Started in 1996, the Initiative was enhanced in 1999 as an outcome of a comprehensive review by IDA [International Development Association] and the IMF [International Monetary Fund], including public consultations. The Initiative's debt-burden thresholds were adjusted downward, which enabled a broader group of countries to qualify for larger volumes of debt relief. Moreover, a number of creditors, including the main multilaterals, started to provide earlier assistance to qualifying countries in the form of interim relief at decision point. Finally, the “floating completion point” was introduced, providing incentives to speed up reforms and increase country ownership, 2, record 3, English, - Enhanced%20HIPC%20Initiative

The Special Program of Assistance for Africa(SPA) was established in 1987 as a response to the economic crises of the debt-distressed countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. An informal association of donors, the SPA was intended to support the countries structural adjustment programs with the International Development Association and the International Monetary Fund. The SPA did respond to the challenge. Free of the restrictive formality of other fora, donors were able to test ideas and develop a mutual understanding. High-level donor representation provided the opportunity for meaningful interactions with World Bank and IMF policy makers. The SPA helped to channel substantial quick-disbursing aid. Through peer pressure, it improved donor procedures. It broadened its agenda to address structural impediments to broad-based development. It provided a platform for frank and open exchanges on Africa's economic and social policy issues. It facilitated a convergence of development assistance goals and practices while preserving flexibility. 1, record 4, English, - Special%20Program%20of%20Assistance%20for%20Africa

Le Programme spécial d'assistance à l'Afrique (PSA) a été lancé en 1987 en réaction à la crise économique qui sévissait dans les pays lourdement endettés d'Afrique subsaharienne. Association informelle de donateurs, il visait à soutenir les programmes d'ajustement structurel de ces pays conjointement avec l'Association internationale de développement et le Fonds monétaire international. Le PSA a relevé le défi. Exempt du formalisme contraignant des autres instances, il a permis de tester des idées nouvelles et de développer la compréhension mutuelle entre les donateurs. Grâce à une représentation de haut niveau, ceux-ci ont pu avoir des échanges constructifs avec les responsables de la Banque mondiale et du FMI. Le PSA a permis d'acheminer une aide à décaissement rapide importante. Sous la pression des pairs, les donateurs ont amélioré leurs procédures. Le programme d'action a été élargi pour tenter de résoudre les problèmes structurels qui font obstacle au développement général. Le PSA a servi de base à des échanges francs et ouverts sur les questions économiques et sociales qui se posent en Afrique. Il a favorisé la convergence des buts et des pratiques en matière d'aide au développement tout en préservant la flexibilité. 1, record 4, French, - Programme%20sp%C3%A9cial%20d%27assistance%20%C3%A0%20l%27Afrique

The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund(IMF) today endorsed the IMF's Africa Capacity Building Initiative. The Inititative is part of the IMF's response to the urgent call by African leaders, including under the New Partnership for Africa's Development, to strengthen economic governance and domestic capacity of governments to carry out sound economic poverty-reducing policies. The Initiative's strategic goal is to strengthen the capacity of African countries to design and implement poverty-reducing strategies, as well as to improve the coordination of capacity building technical assistance in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper(PRSP) process. The Initiative aims to increase the volume of capacity building assistance from the IMF to Africa in the IMF's core areas of expertise. 2, record 6, English, - Africa%20Capacity%20Building%20Initiative
