Ratings evaluate development outcome as moderately satisfactory and WBG performance as fair, with mixed achievement across eleven objectives. The review examines three focus areas—macroeconomic balances, private sector growth, and public sector management—plus cross-cutting gender and EU accession support, including responses to the 2019 earthquake and COVID-19 shocks.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nCLR Review  \nIndependent Evaluation Group  \nCompletion and Learning Review  \nAlbania  \nFY15-FY21 Country Partnership Framework  \nAugust 31, 2022  \nRatings  \n|  | CLR Rating | CLRR (IEG) Rating |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Development Outcome: | Moderately Satisfactory | Moderately Satisfactory |\n| WBG Performance: | Fair | Fair |\n\nI. Executive Summary  \ni. This review of the World Bank Group’s (WBG) Completion and Learning Review (CLR) covers the period of the Country Partnership Framework (CPF), FY2015-FY2020, and updated in the Performance and Learning Review (PLR) dated January 9, 2019. The CPF period was extended to FY21 under the blanket extension provided by the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors due to the COVID-19 pandemic; however, this extension did not affect the results framework.  \nii. The objectives of the CPF focused on a number of Albania’s major development challenges. The CPF was the first to incorporate the WBG country engagement model prioritizing government goals. The overall objective of the CPF program incorporated these and the World Bank twin objectives of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. The CPF contained three focus areas, namely restoring macroeconomic balances, creating conditions for accelerated private sector growth, and strengthening public sector management and service delivery. There were two cross cutting themes, namely a focus on gender and assisting with the accession to the EU. The approved lending program went some way towards addressing the development constraints identified in the SCD and the CPF. However, there were significant gaps in some areas. The 2019 earthquake constituted a major humanitarian and economic shock to Albania with loss of life and severe damage to infrastructure. COVID-19 also had a significant impact on the economy. The WBG responded positively and provided timely assistance.  \niii. IEG rates the CPF development outcome as Moderately Satisfactory. Of the 11 objectives, five were achieved, three were partially achieved, one was not achieved and  \nachievement of two could not be verified. Under Focus Area I, financial sector stability was achieved, particularly as a result of the reduction in non-performing loans. Some progress was made in improving fiscal sustainability, although government payment arrears remained an issue. Under Focus Area II, two of the four objectives were fully achieved, while the business environment component, which was tracked by a weak indicator, was partially achieved. Under Focus Area III, achievement of two objectives could not be verified, while there was a notable improvement in the efficiency of the public service delivery and improved water and sanitation facilities were installed in Albania’s second largest city.  \niv. IEG rates the WBG performance as fair. Program design was fair. In a number of cases, the objectives focused on outputs rather than outcomes. There was also no clearly articulated results chain. There were shortcomings in the design of the CPF results framework, in the alignment between objectives and indicators. The reform momentum over the first three years of the program suggested that the anticipated lending program and reforms in the priority areas would be achieved. However, lending approvals slowed sharply following the elections and the onset of the shocks of the earthquake and COVID-19. Projects in some areas where reform and lending had been anticipated, particularly with regard to land reform, did not materialize and several planned operations were dropped. Initial program implementation was slow but improved during the second half of the CPF period. The initial delays arose because of procurement issues that were exacerbated by fragmentation across a number of ministries. In the second half of the CPF period, coordination between the Bank and implementing agencies and ministries improved.
