Models for National Planning

摘要

Standards for national planning models are changing. The World Bank (WB), UN DevelopmentProgramme (UNDP), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and many bi-lateral funders haveadopted Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF) and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper(PRSP). The CDF, PRSP, and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) make new demandsfor transparency, comprehensiveness, and user-friendliness in national models. While the WB’sRevised Minimum Standard Model-Extended (RMSM-X) and the IMF’s Financial PlanningFramework (FPF) model continue to dominate, they are outdated and do not meet the newstandards. A review of currently available national planning models was funded byConservation International and published by the University of Bergen; the review ranks highesta System Dynamics model called Threshold 21 (T21). This paper summarizes the review,presents an overview of the T21 model and some of its recent national applications, anddescribes emerging partnerships using T21.
