Approved in 2006, the first GPRSF has been completed. Before undertaking to
prepare a second GPRSF, the government decided to evaluate the performance and
impact of the first strategy, based on the three progress reports.
2. The first GPRSF had four principal objectives: governance and security, sustainable
and equitable growth, development of human capital, and combating AIDs. For each
of these four objectives, the report examines the situation at the start, measures taken
during the GPRSF implementation period, and results obtained. This summary
emphasizes (i) the impact of the first GPRSF on the country’s economic and social
life and (ii) lessons to be drawn, with particular attention to the priorities that should
dominate the future policies of the government and its partners in the area of poverty
reduction and economic growth.
