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 Strategy (CPS) , FY 15-18, and the updated CPS atthe Performance and Learning Review (PLR) dated December 13, 2017. The CPS period was extended by one year to FY19 at the PLR stage.\u003Cbr>ii. The Dominican Republic (DR) is an upper-middle income country with a population of 10.8 million and a GNI per capita (2017) of $6,630, with a modest population growth rate of 1.1 percent. During the CPS period, the country’s Human Development Index ranking advanced slowly from 102nd place in 2013 to 94th place in 2017 with a rating of 0.736. The country’s economy expanded by an average annual growth rate of 6.1 percent during 2015-17. The economy has been driven by robust domestic demand, favorable external conditions, and sound macroeconomic management.\u003Cbr>iii. The CPS had five focus areas and 16 objectives which were streamlined at the PLR stage. The overall strategic goal of the CPS was to support the government’s efforts to sustain growth and make it more inclusive. At the PLR stage, the three pillars were (i) strengthening conditions for equitable growth; (ii) improving service delivery for the poor; and (iii) building resilience. Within this context, the 2014 CPS and the 2017 PLR were aligned with the government priorities in the 2030 National Development Strategy (END), including the medium-term goals in the areas of social and productive development, and the shorter-term goals (2013-2016) for public sector institutional development.\u003Cbr>iv. During the CPS period, the World Bank approved eight IBRD operations for a total of $665 million comprising five Investment Project Financing (IPF) , two Development Policy Financing (DPF), and one Additional Financing. One regional operation for $30 million in ICT was cancelled at the request of the government due to fiscal constraints and change in government priorities. Four trust funded operations were also approved during the CPS period amounting to $4.7 million.\u003Cbr>v. IEG rates the overall development outcome as Moderately Satisfactory. Of the nine objectives, four are rated Achieved, three Mostly Achieved, and two Partially Achieved. Focus Area I is Moderately Satisfactory. Good progress was achieved on the efficiency of public expenditures and improving the investment climate for MSMEs , and some progress was made on access to financial services. There was also some progress on energy diversification supported |  |  |  |\n\n\n| by IFC lending. However, the increase in renewables especially from wind sources in 2016 could not be attributed to IFC’s investment which only began operating in 2019. Focus Area II is Moderately Satisfactory. There was substantial progress on improving access to maternal and infant health services, and increasing social protection coverage. There was some progress on improving the quality of primary education systems but limited progress on improving access to improved sanitation services. Focus Area III, with only one objective, is also Moderately Satisfactory. Improved preparedness for disaster risk management was achieved with the introduction of technical and legal standards in risk analyses for public investments.\u003Cbr>vi. On balance, IEG rates the WBG performance as Good. The CPS addressed important development issues and was well aligned with the 2030 National Development Strategy (","cbCaiq1SULuerosh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq1SULuerosh","pdf",1378582,1,31,"English","en",105,"# Executive Summary\n## Review scope and country context\n## CPS focus areas, objectives, and END alignment\n## Lending portfolio and ratings\n## Key findings, performance assessment, and lessons","[{\"question\":\"What period does the CLR Review cover for the Dominican Republic?\",\"answer\":\"It covers the Country Partnership Strategy period FY15-18 and the updated CPS in the PLR dated December 13, 2017, with the CPS period extended by one year to FY19 at the PLR stage.\"},{\"question\":\"How does IEG rate the overall development outcome and WBG performance?\",\"answer\":\"IEG rates the overall development outcome as Moderately Satisfactory.
