Indonesia Country Program Evaluation (Approach Paper)

Overview & Synopsis

This Country Program Evaluation (CPE) will assess the performance of the World Bank Group’s support to Indonesia between FY 2013 and FY23. The evaluation will focus on the Bank Group’s contribution to help Indonesia tackle key long-term development challenges and position the country toward its goal of reaching high-income status by 2045. The evaluation period spans three country strategies—the FY13–15 Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), the FY16–20 Country Partnership Framework (CPF), and the FY21–25 CPF. The evaluation seeks to identify lessons to inform future Bank Group engagement in support of Indonesia’s development priorities, including the next CPF, which is due to be completed in the fall of 2025. The CPE will assess the relevance and effectiveness of Bank Group support to Indonesia by examining how the Bank Group designed and adjusted its support in four critical development areas: promoting adequacy and efficiency of public spending, ensuring resilient urbanization management, lifting human capital to reduce inequality, and deepening of the financial sector. These themes are particularly important for Indonesia in its efforts to achieve, through sustainable and inclusive growth, its long-term development goal of becoming a high-income country by 2045.
