Abstract
Ethiopia has achieved substantial
progress in economic, social, and human development over the
past decade. The country partnership framework (CPF) draws
on the findings of the World Bank Group (WBG’s) 2016
systematic country diagnostic (SCD) for Ethiopia, which
identified eight binding constraints to ending extreme
poverty and boosting shared prosperity, along with two
overarching challenges: the need for a sustainable financing
model for growth, and inadequate feedback mechanisms to
facilitate citizen engagement and government account-
ability. This CPF succeeds the Ethiopia FY13-FY16 country
partnership strategy (CPS), which was discussed at the Board
on August 29, 2012. It also reflects lessons learned and
resulting suggestions from the CPS completion and learning
review (CLR), which is presented in this report. Following a
decade of strong economic growth in Ethiopia, the CPF
addresses the challenges of forging a growth path that is
more broadly inclusive and sustainable. The CPF program will
focus on: (i) promoting structural and economic
transformation through increased productivity; (ii) building
resilience and inclusiveness (including gender equality);
and (iii) supporting institutional accountability and
confronting corruption. This CPF adopts a spatial lens
through which this five-year program will seek to deliver
bold results and to tackle two of the greatest spatial
challenges to Ethiopia’s quest to achieve lower
middle-income status by 2025.
