Voir la suite The Performance and Learning Review (PLR) assesses progress under the current Country Partnership Framework (CPF) (FY16-20) and proposes adjustments to its substance and implementation. PLR consultations confirmed the continued relevance of the CPF to Botswana’s National Development Plan (NDP 11). However, challenges facing the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) portfolio caused the World Bank Group (WBG) and the Government of Botswana (GoB) to candidly assess the realism of the existing CPF. The changes are summarized as follows: extend the CPF by one year (to FY21) to allow for dynamics leading up to the October 2019 elections and then gauge the new cabinet’s priorities, intensify World Bank implementation support given client capacity constraints. In designing new projects, explore a broader mix of instruments to build institutional capacity, rebalance the scope and size of the WBG portfolio to ensure better strategic coverage of the agreed CPF pillars in line with the focus on human capital, and build on the growing collaboration between the World Bank, International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) in Botswana to leverage private sector resources for development outcomes. The RAS portfolio continues to grow with the World Bank now supporting the development of Botswana’s first collateral registry to facilitate financial inclusion. In parallel, the Government requested the World Bank to undertake a national jobs diagnostic as a core input to developing its first National Employment Policy, noted by Botswana’s President as a matter of national priority. The Ministry of Finance and Economic Development and the Ministry of Basic Education also requested World Bank to undertake an education sector Public Expenditure Review (PER) to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of sector spending and inform the design of the education operation. In the area of social protection, the Government, using World Bank TA, has developed the basic elements of a single social registry as well as piloted a proxy means test in selected districts. During consultations associated with this PLR, the authorities insisted on retaining both the education and social protection projects envisaged in the CPF. As noted earlier, IFC made an important breakthrough in FY18 becoming the first non-resident entity to publicly issue a Pula-denominated bond in Botswana. FY19 then saw Botswana’s Water Utilities Corporation contract IFC to provide public-private partnership (PPP) advisory services to a major waste water treatment plant. Réduire
