                           The World Bank Group Strategy for FY06-09
The World Bank Group’s Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) for the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) proposes a new way of doing business to help these small states meet the challenges facing them at this critical stage of their development. Its guiding principles are: (a) supporting regional integration and coordination efforts; (b) partnering and harmonization in both lending and analytical work with other development partners; and (c) active pursuit of simplification and capacity building initiatives tailored to small states.
The World Bank Group’s strategy for the four years covered by this CAS (FY06-09) supports the sub-region’s development agenda through two main pillars: (1) stimulating growth and improving competitiveness; and (2) reducing vulnerability, by promoting greater social inclusion and strengthening disaster risk management.
