World Bank Country Partnership Frameworks & Performance and Learning Reviews (2014-present)
websitebuilder-hub • Jan 07, 2022
OpenCities have worked on a series of CPFs and PLRs for the World Bank Group (WBG), largely for countries in Africa but also Latin America.
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.
Since 2014 OpenCities has led the production of CPFs for Chad, Cameroon, Comoros, Niger, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nicaragua, Ghana, Gabon, Rwanda and others . In this time OpenCities have also led the production of five PLRs, for Burundi, Gabon, Rwanda, Chad, Mozambique and Zambia. These strategies have together shaped over US$8 billion of development spending.

Working with the IMO to strengthen maritime shipping capacity around the world
These findings are used to help the WBG improve how they integrate inclusion and sustainability dimensions into their programs and are also important in the preparation of a new CPF. Between 2014 and 2018, OpenCities have led the production of six CLRs for Chad, Mozambique, Tanzania, Niger, Guinea and Ghana.
