The Poverty Reduction Strategy Initiative : Findings from 10 Country Case Studies of World Bank and IMF Support
This book provides an independent
assessment of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Initiative for
the World Bank as well as the broader development community.
It offers a in-depth review of the progress thus far, with
particular focus on the role and effectiveness of the
Bank's support, drawing from extensive discussions with
national stakeholders in Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSP)
countries, research and analytical work, and country case
study reports on ten PRSP countries: Albania, Cambodia,
Ethiopia, Guinea, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nicaragua,
Tajikistan, Tanzania, and Vietnam. The author of The Poverty
Reduction Strategy Initiative concludes that the Initiative
has led to improvements in national strategies and processes
in some low-income countries, such as an increased poverty
focus, a higher profile for monitoring results, and better
donor-government dialogue. However, the contribution to
broad poverty reduction, especially in more difficult
country environments, is largely in jeopardy without
significant changes. The author argues that the Initiative
should be reoriented toward improving domestic processes and
less on completion of documents, customizing the approach to
particular country circumstances, filling analytical gaps to
better understand which actions will provide the greatest
poverty pay-off, and making sure the assistance programs of
external partners are anchored in the country's poverty
reduction strategy.
