The World Bank

World Bank Program-for-Results Support

Innovative financing mechanism linking disbursements to results

Why Program-for-Results?

  • Outcome Focus

    Payment tied to achieving DLIs, not activities

  • Government Ownership

    UP leads implementation with flexibility to adapt

  • Performance Incentives

    Rewards states that achieve results efficiently

  • Transparency

    Results independently verified before payment

Distribution

Allocation by Disbursement-Linked Indicator

How $299.66M is distributed across program components

DLI 1: Airshed DSS$84.35M(28.1%)
DLI 3: Clean Cooking$51.07M(17.0%)
DLI 6: Urban Mobility$47.02M(15.7%)
DLI 7: Vehicle Scrapping$31.63M(10.6%)
DLI 5: Industry & MSME$41.00M(13.7%)
DLI 4: Agriculture$28.18M(9.4%)
DLI 8: City-Level AQM$17.02M(5.7%)
DLI 2: Human Resources$5.38M(1.8%)

Largest Allocations

  1. 1.

    DSS & Monitoring ($84.35M, 28%)

    Foundation for all program decisions

  2. 2.

    Clean Cooking ($51.07M, 17%)

    Household transition support

  3. 3.

    Urban Mobility ($47.02M, 15%)

    E-bus and e-trike infrastructure

Allocation Rationale

The DSS receives the largest allocation (28%) because accurate air quality data and predictive modeling are fundamental to:

  • Identifying priority pollution sources
  • Tracking progress in real-time
  • Adapting strategies based on results
  • Supporting other sector investments

Gap Filling

While World Bank financing covers $299.66M (52% of total), the remaining $284.87M comes from state government contributions (~$136.3M) and expected private sector mobilization (~$127M) through clean cooking enterprises, EV charging networks, sustainable agriculture inputs, and industrial efficiency improvements. This multi-source approach demonstrates the shared commitment to achieving clean air outcomes.

Timeline

Budget Allocation Over Implementation Period

7-year program spanning 2025-2031

Year 1 (2025)

Program launch, DSS setup, capacity building

12%

Year 2 (2026)

Scale-up of interventions, vehicle scrapping begins

15%

Year 3 (2027)

Peak implementation, all sectors active

16%

Year 4 (2028)

Continued full implementation

15%

Year 5 (2029)

Optimization phase, efficiency focus

14%

Year 6 (2030)

Wind-down of major procurements

15%

Year 7 (2031)

Final implementation, monitoring & learning

13%

Budget Timing

Budget allocations are front-loaded in years 2-4 (45% of total) to establish infrastructure, procure vehicles, and transition households. Later years (5-7) have lower spending as systems are operational and maintenance/monitoring costs dominate, demonstrating a realistic implementation curve that accounts for procurement, deployment, and sustainability phases.

Sustainability

Post-Program Financial Viability

Ensuring long-term sustainability beyond World Bank support

Revenue Generation

  • Vehicle Registration: Increased e-vehicle sales generate revenue through registration fees

  • Carbon Credits: Clean cooking and transport projects eligible for carbon markets

  • Industrial Compliance: Industry fees from pollution control compliance

  • Data Services: Air quality DSS provides monitoring services for fee

Cost Recovery

  • User Fees: Clean cooking enterprises collect from beneficiaries

  • EV Infrastructure: Charging operators cover operational costs

  • State Budget: Recurring operational costs in state budget post-program

  • O&M Efficiency: Technology reduces long-term monitoring costs

Long-Term Vision

UPCAMPA is designed to establish self-sustaining systems where markets, industries, and technologies can operate independently post-program. Clean cooking, EV charging, and air monitoring systems will be embedded in state budget processes and private sector operations, ensuring continued air quality improvements and environmental benefits indefinitely.
