Republic of South Africa Country Partnership Strategy 2014 – 2017

The Country Partnership Strategy sets out a framework for engagement with South Africa and will be based on a partnership for development solutions. It builds upon the evolution of the past program and the growth in Bank-client engagement. South Africa is a unique client for the Bank. It is a large Middle Income Country (MIC) with sizeable revenues which obviate the need for significant external financing. It already has a substantial public and private capacity in a number of technical areas. The CPS is demand-driven and will be centered on knowledge and technical cooperation as well as support to the implementation of the ongoing lending program in energy and the environment. The World Bank will also work with South Africa to distill the emerging lessons from its unique development experience that can be helpful to other countries
