PRSP – Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper Tenth Plan (2002-2007) was PRSP • PRSP is a policy document required by the IMF and World Bank before a country can be considered for debt relief within the HIPC initiative. • PRSPs are also required before low-income countries can receive aid from most major donors and lenders. • Five core principles of the PRSP were: country-driven, result-oriented, comprehensive, partnership-oriented, and based on a long-term perspective.
PRSP - Continued • The PRS process encouraged countries to develop a more poverty-focused policy and to own their own strategies through developing the plan in close consultation with the population. • A comprehensive poverty analysis and wide-ranging participation were vital parts of the PRSP formulation process. • A major challenge of PRS effectiveness was state capacity to carry out the established strategy. • Criticism of PRSP include aid conditionality, donor influence, and poor fulfillment of the participatory aspect.
