Guinea: Public Consultations to Inform the World Bank Systematic Country Diagnostic of the Economic and Social Situation

Launch of public consultations on the Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD)

To inform the SCD, the World Bank Group has started public consultations to identify and analyze the most binding constraints and the main opportunities that Guinea needs to address to achieve the twin goals of extreme poverty reduction and shared prosperity. The consultations started on April 4, 2017 with a workshop with the government, and will continue until April 30, 2017.

The World Bank Group has started the preparation of its new strategy to strengthen its partnership with Guinea. This process involves two main phases: (i) the Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) which aims to identify the country’s main development constraints and priorities; and (ii) the Country Partnership Framework which determines the priorities for the World Bank Group’s engagement with the country.

Online consultations are also organized (from April 4 to 30, 2017) to allow a wider participation.
