Executive Summary i. This review of the World Bank Group’s (WBG) Completion and Learning Review (CLR) covers the FY11-FY16 Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) and its adjustments through the FY15 Performance and Learning Review (PLR) . ii. The WBG-supported program was broadly consistent with the government’s strategy and addressed major development challenges. It was based on public sector modernization (focus area 1), job creation and improving equity (focus area 2), and promoting sustainable investment (focus area 3), and at PLR stage strengthened work on tax reform and tertiary education. The program implemented during the CPF period was broadly aligned with the WBG’s twin corporate goals. Work done under focus area 2 on job creation and equity directly addressed issues of poverty and shared prosperity. The education objectives explicitly addressed the need for improved quality of and access to education for the poor, as well as accountability of government-sponsored tertiary education institutions. In addition, objective 6 aimed to increase the access to social services for the poor, and objective 7 contained efforts to connect lagging regions and increase inclusion. iii. IEG rates the CPS development outcome as Moderately Satisfactory. Of the 11 objectives four were Achieved, four Mostly Achieved, and three Partially Achieved. Under focus area 1, the public sector was further modernized despite some delays in improving information systems, and citizens gained more access to information. Public sector financial management was enhanced less than expected due to software implementation delays, and | CLR Reviewed by: | Peer Reviewed by: | CLR Review Coordinator | | --- | --- | --- | an insurance supervision reform was launched, but the supervisor did not adopt a riskbased supervision framework. The work on focus area II (job creation and equity) achieved good results on higher education and helped strengthen social protection. The government established by law fifteen technical training centers to expand access to affordable tertiary education for low-and middle-income students; enhanced the accountability of tertiary education through a performance-based system; improved its social protection system; and facilitated access to finance for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) . The first five state-sponsored regional technical centers started operations only in 2018. There is still limited evidence of actual improvements in the educational quality of state universities. The access of the rural population to basic public services improved, but the increased use of quality and sustainable electricity services was not measured. Under focus area III, the country promoted sustainable investment through institutional improvements to engage the private sector in public infrastructure development; strengthened water management and land management institutions; and diversified its energy supply. iv. World Bank Group performance was Good. There was good collaboration within WBG, with the WB and IFC working together on strategy and dividing up labor according to comparative advantage. IFC’s support was prominent in developing energy supply from renewable resources and supporting MSMEs. The program naturally built on previous WBG work, with follow-up analytical or lending projects the result of government demand on a core set of policy priorities. WBG advisory services and analytical (ASA) activities were well integrated with lending activities carried out in education, inclusion for shared prosperity, and water management. The few WB lending activiti
