Voir la suite This review of the World Bank Group’s Completion and Learning Review (CLR) covers the period of the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), FY14-FY18, and updated in the Performance and Learning Review (PLR) of February 21, 2017. This is the first CPS following three consecutive Interim Strategy Notes (ISN) in FY07, FY09, and FY11. Nepal is a low-income country with an average GNI per capita of $733 (2014-2016) and a population of 28.9 million in 2016. GDP per capita growth slowed to 0.6 percent in 2016 and inflation peaked at 12 percent in 2015-2016. The IMF estimates GDP growth at 7.5 percent for 2016-2017, and 5 percent in 2017-2018. The 2016 UNDP Human Development Index ranks Nepal 144 out of 188 countries. Poverty incidence fell from 46 percent in 1996 to 15 percent in 2011; and, it has continued to fall since then according to the Systematic Country Diagnostics (SCD, 2017). From 2004 to 2011, the consumption of the bottom 40 grew twice as fast as the top 60. But, inequality across regions and ethnic groups has been a source of political upheaval. During the CPS period, the country experienced two exogenous shocks and major political transitions. Two earthquakes (April and May 2015) took 9,000 lives and destroyed or damaged assets for approximately one quarter of the country’s GDP. Trade and fuel disruptions in 2015 further impacted economic activity. After the conflicting parties signed a peace treaty in 2006, Nepal has undergone a critical political transition, which culminated in 2015 with a new constitution that veers towards federalism. IEG concurs with key lessons from the CLR which are summarized as follows: (i) the important contribution of a solid knowledge base and outreach for policy reform in a difficult political environment; (ii) the need to find the right and adequate instruments that fit the fragile implementation environment; (iii) attention to selectivity not just regarding the number of objectives but also of instruments so as to not overwhelm implementation capacity; (iv) the need for a multi-pronged approach to implementation; (iv) the critical role of WBG leadership and coordination with Development Partner community; (v) the limitation of the community managed interventions from the perspective of impact and sustainability; and (vi) the need to focus results beyond project levels.
