Development Initiatives Under the Tony Blair Government
websitebuilder-hub • Dec 22, 2017
The era when Gordon Brown was chancellor of the exchequer in the UK was a time of great innovation and experimentation in the field of regeneration and economic development with ideas adopted from the US and Europe at breakneck speed.
It was the time of the regional development agencies which were charged with promoting and supporting local businesses and employment. Many of the initiatives adopted by the RDAs have since been abandoned or superseded. But some ideas continue to have merit.
OpenCities research collated some of these initiatives for the Middle East and North Africa department of the World Bank.

CPFs help to ensure that the World Bank's country driven model is systematic, evidence-based, selective, and focused on ending extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. CPFs lay out the main country development goals that WBG aims to help the country achieve, and propose a selective program of indicative WBG interventions for this purpose. More specific CPF objectives are derived from these country development goals. These are then used to monitor the program during the CPF cycle and evaluate it at the end. Performance and Learning Reviews (PLRs) are prepared mid-way through the CPF cycle. PLRs identify and capture lessons, and determine midcourse corrections in the CPF objectives and program of interventions.
The goal of GRP is to help communities in the Sahel, Horn of Africa, South Asia and South East Asia to better adapt to climatic shocks and thrive in a more resilient future. GRP brokers partnerships and investment opportunities between private, public and not-for-profit bodies around the globe and local communities in vulnerable communities.
