Comprehensive Development Framework
Available in:,
Projects supported by the World Bank are designed to carry out national poverty-reduction strategies.
The Comprehensive Development Framework governs the development of those strategies. Presented to
the World Bank Board of Governors in 1998, the framework spells out four principles, all of which mark
significant shifts in thinking about development since the 1990s:
Development strategies should be comprehensive and shaped by a long-term vision. In the past,
development strategies emphasized short-term macroeconomic stabilization and balance-
of-payment corrections. The CDF stresses longer-term structural and social considerations, such
as expanding and improving education and health facilities, maintaining infrastructure, and
training a new generation of public officials.
Each country should devise and direct its own development agenda based on citizen participation.
The CDF holds that when countries own reforms, governments and their citizens are more
committed to seeing them through.
Governments, donors, civil society, the private sector and other stakeholders should work
together in partnership led by recipient countries to carry out development strategies.
Partnerships built on transparency, mutual trust and consultation can increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of aid, and help countries increase their capacity to develop and carry out a wide
variety of programs.
Development performance should be evaluated on the basis of measurable results. Traditionally,
the Bank tended to concentrate on disbursement levels and project inputs in evaluating
development efforts, an approach that measured only resource allocation and consumption. The
CDF emphasizes that evaluation should focus on the impact of aid on people and their needs.

The 2002 Monterrey Conference on Financing for Development produced a consensus amongdeveloped and developing countries on the need for mutual accountability in achieving
sustainable development and poverty reduction. CDF principles provide the foundation for
implementing this consensus at the country level
