The country operations business plan (COBP), 2019–2021 is aligned with the three strategic pillars of the country partnership strategy (CPS) for India, 2018–2022: (i) boosting competitiveness to create more and better jobs, (ii) providing inclusive access to infrastructure networks and services, and (iii) addressing climate change and increasing climate resilience. About 45% of the proposed program under the COBP will contribute to the first pillar, 95% for the second pillar, and 58% for the third pillar.

The proposed pipeline is aligned with the government’s flagship programs in energy, transport, urban, and skills sectors and aims to demonstrate high value addition in implementation and their impacts.
