Main Expectations: To integrate poverty reduction objectives into national economic policymaking and general socio-economic development strategies and programmes; and to facilitate viable policy options and institutional mechanisms to foster more pro-poor macroeconomic stabilization strategies, sustainable growth and higher levels of human development. To Strengthen the foundation laid for MDG-based planning processes in RBA countries on the issues of pro-poor policies and macroeconomic modeling and how to elaborate a MDG-consistent Medium-Term Expenditure Framework.
Objective/Purpose of Project: The project has two major focus areas as follows: i) integrating poverty reduction objectives into national economic policymaking and general socio-economic development strategies and programmes; and ii) facilitating viable policy options and institutional mechanisms to foster more pro-poor macroeconomic stabilization strategies, sustainable growth and higher levels of human development. The project will complement other related regional and country programmes supporting preparation and implementation of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) and building more effective linkages between PRSPs and MDGs, as well as statistical capacity building and socio-economic policy impact assessments.
