The report summarizes key development context, including growth trends, poverty reduction, and regional disparities, alongside political economy and conflict-related constraints. It outlines three CPF pillars—reducing rural poverty, investing in people and effective institutions, and supporting a dynamic private sector—then reviews performance indicators such as development outcome and WBG performance ratings for the period.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nFor Official Use Only  \nCLR Review  \nIndependent Evaluation Group  \n\n| 1.

Executive Summary |  |  |  |\n| i. This review of the World Bank Group’s (WBG) Completion and Learning Review (CLR) covers the period of the Country Partnership Framework (CPF), FY15-FY17 , and updated in the Performance and Learning Review (PLR) dated June 2 , 2017 , which extended the CPF period by two years to FY19 . This CPF followed the end-2012 Interim Strategy Note (ISN) that resumed WBG operations after a hiatus of about 25 years. 1\u003Cbr>ii. Myanmar is a lower middle-income country with a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of US$1,310 in 2018. GDP growth has been driven largely by investment (particularly in a large extractives sector) , more than by total factor productivity growth, labor, or human capital accumulation. Average annual GDP growth declined from 7.3 percent during 2011-2014 to 6.4 percent over the CPF period (2015-2019) . At the same time as the global economic environment became less favorable, the wave of optimism from the country’s opening in 2011 and its first democratic elections in 2015 , waned with the Rakhine State crisis , 2 heightened violence in other states, and political economy factors that made implementation of some of the more challenging reforms difficult.3 Nevertheless, poverty declined from 32.1 percent in 2015 to 24.8 percent in\u003Cbr>2017.4 There are significant regional and rural/urban disparities, with poverty in the coastal and mountain areas higher than in the delta and dry zones , and rural poverty (30 .2 percent) well above urban poverty (11 .3 percent) .The country’s Human Development Index increased from 0.530 |  |  |  |\n\n1 In the period from 1987 to 2012, the Bank supported only one project in Myanmar, the \"Avian Influenza Support Project\" (closed in 2011), financed by the Avian and Human Influenza European Union trust fund and implemented through the Food and Agriculture Organization. IFC did not have any engagement in Myanmar during that period.  \n2 The Rakhine crisis was triggered as military responses to attacks by the insurgent Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army in August 2017 led to around 725,000 people who self-identify as Rohingya fleeing the Rakhine state, ending up in refugee camps in Bangladesh, and thousands losing their lives. A further 300,000 people remain in camps in Bangladesh, with another 130,000 confined to Internally Displaced Person camps in Central Rakhinesince 2012.

Since 2011, Myanmar has been facing the challenges of a triple transition, from a military system to democratic governance; from a centrally-directed to a market-oriented economy; and from 60 years of conflict to peace in the border areas. Myanmar is included in the WBG’s Harmonized List of Fragile and Conflict-affected (FCS) countries.  \niii.
