| Summary: | In preparing these policy notes, the
World Bank intends to provide the incoming administration
with some considerations and recommendations on key
development policy issues. The focus of these policy notes
is on the challenges that need to be overcome and the policy
options that can be pursued to keep the Dominican Republic
on a path of sustainable and inclusive growth. The sectors
and thematic areas covered in the policy notes include: (i)
recent trends in poverty and shared prosperity; (ii) the
quality and coverage of public spending on the social
sectors (education, health, and social protection); (iii) an
assessment of the factors that can affect the quality and
efficiency of infrastructure services in the sectors of
water and sanitation, and electricity; and (iv) the factors
that can affect the sustainability of growth from an
economic, social, and environmental and climate resilience
points of view. Each policy note describes succinctly the
current country context, what the existing main challenges
are in each sector, and what the focus of policy should be
to secure sustainable and inclusive growth. |
