| Summary: | The World Bank Group’s new country
engagement model consists of two separate but connected
instruments: the Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) and
the Country Partnership Framework (CPF). The SCD assesses
the constraints and the steps a country needs to take to
achieve the twin goals of poverty reduction and shared
prosperity, and the CPF is the Bank Group’s program of
support to the borrowing country, typically over a five-year
period. This evaluation found that the new SCD instrument
has been well received, including by governments and
development partners. The SCDs were strong in identification
of opportunities for economic growth, but there were
weaknesses in the dissemination of the reports, and a clear
approach to governance was missing in some SCDs. The CPFs
build on the country analysis in the SCDs, but aligning new
program priorities has proven challenging, and there have
also been weaknesses in how identified data gaps will be
addressed. The identification of indicators for the results
frameworks has been a strong point. The integration of IFC
and MIGA into the CPF process has improved significantly,
although some budget transparency issues remain. The
expected areas of concentration for IFC and MIGA could be
highlighted better in the results frameworks. |
