Objective 4:

Economic Growth

Indicators and Definitions

NOTE: Offerors must note that only those indicators that appear under Trade and Investment Capacity can be used as standard indicators for purposes of the proposed program. If there are other indicators under other sections such as

Trade Enabling Environment or Private Sector Competitiveness, these are not considered standard for this RFP, but may be proposed as custom indicators.

Handbook Guidance

Overview Economic growth is a broad subject matter, with eight discrete and conceptually distinct areas. As such, many indicators were developed so the USG can accurately capture the most relevant activities pertaining to its development programs in economic growth. Each element has, on average, five indicators. Operating Units may not have programming in all elements and thus, will not be expected to report on all indicators. OUs will be expected to report on a subset of the entire list of indicators within the program elements they are funding. Please select the indicators—for the elements that have received funding—that best represent the activities occurring in the assistance program.

Note:

The following indicator was moved from the “Clean Human Environment” element (8.2) to the “Natural Resources and Biodiversity” element (8.1):

Number of USG-supported initiatives/mechanisms designed to reduce the potential for violent conflict over the control, exploitation, trade or protection of natural resources

Guidance on Trade and Investment Indicators:

The following two indicators are very similar to the indicators found under the Program Design and Learning

Element. Please use the Trade-specific indicators in lieu of those found under Program Support if a diagnostic is being conducted that is relevant to either of Trade and Investment elements (2.1 and 2.2).

Number of Trade and Investment Environment diagnostics conducted (Element 2.1); and

Number of Trade and Investment capacity building diagnostics conducted (Element 2.2).

INDICATOR TITLE: 4.2.1-1 NUMBER OF CONSULTATIVE PROCESSES WITH PRIVATE SECTOR AS A

RESULT OF USG ASSISTANCE

DEFINITION:

As a result of USG assistance, how many consultative events did the host government hold to consult a broadly representative cross-section of the private sector and civil society on trade policy issues?

For example, the USG advisory committee system for trade policy includes all sectors, industrial, agricultural, and services, and non-governmental organizations, which provide input and guidance to the Administration.

RATIONALE:

Often, trade agreements meet skepticism or outright hostility in developing countries due in part to a lack of input by civil society and the private sector into the preparation and negotiation processes. In many cases, developing countries do not have a mechanism in place to solicit and evaluate input from civil society or the private sector, or if they do, it is poorly managed. This indicator reveals whether or not USG assistance has succeeded in promoting broader and more meaningful participation in the development of a country‘s trade policy, which will lead to more effective implementation of the trade policy.

INDICATOR TITLE: 4.2.1-2 NUMBER OF CUSTOMS HARMONIZATION PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED STANDARDS AS A RESULT OF U.S.

ASSISTANCE

DEFINITION:

This indicator will count the number of Customs harmonization measures implemented, such as the World Customs Organization Kyoto Convention on the Simplification and Harmonization of Customs Procedures, the World Trade Organization Customs Valuation Agreement, a U.S. Free Trade Agreement chapter on customs, or regional harmonization protocols. Assistance programs should use these international agreements as guides to count specific measures a recipient country partner have implemented a result of U.S. assistance.

RATIONALE:

The ability to efficiently facilitate the flow of goods across borders is paramount in today‘s competitive global marketplace. Overly burdensome and costly customs procedures and regulations stifle technology transfer, innovation, investment, development, and competitiveness. Customs Harmonization frameworks such as the Kyoto Convention provide important guidelines to improve the predictability and efficiency of Customs Authorities and lowers trade transaction costs.

INDICATOR TITLE: 4.2.1-5 NUMBER OF LEGAL, REGULATORY, OR INSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS (NOT

MENTIONED ABOVE) TAKEN TO IMPROVE IMPLEMENTATION OR COMPLIANCE WITH

INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS DUE TO SUPPORT FROM USG-ASSISTED

ORGANIZATIONS

DEFINITION:

Number of legal, regulatory, or institutional actions (not mentioned above) taken to improve implementation or compliance with international trade and investment agreements partly or fully due to analysis or advocacy by USG-assisted organizations.

This indicator will require judgment in the field to separate out what counts as an ―action‖. The general intention of this outcome-level indicator is to capture changes to trade related governance including passing legislation, developing regulations, and implementing organizational changes to institutions to improve their operations to conform to international best practices. For example, missions might count procedural reforms and institutional actions taken to implement the enforcement provisions in Part III of the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.

RATIONALE:

Attracting trade and investment is critical for successful integration into the global economy, and may be a predominant source of technology transfer, market awareness, workforce development, trade expansion and economic growth. Laws and regulations that are inconsistent with international agreement are likely to impede trade and investment in most countries. The indicator can be plausibly linked to USG assistance.

INDICATOR TITLE: 4.2.1-7 NUMBER OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR STANDARDS-SETTING

BODIES THAT HAVE ADOPTED INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED GUIDELINES FOR STANDARD

SETTING AS A RESULT OF USG ASSISTANCE

DEFINITION:

The number of public and private sector standards-setting bodies that have accepted the code of good practice for the preparation, adoption and application of standards in accordance with internationally accepted guidelines for standards setting such as Annex 3 of the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT). Such guidelines establish disciplines with respect to central government, local government, non-governmental and regional standardizing bodies developing both mandatory and voluntary industrial standards. The Code of Good Conduct in Annex 3 of the WTO TBT Agreement is open for acceptance by any standardizing body. WTO Members are responsible for the acceptance and compliance with the Code of Good Practice by their central government standardizing bodies. Furthermore, they are required to take such reasonable measures as may be available to them to ensure also that local government and non-governmental standardizing bodies, and regional standardizing bodies of which they are members, accept and comply with such codes. See www.wto.org for more information on the Agreement.

RATIONALE:

USG technical assistance related to standards helps countries comply with their obligations under the WTO or other trade agreements. This indicator measures the extent to which a country is implementing the Code of Good Practice. Compliance with this Code helps prevent disguised barriers to trade, promotes free and open competition, and leads to improved productivity and competitiveness. As bodies notify the WTO on a continuous basis, changes in the number of bodies notifying could indicate improvement or problems with compliance.

TRADE TALKS ATTRIBUTABLE TO USG ASSISTANCE

DEFINITION:

The number of new requests, offers, revised offers, or other formal text that are submitted by a host country as part of international trade talks attributable to USG assistance

RATIONALE:

Explain how it measures the Program Element. As countries negotiate multilateral, regional and bilateral trade agreements (including accession to the World Trade Organization), they make offers to their counterparts, receive responses, and then revise their offers. Countries that are unfamiliar with this process, or that are uncertain of what their offers should be, tend to make fewer offers or participate by making submissions or exchanging agreement text in a trade negotiation. This is especially true of developing countries. In a robust trade negotiation, offers, requests and proposed agreement texts are exchanged frequently until an agreement is reached. In negotiations that are languishing, offers are not exchanged. USG assistance to understand international agreements enables countries to make better offers and reach an agreement.
