Consultations for Ecuador Country Partnership Framework (CPF) 2019 -2023

Based on the WBG Systematic Country Diagnostic (link), the CPF will propose a selective but flexible program of interventions around the main country development objectives that the WBG aims to support. Such support will be prioritized based on present challenges and the WBG’s comparative advantage. To this end, the WBG will work closely with the Government of Ecuador.

The preparation of the CPF includes consultations with a variety of stakeholders, including, the public sector, academy, international organizations, development partners and civil society, in addition to representatives from the private sector. During these consultations, participants will exchange views on the country’s development needs and opportunities and the WBG can play in this context.

The Consultations Process

Consultations include face-to-face meetings in Quito and Guayaquil, that will take place on November 13th and 14th, 2018 respectively and online consultations that will start on November 12th , 2018 and will run through December 12th , 2018. The objective of the online consultations is to seek broader feedback and comments from interested parties, both locally and internationally. Through this process, we seek to hear the opinion of various groups and individuals to help prepare a better informed the CPF in the country’s current context. Additionally, these views would be used as an instrument to measure progress in achieving the WBG’s twin goals.
