What is a Systematic Country Diagnostic?
A Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) is a report produced by the World Bank for a client country (usually every five years) that identifies critical challenges and opportunities to ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity.
The SCD is comprehensive in scope and aims to cover all development priorities of a client country, including but not limited to those supported there by the World Bank.
The report is prepared to benefit all interested stakeholders, including citizens, governments, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, media, and other development partners. Consultations are crucial to ensuring the findings are relevant to each of these stakeholders.
The SCD is also a critical reference for the World Bank, as it provides the foundation for identifying priority areas for cooperation with the Government of El Salvador, including financial and advisory support for the next five years (2022-2026).
We Want to Hear from You!
Please help us make the El Salvador SCD relevant, timely and impactful! We welcome advice from all interested parties – both local and international – and would be incredibly grateful for responses to the following questions:
· What are the most critical reform priorities for El Salvador over the next five years?
· Do these fit into the three development opportunities listed below?
· What are the main challenges to achieving these priorities?
· Are there any areas or issues that you think are not as important for the next five years?
Online consultations are open from August 6th to September 6th, 2021. You may also wish to respond to the questions in our online survey that will take just a few minutes. All responses are anonymous and will be used to inform the prioritization.
