The CPF comes at an opportune moment to accelerate and scale up the WBG engagement. The program will take advantage of CIV’s current climate of renewed stability to modernize the economy and eliminate long-standing disparities aggravated by a decade of multifaceted crisis, during which the World Bank Group had to suspend its operation four times. In 2009, a transitional Government resulting from the Ouagadougou Political Agreement (OPA) provided an appropriate platform to reengage. The transitional Government prepared the country’s first Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) covering 2009-2015. The WBG Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) for FY10-14, which supported the PRSP’s goals, was prepared in this context. Political unrest following the 2010 Presidential Elections then rendered implementation of the 2009 PRSP difficult. During the past four years, CIV has made an impressive transition from crisis to relative stability, and from fragility and low equilibrium, through stabilization, to aspiring emerging economy status. Although some of the root causes of the conflict remain, there are high expectations that those will be tackled if the current transformation is maintained and the reconciliation agenda is intensified. The Government expects to accelerate implementation of measures designed to improve social cohesion, develop human capital, build a resilient economy, support territorial development and promote regional synergies towards integration. The CPF will also support the achievement of the WBG’s twin goals of reducing extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity, which is also in line with Côte d’Ivoire’s plans.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOTARIFFSCAPITAL MARKETSSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTECONOMIC GROWTHENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONLIVING CONDITIONSWASTE MANAGEMENTFINANCINGREDUCING EMISSIONSINFORMATION SYSTEMCARBONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONEXPECTATIONSENROLLMENTMARGINAL COSTPRODUCERSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSBALANCE OF PAYMENTSFINANCIAL RESOURCESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESERVE REQUIREMENTSDEBT MANAGEMENTLABOR FORCEEMISSIONSPOLITICAL ECONOMYEFFECTIVE STRATEGYREVENUESFISCAL POLICYSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTINCENTIVESEQUILIBRIUMMODELSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTPAYMENTSECONOMIC ACTIVITYAGRICULTURE ORGANIZATIONAUDITSECONOMIC ACTIVITYPRESENT VALUEINTERNATIONAL FINANCEFISCAL POLICIESEXPLOITATIONSAVINGSEFFECTIVE ALLOCATIONOILJOB OPPORTUNITIESNATURAL CAPITALUNIONCURRENT ACCOUNTOPTIONSLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLIVESTOCK PRODUCTSDEBTPRIVATE INVESTMENTLIMITED ACCESSALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCYFINANCING NEEDSPOLLUTIONFORESTRYCLIMATE CHANGEECONOMIC POLICIESLOANSLABOR PRODUCTIVITYENTERPRISESNATURAL RESOURCESDEBT SERVICESUBSIDIESFINANCEMINIMUM WAGESEFFICIENCYPUBLIC INVESTMENTTAXESACCESS TO INFORMATIONLAND USEBANKSFISCAL DEFICITEXPENDITUREGOVERNMENT SECURITIESRESOURCESDRINKING WATEREQUITYCONSUMPTIONDISPARITIES IN ACCESSHUMAN CAPITALCAPITALWAGESCLIMATE CHANGECREDIT FACILITYPOLICY MAKERSGENDERBANKFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTCREDITDIVISION OF LABORDEFORESTATIONDEMANDCPINATIONAL INCOMESUSTAINABLE GROWTHURBAN AREASPUBLIC EXPENDITURESELECTRICITY GENERATIONEXPENDITURESENTERPRISEPROPERTYDECISION MAKINGAGRICULTURAL SYSTEMSTRANSACTION COSTSENVIRONMENTSOIL DEGRADATIONRESOURCE ALLOCATIONECONOMIC SITUATIONSECURITIESTAX REVENUEBANK ACCOUNTSEXPORT CROPSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTTRADELANDSECURITYDRINKING WATERINVESTMENTEXTREME POVERTYCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGEHOUSEHOLDSFARMSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTCOOPERATIONWATER POLLUTIONPRIVATE INVESTORSREVENUERISK MANAGEMENTLIVING CONDITIONSGUARANTEE AGENCYPUBLIC BANKSPROFITSENVIRONMENTALCOST SAVINGSARREARSPRICESDEMOGRAPHICSGUARANTEEDEVELOPMENT BANKCONSUMER PROTECTIONFINANCIAL SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC GOODSECONOMIESPUBLIC GOODSReportWorld Bank10.1596/23131
