ANALYSIS

The EBRD scores 24.5%, placing it in the poor category. It is the lowest ranking of both IFIs and multilateral organisations included in the Index. However, it does score for publishing performance information and posts scores above the poor category average on organisation planning, activity classification information and the provision of project documents. It lags on commitment indicators and on organisation and activity financial information. It is the only IFI to not score on the total budget indicator. It scores lower than all other IFIs on commitment, organisation and activity financial information. Of the 22 indicators that take format into account, none are published by the EBRD in machine-readable formats, even though 12 of these are published in other formats on its website. The EBRD does not score on 14 of the 39 indicators included in the Index.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• The EBRD should join IATI and begin publishing to the IATI standard in 2014 so it can aim towards compliance with the standard by the end of 2015.
• It should produce an ambitious implementation schedule by early 2014 that aims to fully implement the IATI standard by the end of 2015.
• The EBRD should work with IATI to develop specific guidance and an extension to the IATI standard for IFIs and DFIs.
