LNOB Tree4Options
Implementation
Monitoring
Planning
Goal:
This tool gives practical guidance on embedding the 'Leave-No-One-Behind (LNOB)' principle into development projects and programmes
Key features:
- relevance check for LNOB
- sound and concise background information on the LNOB principle and its application in various contexts
- individually tailored and context-sensitive support to implement the LNOB principle, including respective tools and sector-specific examples
Duration:
10 Minutes up to several hours, depending on level of engagement
Particulary relevant for:
Development planners and practitioners aiming to get support for anchoring LNOB more strongly in their working context
Goal:
This interactive and accessible tool enables and supports the embedding of the 'Leave-No-One-Behind (LNOB)' principle into GIZ projects and programmes. In particular, it helps to answer and practically apply fundamental questions about the LNOB principle, its relevance for respective projects, its effect on a project's efficiency and impact as well as its implementation and utilisation within respective programmes.
Key features:
The digitally edited tool is particularly notable for its engaging and easy handling. It self-explainingly navigates users through a multitude of options depending on specific contexts and the users' specific needs. The LNOB Tree for Options inlcudes sound and concise background information on the LNOB principle and its relevance and application in various contexts. Practical advice on the principle's implementation into different areas and levels of application, corresponding tools as well as sector-specific examples provide individually tailored support and contribute to a firm establishment of the LNOB principle.

Fiscal policies to reduce inequality
Implementation
Monitoring
Strategy
Goal:
This three-part study focusses on the impact fiscal policies can have on inequality.
Key features:
- Background information on methodology and concepts of measuring inequality and the impact of fiscal policies on inequality
- Analysis of fiscal policies on the revenue and expenditure side
- Recommendations to inequality reducing tax and expenditure mixes
- Best practices and exemplary case studies
Particulary relevant for:
Project implementers, project designers and advisors advocating for progressive taxation and inequality-reducing tax and public expenditure.
Goal:
This three-part study focusses on the impact fiscal policies can have on inequality. It analyses different taxes and expenditures and their implications on the reduction of inequalities in a Handbook as the first component. The second component, the Analysis of German reform partner countries, examines fiscal policies in reform partner countries of the German development cooperation and identifies potentials for possible further action. The policy brief summarises the main results of both components. The components are interconnected and complement each other.
Particulary relevant for:
Project implementers, project designers and advisors advocating for progressive taxation and inequality-reducingtax and public expenditure.
Indicators Matter to LNOB – An indicator toolbox to leave no one behind in fighting poverty and inequality
Monitoring
Planning
Goal:
This study provides a practical guide and toolbox for project designers and implementers to strengthen their indicators by making them pro-poor- as well as inequality- and LNOB-sensitive.
Key features:
- background information on methodology, concepts and gender sensitivity
- five steps and tools to formulate good poverty, inequality, and LNOB indicators
- good exemplary indicators to measure poverty, inequality, and the LNOB principle
- recommendations for improving indicators and reflection questions
Particulary relevant for:
Project designers and implementers who are seeking to include pro-poor, LNOB- and inequality-sensitive monitoring into their projects
Goal:
This study provides a practical guide and toolbox for project designers and implementers to strengthen their indicators by making them pro-poor-, inequality- and LNOB-sensitive. These improved indicators can track progress and facilitate gearing additional efforts to leaving no one behind in the fight against poverty and inequality.
Key features:
The study includes background information on methodology, concepts and gender sensitivity as well as five steps and tools to formulate good poverty, inequality, and LNOB indicators:
Step 1: context analysis - Tool 1: context and exclusion analysis
Step 2: definition of results level - Tool 2: results level identification
Step 3: selection of indicator type - Tool 3: indicator type identification
Step 4: making indicators SMARTer - Tool 4: SMARTener
Step 5: planning data collection and monitoring - Tool 5: data collection and monitoring plan
The study concludes with good exemplary indicators to measure poverty, inequality, and the LNOB principle and provides recommendations for improving indicators as well as respective reflection questions.
Particulary relevant for:
Project designers and implementers who are seeking to include pro-poor, LNOB- and inequality-sensitive monitoring into their projects
Good practices and strategies to reduce poverty in conflict-affected contexts in sub-Saharan Africa
Strategy
Goal:
This study establishes effective strategies to meet the dual challenge of adressing both poverty as well as fragility, violence and conflict.
Key features:
- effective strategies to overcome challenges of projects that adress poverty in fragile contexts
- existing tools, lessons learned and good practices based on case studies of projects that work in and on conflict
Particulary relevant for:
Policy makers and project planners that are working either in or/and on conflict.
Goal:
Considering that most people living in extreme poverty reside in conflict-affected areas, this study outlines the interplay of poverty and fragility. Based on a sample of projects and programmes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where most of people living in extreme poverty reside today, it establishes effective strategies to meet the dual challenge of adressing both poverty as well as fragility, violence and conflict.
Key features:
The study displays observed challenges of projects that address both poverty in fragile contexts as well as effective strategies to overcome these. Each povertyreducing strategy is based on good practices, lessons learned and existing tools next to a review of advantages and disadvantages. Real-life examples, checklists and a concise as well as engaging presentation of the results ensure the study's applicability into various contexts. All of these feed into the last section of core questions and good practices that function as guiding principles.
Particulary relevant for:
Policy makers and project planners that are working either in or/and on conflict.
