Wolfensohn (1999), to enhance the effectiveness of the partners of development of the developing countries in bringing about desired development outcomes. According to the CDF Secretariat (2000) the CDF is 'an approach by which countries can achieve more effective poverty reduction. It emphasizes the interdependence of all elements of development, social, structural, human, governance, environmental, economic and financial.' The framework is articulated around four major principles: long-term, holistic development framework; country ownership of development programs and policies; country-led partnership among various stakeholders; and, results orientation. The remainder of this paper is organized in five sections. Section two offers an analytical framework suitable for the formulation of a holistic, long-term poverty reduction strategy. The framework is used as a benchmark against which the implementation of the CDF principle on the long-term holistic development framework (LTHDF) is evaluated. Section three provides a cursory and highly selective reading of the implementation of the CDF long-term holistic development framework in the six pilot countries. In this section it is assumed that the poverty reduction strategy papers provide the embodiment of the CDF principle irrespective of whether countries state this explicitly or not. Section four provides an evaluation of the implementation of the CDF principle while section five provides an evaluation of the response of donors to the CDF principle on the long-term holistic development framework. This section is based on a survey instrument that has been designed to elicit these responses. Section six offers a few concluding remarks and proposes a number of hypotheses that can be tested in future evaluation of the CDF.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE POVERTYABSOLUTE VALUEACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESAGRICULTUREALTERNATIVE USEAVERAGE GROWTHAVERAGE GROWTH RATEBASIC EDUCATIONBENCHMARKBUDGET CONSTRAINTSCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL ACCUMULATIONCHANGES IN POVERTYCHILD MORTALITYCIVIL SOCIETYCOMPETITIVE EXCHANGECOMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENTCOMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION GROWTHCONSUMPTION INCREASESCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACOUNTRY CASECOUNTRY LEVELCRITERIACROSS-COUNTRY ANALYSISDEATHDEBTDEBT RELIEFDETERMINANTS OF POVERTYDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPMENT AGENCIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT REPORTDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTHDUAL ECONOMYECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MODELSECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC THEORYEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEXPECTATIONSEXPORT PROMOTIONEXTERNALITIESEXTREME POVERTYFEEDER ROADSFEMALE LITERACYFISCAL POLICIESFOOD SECURITYFOREIGN EXCHANGEGDPGDP PER CAPITAGENDER EQUITYGEOGRAPHIC REGIONSGINI COEFFICIENTGOODSGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTGROWTH COMPONENTGROWTH ELASTICITYGROWTH OBJECTIVEGROWTH POTENTIALGROWTH PROCESSGROWTH PROSPECTSGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEAD-COUNT RATIOHEADCOUNT RATIOHEALTH CAREHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXILLITERACYINCENTIVESINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME GAPINCOME GENERATIONINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINCOMPLETE MARKETSINDUSTRIALIZATIONINEQUALITYINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFLATION RATEINFLUENCEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNAL FACTORSINTERNATIONAL POVERTY LINEINVESTMENT RATELIFE EXPECTANCYLONG RUNLONG-TERM GROWTHMACROECONOMIC FRAMEWORKMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMALNUTRITIONMARKET FAILURESMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMEASUREMENT OF POVERTYMEASURESMEDIUM TERMMONEYNATIONAL INCOMENATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL PROCESSESNATURAL RESOURCESNEOCLASSICAL ECONOMICSOUTCOMESOUTREACH ACTIVITIESPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA GROWTHPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY DEBATEPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY LEVELPOLITICSPOORPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POLICIESPOVERTYPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ERADICATIONPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY MEASUREPOVERTY MEASUREMENTPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY REDUCINGPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC PROVISIONPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALITY OF LIFEREAL GDPREDUCING POVERTYREDUCTION OF POVERTYREGIONRURALRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONRURAL INSTITUTIONSRURAL POPULATIONRURAL WATERSANITATIONSCHOOLINGSECTOR REFORMSSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONSPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATIONSTANDARD DEVIATIONSTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESSTRUCTURAL REFORMSSTRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATIONSURPLUS LABORSUSTAINABLE POVERTYSUSTAINABLE POVERTY REDUCTIONTARGETINGTHEORYTRADETRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE REGIMETRANSACTION COSTSTRANSFERSTRENDSURBAN POORWELFAREWELFARE ECONOMICSWorld Bank10.1596/16630
