Abstract
| |
| This Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) for India is built around the strategic objectives of India's Ninth Five Year Plan and the Bank's past programs and extensive analytical work undertaken on poverty. The Bank Group's program objectives are defined around the Plan themes of strengthening the enabling environment for development and growth and supporting critical interventions of special benefit to the poor and disadvantaged. To translate the broad poverty reduction strategy of India to a specific Bank Group assistance program, the strategic principles of selectivity, partnership, and a programmatic approach will be applied, in consultation with the Government of India. India today represents a window of opportunity for the Bank Group and the benefits of this program of support are huge. Without successful poverty reduction in India, it will be impossible to achieve the International Development Goals. But there are also many risks involved, chiefly related to sustainability - of the reform process, of the country's fiscal position, and of many of the pro-poor interventions supported by the Bank Group. The programmatic approach, alignment to India's poverty reduction strategy, the emphasis on monitoring and learning, and the self-regulating nature of the lending program are all intended to mitigate these risks. |
