Overview

World Bank Country Assistance

In April 2001, the World Bank adopted an  Interim Assistance Strategy for Iran.  The Strategy was developed in close partnership with the Government of Iran and serves as a roadmap for World Bank assistance to the country. 

This Interim Assistance Strategy for Iran seeks to update on the current development situation in Iran, report on the progress of the process of reforms, and highlight the development challenges and prospects faced by the country. It outlines the assistance strategy that the Bank Group will follow while preparing a Country Assistance Strategy (CAS).
