| Summary: | This Country Partnership Framework (CPF)
for the period FY18 to FY23, draws on the World Bank Group’s
(WBG) 2017 Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) for Burkina
Faso and feedback from in-country consultations with
stakeholders. The SCD identified three top and seven
second-tier priorities necessary to end extreme poverty and
increase shared prosperity in Burkina Faso. These top
priorities are: i) improving natural resource management;
ii) promoting skills development, and iii) reducing gender
bias against women. The second-tier priorities are: (i)
building infrastructure to promote further local and
regional integration; (ii) encouraging financial inclusion;
(iii) increasing resilience through improved social
protection to the poorest; (iv) ensuring fiscal efficiency
and macroeconomic stability; (v) building up inclusive and
transparent institutions; (vi) promoting competition and
private sector development to stimulate efficiency and
innovation; and (vii) managing urbanization with efficient
urban centers. The SCD determined that the degree to which
Burkina Faso achieves success will depend on its ability to
facilitate economic transformation, expand the base of
growth beyond the rapid expansion of the public sector,
financed mainly by aid inflows and the booming mining sector
– and share the positive impacts of economic growth with
most citizens. This CPF follows the Burkina Faso Country
Partnership Strategy (CPS) FY13-FY161 and builds on the
Performance and Learning Review (PLR)2 completed in May
2015. This CPF recognizes the prevalent security context in
the Sahel Region which suggests that traditional growth and
poverty alleviation alone may not be sufficient to sustain
peace and long-term stability in Burkina Faso. The wide
range of Burkina Faso’s economic and social challenges will
not be covered by this CPF. Rather, the proposed set of
analytical, financial and advisory services will seek to
build on existing operations where the WBG has a comparative
advantage and where its transformational impact is greatest.
Use of new IDA18 instruments, such as the Scale-up Facility
(SUF), the Private Sector Window (PSW) and the Refugee
Window, will also be prioritized. Partnership and
collaboration with other development partners and regional
development organizations, meanwhile, will be nurtured. |
