Streamlining
Country Partnership Strategies - A Quick Guide
Country partnership strategies (CPSs) are ADB's primary platform for designing
operations to deliver development results at the country level. A review
of the relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency of our existing CPS preparation
procedures has found the need to improve and streamline the CPS process.
The scope of the new CPS will be confined to providing the rationale for
the selected focus of ADB operations by customizing ADB’s broad mandates
for country-specific circumstances.

MfDR capacity assessment tools, the CAP-Scan allows countries to conduct
an assessment that provides a clear view of capacity gaps, develop actions
to address them and targets donor support.
