成果方案（PforR）是世界银行融资的一个创新工具，它将付款与国家确定的方案的成果联系起来。这一最近通过的文书力求使受援国在设计和执行其发展进程方面有更大的参与感、独立感和自主感。因此，消除贫穷促进发展方案的一个关键方面是能力发展-加强国家机构履行职能、解决问题以及制定和实现将导致可持续发展进展的目标的能力。本文件将审查世界银行的PforR法律的框架是否有可能加强能力发展的明确目标。特别是，本文件将评估在何种程度上的具体支付挂钩指标在尼泊尔目前的PforR项目反映这一目标。最后，本文将讨论（一）确保计划资格和实施的适当基线标准（从世界银行的风险分配角度来看）和（二）通过更多地依赖国家系统实现能力发展之间的明显紧张关系。虽然PforR有可能比传统的基于交易的方法产生更深刻和更持久的发展影响，但它也有被视为降低世界银行保障标准的风险。
: Program-for-results (PforR) is an innovative instrument of World Bank financing which links disbursements to results in country-defined programs. This recently adopted instrument seeks to give recipient countries a greater sense of participation, independence and ownership over the design and implementation of their development progress. Accordingly, a key dimension of PforR is capacity development – strengthening the ability of State institutions to perform functions, solve problems and set and achieve objectives that will lead to sustainable development progress. This paper will examine whether the World Bank’s legal framework for PforR is likely to enhance the explicit goal of capacity development. In particular, this paper will assess the extent to which the specific disbursement-linked indicators in a current PforR project in Nepal reflect this goal. Finally, this paper will address the apparent tension between (i) ensuring adequate baseline standards for program eligibility and implementation (from the World Bank’s risk allocation perspective), and (ii) achieving capacity development through greater reliance on country systems. While PforR has the potential to achieve deeper and more sustained development impact than traditional transactions-based approaches, it also runs the risk of being perceived as a lowering of the World Bank’s safeguard standards.
