It responds to recovery needs shaped by slow growth, fiscal stress, high youth unemployment, poverty and inequality, and weaknesses in private investment, governance, and human development. The framework aligns with the National Development Plan 2023–2027, emphasizing good governance, fiscal discipline, job-creating private sector development, human capital, infrastructure, and sustainable environmental management. It also highlights digitalization and a transition toward private sector-led, inclusive and resilient growth while managing shocks from natural disasters, COVID-19, political unrest, and the war in Ukraine.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nCountry Partnership Framework  \nfor the  \n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n| \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>KINGDOM\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> OF ESWAT I N  I\u003Cbr> |\n\nfor the period FY24–FY28  \nCountry Partnership Framework  \nfor the  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nKINGDOM  \nOF ESWAT I N  I   \n~~ for th~~~~p~~~~riod FY24~~~~FY28 ~~  \nApril 6, 2023  \n~~ Soutt~~EE~~ee~~ss~~nn~~ee~~rica CC~~SS~~oo~~oo~~uu~~uu~~tt~~hh~~rr~~ee~~yy~~rrn~~MMaa~~AAff~~nn~~rr~~aagg~~iicc~~ee~~aa~~mm~~RR~~eenn~~eeggi~~UU~~nn~~nit~~,~~ ~~  \nSaharan Africa Department, International Finance Corporation  \nMultilateral Investment Guarantee Agency  \nThe date of the last Country Partnership Strategy FY15 –18 was October 28, 2014.
