About the CIIP:

The Competitive Industries and Innovation Program (the CIIP) was active from 2014 through March 2022. A multi-donor partnership supported by the World Bank, the European Union (EU), the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS), and the Governments of Austria, Switzerland and Norway, the CIIP provided support to high potential country initiatives, and worked to expand the global knowledge frontier on “how to” effectively design and implement competitiveness strategies.
