7 Introduction At a meeting in Stockholm on September 2, 26 a group of donors decided to approach five partner countries to ask whether they would be interested in evaluating total ODA effectiveness over an extended period of time in their respective countries. This note presents statistical profiles for these five partner countries. The profiles are based on data from the World Bank s World Development Indicators database (WDI) 1, the UNDP s Human Development statistics, the UN Department for Economic and Social Affair s World Population Prospect database and the OECD/DAC s online database on development cooperation. The figures, trends, etc. are presented without any analysis or interpretation. The period covered is 198 to 2. When complete data series are available, they are normally plotted as unbroken curves, as in the figure with GDP per capita curves for the five partner countries below. 2 2 Burkina Fasu Ghana Mali Mozambique Zambia GDP per capita (PPP, constant 2 prices) Figure 1: GDP per capita For some variables observations are lacking for some (or many) years. In those cases the series are plotted as broken curves (as in the figure below of the primary education completion rates) or displayed in a bar diagram (as in Figure 1) and sometimes given in the text or in a table. 1 The bulk of the information in this note is extracted from the WDI. 1

8 Completion rate (% of relevant age group) Figure 2: Primary education completion rates i Burkina Faso Ghana Mali Mozambique Some variables are presented as sub-period averages rather than as annual data series, as in the table below of life expectancy. Table 1: Life expectancy at birth ii Zambia Country Burkina Faso Ghana Mali Mozambique Zambia Although much effort is made to collect and improve data, the reader should use it with some caution, not least because of the difficulty of correctly including information on unregistered activities in official data. 2 2 Friedrich Schneider and Robert Klinglmair in their study of Shadow economies around the world: what do we know estimated that shadow economy in percent of GDP the year 2 was 38% for Burkina Faso and Ghana, 41% for Mali, 4% for Mozambique and 49% for Zambia. 2

All figures are 24 year s values. Population, GDP, GNI and school enrolment are from World Bank Key Statistics. Life expectancy from WDI, and ODA figures from OECD/DAC s online database. Burkina Faso is a poor country with social indicators ranking below the averages for Sub- Saharan Africa. The turmoil in Burkina Faso s neighbouring country Côte d Ivoire is straining the economy and especially its trade. In 2, Burkina Faso prepared a PRSP that was later updated for the period Burkina Faso is a parliamentary democracy with a president as head of state. Legislative elections were held in a satisfactory manner in May 22. The CDP (Le Congrès pour la Démocratie et le Progrès, the party of the president) won, taking 64% of the votes. Paramanga Ernest Yonli was confirmed as Prime Minister. The last presidential elections were held in November 2. The elections were deemed fair by international observers. Blaise Compaoré won a third term of five years. Municipal elections took place in April 26 resulting in first time election of local governments for 32 newly established rural communes.

Ghana is a multiparty republic with a president who serves both as Chief of State and as Head of Government. The last elections at the local levels were held in 22. In December 24 presidential and parliament elections were held. The New Patriotic Party s candidate, John A. Kufour, won the poll for a second term in office. There are two dominant parties in Ghana (the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress). The political landscape is interesting and competitive, as demonstrated by the recent by-elections that were won by the opposition with a fairly high margin. In 22 the Government of Ghana adopted the Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS). Development partner coordination is strong in Ghana. A group of donors aligned their support to the GPRS under a common Multi-Donor Budgetary Support framework in 23. The GPRS II was issued in early 26 and the donors are in the process of updating their budgetary support framework.

Like Burkina Faso, Mali is a poor land-locked country in West Africa. The economy is vulnerable to weather conditions and fluctuating terms of trade. Mali is a republic with a president as Head of State. The president appoints the Prime Minister. The presidential election in May 22 resulted in Amadou Toumani Touré being elected for a five-year term. In July the same year elections was held for the national assembly. Mali is ruled by a multiparty government. In 22 the government adopted a PRSP for the period Below follows information on selected economic and social indicators for the period

Though progress has been made, Mozambique is a very poor country. The president is the Head of State and is elected for five years as are the members of the republic s assembly. The two dominant parties are FRELIMO (Frente de Libertação de Moçambique) and RENAMO (Resistência Nacional Moçambicana). Elections were held in 24 for both the presidency and the national assembly. Armando Guebuza (the FRELIMO candidate) won the presidential election. In the parliamentary elections FRELIMO got 62% of the votes. The elections were criticised for not being conducted in a fair and transparent manner by the National Electoral Commission and others. The donors are supporting Mozambique s Action Plan for Reduction of Absolute Poverty (PARFA Mozambique s PRSPs) that was approved by the Council of Ministers in 21. The government has recently finalised a second PRSP/PARFA. Below follows information on selected economic and social indicators for the period

All figures are 24 year s values. Population, GDP, GNI and school enrolment are from World Bank Key Statistics. Life expectancy from WDI, and ODA figures from OECD/DAC s online database. The president of Zambia is both Chief of State and Eead of Government. A unicameral national assembly is the legislative body. The Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) is the dominant party. Levy Mwanawasa (the MMD candidate) won the presidential election in 21 and the MMD also got most (though not the majority) of the votes in the election for the national assembly. The election results were widely disputed. In the recently held parliamentary and presidential elections President Mwanawasa won a second term in office. The later elections were regarded as having been more professionally conducted than previous ones. The Government of Zambia developed a PRSP for the period that was extended to cover 2. Through a Joint Assistance Strategy the donors currently plan to support Zambia s th National Development Plan that outlines Government s plan to reduce poverty and enhance growth. An important recent development is Zambia s attainment of the HIPC completion point last year. As a result of the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative Zambia has had it external debt reduced from around $7.1 billion to $. billion which will free resources for other purposes.

It is calculated by taking the total number of students in the last grade of primary school, minus the number of repeaters in that grade, divided by the total number of children of official graduation age. ii Source: United Nations Population Division. (data downloaded ). iii When calculating GPD per capita PPP the PPP exchange rate is used instead of actual the exchange rate. PPP stands for purchasing power parity, a criterion for an appropriate exchange rate between currencies. It is a rate such that a representative basket of goods in country A costs the same as in country B if the currencies are exchanged at that rate. iv The human development index (HDI) is a composite index that measures the average achievements in a country within three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, as measured by life expectancy at birth; knowledge, as measured by the adult literacy rate and the combined gross enrolment ratio for primary, secondary and tertiary schools; and a decent standard of living, as measured by GDP per capita in 46

53 purchasing power parity (PPP) US dollars. The line in the graph connects the HDI for the years 198, 199, 199, 2 and 23. The calculation of the HDI at these intervals is based on a consistent methodology and on comparable trend data available when 2 the Human Development Report was prepared. v Adult is defined as age Source: 26 Report on the global AIDS epidemic, UNAIDS/WHO, May 26. vi Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of represents perfect equality, while an index of 1 implies perfect inequality. vii The first column lists the population in different groups according to their income ranking while respective groups share (%) of the total income is given in the second column. Looking at Table 3, for example, in first row we have Lowest 1% in the first column, which means the ten percent of the population with the lowest income in Burkina Faso. Column two says that this group only receives 2.77 % of the total income. With a perfectly equal distribution of incomes the poorest 1% of the population would receive 1% of the total income. viii Source: the WDI online data-base. Definitions: Poverty gap (1 $) Poverty gap at $1 a day (PPP) (%): Poverty gap is the mean shortfall from the poverty line (counting the nonpoor as having zero shortfall), expressed as a percentage of the poverty line. This measure reflects the depth of poverty as well as its incidence. Data showing as. signifies a poverty gap of less than. percent. Poverty gap (2 $) Poverty gap at $2 a day (PPP) (%): Poverty gap is the mean shortfall from the poverty line (counting the nonpoor as having zero shortfall), expressed as a percentage of the poverty line. This measure reflects the depth of poverty as well as its incidence. Data showing as. signifies a poverty gap of less than. percent. Head count (1 $) Poverty headcount ratio at $1 a day (PPP) (% of population): Population below $1 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $1.8 a day at 1993 international prices. As a result of revisions in PPP exchange rates, poverty rates cannot be compared with poverty rates reported previously for individual countries. Data showing as 2. signifies a poverty rate of less than 2. percent. Head count (2$) Poverty headcount ratio at $2 a day (PPP) (% of population): Population below $2 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $2.1 a day at 1993 international prices. As a result of revisions in PPP exchange rates, poverty rates cannot be compared with poverty rates reported previously for individual countries. Data showing as 2. signifies a poverty rate of less than 2. percent. Poverty headcount ratio at national poverty line (% of population): National poverty rate is the percentage of the population living below the national poverty line. National estimates are based on population-weighted subgroup estimates from household surveys. Head count rural Poverty headcount ratio at rural poverty line (% of rural population): Rural poverty rate is the percentage of the rural population living below the national rural poverty line. Head count urban Poverty headcount ratio at urban poverty line (% of urban population): Urban poverty rate is the percentage of the urban population living below the national urban poverty line. ix The relative distribution of ODA total net disbursements 2-24, for the ten larges donors and the remaining donors summarized as Others.
