Description
Summary:IEG’s Country Program Evaluation (CPE) covers the period FY05–13. The period spans three World Bank Group country strategies and one progress report. It also covers the last years of the Ben Ali regime and the transition to a new political dispensation following the revolution of January 2011. The CPE aims to reflect on past performance to inform the preparation of a new Bank Group strategy for Tunisia. The following recommendations are proposed to strengthen ongoing Bank Group efforts to improve performance in support of reform in Tunisia: (i) Conduct political economy analysis to better manage risk in a volatile environment. (ii) Galvanize public support for reform. (iii) Selectively and carefully sequence first-order policy reforms (based on the political economy analysis) in designing Bank Group strategy, taking into account capacity and other constraints inherent in the transition period. (iv) Build government ownership and capacity on how to roll out the reform agenda.
