SECTOR 06

Economic Development

Among the most powerful tools for reducing poverty, and among the most fiscally fragile. The central question is always financing.

THE SECTOR CHALLENGE

Economic development strategies often fail not for lack of ambition but for lack of grounding, in market realities, fiscal constraints, and the coordination failures that hold back growth. Plans are written; structural constraints remain.
