The World Bank Group (WBG) is in the process of preparing a new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Pakistan that will outline its strategic support in the country over the next 6-10 years.
The WBG regularly updates its strategy and program to reflect the evolving priorities of its client countries. The CPFs aim to align with country development agendas.
As it elaborates its new CPF, the WBG has planned countrywide consultations with key stakeholders, including government, parliamentarians, private sector, academia, think tanks and civil society organizations including women and youth groups, international financial institutions and the diplomatic community, and media. The consultations aim to gather diverse views from stakeholders on Pakistan’s economic and social challenges and the ways in which the World Bank Group can best address them through the CPF.
The CPF will be informed by the 'Reforms for a Brighter Future (RBF): Time to Decide' program, which consists of ten policy notes on the country's key development priorities, as well as the Human Capital Review, the Country Economic Memorandum, the Pakistan Country Climate Development Report, Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) and the Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD). The SCD analyzes the challenges faced by Pakistan and presents priority interventions for ending extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity in a livable planet.
A series of round tables are planned over the the month of July with various groups of stakeholders. Scroll down to view the schedule for consultations.
