Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The World Bank (WB) Group Board of Executive Directors endorsed a new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Eswatini which outlines the World Bank Group\u2019s strategy in the country for FY2024\u20132028.<\/b><\/p>\n

This was mentioned by the world bank in statement shared to media houses. The world bank said the overarching goal of the CPF is to support Eswatini\u2019s shift to a more private sector-led growth model that can promote inclusive, sustainable, and resilient economic growth.<\/p>\n

Eswatini\u2019s five-year CPF is centred around two high-level long-term outcomes: increased private sector employment, and improved human capital development. The first high level outcome focuses on improving conditions for private sector competitiveness; growing medium, small and micro-enterprises; improving transparency, accountability, and fiscal sustainability; and increasing access to electricity services.<\/p>\n

The second high level income focuses on improving quality and retention in basic education; improving healthcare quality and coverage; and increasing access to water and sanitation, especially in regions which are falling behind.<\/p>\n

The new CPF builds on the 2015-2020 Country Partnership Strategy and is aligned with Eswatini\u2019s National Development Plan (2023-2027), which seeks to ensure recovery from weak growth and limited poverty reduction through good governance, fiscal discipline, and inclusive private-sector growth that provides sustainable livelihoods for all, especially women and youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past few years, the World Bank Group\u2019s engagement with Eswatini has grown substantially with a focus on the two most vulnerable regions of Lubumbo and Shiselweni, and our new strategy creates a platform for deeper engagement with a variety of stakeholders. For example, the CPF scales-up assistance to empower women and girls. The CPF program will also continue to strengthen Eswatini\u2019s resilience to climate change,\u201d said Marie Francoise Marie-Nelly, World Bank Country Director for Southern Africa, responsible for Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia and South Africa.<\/p>\n

The CPF reflects the \u201cOne World Bank Group\u201d strategy and features cooperation among the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). The focus is on improving the business climate and identifying avenues to stimulate private sector growth in areas outlined in the 2022 Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD).<\/p>\n

\u201cIncreasing private sector participation in key economic sectors can help Eswatini sustainably grow its economy, create jobs, boost exports, and reduce inequality,\u201d said Adamou Labara, IFC Country Manager for Eswatini. \u201cIFC is a longtime partner of Eswatini\u2019s government and its private sector, and we will leverage the new CPF to support the country\u2019s small businesses and help unlock Eswatini\u2019s potential\u2014and attract investment\u2014in key industries such as sugar, livestock, forestry, textiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMIGA is working to deepen its engagement in Eswatini in order to strengthen foreign investment flows, especially in key value chains and in support of the government to attract public private partnerships, including in the critical areas of water and solar energy,\u201d said Hiroyuki Hatashima, Acting MIGA Director of Economics and Sustainability.<\/p>\n

Digital development is a cross-cutting theme of the CPF, with the goal of enhancing access to and use of digital technologies in Eswatini. The strategy was developed in collaboration and consultation with the government and diverse stakeholders, such as civil society, traditional authorities, youth, and academia.<\/p>\n

Worth noting, Domestic workers will now earn not less than E1 400 per month on average. This follows that the Ministry of Labour and Social Security has issued a gazette in line with the 2023 Wages Council.<\/p>\n

The salaries for domestic workers, according to Domestic Workers Union Spokesperson Phumelele Zulu, during the wages council, they agreed that all domestic workers should be remunerated not less than E1 400.<\/p>\n
