The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
and the World Bank introduced the Poverty Reduction Strategy
Paper (PRSP) process in 1999 to strengthen the poverty
alleviation focus of their assistance to low-income
countries. This report reviews Nicaragua s experience with
the PRSP process, focusing on the effectiveness of IMF and
World Bank support to the process and the extent to which
the two institutions lending and non-lending activities in
the country are aligned to the objectives of the PRSP
approach. The report is structured as follows: section B
provides background on poverty, the political and economic
context, and history of national strategies in Nicaragua.
Section C analyzes the PRSP process focusing on application
of underlying principles, including through formulation and
implementation processes. Section D evaluates the support of
the IMF through the PRGF. Section E assesses the support of
the World Bank to the PRSP process. Section V summarizes the
main findings and attempts to draw lessons for the PRSP
process and for Bank and Fund operations. |
