Last November, Operations Policy and Country Services within The World Bank launched a review of 59 countries that have prepared a Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS), Interim PRS, or Transitional Results Matrix (TRM), to assess how well Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF) principles are underpinning PRS and TRM formulation and implementation. One objective of this work is to identify and agree on good practice examples from which countries in the process of consolidating a long- and medium-term country owned development framework can learn. It is also meant to help government, civil society and development assistance agencies come to a greater common understanding for improved policy coherence on such issues as developing a long-term perspective, country ownership of national development strategy, government leadership of development assistance coordination, alignment and harmonization, and a country perspective in focusing on results.

Toward a greater understanding of the PRS initiative, as an input into the 2005 joint IMF/World Bank PRS Progress Report, and the commitments undertaken in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness in March 2005, we hosted an e-discussion to invite comments on the paper's conclusions and implications before finalizing them. The discussion was held from March 14 to April 8, 2005.

The overview report "Enabling Country Capacity to Achieve Results", the 59 country profiles prepared as background and included in Volume II, as well as the summary of the e-discussion, are posted on this website.
