Please find the recently disclosed Country Performance and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) for 2005. The link will provide you with the country performance rating for Kenya against a set of 16 criteria in four clusters: (a) economic management; (b) structural policies; (c) policies for social inclusion and equity; and (d) public management and institutions. The corresponding 2005 average for all IDA eligible countries is also shown. In addition, you will find a detailed note describing the process and methodology conducted Bank-wide for all IDA recipient countries. For more details, a Frequently Asked Questions note is also made available.
The objective of the CPIA exercise is to assess the quality of a country’s policy and institutional framework to foster sustainable growth, poverty reduction and the effective use of development resources. This annual assessment provides a basis for the allocation of IDA resources and informs decisions on other World Bank group operations. Rigorous country, regional and Bank-wide reviews underpin the CPIA process managed by the Bank's Operations and Country Services Vice Presidency. This includes vetting within each of the Bank's operational Regions by the respective Chief Economists, followed by Bank-wide reviews conducted by sector experts outside the region, i.e. staff in the Bank's Networks and Central Departments. Rating proposals submitted by country staff are accompanied by written justifications and the reviews are also informed by Bank-wide comments, available external indicators and other relevant supporting documentation. Throughout the process, benchmark country ratings are used as guideposts to help ensure consistency of the rating within a Region and across Regions.
