The Ministry of Economic Transformation (MET) and the World Bank Group (WBG) completed an in-country mission in preparation for the development of Belize’s new Country Partnership Framework (CPF), the institution’s engagement strategy within the country for the next ten (10) years. The CPF aims to enhance resilience and promote inclusive growth through country-level targets aligned with national priority areas, such as the blue economy, education, agriculture, energy, and transportation.
