| Summary: | Montenegro and the World Bank Group
(WBG) have jointly prepared a robust program of cooperation
for the next four years. In the past 18 months, the World
Bank Group has prepared the Systematic Country Diagnostic
(SCD) for Montenegro, a comprehensive analytic report
outlining challenges and opportunities that the country is
facing on the road to sustained growth and prosperity, and
the Country Partnership Framework (CPF), a document that
sets out the goals and priorities for World Bank Group
program in Montenegro for the next four years. Both the SCD
and the CPF were informed by extensive and broad
consultations with the government, local communities,
private sector, civil society and international development
partners active in Montenegro. In particular, the CPF, World
Bank Group strategy in Montenegro that came into force in
June 2016, has been developed on the basis of the diagnostic
and of the government’s own strategic priorities. Bank’s
strategy is focused on two priority areas: Enhancing
Macroeconomic and Financial Resilience, and Enabling
Inclusive Access to Economic Opportunities and Jobs. The
following policy notes summarize the key challenges, policy
options and ways in which WBG could provide effective
support. These are fully consistent with the recommendations
of the Systematic Country Diagnostic and goals of the
Country Partnership Framework, and aim to present a concise
and clear set of proposals for each priority area. The Notes
form a consistent document but each one of them can be used
as a stand-alone piece for discussion with the relevant
sector stakeholders. There are three thematic Notes
outlining key priority areas – macro-fiscal and financial
resilience, private sector and jobs, and environmental
sustainability. Each of these is accompanied by a series of
sector notes that provide additional detail. |
