AGENDA Program for Results (PforR) Client Event for South Asia and East Asia and Pacific Regions Overview The Program-for-Results (PforR) instrument was approved by the World Bank Board of Executive Directors in 2012. Since its creation, there has been a steady increase in the use of the PforR instrument by our client countries. In response to the major findings of the 2-year review of implementation experiences and building on the success of PforR peer-to-peer learning events for staff, the World Bank is embarking on 3 client learning events to share practical experiences and good practices across its client countries. The first client event was held in Tanzania in June 2016 for the Africa region. The second event is taking place in Bangkok, Thailand on December 12-14, 2016 covering clients in East Asia and Pacific (EAP) and South Asia (SAR) Regions. The third event will take place next year to cover clients in the rest of the regions. Objectives Enhance the understanding and use of the PforR instrument amongst EAP and SAR client countries Enhance participants network for exchanging experiences in preparation and implementation of PforR operations Increase World Bank staff understanding of client countries perspectives of the PforR instrument and how better to facilitate its adoption by client countries in SAR and EAP regions Overall Format The 2-1/2 day event will start with ½ day training on the basics of the PforR instrument followed by 1 day of panel discussions structured in an interview format to share experiences on cross cutting issues and a 2nd day of sector/thematic break out groups to discuss experiences in using PforR instrument in more details at the sectoral/thematic level.
