This Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) presents the World Bank Group's program for Djibouti during the period FY2014-2017. The CPS is anchored in the Government of Djibouti's vision 2035, a long-term development plan that focuses on economic integration, governance, and human development.
... See More + The government's vision and this CPS reflect the understanding that Djibouti's current capital-intensive, public sector-dominated growth model is no longer sustainable and that new approach are needed to address current vulnerabilities and to accelerate economic growth and job creation. The overarching objective of the CPS is to support the government's Vision 2035, working to reduce extreme poverty and build the foundations for shared growth by harnessing the country's human and economic potential. This is the first joint World Bank Group strategy prepared for Djibouti, demonstrating the deepening engagement with national authorities, civil society, the private sector, and development partners. The strategy has been defined cooperatively by the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). Even when combined, the resources of these organizations represent only a small fraction of the total development assistance available to Djibouti. The value of an integrated World Bank Group strategy lies in the Group's commitment to 'bundling' its expertise and financing, transferring global knowledge, supporting institutional capacity development, and providing timely and agile implementation support to the government's reform efforts.

Country Assistance Strategy Document 83874 MAR 13, 2014
This review examines the implementation of the FY09-FY12 Djibouti Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) of FY09, and assesses the CAS Completion Report (CASCR).
... See More + The CAS program was aligned with the government strategy (National Initiative for Social Development, INDS), and its results framework mapped well into development outcomes derived from the INDS. In this context the program aimed at contributing in three pillars to support: (i) economic growth through reducing constraints and associated costs to private sector development; (ii) access to basic social services and human development through increasing access to quality basic education, improving access to and quality of health services, and strengthening social protection and direct support to the poor; and (iii) governance and public sector management through improving expenditure transparency and monitoring and evaluation. IEG rates the overall outcome of IDA support as moderately unsatisfactory. The CAS program achieved its objectives in health and education, where there was government ownership, but did not achieve them in private sector development, governance and public sector management, where government commitment was more uncertain, particularly following a change in leadership. In the areas of governance and monitoring and evaluation, the objectives of the program were not supported by appropriate Bank interventions and required capacity building.
