Framework Component Deep Dives

Introduction to the Deep-Dives

Each component in the Country System Assessment Framework is discussed in-depth in this section to enable users to develop the Assessment for the target country. Each Component deep-dive will include:

  • Rationale & objectives: Explains why the component is critical for the Country System and discusses the overall objective that the guideposts will seek to support. This paragraph will also explain the applicability of the component to the country, as needed.

  • Guideposts for Green: Lists the typical conditions that must be in place within the Country System for the overall objective of the component to be met. In some cases, guideposts are labelled as for “Best practice” to indicate that these are likely to be resource intensive elements that may be aspirational for most countries. Each condition or sub-component will be assessed a “color” based on the guidance in Section 1.4, which will then be used to assign an overall “color” for the component.

  • Sequencing for roadmap: Explains the rationale for the phasing of the components in a typical country’s reform roadmap as explained in Section 1.4. The rationale for both the Impact and Resources needed are described, as well as the resulting “Phase,” to provide the user an example of how the concept can be applied to the target country’s context, especially in the case of competing resources to undertake reforms.

  • Models/exemplars/further deep dives: Provides potential models or exemplars that users can leverage in developing reform recommendations, including the relevant context and considerations for applicability. In some cases, the deep dives will also recommend other resources to support the Assessment.
