-level productivity through efficiency gains from access to information and reduction of transaction costs (Brynjolfsson and Hitt 2000; Stiroh 2002; Brynjolfsson and others 2007). The use of ICT in applications also can increase the efficiency of government services and service delivery to the public (in health and education, for example). 4. ICT supports growth through several channels or transmission mechanisms. ICT generates a “growth dividendâ€? by increasing the flow of information and reducing transaction costs (the costs of exchanging goods and services in a market or within an organization); improving the functioning of markets and expanding market boundaries; and increasing productivity through better management in both the public and private sectors. ICT lowers both the fixed costs of acquiring information and the variable costs of participating in markets (Norton 1992; Roeller and Waverman 2001). 5. Growth theories help to conceptually indentify three interrelated stages in considering the contributions of ICT to growth.1 The investment stage is related to the expansion of production capacity — capital deepening in existing industries where labor combines with greater quantities of capital, increasing labor productivity (Pilat 2004). Productivity gains in the ICT-producing sector have been sufficiently large to positively affect the economy wide average, at least in the case of the U.S. (Jorgenson and Stiroh, 2000). If growth contributions are limited to the investment stage, only a narrow range of sectors will show limited improvement in growth performance, and such gains in growth performance will fade as the investment push comes to an end. 2 The governance, service delivery and marginalization sections of this review are largely based on research done by RAND Europe for this evaluation. 6 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW 6. The innovation stage also raises productivity by introducing new production processes and products. For example, in ICT-producing industries, ICT goods and services may increase the efficiency of existing capital and labor, increasing multifactor productivity (Pilat 2004), thereby extending the growth contribution past the initial investment stage. 7. Finally, the transformation stage is related to greater use of ICT, creating a more competitive and more dynamic economic environment which is conducive to sustained growth. Network and spill-over effects of ICT increase the information available to market participants and lower transaction costs. At this stage, the contribution of ICT to economic growth will be broad-based and sustainable beyond the initial investment push only if ICT raises the productivity of ICT-using sectors and makes the whole economic system more efficient (Pilat 2004). The largest benefits to development are expected from innovations and use of ICT applications. 8. Consensus has emerged that both the production and use of ICT contribute to aggregate productivity (Jorgenson and Stiroh 2000; Jorgenson and Vu 2005). Total factor productivity increased from 21 percent of world economic growth between 1990 and 1995 to 29 percent between 1995 and 2003. This has been associated to a significant extent with the ICT revolution. The share of this gain attributable to the ICT sector has declined, while productivity growth in ICT-using industries has accelerated. Two important components of the ICT sector, equipment manufacturing and information technology-enabled services (ITES), are highly concentrated regionally, and productivity gains generated are being captured largely by consumers in developed countries, not by developing country producers (Best and Kenny 2009). 9. The process of economic growth has a long list of determinants with a high degree of simultaneity and endogeneity, but the evidence does suggest that the adoption of ICT has positive impacts on firm performance and productivity, even in countries and industries for which little evidence is available at more aggregate levels of analysis. 10. Macroeconomic evidence of mobile telephony’s impact on growth in developing countries is well established. Researchers have found significant impacts of increased mobile penetration on the rate of economic growth for the average developing country (1980–2005). Roeller and Waverman (2001) established a causal relationship between the spread of telecommunications and productivity in developed Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries for the period 1970–90. The spread of modern, fixed-line telephony alone was responsible for one-third of the OECD’s output growth over the period. However, they note the existence of threshold effects at near universal penetration of telecommunication services. 11. Waverman, Meschi, and Fuss (2005)2 examined data on 92 countries, both high and low income, from 1980 to 2003, to test whether the introduction and rollout of mobile phone networks added to economic growth. The study results showed that mobile telephony has a positive and significant impact on economic growth, and this impact may be twice as large in developing countries as in developed countries. Given that differences in the speed, penetration, and diffusion of mobile telephony explain differences in growth rates between developing countries, the resulting gaps in mobile penetration and diffusion will manifest in continuing differences in future growth rates (Waverman, Meschi, and Fuss (2005)3 7 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW 12. While the Waverman and others study provides further support for the beneficial growth impact of ICT network development, in this case mobile, on economic growth. But the study does not identify the facilitating factors that stimulated growth in the above- average countries, the barriers facing the below-average countries, or how to overcome those barriers. It does not recognize the vastly different economic circumstances that exist among countries or provide a basis for establishing investment priorities or sector policies for any specific country, the World Bank or other donors that may wish to assist countries in developing their ICT sectors. 13. Sridhar and Sridhar (2009) find, for a sample of 63 developing countries between 1990 and 2001, a 10 percent increase in cell phone penetration results in a 0.1 percent increase in national output. (Sridhar and Sridhar 2009, pp. 108-109). Qiang (2009b) estimated the average growth effect of fixed line, mobile, internet, and broadband services for a sample of 120 developed and developing countries covering the period 1980–2006. Qiang’s findings for mobile telephony are in-line with previous research (Waverman, Meschi, and Fuss 2005); a 10 percent increase in mobile penetration can be expected to increase economic growth in low- and middle-income countries by .81 percentage points. The results for Internet and broadband are more tentative given the recent adoption of these technologies, with little confirming evidence from the literature. 14. Policy makers and economists should be aware of the caveats surrounding the findings supporting the contribution of ICT to economic growth in developing countries, aside from issues of endogeneity. Roller and Waverman (2005) mention three important factors to take into consideration. First, low growth is not solely a function of ICT but is also a function of poor governance and lack of physical and human capital, among other factors. Second, the more recent the technological advance—for example, broadband— the less likely it is that advances in penetration rates will exhibit real trends. Finally, the growth in mobile penetration has been rapid and started from zero, which could confound the econometrics. 15. Microeconomic analysis has also shown voice telephony to have considerable impact on firm and labor productivity and enhanced market efficiencies through the diffusion of information (Jensen 2007; Aker 2008, 2010), noting in some cases pro-poor effects of ICT (Klonner and Nolen 2008). Although the evidence is sparse, there is no reason to believe that investments in ICT would be less effective in developing countries than in developed ones (Best and Kenny 2009). 16. Research has indentified necessary conditions and priority areas for maximizing the potential role of ICT investment in enhancing growth and job creation. According to the findings from previous research, successful and effective ICT investment requires: (i) co- investment in human and organizational capital, consistent with current and future demand, and (ii) a favorable regulatory and institutional environment for entrepreneurship and transaction. THERE IS LIMITED EVIDENCE OF HOW ICT AFFECTS THE QUALITY AND REACH OF SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC 17. The desire to mitigate failures in the delivery of services underpins interventions to integrate ICT into service delivery processes. ICT is integrated by introducing e-services to 8 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW replace or complement existing services or integrating ICT into processes involved in delivering non-e-services. ICT affects the delivery of services by altering communication flows, technology and/or the quality, reliability, and value of information (Frenzel and Frenzel 2004; Ayo and Ota 2008: Tomasi and others 2009; Mutula and Mostert 2010). 18. ICT can offer different opportunities for change in the delivery of services. ICT can contribute to change in access to and management and storage of information and communication among those involved in service delivery. This can result in new ways of managing operations, engaging in skill development (Kim, Kim, and Yoon 1992), providing for feedback, and networking and collaboration between distant and near individuals and communities (Shivute, Maumbe, and Owei 2008). For example, the Belo Horizonte telemedicine project in 2003 in Brazil affected health care services through networking and collaboration. It allowed for collaboration between clinics and hospitals through videoconferences and teleconsulting and reduced the number of specialist referrals required (Tomasi and others 2009). 19. ICT appears to affect service delivery outcomes through efficiency, effectiveness, and access to services. ICT may help reduce the minimum unit cost of a particular service by reducing transaction time and improving staff productivity levels through automating banking services (Osabuohien 2008); maximize the total benefit of services in the short run; or increase incentives for continuing investment, innovation, and improvement of service provision. 20. In addition, ICT can prevent opportunities for corruption and fraud—by limiting face-to-face interactions in transferring funds in banking, for example (Osabuohien 2008). However, in contrast, surveillance of ICT could be expensive, or information provided to the systems may be inaccurate (Gething and others 2006), not useful, or late and fragmented (Tomasi and others 2009), thus possibly contributing to inefficiencies in service delivery (Martinez and others 2005). 21. ICT can provide new means for communication and access to information that overcomes distance, communicates new viewpoints, and provides space for deliberation (Thompson 1999). For example, distance learning can allow for access to continued education among students in areas of low socioeconomic development, where such opportunities may not be readily available (Baggaley, Belawali, and Malik 2009). However, ICT does not necessarily lead to greater access for all recipients; instead, the distribution of ICT could follow dimensions of exclusion—for example, as ICT adoption and networks could be adopted more easily in dense urban areas rather than more isolated rural communities (Goolsbee and Klenow 2002; Unwin 2009), or limited by moral hazard (for example, through laziness, corruption, complacency, and the like). 22. For example, high tariffs for mobile telephony could result in access only for those of certain income levels: in Costa Rica, surveys of mobile telephone tariffs in Latin America help reveal that affordability based on income and tariffs affects the penetration of mobile telephony and lower levels of use among poor sectors (Galperin and Mariscal 2007). A case study in Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, India, found that information and communication technologies and development (ICTD) telecentres were used mainly by men with middle or high incomes and aspirations, and with at least a secondary school education, and thus 9 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW displayed distributional impacts favoring those who are better off (Kuriyan and Ray 2009). Moreover, access does not necessarily improve recipients’ welfare and/or development, so we need to ensure that we understand how changes in access relate to the wider development context. 23. Not only can ICT affect service delivery outcomes along the dimensions of efficiency, effectiveness, and access, but these consequences vary across the types of service delivery. Infrastructural services, such as electricity, can contribute to productivity gains by stimulating other services, such as schools, markets, and water services, and by enabling business or agricultural activity. However, this does not necessarily occur. ICT can be intentionally used for specific purposes in health care at various stages of service delivery, from the design of drugs to transport and communication, through to how frontline providers and patients interact. Improved health status (and ultimately improved welfare and productivity) requires each patient to have access to health care resources and knowledge specific to their location and situation. 24. In a synthesis of case studies, predominantly in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, and Uganda, Brewer and others (2005) suggest that while there are areas where ICT is unlikely to have an impact on health care, they can be effective in improving disease control, telemedicine, doctors’ efficiency, low-cost diagnosis, data collection and patient management. The contribution of ICT to this progression can depend on how they are embedded in local cultures, processes and experts, and if the technology formats are compatible with local technologies and capabilities. For example, three case studies of e- health programs in the Philippines found that communities were more receptive to using ICT when they were appropriate to local conditions (Marcelo 2009). 25. By changing educational service delivery, ICT can contribute to meeting the Millennium Development Goals (Nambiar 2005). ICT can affect administration, pedagogy, and curriculum in educational service delivery. Changing information, technologies and communication flows can affect how education is provided, what is taught, and what resources are available to support the process of delivery (Arredondo and others 2001; Mutula 2002; Thadaboina 2009). This could allow for more customized learning opportunities to suit local contexts. Changes in education and training can have important implications for other services (such as healthcare). For example, patients could be educated to make use of health care in a timely fashion or to engage with medical and public health advice, and health care providers could be given greater access to or more specialized training, such as improved distance learning. 26. However, discussions of how ICT can contribute to education suggest that school infrastructure, resources, distribution of skills, and cultural and political factors can affect how and if ICT results in changes in learning and teaching (Akinsanmi 2005; Nambiar 2005). For instance, in the One Laptop per Child Initiative, though laptops were designed to function well physically in developing countries, using such technologies in teaching and learning still requires compatibility with network and human capabilities. ICT must operate within system innovations, in training educational content, maintenance, and sustained commitment for long-term changes in education (Kraemer, Dedrick, and Sharma 2009). 10 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW 27. E-finance can provide new opportunities for those in developing countries to access financial services, including economic actors, such as small and medium-sized enterprises. Access to financial services, such as banking or insurance, is often beyond the reach of population groups in developing countries. ICT could allow financial services to become available through new channels (Kumar and others 2006, Diniz, Pozzebon, and Martin 2008). For instance, WIZZIT, a mobile banking provider in South Africa, allows customers to use mobile phones to make payments to other persons, transfer money, and buy airtime (Ivatury 2009). However, the impact of e-finance—including e-banking—on financial activities in developing countries can vary by the extent of reliable, secure and accurate information; existing coverage and use of ICT; local culture and practices; and legal and regulatory frameworks (Raihan 2001). 28. There are potentially competing and complementary interests between service providers and recipients in financial services and, more specifically, banking services. On the one hand, providers are concerned with productivity and profitability and how this links to customer satisfaction. On the other hand, recipients are likely to be concerned with the security, reliability, and speed of services. For example, ICT could facilitate greater effectiveness and efficiency in banking and financial transactions by automating financial activities. ICT could remove elements of human contact and potential opportunities for fraud, coercive behavior and corruption in financial transactions (Ayo and Ota 2008; Osabuohien 2008); ICT could be used in developing locally and culturally specific financial markets and arrangements (for example, microcredit, Sharia shared funds), or used to facilitate networking and access to information by financial service providers and users of the service. ICT PRESENTS NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO TRANSFORM THE WORKINGS OF GOVERNMENT 29. With greater connectivity, information flows, online government operations, and accessible information, ICT could be a means to make government more effective, accountable, and transparent. The international development agenda has increasingly focused on good governance as a means of improving development outcomes (Akokpari 2003; G8 Gleneagles 2005; Asian Development Bank 2010), especially through the use of ICT. The old model of information technology (IT), which enabled the automation of internal processes of government by processing data, has been enhanced through the development of ICT, which supports and transforms the external workings of governance by processing and communicating data (Heeks 2001). 30. Efficiency, accountability, and transparency are fundamental to good governance and are especially relevant to the logic that frames how ICT can affect governance. Although initially contested (see, for instance, Leff 1964; Bayley 1966), there is now a broad consensus among development actors that bad governance is one of the primary causes of underdevelopment (seen, for instance, in the development of the Monterrey Consensus; Ciborra and Navarra 2005). Corruption can be negatively associated with developmental objectives (Kaufmann 1998), and better governance can be positively associated with improved investment and growth rates (ODI 2006). Indeed, poor governance was one of the four categories identified to explain why some regions are failing to meet the Millennium Development Goals (Sachs and McArthur 2005). 11 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW 31. ICT is increasingly presented as a possible mechanism to foster good governance in developing countries (Madon 2004; Ndou 2004, p. 9; Ciborra and Navarra 2005, p. 141; Nayaran and Nerurkar 2006). The use of ICT for this purpose introduces the concept of e- governance. Okot-Uma and London (2000, p. 5) provide a useful working definition for e- governance as: A concept and emerging practice, E-governance seeks to realize processes and structures for harnessing the potentialities of information and communication technologies (ICTs) at various levels of government and the public sector and beyond, for the purpose of enhancing good governance. 32. ICT can be a channel for the pursuit of good governance goals. A plausible case can be made that by supporting the smooth operation of the market and inhibiting corruption, e-governance could encourage investment and increase the effectiveness of government programs and activities (Krishna and Walsham 2005). E-governance can also present developing countries with a unique opportunity to catch up with the developed world and enter the global economy by overcoming traditional barriers such as physical or telecommunications infrastructure (Basu 2004). This could be achieved by leaping over successive older generations of technology to newer, more efficient, and cheaper systems (Basu 2004). According to this rationale, the implementation of e-governance would increase developing countries’ competitiveness, enabling them to compete in global markets as external service providers (Basu 2004; Ndou 2004) whilst strengthening their governance institutions and rendering these more efficient, accountable and transparent. 33. On the other side, strong arguments can be made that e-governance does not necessarily contribute to such development opportunities and to good governance (Dada 2006). Bekkers and Homburg (2007) highlight a gap between rhetoric about e-government and implementation of e-government initiatives. Looking at policy documents from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark and the Netherlands, they suggest that there are strong myths about e-government, the inevitability of technological progress, rational planning and empowered citizens (Bekkers and Homburg 2007), while e- government initiatives are not used as primary outlets for government communication (Lau and others 2008). 34. The implementation of e-government can also be associated with a number of important challenges and risks. E-governance interventions tend to be resource-intensive (Wade 2002, p. 445), involve high costs (Alican 2007), and have a very high failure rate (Aykac and others 2009; Heeks 2001; Heeks 2003; Ndou 2004; Stanforth 2006). Heeks (2003) estimates that as little as one-seventh of such interventions are successful, which is an important consideration given the high cost of e-governance interventions and developing countries’ limited resources. Failed interventions can also have adverse effects on, for example, countries’ credit ratings (Stanforth 2006). Often e-governance initiatives involve gaps between design and reality, between the technology and the social environment, between public and private sector priorities and organizations, and between technologies for developed countries and systems in developing countries (Heeks 2003; Dada 2006; Alican 2007). 12 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW 35. Additionally, dependency in technological design and innovation is also a risk that merits consideration. ICT is often conceived and developed within a developed country context and exported to developing countries (Leye 2009, p. 31). Developing countries could become increasingly dependent on technological innovation conceptualized in and for a very different context (Wade 2002, p. 443; Leye 2009, p. 31). They also could risk becoming more vulnerable to the complexities of hardware and software, and reliant on providers of key ICT services (Wade 2002, p. 444). 36. The key technological innovation needed to foster greater efficiency, accountability and transparency in government and governance lies in information networks, and transferring government activity and interaction through new communication channels. Examples of this include using ICT for the payment of property tax or applying for driving licenses, limiting the scope for corruption, publishing central and municipal budgets online, increasing transparency, and paperless communication and operations within government departments, and strengthening accountability (Bhatnagar 2002). 37. The scope of the evidence base for the dynamic impacts of e-government interventions is narrow. Few studies consider long-term developmental impacts of e- government (Madon 2004). Chatfield and Alhujran (2009) suggest that e-government studies in Arab countries tend to be single-country studies. Though they compare across country- level studies (for example, Ciborra and Navarra 2005), their analysis remains static and they do not consider the impact of e-government initiatives, restricting their comparison to an analysis of the digital divide. A similar approach is taken by Lau and others (2008) in looking at the status of e-governance in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico; this study also refrains from assessing the ongoing impacts of e-governance through access and use of technologies. 38. E-government research primarily consists of studies involving observations and evaluations of e-government outputs and outcomes, with less attention to the processes and contexts that influence the realization of such outputs and outcomes. A few researchers have attempted empirical studies that consider the context and processes involved in e- government initiatives (Bellamy and Taylor 1998, Jonas 2000, and Fountain 2001); however, the evidence base for how processes and contexts contribute to ongoing outcomes in government activities and structures remains limited (Yildiz 2007). 39. In addition, very few cases of ICT impact on corruption have been independently audited (Bhatnagar 2003), even when successfully implemented. For instance, e-governance interventions are not always effective in fostering efficiency, accountability and transparency because funds are concentrated in other realms of governance than government, such as civil society. The relative ease of investing in e-governance interventions in realms of governance such as civil society, as opposed to government, makes such investments attractive to aid agencies. However, ICT may further increase the digital divide, depriving those without access or know-how of the chance to avail themselves of opportunities presented by ICT, further marginalizing the most deprived (Basu 2004; Vaccaro and Madsen 2009). 40. ICT infrastructure is often shown to play an important role in e-government interventions (Devadoss and others 2003; Gichoya 2005; Chen and others 2006). In order to 13 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW foster accountability, transparency, and efficiency, citizens must be able to access technology so they can use online government services. Access to and use of ICT have often been found to be influenced by infrastructure and connectivity (Hari 2000; Nayaran and Nerurkar 2006), such as telephone lines, high penetration of the internet, the presence of computers and/or the number of kiosks (Bhatnagar 2002). Depending on the local history of ICT development, the most appropriate technologies for e-government could vary. For instance, where mobile communications are more developed and stable than internet or fixed-line communications, mobile technology could become the primary mechanism for e-citizens and e-services. Limited availability of basic technological infrastructure could also present a significant challenge in this regard. Furthermore, even when basic infrastructures are in place, the high cost of broadband and internet connections limit the access to ICT and therefore the scope of e-governance interventions (Basu 2004; Ndou 2004; Ciborra and Navarra 2005). 41. Finally, data infrastructure can also be an important consideration. Data is needed to track the development of e-governance interventions and evaluate the cost and benefits of such projects (Ciborra and Navarra 2005). Furthermore, the compatibility of systems, as well as appropriate hardware and software, can allow for harnessing the benefits of e- government (Gupta, Dasgupta and others 2008). Internal e-governance projects require unified compatible systems to ensure communication flows, as well as consolidated databases with carefully recorded data to ensure effectiveness and good decision making (Basu 2004). This can include customized content that is available in local languages (Hari 2000; Nayaran and Nerurkar 2006). 42. Availability of resources and financing affects the feasibility of e-governance interventions (Devadoss and others 2003; Basu 2004; Gichoya 2005; Chen and others 2006). E-government initiatives often have long payback periods, and are subsequently capital intensive (Hari 2000; Nayaran and Nerurkar 2006). E-governance often requires ongoing investment from design through to implementation, and through the monitoring and evaluating of the scheme to upgrading the systems in place. This can prove to be especially challenging within a developing country context due to limited resources and dependency on aid programs, which are often implemented within a specific timeframe. 43. In addition, the regulatory environment can be key to the sustainability of e- governance by affecting the price and competitiveness of broadband (Aykac and others 2009; Fourati 2009). Labor laws and policies can also play an important part in determining how new tasks and rules are introduced, which in turn can affect performance (Ndou 2004). 44. In particular, e-governance mechanisms can be affected by the wider legal framework; compatibility between the legal framework and ICT requirements can assist in ensuring access to and use of ICT by different actors. For example, e-government initiatives involving e-payment or digital signatures require a supportive legal framework. Legal frameworks can also help in fostering trust in e-governance systems, and between citizens and governments (Basu 2004). A supportive and appropriate legal framework can be particularly important within a developing country context, where privacy and security issues can be obstacles to ICT uptake (Al-Jaghoub and others 2010; Basu 2004). 45. Wider political, economic, technological, social, and cultural contexts influence how e-government initiatives play out in developing countries across the domains of e- 14 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW administration, e-services and e-citizen, and e-society. The diversity of such contexts adds to the uncertainty about how e-governance will contribute to desired governance outcomes. 46. The theoretical arguments as to whether ICT foster good governance and maximize development outcomes remain vague and contradictory at times. It is also difficult to tease out continuities and strong supporting evidence in empirical studies as to what affects how e-government contributes to improved efficiency, transparency and accountability in government and governance. DESPITE FEARS THAT ICT MAY ENTRENCH THE DIGITAL DIVIDE ICT COULD SERVE AS A TOOL THAT PROMOTES GREATER EQUALITY 47. In some parts of the world, it is evident that ICT is contributing to “revolutionary changes in business and life,â€? but in others, they are creating greater disparities (Mansell 1999, p. 2). As societies become increasingly dependent on new or changed ICT, those who find access difficult are progressively marginalized and excluded. 48. ICT has the potential to be “a formidable and effective development toolâ€? that in some cases can allow “leapfroggingâ€? (Steinmueller 2001)—the idea that countries and societies can jump over one or more generations of technology and that poor nations can thus move more rapidly to the modern information age (Sunden and Wicander 2003, p.21). In the absence of supporting capacities and institutions, ICT may entrench inequality. ICT can enhance and magnify existing capacities and capabilities (Toyama 2010; Warschauer and Ames 2010) and thus may further increase inequalities, marginalize those without access or know-how by depriving them of the opportunities that ICT offers (Basu 2004; Vaccaro and Madsen 2009). 49. A dynamic perspective is needed to understand the relationship between ICT and social change. For evaluation purposes, this means finding evidence on impact is likely to be much more difficult than on process features such as project set up and operation. Hence, much of the literature leans towards process as opposed to impact of ICT (Sey and Fellows 2009). 50. Certain models of technology can foster inclusion. For example, the Universal Service model was intended to ensure that telecommunication services were available to customers for whom the marginal cost of providing access or service was above the private or commercial value, but below the societal value. Universal Service providers found ways to convert these customers to commercially viable ones, for instance, by encouraging them to make more calls and to seek employment, and buy goods and services over the communications network. As well, the Open Systems model, allowing anyone to connect, and “social distance-shrinkingâ€? technologies and models, such as shared lines, shared mobiles, and public points of presence, can mobilize local social inclusion. 51. Sensitivity to local and social context may help to enhance the usefulness of ICT- related efforts. Inclusion policies are necessary and important but their success may depend on such factors as: which groups are excluded from what; the different mechanisms, degrees and forms of exclusion; the boundaries of the groups; differences within and between groups; (perceived and actual) costs and benefits of exclusion and ways to produce 15 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW inclusion; and the duration of exclusion. For some, ICT may simply not be relevant in a context of immediate daily struggle for food, and other day-to-day pressures for survival. 52. Success of the programs that promote ICT usage with the goal of fostering equality is much greater if the contextual factors that underlie existing disparities in the developing countries are carefully considered and utilized. For instance, when considering gender issues, it is important to recognize that women in developing countries Evidence on the empowerment of women in rural Ghana and Nigeria using ICT programs indicate that their success can depend on diverse contextual circumstances and socioeconomic factors, ranging from polygamy, tribal differences, and membership of community organizations (Ogunlade 2006; Kwapong 2007). Rural women’s choices and willingness to pay for ICT can be systematically improved when local and regional contexts are well considered. 53. At an industrial level of analysis, the growth of an active ICT sector can provide opportunities for otherwise marginalized groups to find employment. However, policies and programs seeking to create growth and employment may find that existing inequalities seen in the broader fabric of society are reproduced if gendered roles, local customs, norms and practices that affect both labor markets and households are not taken into account (Arun and Arun 2002; Best, Thakur and others 2007; Best and Kumar 2008). Evidence suggests that a burgeoning ICT sector presents marginalized groups with greater opportunities when training programs allow them to approach the sector with easily recognizable skills (Braimah and King 2006). These examples indicate policies seeking sectoral and industrial growth in ICT are better served when accompanied with schemes that offer training and skills development at both local and national levels (Steinmueller 1995). 54. Evidence from Bangladesh and South Africa indicate that many public institutions such as universities and schools do not have systems and capacity that are sufficient for the accumulation of skills or for offering formal training (Roknuzzaman 2006; Chigona, Chigona and others 2010). Public institutions such as these stand to benefit from ICT-based projects and interventions that focus on skills and training that can then go on to make secondary impacts on the economy and poverty alleviation. 55. Overlooking the importance of training, learning, skills and the accumulation of technological capabilities may result in disappointments about technology transfer to developing countries. Simply supplying physical artifacts or discrete pieces of information is often insufficient in terms of “catch-upâ€? because making artifacts and information useful requires skills and capabilities on the part of the user (Bell and Pavitt 1993; Chataway and Wield 2000). Power does not reside in the information itself, it is in knowing how to make sense of it and being able to undertake actions with it (Sen 1999). The more knowledge that an individual has about technologies and about how to use them in particular business or social contexts, the more that individual is likely to benefit. Broad empirical findings on measuring access to information suggest that it is not a difficult task to access information, relative to the greater challenge of assessing the transformation of that data into meaningful knowledge (Avgerou 1998; Gigler 2004; Heeks 2005). 56. Rapid investment in physical capital is significant, but on its own is unlikely to meet optimistic expectations. It is partially in search of learning opportunities that the 16 APPENDIX B LITERATURE REVIEW excluded try and congregate amongst the more included, regardless of the state of ICT. Dhaka sees a net influx of 50 people an hour. But London also sees six people an hour, and New York sees double that, despite the fact that these countries have adopted and integrated ICT extensively. New ICT does not appear to have diminished the importance of distance to inclusion efforts: the phenomenon is still apparent across the world. It is difficult to overstate the importance of the role that formal and more tacit forms of training and experience can play in helping to maximize technological benefit, as digital divides persist even in urban settings and entire sections of the urban population fail to benefit from the skills, education and support necessary to become and remain connected with ICT (Graham 2002). 17 Appendix C. Survey IEG conducted a survey to seek the views of World Bank task team leaders about their experiences in including (or not including) ICT in the operations they manage. The survey was sent to 1,048 task team leaders of IBRD and IDA operations approved between 2003 and 2010, including both investment and development policy operations. Task team leaders were asked to fill in the questionnaire referring to their most recently approved project. Only task team leaders that were active staff were contacted, and 74 percent of them (774 task team leaders) answered the survey. According to the responses, surveyed task team leaders have been working at the World Bank for an average of over 10 years; 49 percent are based in the field and 51 percent in Headquarters. The survey was conducted using a web-based program to create a user-friendly electronic on-line questionnaire, which included both, multiple choice and open-ended questions, 20 questions total. Questions were related to the role played by ICT in the operations, sources and effectiveness of support on ICT issues, factors that enabled or constrained achievement of results, and collaboration within Bank Group and with other stakeholders.

Is there anything else you think the evaluation should be aware of regarding ICT in Bank operations? 304 responses were received and here are a few examples. “The potential for ICT driven impact on Bank operations varies across sectors but it is rarely factored in as a specific deliverable. Client awareness, disposition and willingness to include direct ICT support at project design stage are crucial for its successâ€?. “(1) Bank’s procurement guidelines related to ICT need to be updated and enforced consistently throughout the institution. (2) Procurement specialists’ capacity of reviewing ICT documents needs to be substantially strengthened. (3) Supervision budget for projects with big ICT components should be increased for proper supervisionâ€?. “I think we should always try to find a way of including ICT components, whether in health, education, microfinance and any other because ICT has many applications that can reduce transaction costs, lessen information asymmetry and provide access in many of our interventions. Task Teams should ask themselves whether ICT can resolve any of the above for them. But the teams need ICT expertise in terms of concepts and especially when it comes to procurement. Many governments are not eager to sponsor large ICT operations where the Bank is involved because of the onerous procurement processes associated with these kinds of interventionsâ€?. “All I can say is that task team leaders have not been sensitized to the value of including ICT in operations, especially DPLsâ€?. “The Bank does not manage ICT components very well. We need technical support within the Bank, beyond specialist procurement reviews, to be able to give quality advise on technology choices and technical specifications, supervise (with additional budget since this requires an expert who is not normally a part of skill set required for supervision). Because of lack of advice, procurement difficulties, delays in implementation, costly preparation and supervision, I see a strong reluctance in the task team leaders and the management to support ICT. That is a pity since ICT can be extremely helpful in improving transparency, governance, accountability, service delivery, and value enhancement of services. Instead of being on the cutting edge of this exceptionally useful tool, the Bank is shying away from it in projects while it is making very good use of it in its own operations- that is an unbelievable inconsistency. ICT is not the magic wand but it is an enabler of efficiency and effectiveness of policies. I hope this survey brings out some of the constraints facing the teams, increase management attention to use of ICT in our operations, and mobilize the necessary resources and management supportâ€?. 25 APPENDIX C SURVEY Demographics of question 1 Includes no ICT Includes ICT Total Active projects 199 395 594 Closed projects 98 82 180 DPLs 79 48 127 Investments 218 429 647 Task team leader on the field 125 229 354 Task team leader in HQ 153 221 374 Not answered 19 27 46 Average of years in the Bank 10 10 10 Region Africa 98 127 225 E.
