PUBLIC (Internal & External) COUNTRY PARTNERSHIP FRAMEWORK INFORMATION NOTICE (CIN) Country Brazil Time Period FY18-FY23 Initiation Date November, 2016 Estimated Date of Board Discussion June 15, 2017 ID Number P158036 1. The Country Partnership Framework (CPF) identifies the key objectives and development results through which the World Bank Group (WBG) intends to support a member country in its efforts to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. 2. The Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Brazil is expected to cover the six-year period from FY18 to FY23. The CPF will be aligned with the objectives of the country’s development strategy as outlined in the Brazil growth strategy presented by the authorities and will be rooted in the findings and recommendations of the World Bank Group (WBG) Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) for Brazil, which contains an analysis of key constraints for inclusive and sustainable growth. The CPF will support the country in making further progress on the WBG twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity through a program that focuses on creating the conditions for faster job growth. 3. In response to the ongoing changes in Brazil, this CPF is expected to propose new ways for the Bank to support the government in addressing the three main development constraints identified in the SCD. The CPF is built around three focus areas: (i) supporting fiscal consolidation and foster government effectiveness for inclusive, equitable and efficient service delivery; (ii) enabling private sector investment, productivity and jobs; and (iii) advancing more equitable and sustainable development. 4. The WBG has initiated preparation of a CPF. Consultations will be undertaken with interested stakeholders. For more information, please see contacts below. 5.
