Overview
The World Bank is preparing to review its next round of country development initiatives for the upcoming year. As a World Bank official tasked with preparing a country development report to the president of the World Bank, you must analyze the current development situation in your assigned country, describing its advantages and challenges for economic growth. You must then create a country development plan for your country based on your analysis and should include realistic policy recommendations to help lift your country above the poverty line in the next 5-10 years.
