The CAS Feedback Report is a summary of participants' comments and suggestions during the CAS Consultation Workshops held nationwide in August-October 2004. Any attribution should make this clear—that the views and opinions expressed in this document do not necessarily state nor reflect those of the World Bank.
Close to 300 participants attended the World Bank’s Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) workshops held within the period of August to October 2004. Participants included stakeholders from the national and local government, civil society, labor groups, academe and the private sector.
The discussions focused on three main themes:
- Accelerating growth
- Addressing social inclusion and inequality; and
- Promoting good governance.
In general, the consultations validated the importance of the emerging CAS themes which identified:
- Two critical areas for improving development outcomes (i.e., growth and social inclusion);
- Two levers (i.e., fiscal stability and good governance); and
- Three platforms (national and local levels and the public-private sector linkage).
The feedback report on the five consultation workshops conducted in connection with the formulation of the CAS for FY 2006-2008 is now available for download.
