Joint Submission on the Proposed World Bank Group’s Country Partnership Framework (CPF) in Myanmar

September 12, 2014 All News, Trade and Investment

Joint Submission on the Proposed World Bank Group’s Country Partnership Framework (CPF) in Myanmar

We, the undersigned organizations in Myanmar and other countries, respectfully submit these comments to the World Bank Group to inform the development of the Country Partnership Framework for Myanmar. We belong to civil society organizations and ethnic community networks with a focus on human rights, environment, peace and mediation, and good governance with significant expertise and experience in Myanmar.
We offer these comments after a series of discussions among us and exchanges with the World Bank representatives.1 Our comments also take into account our observations on the performance of the World Bank Group in developing and implementing its two-year Interim Strategy Note (ISN). The Bank will recall that in September 2012, Myanmar organizations provided a joint submission that commented on the substantive issues with the proposed pillars in the ISN. Some of the concerns and recommendations there remain relevant to the Bank’s Myanmar CPF. In this submission, we provide recommendations pertaining to priority issues that should be addressed as the Bank deepens its country activities in the next five years.
