2007 Joint Country Portfolio Review

1. The objective of the 2007 Joint Country Portfolio Review (JCPR) is to assess the performance of the country portfolio, identify positive and negative factors affecting the portfolio performance, and agree on actions for its improvement. This review covers the period from 1 January to 31 December 2006.
   
2. This is the fourth country portfolio review conducted by international financial institutions (IFIs) which provide a major portion of development assistance to the Kyrgyz Republic. The last joint portfolio review was conducted by Asian Development Bank (ADB), Islamic Development Bank (IDB), KfW German Development Bank (KfW), and the World Bank (WB) during 6-27 March 2006. The 2007 JCPR was conducted jointly by the same participating IFIs, with ADB continuing to act as the coordinating agency1. The 2007 JCPR continued to apply the result-based approaches2 towards the country portfolio management initiated during the 2006 JCPR, in order to assess, how the current portfolio contributes to achieving the Country Development Strategy (CDS) goals. The 2007 JCPR piloted an analysis of portfolio impact on achieving the country’s development objectives at the sector level. The 2007 JCPR findings may contribute to the joint results-based Country Support Strategy (JCSS) being finalized by the ADB, Department for International Development of the United Kingdom (DfID), Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), various the United Nations Agencies, and the WB.
