This report presents the findings of the independent evaluation of the quality at entry of country and regional integration strategies. The purpose of this evaluation is two-fold: (1) assess the quality at entry of Country Strategy Papers (CSPs) and Regional Integration Strategy Papers (RISPs) and whether it has improved since the last independent quality at entry exercise (QAE1) undertaken in 2008 - 2009 (retrospective); and (2) to suggest potential improvements to the Bank's design process for its country/regional strategies in light of the Bank's Ten-year strategy (prospective).
