Consultation for World Bank Group Indonesia Country Partnership Framework FY2026

The World Bank Group (WBG)’s new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) with Thailand sets out a focused roadmap to advance Thailand’s global competitiveness, stimulate growth and jobs, and become a more inclusive economy. Under this partnership, the WBG and Thailand will work together to strengthen private sector dynamism for better jobs in a resilient economy. The CPF is closely aligned with Thailand’s 14th National Economic and Social Development Plan (2028–2032), the Government's Unified Strategy for Thailand's Future (10-Plus) agenda, and the Ministry of Finance's Strategy for Economic Recovery and Rehabilitation. It is also designed to remain flexible and adaptive to a changing environment.

Thailand’s CPF development process builds on more than 25 strategic consultations organized from June 2025 onwards, reaching more than 1000 participants on the flagship: Building Thailand’s Future Today, from June 2025 onwards. These consultations brought together a broad range of stakeholders – including government representatives, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, financial institutions, universities, civil society and development partners -- to help shape a shared vision for Thailand’s long-term competitiveness, resilience, and job creation.

Drawing on these discussions and partnerships, the WBG has identified priorities for the FY2027–2032 CPF and is continuing to consult with stakeholders to refine where the WBG can deliver the most effective financing, technical advisory, and knowledge support for Thailand’s development vision. The CPF is being prepared ahead of the IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings in Bangkok in October 2026.

Feedback for Thailand Country Partnership Framework

We welcome views and feedback from all interested parties, particularly in response to the following questions:

What are the most important reform priorities for Thailand over the next five years?
What are the main challenges to achieving Thailand’s development goals?
What specific investment and/or analytical programs would you prioritize to address these challenges considering available resources?

Thailand’s WBG CPF FY2027–2032 is the outcome of an extensive consultation process. Rooted in the Building Thailand's Future Today flagship initiative launched in late 2025, the framework draws on a rich series of consultations with government, industry, entrepreneurs, academia, civil society, and development partners. These prior consultations provided the analytical and relational foundation on which the CPF priorities have been built. Building on these foundations, the WBG launched a dedicated round of CPF consultations in May–June 2026, engaging a wide spectrum of stakeholders to ensure that the framework reflects the broadest possible range of perspectives:

1. What is the purpose and scope of a Country Partnership Framework (CPF)?

The CPF is a short document of approximately 5 pages that presents the WBG engagement by outcomes selected from the WBG Corporate Scorecard. The CPF identifies the key objectives and development results through which the WBG intends to support a member country in its development ambitions. The CPF is intended to determine the selectivity of future investments and country engagement and is a flexible instrument.

2. How can I share my input on the CPF?

Consultations will be held with several stakeholder groups, and the schedule for these and record of past consultations are posted on this CPF consultation webpage. You can also provide feedback by email to thailand@worldbank.org in English or Thai with email subject line: “Input for World Bank Group Thailand CPF”.

3. How do I stay informed of progress and when the CPF is finalized?

This CPF webpage will be updated regularly with information from the consultations and process. Please visit this CPF consultations webpage for links to resources on the framework, purpose, process, and expected completion timeline.

4. What are the proposed CPF outcomes?

The World Bank Group has identified priority areas where it can deliver the most impact towards Thailand’s development ambitions. The focus areas for this CPF encompass the entire WBG, integrating the objectives of the World Bank, IFC, and MIGA. The proposed priority areas are:

More competitive private sector
Enhanced resilience for growth
Cross-cutting: Total Private Capital Mobilization

5. What guides the World Bank Group’s country partnership framework process?

The CPF consultation process and its purpose is guided by the WBG Directive, which provides guidance and explains its part in the country engagement.

6. Is the government responsible for the CPF? How does it influence government investment decisions?

The CPF, which is prepared by the WBG, starts from the member country’s vision of its development goals, which is determined by a country-owned and -led strategy process. It identifies the objectives and development results that the WBG expects to help the country achieve during the implementation period. The CPF then outlines a selective and flexible program – considering both ongoing and future indicative activities – that is tailored to the country’s needs.

The WBG seeks to promote country-led assistance management and to increase selectivity in line with the WBG’s mandates and comparative advantages. The WBG collaborates and coordinates with development partners to leverage resources and seek greater coherence across institutions and alignment with the country’s development priorities.
