and evaluation, and reporting.
As noted in the MTR, the 2017 ToC overall is still relevant and broadly effective at representing
the results pathways; CIWA 2.0 includes more specific change-related pathways and
outcomes, while being explicit about underlying assumptions and risks and better reflecting
CIWA’s focus on cross-cutting priorities.

To that end, the CIWA 2.0 ToC elevates the cross-cutting sectors as the pathways for change that
deliver the regional outcomes (Figure 2). This new formulation also anticipates aligning where
possible with the new World Bank Scorecard.

With the new World Bank Scorecard FY24-FY30 placing results in the development context of client
countries, CIWA shifted its 2.0 ToC and RF to align with these principles. The Scorecard comprises four
building blocks: vision indicators, client context indicators, World Bank results indicators, and results
narratives. Vision indicators reflect the new vision of the World Bank, showing its ambition and
providing high-level measures to gauge the direction and pace of progress in tackling global
challenges. Client context indicators reflect the circumstances in client countries, including
multidimensional asp ects of poverty, and are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Furthermore, quantitative World Bank results indicators alone do not present the total landscape of
results. Results narratives complement the indicators by connecting results to broader World Bank-

influenced outcomes and linkages to IFC and MIGA.

For CIWA, results narratives describe the many impactful operations it funds that support policy
reforms, institution building, and other impacts that CIWA operations influence. CIWA’s process- and
output-level indicators measure results that can be directly attributed to a CIWA operation, while
impact and higher-outcome indicators usually measure CIWA’s contribution as having influenced
delivery of the result.

The GESI and biodiversity framework ToCs organize results according to the three s and whether they
are a direct action or an influence of CIWA. The FCV framework and climate resilience assessment do
not have specific ToCs, but the overall CIWA 2.0 ToC and RF capture relevant actions and results in
those areas. Figure 3 shows CIWA’s pathways to impact and a description of how results are tracked
with respect to each of the three Is.

The CIWA FY24 Annual Report provides details on how CIWA’s work on climate resilience, biodiversity

and conservation, GESI, and support to FCV-affected regions manifest in the CIWA 2.0 ToC and RF.
