Prior to the review period 5 projects were completed. During this review period 22 projects / assignments
were successfully completed1. KPP’s successful implementation makes it a unique multi-sectoral and
multi-country programme of DFID India. Of the 22 on-going projects, 9 will end by December 2014.
The project has made good progress and engaged with a large number of partners and governments. It
has been able to engage on global policy issues (MDGs), promote international best practices
(Agricultural Market Information System), take Indian experience to LICs (SHGs, RTI, MGNREGS),
promote innovation (Safetipin (ALS), Brilliance (D-REV)), facilitate discussions (Renewable Energy
(IRENA), Economic Development (Sankalp), Social Franchising in Health (HLFPPT)) and also address
key issues of Indian policy (foreign trade, taxation and accountability, HDI etc.). KPP has been
successful in promoting cross-learning with Ethiopia and Nepal. It has also leveraged funds and
opportunities for partners (such as Sankalp, ALS (Safetipin), D-Rev) who are now able to take forward
their ideas / innovations to the developing world.

Summary of recommendations for the next year:
1. KPP task team to review programme finances and timelines and explore possibility of foreclosure
by December 2015. Team to also take actions to identify programmes/activities for funds that are
currently available and may become available due to foreclosure in December 2015.
2. Task team to develop a proper governance structure that ensures approval and monitoring of
different activities of the programme at appropriate levels. In particular, decisions on nomination
based contracting should be taken up to the Head of Office level as required.
3. Knowledge sharing processes need to be driven by a stronger communication strategy that sets
out more clearly how KPP will engage stakeholders and inform the approaches of technical,
policy and civil society actors in developing countries. This includes identification of key
stakeholders, important networks and upcoming global events. Develop a data base of relevant
stakeholders to initiate discussions and share findings. Aim for targeted advocacy at least in one
area under each of the thematic groups.
4. Next year being final year of KPP’s operations, a more in-depth analysis of results achieved by
the 9 high impact activities should be carried out.
5. Gender should be mainstreamed across the four thematic work streams.
6. Assess the Global facing and India facing impact of KPP as part of the wider global programme
mapping process and take necessary corrective steps as recommended.

Outline of Programme
Introduction: Why is the intervention needed?
India is central to every global deal that the UK cares about, including on trade, climate change and a
post-MDG Framework and will be an essential player in all global efforts for poverty reduction. India’s
direct impact on poverty in low income countries (LICs) is also growing. Many developing countries
benefit from India’s market leadership in the provision of low cost generic medicines; its trade and
investment links and its provision of soft loans. There is increasing demand from developing countries to
learn from India’s development model, innovation and research capability in key development sectors. At
the same time there are 400 million people in India living on less than 80p per day. As such, India has a
key contribution to make to international efforts to achieve the MDGs, to shape what follows after 2015
and to support the eradication of global poverty.
There is strong demand from Indian policymakers and opinion formers for analysis and evidence to
underpin policy, but as yet this demand is not being met by India’s policy community. By supporting
targeted analysis, expert advice, policy dialogues, and improved partnership-building around key global
public goods issues, KPP will help to ensure that Indian policymakers and partners work together to
access the right information at the right time, and that policymaking and international negotiations are
better informed and more pro-poor, ultimately benefitting poor people in India and globally.
Outline of the programme: What support?
The Knowledge Partnership Programme (KPP) was launched in 2012 as a vehicle to promote
evidence generation and uptake on global and national policy issues in India and from India to other Low
Income Countries (LICs). KPP seeks to enhance collaboration on ideas, knowledge, technology and
innovation to expedite learning between India and LICs for improved development outcomes. It does this
through partnering with institutions for studies and initiatives which a) gather and promote uptake of
[AUTHOR NAME]
3
evidence on issues central to India’s impact on global poverty and b) share Indian evidence, best
practice and expertise with LICs.
KPP feeds into the objectives of DFID India i.e. (a) strengthen global deals, dialogues and public goods
(b) shape global markets and (c) share Indian innovations (technologies, institutions, policies) with
potential for addressing food /nutrition security and resource scarcity challenges in developing countries.
KPP seeks to create a knowledge base of India’s development efforts / successes in the high potential
areas of: Health, Nutrition and Disease Control; Women and Girls; Food Security, Resource Scarcity &
Climate Change; and Trade and Investment and Development Effectiveness. These Knowledge
Products are expected to inform decision making (designing / improving / enhancing delivery) of public
services and welfare schemes in India and LICs. This initiative is expected to strengthen UK-India-LIC
partnership and significantly contribute to global development opportunities.
Expected Key Results:
Impact:
India-LIC partnerships facilitated by UK significantly contributes to global development
opportunities. (i) 3 LICs leverage funds / partnerships in India (through formal arrangements) for
development assistance. (ii) At least one global development agreement informed by India’s
development experience (government / private / CSO).
Outcome: KPP Analysis / Knowledge Products used in designing / improving / enhancing development
policy / programmes / practices in India & LICs. (i) 4 development programmes / schemes / practises in
LICs informed by KPP (ii) 2 development programmes / schemes / pactices of India informed by KPP
(iii) 4 new Indian institutions significantly involved in global development policy / processes

Annual Outcome Assessment
KPP Analysis / Knowledge Products used in designing / improving / enhancing development
policy / programmes / practices in India & LICs
The desired outcome of KPP studies, knowledge products and dissemination is to enhance the
effectiveness of development programmes / schemes in India and LICs. KPP outputs must hence be
available to the right levels of policy / decision makers and valued for their quality findings and
recommendations.
There are three indicators in the Log Frame that aim to measure this achievement–

Outcome Indicator
KPP has been able to initiate interests among several LICs to learn from Indian good practices with
active interest from Ethiopia, Rwanda, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Uganda, Tanzania
and Kenya. Possibilities of working closely with Nepal and Ethiopia are high.
During the period, KPP helped Nepal’s Wage Employment Programme learn from the Mahatma
Gandhi National Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) of India. A knowledge exchange
[AUTHOR NAME]

programme organised in September 2013 for officials from Government of Nepal on MGNREGS resulted
in designing the Employment Led Poverty Reduction Programme in Western Nepal, as well as the
second phase of Rural Access Program in accordance with the ‘rights based’ concept of MGNREGS in
India. Procedural improvements such as direct transfer of salaries to bank accounts as well as local
planning of works were also built into the programme from the Indian MGNREGS learning. The Rural
Access Programme is supported by DFID Nepal to help the Government of Nepal develop and test new
approaches to employment led poverty reduction through pilot projects in two districts of the Karnali
Region to support improved implementation of the Karnali Employment Program (KEP) and enhanced
coordination with other Public Works, Livelihoods and Social Protection Programmes.
There is strong chance of similar success in helping Ethiopia learn from Indian Self Help Group (SHG)
and Women Empowerment models for which learning visits were organised. However, evidence of
Nepal’s learning within a year of its visit is a significant achievement of KPP.
Many of the studies conducted under KPP sought to provide insights and recommendations for policy
change in India. These have been presented to policy makers and are also being used for policy
direction. During the year, the Indian government has Revised India’s Duty Free Tariff Preference
(DFTP) Policy to enable increased imports from LICs in line with KPP’s recommendation. A study on
‘Deepening India’s engagement with Africa through better market access and technological
collaboration: a focus on African IDCS and the East Africa Region’ (ICTSD) analysed India’s DFTP
scheme. It concluded that the benefit of the scheme was not fully realised due to: (i) exclusion of
commodities that are heavily exported by some of the LICs (coffee, fruits and vegetables, cereal, spices,
tea, tobacco etc.); (ii) lack of awareness in LICs about DFTP; (iii) some non-tariff barriers and (iv) low
production and export capacity of the LICs. The recommendations of the report were presented to
national policy makers during the India Africa Conclave (in March 2014) organized by Confederation of
Indian Industries (CII). In August 2014, the Government of India amended the DFTP scheme to expand
its scope to include the products that are specifically exported by LICs. "In order to expand trade with
Africa, India had recently amended its Duty Free Tariff Preference (DFTP) scheme to cover around 98
per cent of the tariff lines," CII said, quoting Commerce Secretary Rajeev Kher.”2
This is an example of where KPP is contributing to the Indian policy landscape with research based
evidence and policy level interactions.
KPP has been able to involve newer institutions and expand scope of existing Indian institutions in the
global policy processes. Significant among them are:

Wada Na Todo Abhiyan (WNTA) – an Indian campaign covering 4,000+ civil society
organisations - came into being as an outcome of the World Social Forum in 2004 as an
independent, oversight platform to hold the governments accountable to their promise to end
poverty and social discrimination. Since 2013, it has also been engaged in shaping consensus
around the new development frame that would succeed the MDGs in 2015. KPP supported
WNTA’s advocacy campaign initiative to give voice to the people in the global post-2015 agendasetting process. The process resulted in India’s civil society’s voice being heard at the global
level and its specific recommendations (promoting peaceful non-violent societies, rule of law and
capable institutions, inclusive growth, specific focus on the most marginalised and gender
equality) are part of the Open Working Group (OWG) document which will be used to decide the
final indicators. This is the first time when a large number of CSOs came together, representing
people’s voices on a global agenda and India’s civil society could cohesively make a significant
contribution to the global discussion on Post 2015 MDG Agenda.

National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) – Although NCAER is a wellestablished name in the Indian context, KPP supported in expending its role in the Agricultural
Markets Information System (AMIS) of India through technical assistance of Food & Agriculture
Organization (FAO) to incorporate international best practices to agricultural outlooks in India.

The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2014-23, which is a flagship publication prepared jointly by
OECD and FAO, carries a thematic chapter on India, which was developed through collaborative
work between FAO, OECD, Indian Ministry of Agriculture and NCAER. India was also invited to
present key policy initiatives in the agricultural sector at the meeting of the Working Party on
Agricultural Policies and Markets (APM) by OECD, Paris in May 2014 where all OECD
delegations unanimously supported the thematic chapter on India. Finally, the report was jointly
released by Director General FAO and Secretary General OECD in Rome during July 2014,
where the Alternate Permanent Representative of India participated in the launch. The
experience of India (and NCAER) in this process is now being valued and sought by other LICs.
KPP continues to support and strengthen organisations that enable India’s views to be heard on global
development issues.
Aggregate output Score and Description
KPP has met expectations for the period under review and overall it has been scored an A. This is a
complex programme with multiple outputs. Each output has made good progress. KPP has had
significant success in meeting aspirations of LICs (especially Nepal and Ethiopia). In case of India facing
studies, their demand and market was not established – hence significant impact could be recorded only
in case of DFTP scheme. The additional role of KPP in empowering organisations to have their voice
heard on global issues is a major achievement and underscores the catalytic role in various aspects that
KPP can play. Overall, it can be concluded that KPP has largely achieved its outcome
expectations for the year.
Lessons
 While KPP has carried out several high quality / analytical studies, the turning point for their
implementation has been the more interactive, softer knowledge exchange visits complementing the
studies. It shows that decisions of policy change are often taken based on what ‘feels’ right rather
than what is ‘logically proved’ based on evidence alone.
 Engagement with LICs is critical to build trust and allow them to explore options of learning from
Indian good practices. LICs generally look across all workstreams to learn from India.
 Although several studies were carried out in Indian context, not all of these were able to make an
impact in terms of policy change. This could be because of low engagement with government
partner, acceptability issues and / or weak dissemination.
 It is difficult to establish attribution or even contribution to policy change especially in India when
recommendations are generic and / or aligned with other studies.
 The success of KPP’s initiatives depends to a large extent on the (contracted) partner. Almost all
aspects of the design, study, dissemination and policy are assigned to it. Hence, their own drive,
credibility and networks play a key role in taking forward the objectives.
 It takes time to establish rapport and credibility with LICs. Once this happens, an LIC can be
interested in policy issues across a range of sectors. Hence, knowledge sharing may be more
effective with country focus rather than sector focus.
 The variety of studies under KPP is good to show breadth but if the area of LICs interest(s) were
narrowed down to sub-themes, there could be greater results through focused studies.
Actions
 Implement Dissemination and Uptake Plan ensuring that visibility of KPP findings / recommendations
is made to the senior policy makers
 Identify Global and Indian think tanks for policy discussion and dissemination
 Establish Project / Institutional Mechanisms for DFID / Management Team to remain involved in
implementation of projects even after the project is completed under KPP.
 Respond quickly to requests from LICs and continue to provide information / support on allied areas
to LICs which have shown initial interest (Ethiopia, Nepal)
 Ensure budget availability for dissemination / uptake and demand based / supplementary studies to
optimise the benefits from investments made.
 Enhance DFID Advisors’ time allocation to KPP for strategic / policy engagement role of KPP.

Narrow focus of themes to specific areas and elicit interest from LICs towards them before
contracting them out.
Hold theme based quarterly round tables with key stakeholders for dissemination and uptake of work
done.
Have regular six monthly discussion based workshops to review the areas of work being
undertaken by KPP and identify emerging issues.
Has the Logframe been updated since the last review?
Yes. The logframe was revised in September 2014 to incorporate minor changes in indicator wording to
better reflect the evolving natures of KPP. In the revised logframe, there was greater focus on demand
from Low Income Countries, policy influence and tracking policy change.

Food Security, Resource Scarcity and Climate Change (FS, RS & CC)
This work-stream, focuses primarily on food security and resource scarcity linkages, and low carbon
sustainable development. Improved management of food, water and energy resources are recognised
as vital for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and will be an important part of the
post-2015 development framework. Through this work-stream, KPP aims to inform policy and practice in
developing countries using Indian lessons and expertise,. During this year, 8 initiatives were
commissioned, offering good coverage of this broad portfolio, of which 2 (scoping studies) have been
completed. All initiatives have a global focus, contributing to global goods or to sharing Indian good
practices/expertise with developing countries.

c) New synthesis (scoping study) of India’s resource footprint in developing countries at the foodenergy-water nexus: the implications for developing countries of India’s food, water and energy
security strategies; and examples of Indian resource use efficiency with potential to address food,
energy and water scarcities in LICs.
d) Ongoing support to Agricultural Market Information System, generating more transparent and
reliable agricultural commodity forecasts, to (1) inform food security decision by India and its
trading partners (2) boost the accuracy of global agriculture forecasting; (3) provide a model for
use in developing countries
e) New analysis of the Indian seed industry in Kenya and Ethiopia, to assess the potential to
improve African farmers’ access to high quality, affordable seeds .
f) New analysis of good practice on resource use efficiency in Indian private sector supply chains,
assessment of demand for transferring lessons to South Asian countries, and identification of
activities to meet such demand..
g) Facilitation of knowledge transfer between Indian entrepreneurs and counterparts in Africa and
South Asian countries on how to improve access to decentralized renewable energy access.
h) Technology transfer, market assessment and capacity building in Malawi on low carbon
construction materials (specifically improved brick production), to pilot approaches for improving
housing quality, reducing energy use and deforestation in Malawi.
Progress is promising. During the review period 2 assignments (scoping studies) were concluded.
These scoping studies were designed to raise awareness of developing countries in Indian expertise and
the implications of India’s policies, and to provide DFID with a set of promising areas for further
investigation. A further 6 on-going assignments are largely on schedule. Profile of initiatives is in Annex
A.
Three knowledge products were completed under this thematic area. These aim to raise awareness and
summarise key findings and results to date, primarily for a developing countries audience. They are
shared through internet-based dissemination, direct mail and via presentations in workshops and
conferences (including events held under KPP). Ongoing dissemination will be driven by the
communications strategy. Since many initiatives are in the early phase of implementation, we plan to
steadily accelerate the production of targeted knowledge products as these initiatives mature and deliver
findings in the coming year.
Summary of knowledge products (KPs) developed and hosted on the KPP website (www.ipekpp.com):

During the period, six focused workshops and dissemination events have been held with key
stakeholders / policy makers in the sector.
A workshop on Food and Nutrition Security: Building global partnerships through South-South
cooperation was attended by 50 Indian and international thinkers / Policy makers / stakeholders working
in the space of Food and Nutrition Security
Exploring India’s global footprint at the food-water-energy nexus: links with developing countries – the
workshop was attended by 45 Indian and international thinkers/ Policy makers/ stakeholders/
researchers working in the area of Food, water and energy. Feedback indicated that this was the first
event focusing on this particular angle (implicaitons for LICs), raising important new ideas and
opportunities for follow-on investigation, modelling etc.

from Asia & Africa - Organised by IRENA, the workshop brought together 30 participants from business
incubators, renewable energy associations and energy enterprises from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda,
Egypt, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal and India. The idea was to bring together the stakeholders,
following a successful workshop organized by IRENA, DFID, CIIE and Asian Development Bank (ADB),
as part the International Off-Grid Renewable Energy Conference (IOREC) held on 16 June 2014 in
Manila, Philippines. Notable outcomes of this program included commitment from the incubators to
establish inter- and intra-regional partnerships for knowledge sharing and collaboration. The
entrepreneurs on their part, committed to establishing a peer platform to learn from similar enterprises
operating elsewhere.
Around 160 participants attended these four workshops that were directly supported by KPP

Key Points
KPP has enabled scoping of the comparative advantage of what India has to offer, ongoing assessment
of the demands/requirements of some development country partners (up to senior government level in
some cases – e.g. vias the Resource Efficiency initiative), and active knowledge partnership building,
piloting and capacity building across the portfolio.
Progress against previous year’s recommendations:
Recommendations

The report and its finding were disseminated in a
workshop attended by key Indian and
international thinkers/ Policy makers/
stakeholders working in the space of Food and
Nutrition Security. Since funds availability is low, it
has constrained new studies under KPP.
IPE GLOBAL to demonstrate a systematic
framework/approach for assessing, prioritising and

Prioritization Criteria was developed as part of the
procurement process and followed for the new
projects taken up. However, since most projects
were already committed and funds limited, this
could not be used much.
Recommendations for next year:

agencies that work with them. This will help to raise awareness and generate interest in India’s
role as a global development partner for developing countries. Hence recommendations for this
work-stream would be:
Document lessons learned and key successes, e.g. from IRENA, Global Dialogues and the
Malawi experience
Knowledge sharing processes need to be driven by a stronger communication strategy that sets
out more clearly how KPP will engage stakeholders and inform the approaches of technical,
policy and civil society actors in developing countries. This includes identification of key
stakeholders, important networks and upcoming global events. Develop a data base of relevant
stakeholders to initiate e discussions and share findings

During this review period 6 projects have been completed and 2 studies are on-going. Of the 6
completed, 2 (Empower studies) were delayed. There are 2 ongoing assignments in the health workstream. The ongoing studies are largely on schedule. For a detailed profile of studies, refer Annex A.
This work-stream has successfully pursued work to generate evidence for policy modifications especially
in pharmaceuticals and public health with focus on contributing to global commitment of UHC.
2 Knowledge Products (KPs) have been developed and hosted on the KPP website (www.ipekpp.com):
i.
Delaying Artemisinin Resistance: Framing Policy response for an emerging public health concern
– this is a thematic paper to be shared with key public health administrators from malaria
endemic zones in S.E. Asia
ii.
Global Social Marketing & Social Franchising Update

A Story of Change on D-REV’s cost-effective photo therapy device has been developed. Several web
publications and / or write-ups were facilitated by the KPP studies under this workstream and a brief list
is given in Annex B.
An uptake plan for the sector has been developed now and further dissemination will be undertaken.
Meanwhile, the study reports and KPs are uploaded on the website for dissemination. Two major
workshops were facilitated / organised by KPP during this year


Global Conference on Social Marketing and Franchising Conference – This was an International
conference to showcase successful health PPP, Social Marketing & Social Franchising primary
health care models also aiming at sensitizing policy makers and prospective private sector
partners to position SM&SF as a strategy for achieving primary health and development targets
by countries.
Artemisinin Resistance Workshop - Delaying Artemisinin Resistance in India and the regiona
multi-national workshop supported under the KPP, provided an opportunity for researchers and
clinicians from developing countries to have a high-level policy dialogue, share data on treatment
of malarial infections and resistance levels in healthcare settings. It has created a platform for
discussing scientific and policy responses to use of Artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) for
malaria eradication. Experts including from WHO SEARO, Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance,
WHO ERAR, GFATM, Regional Artemisinin Initiative (RAI), ADB’s Regional Malaria Trust Fund,
Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN), Indian Council of Medical Research,
National Institute of Malaria Research etc attended.
These 2 workshops had more than 600 participants in all. Details of workshops conducted are given
in Annex C.
Key Points
The studies under this work-stream have focused on a few areas with high potential for policy reform and
LIC interest. In particular:
a) The project on Strategic Sourcing of Indian Pharmaceuticals: A “how to” guide for global buyers”
provides a blueprint and feasibility of having a comprehensive and dynamic, user-friendly
database to guide purchasing decisions of the buyers from importing countries so that it improves
access to quality medicines and promote value for money to buyers and donors. This has
identified current information gaps in making sound pharmaceutical purchasing decisions in focus
countries like Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia and has also been able to leverage funds from other
DFID sources.
b) The study on Dynamics of Indian Pharmaceutical Quality Systems brings out specific policy
constraints in improving the quality in pharmaceutical production processes and possible
strategies to address major barriers in assuring quality of drugs, with a set of recommendations
for range of stakeholders. Recommendations have been included for action by Central Drug
Standards Control Organisation as well as by GOI by making financial provisions for
strengthening drug testing labs in states in Budget for current year. Another recommendation for
strengthening of CDSCO to meet challenges of regulating drug licencing in India has been
included in the MoU between MHRA, UK and GoI with the former providing technical support.
c) The market scoping study for (Brilliance) affordable phototherapy devices in 7 LICs has
established need for such products and how they are cost effective way to treat neonatal
jaundice. This has provided a momentum to the agenda of providing affordable quality lifesaving
medical devices in
LICs. This initiative has also received financial support from DFID’s
Innovation funds
d) The Artemisinin Resistance Workshop brought together experts in a strong collaborative effort to
tackle emerging health issues with trans-border implications. Deliberations in workshop focused
on dynamics of AR, surveillance and measures to prevent the spread. Relevant research
priorities and exchange of knowledge on modelling etc were identified to be pursued by different
networks
e) The on-going study on Impact of Merger and Acquisitions (M & A) in Indian Pharmaceutical
sector on production, access and pricing of drugs in India and in Low Income Countries examines
the reasons for change in products profiles, investments, scope and range of R&D activities post
[AUTHOR NAME]
11
M&A. It is important for policy makers to understand how decisions for allowing FDI in pharma
sector would shape access to low cost quality essential drugs not only in county but in LICs as
well. This will provide insights how FDI decisions would affect R&D and access to low cost quality
essential drugs in India and other LICs.
f) Another on-going study Analytical Research on Promoting Indian Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (API) Industry: Exploring Pathways focuses on analysing the policy levers for
promoting growth of API Industry. The study aims to come out with evidence based policy
recommendations for promoting API industry in India.
g) The social franchising workshop provided a forum for discussion and policy advocacy on
alternative models of primary health delivery, especially in LICs.
In effect, KPP has been able to address a significant range of emerging issues in the health work-stream
and to focus in on a number of issues related to Indian pharma industry and as well as technology
solutions and franchising models from India to LICs.
This stream has also been able to leverage funds for most of its projects.
Progress against previous year’s recommendations:
Health horizon scan to further identify India’s
offer to LICs, assess demand and suggest ways
forward
The Horizon Scan report was submitted to
DFID. The way forward and new policy areas
have been incorporated in the Policy
Thematic Refresh..
IPE GLOBAL to streamline procedures for
reviewing proposals, including coordination
between the technical and financial /
procurement teams
This has been done. Task team is in the
process of developing a system to ensure
that decisions are taken at appropriate levels.
Recommendations
 The work-stream can prioritise its themes around market shaping for health commodities
(technological devices, buyers’ guide, quality pharmaceutical products) and disease control
issues like preventing Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) in South-East Asia. DFID
 Working with Pharma organisations on Self-Regulation is a clear recommendation, DFID/IPE
(December)
 Policy lead on KPP to document the measures obtained at the central and state levels for
adherence to drug quality regulation and reforms and share the learning with concerned LICs

The key objective of this stream was to undertake research on various themes with a focus on global
connect, LIC’s, development impact and poverty alleviation. The studies as a part of this stream have
focused on strengthening India’s engagement in Africa and Asia- especially in Asian African LDC’s
through improved trade relations and technological collaboration under structural and growth
transformation programme. In sum, evidence based research projects of the work-stream have sought to
carry out developmental impact analysis of various Indian trade, investment and aid policies in other
developing countries in an effort to assess and identify successful policies and best practices that
contribute to such developmental outcomes.

In addition, the various publications based on studies under the work-stream are also being publicly
used. The uptake plan for the work-stream has also been developed and is under implementation.
These 3 workshops were attended by more than 300 participants. A list of workshops conducted under
this work-stream is given in Annex C.
Key Points
This work-stream has reviewed several critical trade issues for India and its trade opportunities with
partners (including LICs). It provides insights to help address trade opportunities for both India and LICs.
The projects under T&I stream fall under two major policy objectives:
a) Strengthen Global Deals and Dialogue:
(1) WTO Bali Ministerial: Achieving Key Deliverables and Creating a Road Map for Doha
Conclusion: A Perspective from Indian Private Sector;
(2) External Preferential Trade Agreements and the Indian Economy “An Analysis of Impacts
and Counter Measures.
(3) India and the Evolving Global Trade Regulations: Implications for Trade Policy Reforms,
Capacity Augmentation, and Co-operation with Low Income Economies in Africa and Asia

(9) Sub-regional cooperation between India-Myanmar and Bangladesh.
(10) Managing India’s Trade Deficit with Large Trading Partners: Lessons and Prospects
(11) Building Trade and Investment Capacity in Myanmar.
Progress against previous year’s recommendations:
Consolidation of T&I work by theme and
region by building on completed and on-going
projects
Where feasible, linking with other thematic
priorities under the KPP to ensure value for
money (VfM), e.g. T&I regulations and access
to medicines in LICs, patent laws and global
value chains, resource use.
Leveraging India’s markets for increased and
value-added imports from LICs
Evidence on enhancing the impact of Indian
investment in LICs by improving transparency
on investment regimes
Sharing India’s trade, investment and
economic growth related best practises, such
as on building market institutions and
implementing PPPs in low income countries
No significant new projects outside the
theme.
The Sankalp Forum did promote some good
health / medical products in Ethiopia but
further initiatives could not be taken up due
to limited funds.
Fresh studies could not be take up due to
limited funds availability.
Fresh studies could not be take up due to

Recommendations
 T&I needs to identify key stakeholders in the government (Commerce Ministry), Indian Think
Tanks for targeted advocacy efforts. Brief, focussed presentations to key policy makers may be
more amenable for policy informing than large workshops.
 This work-stream also needs to share and disseminate key policy recommendations to targeted
stakeholders through round tables and policy discussions
[AUTHOR NAME]



Since this work-stream has been able to generate a considerable body of knowledge, it needs to
consolidate the finding into key themes and develop compendium of work for wider sharing
It is essential to have geographic and thematic focus, focussing on a few big ticket items. The
work-stream should focus its efforts on targeted LICs in East Africa and in South Asia.

Women and Girls (W&G)
The women and girls work stream was successful in influencing policies in other LICs building/adapting
the Indian experience on women’s economic empowerment (Self help groups) and women’s safety
(safetipin and helplines). The approach was client centred and provided end to end support. It included
– understanding the socio-political context, understanding the gaps in policies and programs; introducing
appropriate Indian models; identifying the right set of partners in the country; conducting learning visist
tailored to their needs and follow up technical support to adapt the Indian experience. The program
worked in close collaboration with the DFID country offices and the governments (Nepal and Ethiopia).

A profile of projects under this workstream is given in Annex A.
The work-stream has developed the following Knowledge Products (KPs) NMEW Publication on ‘Good
Practices of Convergence on Economic Empowerment of Women’. The publication captures some of the
noteworthy initiatives across the country on gender equality and women’s empowerment. This was
formally launched at an event and has been shared across departments in the Ministry.
KPs on Safetipin, Women’s Helpline and SHGs in India;
2 Stories of Change on ‘Safetipin Application as a tool for Developing Safer Cities’ and ‘Learning from
Indian SHG experiences in Ethiopia’ were developed.
Several web publications and / or write-ups were facilitated by the KPP studies under this work-stream
and a brief list is given in Annex B.
The work-stream played a significant role in promoting its initiatives and Indian good practices A list of
significant dissemination / policy influence events are mentioned in Annex C.
[AUTHOR NAME]
15
Some of the important events were as follows:
•Launch workshop of Safetipin application was followed by a panel discussion with A.G. K. Menon
(INTACH Delhi convener), Nandita Das, (Actor and social activist) R.S. Pawar (Chairman, NIIT), Rashmi
Singh (Director, NMEW) and Susmit Sen (Musician) on how a community-focused technology platform
can help individuals and communities help governments to deliver better.
•In the Women Empowerment Workshop held in Ethiopia, peer to peer discussion sessions were
organised where three resource persons from India’s most successful SHG programs interacted with the
government and civil society experts from Ethiopia.
•In October 2014, a team from Ethiopia comprising DFID-Ethiopia, Ministry, Banks, Micro-Financial
Institutions, and Regional representatives visited India to understand financial inclusion models for poor
women and policy frameworks and the field operations for a large women’s economic emwpermnet
program Kudumbshree in Kerala. The expected outcome of this exchange visit is KPP facilitating
adoption of Kudumbashree model in Ethiopia.
•The National Resource Centre for Women released document on "Good Practices of Convergence on
Economic Empowerment of Women" at a workshop in Kolkata. This was attended by senior officials, UN
agencies and other stakeholders from the Women & Child Development.
•In Jan – Feb 2014, a Knowledge Exchange Visit was organised for Government of Nepal and DFID
Nepal to understand the women’s empowerment programs in India. The delegates met officials of
Ministry of Rural Development, National Mission on Empowerment of Women, Ministry of Women and
Child Development, Kudumbashree, Jeevika and Mahila Samakhya and learned about safetipin. At the
request of the GoN and DFID Nepal, Indian experts visited Kathmandu to discuss the feasibility of the
two interventions with the Department of Women and Children; Police Department and with DFID Nepal.
These 6 workshops were attended by more than 300 participants. A list of significant dissemination /
policy influence events are mentioned in Annex C.
Key Points
a)
‘Analytical study on alcohol use and violence against women’ focuses on understanding the
relationship between alcohol policies and prevalence of VAW. Very little literature is available in this area
and the findings and recommendations of the study will be relevant for India and other LICs.
b)
‘A crowd sourced platform for building safer cities’ Safetipin has worked towards creating safe
environment through citizen participation and community involvement in some of the cities in India. It
also has been able to generate interests in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Ethiopia.
c)
‘Residential Schooling Strategies: Impact on Girl’s Education and Empowerement’ analyses the
Indian Government’s policy towards residential schools as a strategy for schooling and empowering poor
girls and compare with policies and practices internationally.
“Understanding SHGs as programmes for economic and social empowerement of women in India and
LICs’ reviews the functioning and the impact of the various SHG models existing in India, and other LICs
on women empowerment. This would also help in identifying workable models suitable for different
settings with policy recommendations for adoption per se or with modifications.
Progress against previous year’s recommendations:
Develop ‘How to’ guides and applicability /
context guides as knowledge products which
can be used as easy reference for
stakeholders.
Establish the way forward on at least two
country partnerships on W&G theme
Documentation of good practices / concept
notes on women safety applications /
programmes and drives were developed and
shared with number of stakeholders.
Dialogues with stakeholders from Nepal and
Ethiopia were initiated and taken forward in
this period. An action plan is being developed
to take forward the initiative.
Recommendations

Publications of the Wada Na Todo Abhiyaan (WNTA) on consultation processes for the Post
MDG Discussions.
Several web publications and / or write-ups were facilitated by the KPP studies under the Development
Effectiveness window and a brief list is given in Annex B.
As mentioned, there is a rich variety in the studies undertaken in this window. In particular, it addresses
issues related to international development agreements and one of them is ‘Influencing the post-2015
development agenda-setting discourse’ supported through UNDP and WNTA.
Under this project, KPP supported various dialogues to engage with a wide range of stakeholders to
discuss and develop positions around the evolving development agenda and contribute to the global
discourse.
This has been one of the largest social engagement for a global agenda, in India. Beginning in
September 2012, 8 national conveners representing the government, trade unions, industry, women’s
associations, farmer’s associations, research institutions, civil society and youth organizations have
undertaken constituency-based consultations throughout the country. An estimated 15,000 people
across thousands of organizations, with representative membership of 400 million, were involved in the
process. This proved to be a wide ranging and effective consultation mechanism. Moreover 12 meetings
were organized in New York where stakeholders directly participated.
WNTA through its various strategic interventions and outputs has also been successfully able to
influence the post-2015 agenda-setting process globally. The latest iteration of the Open Working Group
(OWG) document3 that forms the basis for consensus-building among the member states towards
developing a commonly-agreed set of draft goals and its attendant targets / indicators to be submitted to
the UN Secretary General includes specific recommendations provided by WNTA earlier. These include
recommendations (in the form of draft targets / indicators) towards promoting peaceful non-violent
societies, rule of law and capable institutions, inclusive growth, specific focus on the most marginalised
and gender equality.
Several interaction and dissemination forums were organised by this work-stream under KPP. A list of
significant dissemination / policy influence events were:
 First Sankalp Africa Summit brought together delegates from across 25 countries to discuss ways
in which a pan African market for social innovation could be supported, strengthened and
sustained to address the needs of the developing populations
 Post Sankalp Forum Dissemination in India with Heads of African Missions brought together
heads of several African missions in India, government officials, development partners and
innovators from diverse sectors with exciting, transformative stories to tell, to exchange ideas and
engage in relevant debates on India-Africa innovations exchange for inclusive development.
 Post MDG-2015 Consultations (WNTA & UNDP) - The national and regional consultations helped
shape and influence the emerging development agenda by providing concrete recommendations
for Post 2015 Development Goals. The social media outreach reached more than 600,000
people and ‘my world survey’ engaged 150,000 users, across the world. An estimated 15,000
people participated in the consultations.
Details of major workshops conducted is given in Annex C.

The projects under the Development Effectiveness Window have been able to
1. Engage a wide variety of partners on issues of global importance (such as Post 2015 MDGs)
2. Help understand policy impact through review of the Human Development Index over time
3. Assist entrepreneurship development helping to leverage funds (SANKALP) and promote Indian
innovations in LICs
4. Facilitate knowledge exchange programmes with LICs on varies subjects
5. Provide quick and effective study response on a range of development challenges
Progress against previous year’s recommendations:
Currently, contracts committed for
Responsive Window (DE) is beyond the
recommended limit of 25%. Considering the
larger remit of the Responsive Window and
its portfolio of cross-sectoral projects, it is
recommended that this division is reassessed following the external review
Current allocation for the development
effectiveness window is 34%.
Recommendations
 Considering the significance of projects under this window, IPE should allocate lead responsibility
to an appropriately qualified resource person.
D: VALUE FOR MONEY & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (1-2 pages)
Performance of key cost drivers
Of the £9m for KPP, $=£7.9m has been
contracted out to IPE. Of this, core fees is
£2.45m(31%) and £5.5m i.e 69%(inclusive
of management fees and service tax) is
for subcontracting towards programme
activities. The total value of contracts till
September 15, 2014 is GBP 4.100 million
and billed is GBP 2.275 Million (refer chart
alongside).
VFM Performance compared to original VFM proposition in the Business Case
Strategic level VFM (i.e. to what extent outputs have helped in achievement of outcomes) will best be
measured thorugh an external evaluation. KPP task team will consider timing of such an evaluation. At
operational level; the consolidated (net) savings at negotiation stage is estimated to be worth INR
90,98,668 (approx. GBP 90,100) and at the payment stage (due to actuals being lower than contracted
budgets) is worth INR 1,64,04,678 (approx. GBP 164,100) Details are in Annex D of the document.
Assessment of whether the programme continues to represent value for money
The programme is working across 4 key sectors. It has generated large amount of knowledge and
facilitated exchange visits to shape and influence policies and programmes in LICs in Africa (Ethiopia)
and in South Asia (Nepal, Bangladesh). It provides a platform for partnership with key stakeholders both
in government as well as with other development partners (UNDP, FAO), CSOs (WNTA) and think tanks
(ORF & RIS). Programme activities have the potential to achieve programme outcome and impact.
Quality of financial management
We are reviewing spend and forecast on monthly basis. Variance has been kept to the minimum.
Progress is also being monitored through quarterly progress reports.
An audit process has been initiated to obtain an assurance of correctness of claims (sub-contracting &
management agency project expenses) lodged by the management team.

E: RISK (½ page)
Overall risk rating:
The overall risk rating has been Medium. The main risk is low uptake of KPP knowledge for policy
formulation by different stakeholders in India and LICs. KPP proposes to have a strong documentation
and dissemination component in the final year of its operations to mitigate this risk.
Overview of progress against risks identified in the business case:
1. KPP-produced evidence not used by GoI when designing new policies and programmes.
 This continues to be the main risk. Current experience shows that although KPP has generated a
range of evidence for GoI, not many of it has been acted upon.
 Isndication of engaging central departments like Panchayati Raj, Women and Child
Development, Commerce, Agriculture through some of the initiatives are present.
 KPP has gathered evidence around key development outcomes in India and is sharing relevant
information with LICs. This contributes to the potential gains of DFID-I and enhances the scope of
UK’s strengthened engagement with concerned LICs
 Communicating KPP evidence has been primarily through partner organisations. Most of the
partners are strong organisations with good knowledge base, networks and credibility. KPP is
effectively using and also plans further to use their links and networks for wider dissemination.
 Currently there are no direct requests from GoI’s side for data or evidence. But KPP has been
supporting organisations like NCAER on data generation activities like A-MIS and HDIS.
2. Difficulty in attributing outcomes to DFID activities and demonstrating VfM
 This is an inherent risk in the programme itself due to its nature. However, the objective should
be to demonstrate ‘contribution’ rather than attribution. The risk remains unchanged. Efforts at
policy tracking and measuring policy advocacy should be strengthened.
3. Lesson-learning activities in Africa and South Asia are not sustainable – do not lead to
shifts in policy and programming
[AUTHOR NAME]
20

The current experience shows that LICs are using KPP evidence for their policy review and
benefiting from it. Hence this risk seems to be low.
4. Evidence and analysis produced under the KPP, is not high quality, undermining reach
 Given the nature of KPP work which can invariably be carried out by specialist agencies, most of
the works have been awarded on nomination basis. The work plans for different streams were
generated through consultation workshops & DFID and the KPP management team have worked
out a system of output review to ensure quality in the assignments and outputs.
5. Inability to respond to demand from Africa and South Asia for Indian expertise
 There has been increasing demand for KPP assistance from newer LICs. However, KPP is
unable to respond fully to these demands due to current funds constraint. A phase 2 is planned
which will mitigate this risk to some extent.
Outstanding actions from risk assessment
None
Due Diligence Actions
During the period, 6 Due Diligences were conducted by the KPP Management Team (D-Rev, ICIRIER,
CUTS, ALS, CII and Sankalp) of which 5 were classified a ‘Low Risk’, one as ‘Medium’ risk (ALS). There
were no serious findings.
F: COMMERCIAL CONSIDERATIONS (½ page)
Delivery against planned timeframe
Around 100 deliverables were received during this review
period across the 5 work-streams. Most of the
deliverables were on time (refer chart alongside) and only
an average of 10% of deliverables were delayed beyond
a month.
Most of the partners who expected delay intimated before
time and some also requested for extension. Since most
of the deliverables are related either to research or to
recent developments, delays are usually unforeseen and
unintended.
Performance of partnership(s)
KPP has collaborated with 54 partners, which include 11 small NGOs under the WNTA partnerships, 6
Donors and Government Bodies such as DFID Nepal & Ethiopia; Ministry of Women Children & Youth
Affairs; NMEW, GoI; Kudumbashree, Govt. Of Kerala; Ministry of Women Children and Social Welfare
(MoWCSW) Nepal.
The performance of partnerships was assessed by feedback from the DFID Policy Advisors and Policy
Leads. In summary, it was felt that:
 Though the partnership with HLFPPT was a very short one but it was felt that HLFPPT had high
potential to be KPP partner as it could bring on-board multi-disciplinary technical expertise on
several issues like Social Marketing, Social Franchising, Capacity Building, Community
Development, Public Health, Program Management, Branding and Product Development and
Behaviour Change Communication.
 ICTSD is an international research organisation and has vast research experience on the topics
related Trade and investment. Given the quality of work and their expertise in the area of
international trade, it would be good to have a continued association and collaboration with them
on international trade issues in the future too.
 CUTS is one of the premier research institutions and has major experience in working on primary
survey based topics related to trade and development. CUTS has a young team of research

professionals working on global trade issues. The organisation needs some guidance on
structuring and preparation of reports but is a good partner to work in the future.
ORF has good research competence in the areas of international relations and major policy
issues related to the Indian Economy. They are a well-established independent think tank with an
expertise in the area of trade and international relations. They have the potential to undertake
research on issue related to Global trade negotiations, regional trading formations etc. though
they are weak in undertaking pure analytical or empirical research. KPP can partner with them to
conduct good policy oriented studies.
CII is an association of Indian businesses and is good at networking and liaison also with the
Government. KPP can take the help of CII for disseminating its studies, carry out survey work
and advocacy campaign given their wide networks and proximity to the Government. However,
CII has limited research capability.
FICCI is fairly competent in carrying out mega projects involving capacity building in trade,
investment and also has good contacts in the Ministry to carry and organise events as a part of
the dissemination strategy.
Partnering with Government Missions like NMEW (Ministry of Women and Child Development)
adds value to the research and dissemination across various forums is ensured
Empower School of Health is credible to take up short term assignments. Technical expertise is
available mostly with the seniors in the organisation. The geographical presence is also limited.
They could be engaged along with multiple partners.
First phase partnerships of UNDP, FAO and WNTA were directly under DFID-I’s Global Programme.
KPP has been able to maintain and strengthen relationship with these UN bodies like UNDP and FAO.
Next phases of these programmes have been extended under KPP. KPP has played a facilitative role in
linking FAO with the Ministry of Agriculture, CUTS with Ministry of Commerce.
Asset Monitoring & Control
Arrangements have been set in the contract/ agreements that any assets procured under the programme
will be recorded in the Asset Register and get updated each time a new asset is purchased. Partners will
take three quotations while purchasing any equipment. Partner will share updated list of asset inventory
every six months.

There is no conditionality attached to this project.
H: MONITORING & EVALUATION (½ page)
Evidence and evaluation
The Management Team of KPP has developed a Project Management Information System that covers
all steps from identifying the concept to deliverable management and payment to the agencies. This
software enables real time tracking and monitoring of performance of all routine aspects of project
management by the Management team and DFID.
Further nine projects have been identified for focused monitoring, (especially on dissemination, uptake
and policy influence) as they have the highest potential of making an impact. These ‘high priority’ studies
are as follows:
A. Strengthen global deals, dialogue and public goods
1. Incorporating international best practices in the preparation of agricultural outlook and situation
analysis reports for India – FAO
2. Support to India Post-2015 National and Regional Consultations – UNDP

Monitoring progress throughout the review period (including beneficiary feedback)
KPP has an M&E system with Monthly, Quarterly, Half-yearly MIS formats which are regularly filled-in by
KPP Management Team. Quarterly Progress Reports are submitted regularly. Weekly updates of overall
sub-contract budget and monthly forecasting of invoices are also shared with DFID.
KPP has been associated with a wide range of partners from UN organisations, Chambers of
Commerce, Research Organisations, and Academic Institutions, International and National NGOs and
others. Feedback was received from 14 partner organisations based on questionnaires sent out. For
most of the partners, KPP was a surprise pool of fund which arrived at an appropriate time with equal
flexibility and rigour. The Management Team (IPE Global) alongwith DFID management team and DFID
Advisers quickly managed all the contract formalities and also provided timely technical support to each
work-stream.
Some of the responses of being associated with KPP are as follows The Deputy Executive Director of CUTS said that KPP was ‘an excellent initiative’. They have been
receiving all necessary support from the KPP team of IPE Global in implementing their project. There is
the necessary flexibility to address the objectives of the project. They have commented on the work and
provided suggestions to improve it. Most importantly, CUTS have received encouragement and
motivation from them to do better.
The programme representative from Empower School of Health said that the concept of KPP was
excellent and useful and the KPP project team provided good technical input which led to strengthening
of the project outputs and impact.
Peter Kenmore of FAO said that all the intellectual interrogation and policy discussions with KPP team
were helpful and refreshing and Bhaskar Goswami said working with IPE Global had been a pleasant
experience and FAO valued the partnership.
Representative from IIP said KPP works in a partnership mode and have a very cooperative and
solution- oriented approach. This helps in creating a conducive environment for implementation.
For TARA the experience has been very interesting and enriching. The inputs received from KPP in
terms of questioning the project and its mandate as well as on balancing the larger mandate with project
deliverables has been very helpful.
Kalpana Vishwanath of ALS said it had been a good experience with KPP. This partnership was a
pleasant surprise. Not all donors promote and understand a start-up product and engage with such a
project. KPP gave time to promote this concept and understood it very clearly. This initiative has been
successful only because of regular meetings, feedbacks and one-to-one interaction with KPP team
members.
Harshavardhan Singh of IISD feels that the experience so far has been a very good one
Amitabh Behar of WNTA said that KPP has been the ‘fulcrum’ of this effort. It provided the much-needed
launch-pad to take forward this advocacy campaign. This has been an extremely helpful partnership.
[AUTHOR NAME]

Radhika Kaul Batra of UNDP felt that the KPP partnership came in a good time and provided the
necessary resources for such a large consultation process.
Aparajita Agarwal, Director of SANKALP Forum stated that the partnership with KPP has been very
productive and useful for Intellecap. By seeding the growth of this initiatives KPP and DFID have
supported the extending networks and adviced to help scale the program and eventually grow out of
dependence on grant funding and become self-sustaining.
Sulochana Vasudevan, Mission Director – NMEW felt that the KPP was a very meaningful and effective
partnership at the right time
Karuna Onta of DFID Nepal feels that KPP with the support from DFID-I needs to find more ways of
liaising with the DFID country offices for more meaningful work.
Ethiopia Delegates felt that KPP was a very useful platform for learning and sharing. They have
envisaged taking up several Indian initiatives like Kudumbashree, Safetipin and Womens’ Helpline on a
pilot mode.

Description
GBP
The initiative was designed to open to crowd-sourcing the usually closed multilateral
negotiation process. They generated inputs into global policy making from individuals and
groups from India and 86 other countries through meetings and conferences, online
discussions, and larger public debates. More than 75 community, state, regional and national
constituency-based consultations were organised in 24 states between September 2012 and
February 2013. An estimated 15,000 people participated— 25 percent of whom were women—
and thousands of organizations, with collective representative membership of 400 million
Indians (1/3rd of India’s population), were involved in the process.
