This compact, combined with rapid economic growth since 2003, has contributed to the development of a sizeable middle class, at 60 percent, the largest in Latin America as a proportion of the population, as well as effective institutions, good governance and, in consequence, a high degree of public trust in Government.

This Country Partnership Framework (CPF) is aligned with Uruguay’s 2015-2020 political cycle and selectivity has been exercised in the identification of objectives. The design of the CPF program responds to the Government’s priorities and is also closely coordinated with the programs of Uruguay’s other development partners, including IADB and CAF. The program is anchored in the findings of the new Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) which was informed by extensive consultations with a wide range of stakeholders. The proposed CPF program is designed to support the Government in its pursuit of six objectives identified in the SCD, grouped into three focal areas, namely, building resilience, rebalancing the social compact, and integrating Uruguay into global markets. During consultations, the Government endorsed the selection of focal areas (CPF’s pillars and objectives) and the technical teams closely coordinated with the Bank experts who designed a set of indicators, which are fully owned.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOWASTERISKSCAPITAL MARKETSUNEMPLOYMENT RATESDURABLE GOODSECONOMIC GROWTHPEOPLEWASTE MANAGEMENTBISEXUALREDUCING EMISSIONSCARBONPREVENTIONLAWSEXPECTATIONSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONPRODUCERSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESTIMBERLABOR FORCEEMISSIONSPOLITICAL ECONOMYHEALTH CAREREVENUESSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTINCENTIVESEMISSION REDUCTIONHEALTHCRIMEPUBLIC HEALTHLIFE EXPECTANCYRESOURCE USEKNOWLEDGEDISABILITIESOIL PRICESARABLE LANDIRONOILPATIENTSSOCIAL EXCLUSIONINTERVENTIONCAPITAL FORMATIONHEALTH INDICATORSSEXUALITYAGINGOPTIONSEXTERNALITIESFAMILY RELATIONSOBSERVATIONVIOLENCEDEBTMARKETINGPOLLUTIONFORESTRYMARIJUANASCREENINGNATURAL RESOURCESMORTALITYEFFICIENCYFISHINGHEALTH PROMOTIONFOOD PRODUCTIONCARBON EMISSIONSTAXESACCESS TO INFORMATIONLAND USEEFFECTIVE USEPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESRESOURCESUNEMPLOYMENTEQUITYENERGY CONSUMPTIONDEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHCONSUMPTIONLESBIANSWORKERSWAGESCLIMATE CHANGEAGEDSOCIAL SERVICESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTVALUESPOLICY MAKERSHEALTH POLICYCREDITSOCIAL POLICYDIVISION OF LABORCPIDEMANDHEALTH OUTCOMESVICTIMSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESSTRESSEXPENDITURESINSULATIONPROPERTYENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONDECISION MAKINGMEASUREMENTENVIRONMENTWORKSHOPSADOLESCENTSWEATHER PATTERNSSTREAMSSECURITIESMARKET COMPETITIONINTERNETENERGY EFFICIENCYNATURAL RESOURCE BASEFISHERIESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESPREGNANT WOMENTRADELANDCHILDRENECONOMIES OF SCALECOMPARATIVE ANALYSISDRINKING WATERCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGEFARMSINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONREVENUEPOLLUTION CONTROLPRIVATE CONSUMPTIONRISK MANAGEMENTINSTITUTIONALIZATIONLIVING CONDITIONSTAX REFORMSTRATEGYREGISTRATIONFAMILIESMEDICINESSEXUAL VIOLENCEENVIRONMENTALLABOR MARKETSHEALTH SERVICESIMPLEMENTATIONPREGNANCYABORTIONPRICESDEMOGRAPHICSECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIESPUBLIC GOODSENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESReportWorld Bank10.1596/23958
