This Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) FY06 to FYO9 The CAS supports the implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and sets out the planned lending and non-lending activities of the World Bank and their intended results. This CAS benefits from a more robust analysis and knowledge base of the country than existed at the time of the previous CAS (FY01-05) as a result of the broader economic and sector work that has been conducted since then and the more intensive dialogue between the Bank and the Government. Above all the strategy remains tightly focused building upon on-going activities and enhancing and deepening the strategy laid out in the previous CAS as well as building on the lessons learnt from its implementation.
