The review links the WBG program to the Emerging Gabon Strategic Plan, governance capacity, gender equity, and key themes on competitiveness/employment and vulnerability/resilience while reflecting deterioration after the 2015 oil-price decline.

Executive Summary  \ni. This review of the World Bank Group’s Completion and Learning Review (CLR) covers the FY12-16 Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) and its adjustments through the FY16 Performance and Learning Review (PLR), which extended the CPS period by two years to FY18 .  \nii. The WBG-supported program was consistent with the Emerging Gabon Strategic Plan (PSGE) and addressed major constraints to development. It was based on a foundational pillar on governance and public sector capacity, a cross-cutting theme of improving gender equity and two strategic themes: (i) competitiveness and employment; and (ii) vulnerability and resilience. The WBG program was responsive to country demand and changing circumstances, particularly the decrease in oil prices that affected Gabon’s growth performance and deteriorated macroeconomic stability. As a result of this shock, public expenditures were cut dramatically, impacting the PSGE and progress towards CPS objectives. While reasserting the CPS core themes, the PLR responded with a rapid increase in portfolio size as per government request. IEG’s assessment is that the areas selected for scaled-up support (information and management systems for health services; skills development; electricity and water in rural areas; roads, water, and sanitation in urban areas; and statistical development) were appropriate to the country’s challenges and CPS objectives. The CPS was also well aligned with the WBG corporate goal of reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity, with this alignment increasing after the PLR stage.  \n\n| CLR Reviewed by: | Peer Reviewed by: | CLR Review Coordinator |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\niii. IEG rates the CPS development outcome as Unsatisfactory. Of the eight objectives, one was mostly achieved, four were partially achieved, and three were not achieved. Under Focus Area I, there was little progress in improving transparency and accountability in the extractives sector (Objective 1). Some progress was made towards improving social and economic data (Objective 3). With respect to public financial management (Objective 2), progress was good with tangible contributions towards budget preparation, more competitive procurement, and wage bill containment. In contrast, limited progress was achieved with respect to budget execution, non-oil revenue mobilization, and debt management. Under Focus Area II, there was limited progress towards an improved vocational skills-building system (Objective 5) . In contrast, there was good progress in improving Gabon’s digital infrastructure and in reducing the time and cost to register a business (Objective 4) . However, progress under these areas did not translate into a measurable improvement in investment climate beyond digital infrastructure. Under Focus Area III, broadband connectivity for localities increased but there was negligible progress towards increasing access to electricity and water in rural and urban areas and towards establishing a National Health Information system to improve health services nationwide (Objective 6) . Good progress was made towards sustainable management of national parks, but limited progress was made towards sustainable management of critical ecosystems and reducing illegal poaching of elephants (Objective 7) . Finally, little progress was made towards improving knowledge, tools, and policies for social delivery (Objective 8) .  \niv. World Bank Group performance was Fair. The CPS objectives lacked selectivity, with many of them chosen in areas where there was insufficient ownership.
