The review finds moderate satisfactory development outcome and assesses World Bank performance as fair. It evaluates progress across six objectives, highlights gaps in non-financial services and partially achieved fishing and environment goals, and identifies weaknesses in program design, capacity building, and project-level implementation, including delays and procurement constraints.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nFor Official Use Only  \nCLR Review  \nIndependent Evaluation Group  \n\n| 1.

Executive Summary |  |  |  |\n| i. This review of the World Bank Group’s (WBG) Maldives’ Completion and Learning Review (CLR) covers the period of the Country Partnership Framework (CPF), FY16-FY19 , as updated in the Performance and Learning Review (PLR) dated May 15, 2018 , which extended the CPF period by one year to FY20 .\u003Cbr>ii. Although poverty and inequality are relatively low in Maldives, the SCD notes that the pace of poverty reduction has been below potential, and that limited job opportunities, especially for lowskilled labor, might have played an important role in limiting the contribution of growth to poverty reduction. The first focus area of the program—promoting economic opportunities—aimed to develop skills, especially for the young, through the enhancement of primary and secondary education. The unemployment rate among ages 15-24 was 16 percent before the COVID-19 crisis, more than four times the unemployment rate among ages 25-64 (3 .5 percent) . The first focus area also intended to increase the economic benefits from the fishing industry, which is essential for shared prosperity and for creating employment opportunities for youth. The income gap between the poorest and richest segments of the population remains a source of social tensions, and interventions that help incorporate the unemployed youth into the labor market will benefit all Maldivians.\u003Cbr>iii. IEG rates the CPS development outcome as Moderately Satisfactory. Of the six objectives one was Achieved, two Mostly Achieved, two Partially Achieved, and one Not Achieved. The objective on public financial management was achieved; the education and enhancing preparedness for disaster risk management and climate change objectives were mostly achieved; the objectives on increasing benefits from the fishing industry and improving environment management were partially achieved; and the objective on increasing access to non-financial services was not achieved.\u003Cbr>iv. Overall, IEG rates World Bank Group performance as Fair. The three areas of WBG interventions (promoting economic opportunities, building resilience, and strengthening fiscal sustainability) reflected country and SCD priorities. However, program design suffered from several weaknesses despite improvement at the PLR stage. Under focus area I (promoting economic opportunities) , the objective of access to non-bank financial services is not coherent with the rest of the program. The program also could have emphasized enhancing the quality of education—basic reading and numeracy skills—and of programs to incorporate youth into labor markets, including in the growing fishing industry, which requires the development of specialized skills. Under focus area |  |  |  |\n\nII (resilience to climate change and natural hazards) , the results framework did not capture well the WBG engagement because indicators were too narrow relative to WBG support. Although according to the SCD, limited capacity and a complex administration framework limit the ability of the state to support economic progress , the program concentrated efforts on developing capacity only in focus area III (fiscal sustainability) . This lack of attention to capacity building affected negatively the implementation of the program at the project level. In a number of instances project implementation lagged because the implementation agencies had limited capacity and were unable to coordinate among themselves, and the WB did not find a ","cbCaivvX5Fp9MO7V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivvX5Fp9MO7V","pdf",994974,1,25,"English","en",105,"# CLR Review\n## Ratings and outcomes\n## Executive summary - program focus areas\n## Implementation and capacity constraints\n## COVID-19 response and overall assessment","[{\"question\":\"What period does this CLR review cover for the Maldives CPF?\",\"answer\":\"The review covers the CPF period FY16–FY20, updated through the Performance and Learning Review dated May 15, 2018, which extended the CPF by one year to FY20.\"},{\"question\":\"What ratings does the review assign to development outcome and World Bank Group performance?\",\"answer\":\"IEG rates the CPS development outcome as Moderately Satisfactory and rates World Bank Group performance as Fair.\"},{\"question\":\"Which objectives were not fully achieved, and what were the main reasons?\",\"answer\":\"Access to non-financial services was not achieved, while fishing-industry benefits and environment management were partially achieved.
