| Summary: | The WBG’s Colombia Systematic Country
Diagnostic (SCD) analyzed key constraints and opportunities
that will impact Colombia’s development in the context of
three defining country characteristics. They include uneven
territorial development, a long standing armed conflict and
a growth process led by extractive industries. The Colombia
Country Partnership Framework (CPF) proposes to address
these complex development challenges with a flexible,
six-year (FY16-21) engagement that builds on the strong and
trusted client relationship established over recent years.
On the basis of client country demand, the development
challenges highlighted in the SCD, and World Bank Group
(WBG) comparative advantage, the CPF focuses on eight
critical objectives to guide WBG engagement over the CPF
period. These objectives are organized within three pillars
of engagement: (a) fostering balanced territorial
development; (b) enhancing social inclusion and mobility
through improved service delivery; and (c) supporting fiscal
sustainability and productivity. Cutting across all pillars,
the CPF aims to ‘assist in constructing the peace’ in
response to Colombia’s historic opportunity to reach a Peace
Accord after more than 50 years of conflict. |
