Executive Summary |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n| i. This review of the Comoros Completion and Learning Review (CLR) of the World Bank Group (WBG) Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) covers the CPS period, FY14-FY19, and the Performance and Learning Review (PLR) of December 2018. This is the first CPS for Comoros following a series of Interim Strategy Notes ( ISNs), the latest of which was prepared in 2010. The WBG programs under the ISNs were limited in scope reflecting the high level of political instability , serious governance issues and related low IDA allocations.\u003Cbr>ii. Comoros is a small island nation in Indian Ocean, with lower-middle-income status and a GNI per capita of US$2,730 (in PPP) in 2018, which is classified as a Fragile and Conflict-Affected State (FCS) . Its economy grew by 2.2 percent on average during the review period—less than the\u003Cbr>2.7 percent average of the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region—with very low inflation. Growth has been consumption driven, fueled by remittances and international assistance. In April 2019 the country was heavily affected by cyclone Kenneth, which caused growth to fall to an estimated 1.3 percent in 2019. About 38 percent of Comorians are classified as poor when measured against the international poverty line of US$3 .20 per capita per day. This is below the average poverty rate for Lower-Middle Income (LMICs) and Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. Despite consistently weak growth, Comoros made substantial progress in poverty reduction, largely due to significant remittance inflows (averaging 13 percent of GDP) . Comoros ranked 165 of 189 countries in the 2018 Human Development Index (HDI), putting it in the low human development category. Additional development challenges identified in the CPS included a shortage of employment opportunities, high risk of debt distress, and limited institutional capacity that undermines policy design and implementation. The latest IMF country report (2019) underscored Comoros’longstanding vulnerability to shocks, primarily related to weak public financial management and revenue administration, as well as to a significant current account deficit.\u003Cbr>iii. The CPS pillars and objectives were broadly congruent with the country’s own development priorities adopted in the government’s Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development (2015-19) , which aimed at: (i) growth acceleration, diversification and sustainability;\u003Cbr>(ii) development of growth supporting infrastructure; (iii) strengthening of access to basic social services; and (iv) strengthening of governance and institutional resilience capacities. The CPS program focused on two broad areas: (i) increased public sector capacity and (ii) shared growth and increased employment , which supported the country strategy by providing investment |  |  |  |\n\nfinancing and advisory support in core infrastructure (power, ICT), governance, sustainable natural resource management, and institutional strengthening in key sectors , all activities within the four pillars of the government’s strategy. The CPS sought to consolidate gains made under the ISNs (in the areas of economic management, structural reforms, and employment support) and HighlyIndebted Poor Country (HIPC) initiative and build on WBG’s expertise and experience in other FCS environments.  \niv. At the beginning of the CPS period, IDA total commitments were US$15 million, with one Development","cbCaioPgYn5Tq3PL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioPgYn5Tq3PL","pdf",1313451,1,42,"English","en",105,"#
