DT4D Program at a Glance
Multiplier Effect:The Program is designed for scalability and impact. Solutions are linked to WBG
portfolio of operations. When solutions are successful, they can be implemented
across the world through WBG portfolio.
The Challenge:Disruptive Technologies (DTs) are transforming the world but very few of these
technologies are being designed and deployed to solve development challenges.
Objective:DT4D Program will solve critical development challenges by identifying, funding, and
piloting scalable disruptive technology solutions in World Bank Group operations.
The fund focuses on Critical Development Challenges, defined as those that:
• Present leapfrogging opportunities for countries (e.g., off-grid rural power solutions)
• Persistent and recurrent challenges across regions and or sectorial (e.g., transport,
agriculture, etc.) context for which traditional approaches do not work

DT4D Program
Operation & Expected Results
2019 Outputs
• 258 submitted proposals
• 215 eligible proposals
• 22 shortlisted proposals
• 10 winners awarded $150K to be implemented
over 12 months (June 30, 2020)
The initiative takes place in the form of a competitive call for proposals from WBG teams.
Operation1. Sourcing
Challenge call through WBG platform
2. ConnectingWBG staff links operations with DT
solutions to create proposal
3. SelectingProposals selected based on strategic
criteria to maximize impact
4. TestingTechnology solution implemented on the
ground with real developing challenges
5. MultiplyingSuccessful solutions are scaled globally
through WBG portfolio
• Mechanism to mainstream disruptive
technologies across GPs and regions
• Expected 5-10 scalable solutions at the regional
or sectoral portfolio level
• Awareness and connections strengthened
between WBG projects and technology providers

Frontier disruptive technologies applied to challenges
Roughly 40% of all proposals propose a solution focusing on the use of AI/ML or Data Analytics.
Over a third are dedicated to Geospatial Technologies, or DL/Blockchain, or Digital Platforms.
Every 4th proposal pitches a solution based on either IoT, or VR/AR, or UVAs.

DT4D 2019 Call Results
Every 6th proposal focuses on various Governance issues. [Governance includes those proposals with government and procurement issues (e.g. Blockchain to better trackprocurement transactions), and social accountability issues (e.g. lack of feedback loops whenever gov't services are provided), or that argued for a better governance practice(e.g. AI/ML for better design of banking regulations).]
Every 10th on Financial inclusion or Education.
About half proposals focus on the themes include (in the descending order): Transport, Entrepreneurship & Markets, Health & Nutrition, Environment & Natural ResourceManagement, Water & Sanitation, Agriculture, or Disaster & Risk Management.
The above themes, dominating in 83% of the proposals, are then followed by (in the descending order): Jobs & Social Protection, Urban Development, Tourism & Logistics,Energy, Macroeconomics, and Youth & Gender.

A third of all proposals focus on Africa. Half of them target the world’s poorest economies, “IDAcountries”. Close to a quarter cover the countries and territories considered fragile, conflict-affectedand/or affected by violence, “FCV”.

Collaboration among GPs and Internal Groups
The GPs/Groups with larger presence on teams were Governance, ITS and FCI, followed by DEC, Poverty and SPJ, and a third group formed by SURR, DD, IFC, Transport, Education, and Water.
The most central GP (the one with more connection among a larger diversity of other GPs - i.e., larger variation of collaboration) was SUUR, followed by Governance, Poverty, IFC and DD.
Note: This figure shows the social network map from DT4D proposals. Circles represent number of team members in DT4D proposals. The larger the circle, the more team members from the GP were part of DT4D proposals. Lines represent a connection among GPs through a joint team for a DT4D proposal. The larger the line, the more joint teams a GP has with other GP. The map is gravitational, representing the more connected GPs (the ones with more connections across other GPs) at the center of the map, and the less connected ones (GPs with very little diversity of connections to other GPs) at the fringes.
