Growth Diagnostic Framework
Country diagnostic studies' framework is based on the inclusive growth concept as presented in Figure 1. Inclusive growth is growth that not only generates economic opportunities, but also ensures equal access to these by all members of a society. Growth is considered to be inclusive only when it allows all members of a society to participate in and benefit from the growth process on an equal basis regardless of their individual circumstances (Ali and Zhuang 2007). Hence a development strategy based on the inclusive growth concept is anchored on three pillars: one is to create and expand economic opportunities through high and sustained growth; second is to broaden access to opportunities for all members of a society; and third is to ensure the minimum well-being of the population through the adequate provision of social safety nets, while governance and institutions are a cross-cutting issue (Figure 1). A number of requirements need to be met in order to satisfy each of the three pillars of the inclusive growth strategy. Hence growth diagnostic studies attempt to diagnose the constraints that may be curtailing efforts in (i) generating high and sustained growth to create jobs and opportunities, and (ii) making the growth inclusive. The studies employ the growth diagnostic framework to diagnose constraints to high and sustained growth, and the poverty and inequality reduction diagnostic framework to diagnose constraints that may be limiting the pace of poverty reduction and inclusiveness of the economic growth. 
Based on the Inclusive growth concept, some of the commonly used diagnostic frameworks include: Related Documents
