3. Mapping for Results
Information available, but
not easy to visualize
Geo-coding: makes project
data more accessible
Visualize project locations
and MDGs at country level
4. Main Objectives
• Enhance Monitoring of Results: to better monitor,
track and report results
• Improve targeting of WB Operations: to address
MDGs
• Improve Transparency and Social Accountability:
to increase accessibility to WB operations and their
outcomes
• Establish Feedback Loop: to empower citizens and
CSOs to provide direct feedback on development
outcomes
5. Mapping at Various Levels
Regions Countries
Sectors Projects

7. Progress so far
• Maps for all 144 IBRD and IDA countries developed
• More than 38,000 project locations mapped
combined with sub-national MDG indictors
(poverty, infant mortality, malnutrition)
• Visualized geographic locations for 2,500 active
Bank projects
• Provided quick graphic overview of how the WB is
doing in terms of reaching its development
objectives
• Initiated Open Aid Pilots with aidData for Malawi,
Bolivia, Kenya, Tanzania and Nepal
11. From Objective Data to Social Content

Geostories can help us learn how to better visualize and communicate the
social context – an important element of the feedback loop
18. On Track is a program that facilitates direct feedback
loops between citizens, governments and WB project
teams. The platform uses innovative approaches of
ICTs (SMS, Mapping and Social Media) to strengthen
existing social accountability mechanisms by
collecting, tracking and reporting citizens feedback
about project-specific development outcomes.
OnTrack - Aim

OnTrack – Why:
Closing the feedback loop
20. Adjusting the tools according to each countries’ needs
• Multiple feedback channels blending online and off-line methods
• SMS
• Social Media (facebook, twitter, etc.)
•Inter-active Mapping
• Community Radios
• Working together with governments, PIUs and Task teams to
define needs at the local level
• Establishment of a feedback mechanism and a ticketing system
that provides a transparent system that promotes social
accountability mechanisms
OnTrack - How
21. Implementation of Citizen Feedback Pilots
In different local At the local
contexts community level
In multiple sectors:
- Agriculture
- Education
- Urban
- Health and Nutrition
- Community Driven Development
Building on existing
social accountability Use a blend of
processes

26. Open Aid Partnership (OAP)
• Open Aid Map a common platform to show
locations of donor programs
• Country Platforms for open aid flows and public
expenditures
• Citizen Feedback Loops to promote citizen
engagement in the delivery of public services
• Capacity Development to empower CSOs and
Citizens to effectively use and generate data
• Impact Evaluations to assess the impact of open aid
on development outcomes
27. Open Aid Partnership
• Geo-coding of
donor-financed
projects based on
IATI standard
• Joint Open Aid Map
for better aid
coordination
(AidData)
• Visualize projects of
27 donors combined
with poverty data
