Abstract
This Country Partnership Framework (CPF) outlines the strategic approach to the WBG's engagement in the Philippines for FY25- 31. The CPF aims to improve the quality of life for all Filipinos by strengthening their capabilities and providing better opportunities, while minimizing volatility caused by shocks. The CPF contributes to the implementation of the WBG vision and mission identified in the Evolution Roadmap. The Philippines program focuses on contributing to eight of the fifteen WBG outcome areas: (i) protection for the poorest; (ii) no learning poverty; (iii) healthier lives; (iv) green and blue planet with resilient populations; (v) digital connectivity; (vi) more and better jobs; and (vii) more private investment. The program also tackles several of the global challenges identified in the Roadmap, including climate change adaptation, energy access, and enabling digitalization.

Publication Country Partnership Framework for Nepal for the Period of FY2025-2031(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-06-06)This Country Partnership Framework (CPF) outlines the strategic approach to the WBG's proposed engagement in Nepal for FY25-31. The design and priorities of this CPF are informed by a comprehensive analytical and evaluation program, 4 a broad-based consultative process, and, critically, the Government of Nepal's 16th Development Plan (FY24/25-28/29) which lays out its national development priorities. Two critical development challenges: (i) job-creating growth and (ii) resilience to natural disasters, including those caused or exacerbated by climate change - are the foundation upon which the World Bank Group (WBG) is building its FY25-FY31 engagement. The CPF will span a seven-year cycle, with the first five coinciding with Nepal’s 16th Development Plan. Although the main challenges remain broadly the same as in the previous CPF, this CPF incorporates several shifts based on the WBG evolution and lessons learned. It builds on two principles: an exclusive focus on two development challenges - job-creating growth and resilience to 9 natural disasters (Principle 1) and balancing ambition for transformation and the need for near-term results (Principle 2). The CPF uses the three standard selectivity criteria: (i) WBG Mission to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet; (ii) Country development goals and demand; and (iii) WBG Capacity and Competence.Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Republic of Senegal for the Period FY20-FY24(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-02-11)This five-year Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Senegal lays out the World Bank Group (WBG) program for the FY20–FY24 period, which aims to support the country in its path towards achieving middle-income status by 2035.Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Republic of Cabo Verde for the Period FY20-25(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2019-09-30)Propelled by almost 20 years of sustained growth, Cabo Verde achieved low middle-income country (MIC) status in 2007, one of the first African countries to do so. The impact of the 2008 crisis on Cabo Verde’s growth trajectory was heightened by the country’s undiversified economy. Since 2016, the resumption of growth, combined with fiscal consolidation efforts, have helped to strengthen public sector finances. In response to these challenges, the Government launched an ambitious development strategy for 2017-2021, the Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development. The FY20-25 Country Partnership Framework (CPF) will support the Government’s strategy through highly selective interventions.Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Period 2020-2025(World Bank, Kazakhstan, 2019-11-12)Past economic success notwithstanding, this Country Partnership Framework (CPF) comes at a time when Kazakhstan faces growing challenges. Institutional and governance reforms have been identified by the Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) as the main constraint to achieving Kazakhstan's development goals. This CPF incorporates shifts in the World Bank Group (WBG) program that are intended to directly support Kazakhstan's development objectives and assist it in IBRD graduation. The CPF will also involve a high degree of selectivity to ensure that its programming is consistent with the WBG's value proposition to upper-middle-income countries as well as the IBRD graduation policy.Publication Country Partnership Framework for Croatia for the Period FY25-FY30(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-06-18)Over the past decade, Croatia has demonstrated significant progress in economic development and improvement in living standards for its citizens. Economic performance during this period, including the country’s strong recovery following its pandemic-induced recession, was underpinned by sound economic management and notable reforms. Growth benefited significantly from the tourism sector rebound, which accounted for 19 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024. In addition, significant inflows of European Union (EU) funds during 2020-24, cumulatively totaling around 19 percent of 2023 GDP, helped boost public investment and economic growth. Croatia’s growth has contributed to substantial progress in living standards, with GDP per capita in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms increasing from 60.7 percent of the average EU27 level in 2015 to 76.8 percent in 2024. However, in order to sustain strong growth and progress on shared prosperity and poverty reduction, Croatia needs to tackle several fundamental challenges. First, Croatia needs to increase the overall productivity of its economy by boosting private sector investment, promoting diversification of the economy toward higher value-added sectors, and addressing remaining business environment challenges that reduce dynamism in the market. Second, Croatia needs to contend with demographic challenges that are contributing to shortages of labor with the skills required to sustain growth. Third, as a country with rich environmental endowments that also underpin its large tourism sector, Croatia needs to decouple its growth from environmental pressures associated with water use and air pollution and manage its significant exposure to extreme weather risks. This will require better management of natural resources, reducing pollution, and mitigating environmental and climate risks. Croatia also needs to increase energy efficiency and expand renewable energy sources to reduce risks associated with global energy price volatility and improve economic performance in key sectors. Finally, despite recent progress, further strengthening of institutions is needed to sustain economic and social development and enable Croatia to tackle its development challenges effectively. The FY25-FY30 CPF will have a strong knowledge focus and will further strengthen Croatia’s contribution to the global development agenda.
