Background

MNC03 is the country department managing the Egypt, Yemen, and Djibouti country programs. The WBG is a major development partner for all three countries. A rich program of knowledge and analytical work underpins our engagement in all three countries. In Egypt, the Country Partnership Framework (CPF) was approved by the Bank Board in March 2023. The CPF puts the people of Egypt at the center of the strategy in pursuit of three high-level outcomes (HLOs): (1) more and better private sector jobs; (2) enhanced human capital outcomes; and (3) improved resilience to shocks. In addition, the CPF outlines two cross-cutting themes—governance and citizen engagement, and women’s empowerment. The CPF adopts a flexible approach to lending, with a financial envelope of US$7 billion (US$1 billion per year from IBRD and about $2 billion investments by IFC during the entire CPF period), in addition to investments from MIGA.
