The Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Kosovo for FY2023-2027 aims to support the country in accelerating its competitiveness for higher job creation and living standards. It outlines priorities for the World Bank Group’s engagement in the country, which will contribute to greater public service efficiency and quality, more formal private sector jobs, and increased environmental resilience. The CPF aims to deliver a comprehensive World Bank Group program of lending operations and advisory services and analytics.

The support for greater public service efficiency and quality, outlined in the CPF, aims to improve human development outcomes as well as economic sustainability and resilience through more efficient public spending and increased domestic revenue mobilization. The CPF program will also accompany the ongoing reforms in the business-enabling environment, access to credit, and financial market development. It will do this by supporting innovative and green financing and land titling, with a focus on promoting the inclusion of women, youth, and marginalized groups. Another part of the CPF program focuses on the support for increased environmental resilience, which promotes Kosovo’s transition toward a future that safeguards the sustainability of economic growth and citizens’ quality of life.

The CPF was informed by a series of consultations with a broad spectrum of stakeholders —government, parliament, civil society, think-tanks and academia, private sector, and international development partners.
