| Abstract: | This document lays out the strategic framework for IDA's work in Africa over the next several years. The strategy evolved over more than a year, as a result of extensive consulatation with Africa Region staff, other Bank staff, external advisors, clients, partners and representatives of sivil society in the region. Primarily an internal document to help IDA defi8ne core priorities and future directions for its work in Africa, the framework's goal is to provide strategic direction for country and regional strategies, not a rigid template. The strategy is not an entirely new framework but rather grows out of IDA's evolving response to developments within the region, changes in the enabling environment for official development assistance, and lessons of experience. The strategy asks, "What are the core areas for IDA's engagement in Africa, given its comparative advantage?" and "How should it work, given this agenda and the new approach toward development assistance?" To answer, the strategy identifies four strategic pillars. |
