CIIP
Competitive Industries and Innovation Program
The Competitive Industries and Innovation Program provides valuable support to high potential country initiatives and expands the global knowledge frontier on “how to� effectively design and implement competitiveness and innovation strategies as part of a new and emerging growth paradigm.
The Competitive Industries and Innovation Program (CIIP) helps enhance country growth and employment prospects by supporting public policies and investments that promote competitiveness and innovation within and across industries. CIIP achieves impact by mobilizing global expertise, applying cutting-edge knowledge, and catalyzing investments in support of transformational projects and frontier knowledge initiatives.
VISION AND PURPOSE
GOVERNANCE
CIIP envisions for its interventions to significantly alter country economic and job growth prospects by supporting transformational projects. To realize this vision, CIIP aims to add value in three ways:
CIIP is overseen by a joint Steering Committee consisting of all development partners supporting the program. The program is implemented as two World Bank Group-executed trust funds. The Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF), supported by the governments of Austria and Switzerland as well as the European Union (EU), was established in November 2012. The Single-Donor Trust Fund (SDTF) financed through the EU European Development Fund (EDF) and hence with the specific geographic focus on the African Caribbean, and Pacific states, was established in July 2013. Norway joined CIIP in December 2014 by contributing to the MDTF. As Trustee and Administrator for both the funds, the World Bank Group is responsible for program development, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The World Bank also hosts the Secretariat that oversees CIIP.
1. Supporting integrated solutions for the design and implementation of public policies and investments that promote competitiveness and innovation in high potential industries and countries. These solutions in turn help motivate investment, enhance firm level productivity, enable value chain integration and cluster growth, and contribute to job creation. 2. Pushing the knowledge frontier on “what works” in competitiveness and innovation by sharing lessons in real time from its active country engagements and by motivating cutting edge operational research across its global network of academic, policy, and industry actors. 3. Raising the awareness of practitioners on contemporary industrial policy across countries. The Program mobilizes global expertise, applies cutting-edge knowledge, and catalyzes investments in support of transformational projects and frontier knowledge initiatives. The instruments that facilitate country level engagements with governments, the private sector, and other stakeholders include: •
technical, market-based analytics
•
deep, evidence-based public-private dialogue (PPD) in specific sectors
•
support for policy and regulations, access to finance, skills and technology, infrastructure, and capacity
•
multi-year project implementation support
•
monitoring and evaluation to assess impact
Strategic application of performance-based funding and rigorous monitoring and evaluation ensure that CIIP remains focused on results. Critical success factors driving CIIP, include: facilitated public and private investment; enhanced productivity; labor and transaction costs; growth of new and existing firms; linkages to the domestic economy; and job and income creation.
FUNDING PROCESS All CIIP interventions are based on client demand as expressed by governments in discussions with World Bank Group (IBRD and IDA as well as IFC) teams and other CIIP partners in the country. Applications for CIIP funding come from World Bank Group project teams, with all CIIP projects implemented under the guidance of the World Bank Country Director or Manager and executed jointly with other CIIP partners.
INTERVENTIONS Within its first year of operation CIIP began implementing 12 high-potential country operations alongside an ambitious global knowledge agenda.
Through end of FY14, CIIP country operations leveraged US$5 billion in public finance, and supported the creation of over 5000 new jobs CIIP-funded initiatives supported new national legislation and regulatory reforms to promote competitiveness in Ethiopia, Georgia, and Macedonia. Through its institutional capacity building and infrastructure development, CIIP supported policy reforms that enhanced the governance of a technological industrial development zone in Macedonia, and the establishment of innovation and enterprise development agencies in Georgia, among others.
Results at a glance During the fiscal year 2014, CIIP-funded activities have supported the design and implementation of industryfocused competitiveness strategies and policy reform initiatives in 12 carefully selected project countries. Through its knowledge, learning and publishing activities – including a high-profile conference at the World Bank in October 2013, which assembled some of the world’s leading scholars on economic policy– CIIP’s ideas have influenced the thinking of thousands of policymakers, private-sector executives and academic scholars.
