The SCD is not intended to carry out substantial new analytical work, but rather to draw upon and synthesize the existing evidence. A substantial amount of analytical work on Congo has been carried out in recent years, covering a wide range of subjects. These reports and studies conducted by the World Bank were supplemented by studies prepared by the government and other development partners and formed a solid basis for the analysis presented in the chapters to follow. The report is divided into two main parts. The first part presents the growth drivers and constraints for achieving the twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty in Congo by 2030 and promoting shared prosperity. The second part categorizes the constraints, prioritizes them according to the impact they have on the twin goals, identifies areas for improvement, and provides recommendations for leveraging the country’s opportunities and achieving sustainable and equitable growth. 2018-08-15T15:41:07Z 2018-08-15T15:41:07Z 2018-07-13 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/109521532706070418/Policy-Priorities-for-Ending-Extreme-Poverty-and-Boosting-Shared-Prosperity-in-a-Non-Diversified-and-Fragile-Country-Diversification-Within-and-Away-from-Natural-Resources-Sectors http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30223 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Systematic Country Diagnostic Africa Congo, Republic of
